This unit covers the use of equipment and teaching aid.
Since unit 14 already covered some of the teaching aid materials such as course work, visual aids, work sheets and et.
I will mainly focus on equipment and touch on the teaching aids if necessar.
The unit illustrated the various kinds of teaching equipment, and the necessary protocol in using them correctl.
The most common equipment that appear in a classroom is a boar.
Whether it is a whiteboard, a blackboard or a flip char.
Boards are the most versatile and durable equipmen.
Board can be used to write, draw, stick some teaching aids on it, or use as a projector scree.
Rules of using the board is to keep it clean, keep the writings neat, clean out the unnecessary information, be aware of the student's writing spee.
When using the interactive whiteboard(IWB), we need to familiarize ourselves with the equipmen.
It is best that we ask if there are any colleagues that may assist us with the equipment or training provided by the schoo.
Regardless of what equipment or teaching aids, we always need to prepare extra backup plans just in case of equipment malfunctioning or accident that might ruin any prepared teaching ai.
Teaching aids may comes in the physical form as presented in unit 14, however we can also consider audio recordings, videos found on the internet can be treated equally as teaching aid.
These teaching aids can be used to increase student's interest in the class while exposing them to authentic material.
However, we need to be mindful of the lengths of these teaching aids, and arrange your class lesson accordingly to the syllabus or schedul.
I think the unit taught me always to prepare a backup plan.
Equipment not functioning as intended happened quite often according to my own university experienc.
The back up plans provide a sense of comfort and diminish the waste of time when such occasion arrive.
Other important message that I learned, is to be aware of the equipment's state, and student's reaction to the teaching equipmen.
We need to figure out what teaching method/equipment engaged them most and plan the lesson accordingl.
