Short and concise description what I did and how I did it:

Useful in age group:

19 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 50, 51 to 66, 66 over

Aim to be achieved:

Learners are given the opportunity to revise the forgotten topics without disturbing other students as well as they can study individually

How did I achieve it:

Introduced video teaching materials developed by CamStudio 2.5 Beta in the teaching process

I encountered these problems and my following approaches helped to solve these:

Problem: 1. Not all the learners are able to master the new topic when told about it for the first time. 2. If learners do not revise the acquired material, they forget it quickly. Solution: When introducing video materials developed by CamStudio 2.5 Beta, learners can use them at any time – to learn again the things that they have not understood, to revise the forgotten topics or learn a new topic individually if the learner has not been present in the class.

Why do I consider this approach to be effective and useful:

Usefulness and efficiency in applying the method One of the most economical ways on how to pass on to the younger generation general and systematic knowledge and skills. The efficiency of the methods can be increased by using different developed materials. Explanatory-illustrative method: • if used correctly, the learners are offered ready knowledge; • it can be used when starting to acquire a new theme, when a learner does not have any preliminary knowledge, thus students are interested to learn more; • it can be used to revise a new topic. Usefulness and efficiency of CamStudio 2.5 Beta: 1. Free of charge, everyone has free access to it. 2. Saves resources. 3. Eases and improves the learning process. 4. Materials can be adjusted to different levels of knowledge. 5. Possibility to study individually; 6. Possibility to revise any topics; 7. It possible to send the materials via e-mail to students unable to attend classes.

Short and concise description what I did and how I did it:

In order to urge the learners to use the Internet and search for the necessary information, a trainer can offer the theme - TRAVELLING (as everyone enjoys travelling)
Possibilities offered inwww.google.com/maps

Useful in age group:

19 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 50, 51 to 66, 66 over

Aim to be achieved:

To teach the learners how to use and adjust the Internet resources for their own objectives and interests.

How did I achieve it:

Gives insight into the possibilities www.google.com/maps offer so as to plan a journey and view the most spectacular places in the world.

I encountered these problems and my following approaches helped to solve these:

Problem When teaching about the Internet people find it difficult to accept the idea that the Internet is World Wide Web, where the necessary information can be found without using any resources. Solution: Getting acquainted with the possibilities www.google.com/maps offers, learners get acquainted with the extensive possibilities provided by the Internet, and they can relate them to a real life situation and necessity.

Why do I consider this approach to be effective and useful:

STUDENT`S BENIFIT • Google/maps kindle imagination, give possibility to travel round the world implicitly, thus giving possibility to do the sightseeing. • Give learners positive emotions and motivates learners to go deeper into a certain theme; • The insight into the extensive offers provided by the Internet is developed; • When learning to use the Internet for obtaining the necessary information, other resources are saved. TEACHERS` BENEFIT • As the lecture turns into an exciting and interesting activity, learners are motivated to be more active. • Gives higher guarantee that all the learners will get involved in the class, because they see the usefulness and possibility to use the acquired knowledge in the future. When starting to learn the Internet in that way, a teacher creates positive attitude, which is especially significant when working with elderly people, as well as the preconceptions, they are having in regard to IT, gradually decrease.

Tools:

Possibilities offered in  www.google.com/maps
1.      The map can be zoomed in or zoom out, moved to the right or left/ up or down.

Short and concise description what I did and how I did it:

A teacher registers in  www.classmarker.com, three sections are offered:

Useful in age group:

19 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 50, 51 to 66

Aim to be achieved:

To offer students a more interesting and easy to perceive test or way on how to determine students` knowledge in the time and place favorable for the students.

How did I achieve it:

Introduced a new tool www.clasmarker.com in the teaching process

I encountered these problems and my following approaches helped to solve these:

Problem: 1. When learning a new theme it was rather difficult for the students/pupils to determine their knowledge level (what is or is not already known/understandable to them) 2. Due to the lack of time it is hardly possible to check students` knowledge during the lessons. Solution: After introducing this method (tests in e-environment), students can do the tests and find out their knowledge level in a place and time suitable for them.

Why do I consider this approach to be effective and useful:

Test in E-environment: 1. Free of charge, no time and place restrictions, accessible environment – the acquired new material, revision and testing of the knowledge. 2. Saves a teacher’s time (when a teacher uses this tool, the depositary of tests and questions is formed, which can be easily supplemented and corrected, and students can be tested in a short time) 3.Students` knowledge can be determined quickly (a teacher and also a student can immediately, after completing the test, check the level of knowledge; it is also possible to see the answers- right or wrong). 4. Quick way to visualize the results (the possibility to import the results into MS Excel program, process them by using the program facilities).
