Time is not our friend… yet!
Ken and I went a little over the allotted time of this week’s class too, but we managed to finish our tutoring that day.
I think we did a good job. My take-away from this week’s teaching is that we are making great progress at helping the students feel more comfortable to participate.
It wasn’t my intention to use the multi-user function during class, but it was a lifesaver in multiple ways:
– Shy ss don’t have to talk, or turn on their cameras, and still participate.
– Peer tutoring, a student can learn from the interaction/action/reaction of their peers.
– Ss have a sense of freedom.
If I could do anything differently:
– I would take more time explaining things, I felt rushed because we were approaching the end of the class (one hour is so short a time…)
– I would improve the balance between the skills I want to work on in class (I may have focused too much on grammar).
To be continued
