Tips #1  Voice Projection
Being a teacher, voice projection is important during teaching process when we are standing in front to make sure every students can listen what we are teaching them and having them to focus in the class. A loud voice projection also shows power. Not the power of discriminating people, but the power of conquering the class to makes the students listen to us and having a sense of respect to us. As for me, i should project my voice even louder, as most of my classmate commented that my voice is not loud enough to heard by the class.

Monday, 10/12 is our wrap up and last class for Edu555, and we gather at our usual class which is at DK FF2. Sad moment but yet very meaningful for us as some of our classmate speak out to everyone what they have learned throughout the semester. A few cried and we felt very emotional too. 20 minutes of teaching infront of the class really does give a huge impact to us to realize of how important and how big a teaching career is. Really am happy that this experience helps us a lot and gives the determination to do a lot better next time.
