Temogo Kgotlaetso

1. I enjoyed the topic he was teaching from the beginning and end.

2. I think Temogo should refrain from just solely reading the content off the slides to the learners, especially on a one toned voice, and to be more enthusiastic when teaching the content, such as giving his own descriptions and examples of the content.

3. Temogo did not use much ICT tools.

4. I believe he did meet his LO's.

5. To be more engaging with his learners and explain the content in other words and not just solely from the slides.

Pathutshedzo Thagwana

1. What did you like about the lesson?
I really liked how Pathu made the lesson practical and relevant to learners’ everyday lives by using real-life examples of wages, salaries, and expenses. The explanations were clear, and learners could easily relate the content to their families and communities. The activities encouraged participation and critical thinking, which kept the class engaged.

2. What can be improved in the lesson?
One area for improvement could be pacing. At certain points, the explanations felt a little rushed, which might make it difficult for some learners to process the information fully.

3. How well did this lesson make use of ICT tools for online teaching?
The lesson made effective use of ICT tools, especially with visual aids like slides to explain the difference between wages and salaries. The interactive tools, such as the quiz game and breakout discussions, were very interactive and kept me engaged throughout the lesson.

4. Did the lesson meet the learning objectives?
Yes, the lesson met the learning objectives. Learners gained an understanding of what wages and salaries are, how they differ, and how expenses affect budgeting. The examples and exercises showed that learners could apply this knowledge in practical scenarios, which aligned well with the objectives.

5. What does the teacher need to consider for the teaching of this lesson in the classroom?
For classroom teaching, Pathu should consider incorporating more hands-on activities, like role-playing a budgeting scenario or completing a worksheet where learners calculate wages and expenses. This would strengthen practical application.

Lerato Lekoloana

1. I enjoyed the creativity and energy Lerato brought into the lesson. The use of a video made the concept of entrepreneurship very engaging and easy to understand, while the game encouraged learner participation and made the learning process fun. The combination of visuals and interactive activities really captured my interest.

2. What can be improved in the lesson?
The game was exciting, but at times it moved quite fast, which may have left some learners behind. To improve, Lerato could include short pauses to check understanding before moving to the next stage of the activity. A short-written reflection or summary task could also be added to reinforce the key points from the video and game.

3. How well did this lesson make use of ICT tools for online teaching?
The lesson made very good use of ICT tools. The video gave learners a real-world context for entrepreneurship, and the game helped apply the concepts in an interactive way. To make it even more effective, Lerato could use online polls, quizzes, or breakout rooms for group brainstorming activities.

4. Did the lesson meet the learning objectives?
Yes, the lesson successfully met the learning objectives. Learners gained a clear understanding of what entrepreneurship is, the qualities of entrepreneurs, and why entrepreneurship is important in the economy. The activities demonstrated that learners could apply the knowledge in both discussion and play.

5. What does the teacher need to consider for the teaching of this lesson in the classroom?
She could encourage group discussions or role-play where learners come up with their own entrepreneurial ideas, which would further enhance collaboration and creativity.

Jamie Lee Tomes

1. Well planned lesson , it was creative and very engaging in a way that we were able to actually learn more about our five senses

2. The lesson needs no improvement as it was engaging , well thought and help develop thinking skills - using your imagination which we encourage as teachers in a real classroom setting

3. The use of ICT TOOL was engaging as the teacher used random wheel selection and having learners use their imagination by looking at the picture which promoted engagement

4. Yes the lesson met the lesson objectives because it allowed learners to use descriptive words in relation to our senses and making sentences in relation to our senses

   5. In a real classroom setting , teacher may consider using practical example of each of the senses they would want learners to know

Ashleigh Everton

1. Informative lesson that made use of a 3D model to explain the female repoductive system in detail which would help learners understand the various parts of it beyond what we know

2. The lesson could include an activity where we get to label and give the specific function of various parts of the female reproductive system

3. The use of the 3D model was very engaging and informative and therefore give learners a visual representation of what they already know in depth

4. Yes the lesson met the lesson objectives as the learners were able to see the various parts of the female reproductive system and their functions are well explained

5. The topic is very complex however the teacher would have to make sure that learners are comfortable and it is a respectful environment where teaching sensitive topics do not hinder learning. The teacher can also not focus on the female reproductive but both male and female

Lesego Phoshoko

1. Well prepared lesson , the teacher was able to link how a circuit works like the human body which is such an interesting relation. Included visual representations of how a circuit looks and detailed differentiation of parallel and series circuits. Showed various components of a circuit which was informative

2. Have learners design their own circuit or have their way of making their own circuit using the same online tool

3. The use the ICT tool showed practical representations of what the various components look like and how we connect them

   it promotes a hands on approach to how circuits are connected and the various components work to make a complete circuit

4. YES , the lesson was engaging and interesting and informed us on the various components of the circuit and their functions

5. In a classroom setting , the teacher might have to use a practical example of simple circuit which can be bought instead of using the online tool

   In an under resourced school, the learners might have to make use of drawings to show how a simple circuit looks

   provided that the teacher can show pictures of these various components to the learners
