I teach English from B1 to C1 levels. 
My school is also an Ib school and I teach English B,too. 
In my classes,I have around  20 students.
I use smart board and cd player in my lessons.]]> 2017-10-18 15:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/198300752 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/199758939 I was thinking that doing projects is the same with project based learning.That is why I have decided to take this course.
After I have watched the videos and checked the worksheet, they are totally different.I hope to learn more about project-based learning and implement it in my classes effectively.
Thanks for uploading this worksheet.It really helped me to understand the difference.]]> 2017-10-23 19:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/199758939 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/199760817
I teach English from A2 to C1 levels.I am also an English B(IB) teacher in a private high school.
I mostly use communicative teaching.
 
One of the most important things in my class is to teach creative thinking skills to students.I really like searching for new approaches and implementing them in my classes.
I believe that my current teaching style will fit into PBL.Because students' having permanent knowledge is very important.
Sometimes I notice that the students forget what they have learned in the previous lesson.That's why, each lesson I make a revision of the previous lesson.

I sometimes make the students do some projects in the school time and guide them.
I can implement PBL in a B1 class under the topic of presenting an author.]]> 2017-10-23 19:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/199760817 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200118845 My school is the high school of a University ,which is a plus for us.Because we always collaborate with the teachers and students there.
Also,we have social responsibility activities that the students need to  fulfill.
We have a friend-school that we collaborate.We sometimes help this school,too.Last year our students painted the walls of this school.
We also come together with the parents and  organize some events for our students.
We also have a career day.
Plus, we sometimes invite famous people who are experts in their jobs  and hold conversation events with them.
I have never used e-twinning before.I have been member of it.But I have not found any appropriate project till now.I hope I can find in the following weeks.]]> 2017-10-24 17:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200118845 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200126655 In my school, as academic honesty is very important ,we assign homeworks on Turnitin. In Turnitin, there is a discussion board.The students discuss about the questions asked by me.
I also use google classroom . For document collaboration and co-authoring, we use one-drive. It gives the students the chance of editing the same document at the same or different times.]]> 2017-10-24 17:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200126655 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200968150 First of all , I learned that assigning project homework is not the same thing with project based learning.
In pbl, students can make their own decisions too.
Students engage in the process by asking questions and inquiring. Students may explore real-world issues and work out solutions to them.
The students are also the parts of a whole,which means collaboration is vital in pbl.
They can control their own learning process, which makes it funnier and attractive.]]> 2017-10-26 18:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/200968150 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/202300743 In the beginning of my teaching career, I didn't use to know where to start teaching.I usually used to get confused about it.But I got more experienced, I learned how to teach a topic step by step.]]> 2017-10-31 19:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/202300743 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/202304539
I believe , the most important thing in education is motivation.If we, as the teachers demotivate the students for a specific target,We weaken the student' s confidence.

If we don't value the students' ideas and always try to shape them in a way we want they can lose their independence, which is a barrier for a student to become individuals.

Realistic expectations are really important too,If you have too high expectations from the students, they can feel themselves under pressure and it can cause chaos.

Creating unpleasent and boring atmosphere in the classroom can also demotivate the students.

As the teachers, if we become control freak ,it can prevent students' gain their independency.

Overall, it shouldn't be forgotten that all the students are unique.They should be given enough chance to build up their confidence and become more independent.]]> 2017-10-31 19:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/202304539 shiningforthelife https://padlet.com/shiningforthelife/7lp7jutrk7dj/wish/203506536 Here , there are some links about PBL;
