https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw "Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of the fire" W.B Yeats en-us 2017-10-02 19:51:44 UTC 2025-11-02 14:06:34 UTC hello@padlet.com eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198533 The best thing about this lecture on Intorductions was that it was so relatable. To date I hadn’t felt as reassured as I did in that lecture. While in most other lectures we talk about how to do everything the methods etc. here we talked about how making mistakes isn’t that much of a deal, it’s ok not to be perfect, especially in your very first TP lesson.
 
I also thought the TED talk was very inspiring. She talked about her students in a very hopeful way, the way she motivated her students to do well was nothing short of amazing. One thing that really stood out was her marking technique if a student scored 2/20 it was +2 and a smiley face not -18 , this focused on the students capabilities to do well not the fact they got 18 wrong.]]> 2017-10-02 20:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198533 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198606 In the amount of time in the class I gained some very valuable lessons .

First of all I realized the importance of a hook in a lesson opening. I learned that a hook should be included in the lesson opening but the lesson opening itself should not be heavy in content. A hook should grab the students attention  hoping to engage them for the lesson.

I also learned that Assessment for Learning is the most ideal way to assess learning in the new Junior Cycle. It is a way in making sure students are continuously OK with the learning ans should be worked into every lesson.

On top of this I found out that every key skill doesn't need to be incorporated into each lesson, it’s ok to incorporate these over a scheme of work and actually probably works more effextived

At no point was I confused and I understood what I have to do for each of my assignments.

I was relatively engaged throughout the lecture today, at no point did I find my mind wandering.]]> 2017-10-02 20:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198676 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198897 - What to do if students do not engage from the beginning?
- What do I do if I’m asked something I don’t understand?
- What do I do if I run under time?
- What types of hooks can I use to engage students?
- How long should an introduction to a lesson last?

I thought this was a fantastic Idea hooking the students from the get go. From on top of the desk all students could see him and he would ask them what he was holding it’s functions etc. A fantastic way to ran their attention and learn at the same time.

I will also be trying to use my sense of humor in the classroom, just because I’m a teacher does not mean I have to lose who I am as a person so Is I’ll try to incorporate it into the lesson as much as I can .]]> 2017-10-02 20:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193198978 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193199073 - Jumping on the table technique.
- Marking to encourage students.
- Same quote each day to make students believe that they deserve to be here and deserve an education.
- A engaging hook for the beginning of class to get students involved from the beginning.]]> 2017-10-02 20:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/193199073 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/aax9rm3812pw/wish/194238078 Today we also learned what it takes to be a good teacher, the following qualities came to fore:
