Well as a sports teacher games (besides techniques and performance) are in the center of overall teaching specially if dealing with kids. The game drives the student to be in activity. I can imagine sports and digital thecnology combined (counting times, sequence colours, tatics management, etc). As a language school diretor dont need to write about the importance that games can take in a class, we all know it improves the language skills (the thinking process does not take a number 1 priority in the classes as we just want students to learn a language)

I goal is to reach a small kid. So my main job is to make him comfortable for open up. The main way is a game for me. And the feedback for me is how kid talks with me.

During the execution of the game, as a teacher I am placed in the center of the pupils, at any time I try to stimulate the leader's feeling in the game, the game should be attractive to all the players.

Alina, Romania
During the classes I try to be a facilitator, I am in the middle of of children and I try to answer their questions and let them to discover things, to interact each other. Through games teaching is easier but if they need help we have to get involved in their activity.

AnitaS, Croatia

anita_simac — 2019-04-29 12:40:51 UTC

A teacher should be many things: inspiring, a moderator, facilitator, motivator, assistant, support and interacting with students whenever necessary (sometimes it is good to stand back and let them try to find the solution on their own initially without butting in and giving them the answer). At the moment I walk around a lot during the lesson, never standing in one place (hardly ever sitting). Feedaback and discussion is an ongoing process every lesson.

psaridou — 2019-04-29 12:46:51 UTC

I usually do not have any specific location in the class, since I like wodering around children. I try to give them feedback as many times as possible, usually at the begging and the end of each teachning material. I believe that many of my ways will be changed when use games in the class

lucy Italy

2019-04-29 12:47:36 UTC

children in general learn better when they are active. Games can provide a valuable learning experience in which the children practise and revise language only if they are carefully chosen, according to students’ styles of learning.

Dušanka,Croatia

2019-04-29 12:48:15 UTC

My role in the classroom at the moment? I`m walking all over the classroom most of the time. I give them often feedback. I think that studing wouldn`t change a lot, but the children would be happier becouse they would have new games .

Cécile

cecile_vsd — 2019-04-29 12:52:47 UTC

At the moment, my main task in the Classroom is to help students who need help. I feel a little frustrated because some students do always need help which does not allow me to help other students.

Neli, Romania

Alenka Miljević, Croatia

2019-04-29 13:32:32 UTC

I don't have a fixed location in the classroom. It depends on what we're working on and on the lesson activities. I give them feedback in various ways: orally, written, with gestures, signs/stamps. I do use games so giving feedback with games is very useful because students are emotinally engaged so it can help them to remember more precisely what to do in order to "win" or gain more points for example.

At the moment, i try to be a facilitator, an assistant and also try to support my adults. Most of the time the classroom is in the my school but sometimes it is outside of the school. In this lessons i try that the adult develop their (writting) work, i with this intention i give some suggestions, i recomended some videos and/or documents about the theme. Another times i try to make some dynamics (some of those that our time learn in Erasmus last year). I'm hopping that with this course i continue to make more dinamics in the classroom and this way motiveted more the adults...

Emilija

Most of the time i am in front of my students. I give them feedback in differently ways. I interact with my students live in the classroom or online at home. I should motivate and support them.

Eliana,Italy

elianamassari1 — 2019-04-29 13:48:41 UTC

In class I often use cooperative work groups so most of the time they are packaged for students to answer questions and observe how the work is progressing.

Sanja, Croatia

lidijaantolic — 2019-04-29 13:56:04 UTC

The most common role I as a teacher play in the classroom is to teach knowledge to children. I walk around in the classroom, write on the blackboard, sit at my desk when checking homework assignments. Children get oral and written feedback each day. The success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students knowing exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital when playing games as well as setting up activities.

Ramona, România

2019-04-29 14:10:55 UTC

Physically, I walk between them, watching the time, their way of playing / answering. Most of the time they play in pairs. The back-up is always a positive one. Abia waits the next hour to play online games. Thus, the hour becomes more attractive, they are active, relaxed, especially because they do not get notes and learn through the game much faster.

Carmen (Spain)

c28fernandez — 2019-04-29 14:11:22 UTC

I am usually monitoring their activity from a certain distance. They play gameboards or they speak in parís/small groups. I correct pronunciation and elicit them to speak. If they are doing monologues, I correct them when they have finished speaking.

Cristina Antal, Romania

2019-04-29 14:12:45 UTC

I want to know that I am everywhere in the classroom and the truth is we are playing all the time games that the children want to play just that we link the game to the week/day/lesson theme.

Nurcan,turkey

2019-04-29 14:12:49 UTC

Elements such as interactions, feedback, and motivating elements of motivation are among the most powerful weapons of instructional design. When we consider the game concept in this respect, we can say that it contains the features we know to be effective in teaching methods.

Mihaela, Romania

2019-04-29 14:51:54 UTC

Depending on the game. When we play a game for the first time i am part of it. We play together. After that I am a facilitator or monitor.

Rukiye,TURKEY

As a teacher I am a part of a role play because I am not the same person in real life

Ludmila, Moldova

cojocari_ludmila — 2019-04-29 15:10:04 UTC

I find myself in an important moment. Explain the requirements, the rules of the game.

Donatella, Italy

2019-04-29 15:31:46 UTC

At the moment, I see my role mostly as a "guide". This is my main aim in this moment. I generally stand in the front part of the class, never sitted down, and generally I move through the students working in pair or in small groups or alone. I encourage interactive stimulating opinion and ideas, giving continuous feed-back. All these way to work is very positive for learning also if very expensive . I think that introducing games may help in terms of efficiency.

Guntis, Latvia

Konstantina, Greece

2019-04-29 15:41:26 UTC

As a teacher I am all over the class among my students and trying to gain their interest and to provoke their interaction in the class with questions and answers. The change with games will be the way of learning on their own way.

Emanuela, italy

My role in the classroom is that of guide and facilitator. I think interaction is important through the continuius stimulation of opinions and ideas

Juha, Finland

2019-04-29 15:50:40 UTC

Usually at the beginning of the lesson we do some tasks together and during that time I'm at front. The rest I'm among students helping the groups with their tasks.

Maria Rita, Italy

mariarita_pepe — 2019-04-29 16:15:15 UTC

Whenever I have tried a form of gaming in the class, I had to change my physical position and move around my students. I must admit I sometimes have difficulties handling the louder and messy environment created by these activities.

Corina Voicu, Aiud-Romania

2019-04-29 16:28:18 UTC

I am in the front of the class, but I like to walk behind them all the time. I interact all the time with them by telling the lesson, a joke, a game. I interact with them. We talk all the time and have fun. I love whwn they said: It is the end of the lesson? When did the time go so fast?

FLORINA POPESCU, ROMANIA

florinappsc — 2019-04-29 16:33:26 UTC

in the morning I stay down on he floor, with all my pupils, on Morning Circle. I visual interaction all the time, with all children. After that, I move entire day among children. Children move among 7 activity centers: Library, Play role, Arts, Water and sand, Build, Maths, Science.

Nurten Karakış,Turkey

isakarakis — 2019-04-29 16:47:06 UTC

I actually have a desk in the classroom, but I usually prefer to be with the students.
Sometimes I don't have a place on the table sometimes with a student.
I make short evaluations at the end of the course.
I am getting feedback with various web 2.0 tools recently.
For example, plickers

Buta Ramona, Aiud-Romania

2019-04-29 16:47:15 UTC

I walk to the classroom. The games are verrz good to practice and be creative.

Sandra, Croatia

sandra_botunac — 2019-04-29 16:50:24 UTC

I am very active trying to involve students as much as possible. Most of the time I stand or walk around but during pair or group work we all mingle or sit together in a circle. Using quiz, gap fill activities etc. are good for feedback. In future I plan to use them more because games are great fun and students are more engaged.

Marina, Zadar, Croatia

2019-04-29 16:52:57 UTC

I think that introducing games in my classroom can make my teaching more interesting to them.

Minodora, Romania

minodoraciulei — 2019-04-29 16:56:24 UTC

Creative play takes two forms: a role play in which children perform certain real or imaginative social roles using toys or other objects or as a construction game in which children, with the necessary materials available, can recreate the approximate configuration of some objects, or they can make fancy joints.

Ivana Ž., Croatia

2019-04-29 16:58:19 UTC

I see myself as a director/moderator. At beginning of my class I am at the front (giving assignments), then I move to the side (while they work on their own), then I walk around the classroom to check on students work and give them feedback, at the end of the class I am at front again. I think games would change type of activities I give students, but my trajectory should stay the same..

Nikolina Reder, Zagreb / Croatia

mnika_witch — 2019-04-29 16:59:26 UTC

At the moment? I must admit it is mostly the front of the class, leading the way.
But, when I have the chancce to prepare activities for self-directed learning, or game like activities there is nothing better but to stand back and watch the magic happen. Then I walk about, help where help is needed, or just listen in on what is happening. And how to know if it is working? When they say at the end of the lesson: The lesson is over? Already? :)

Jesús, Spain

2019-04-29 17:07:12 UTC

I think one way to change the pace in my classroom is to do a small group activity. But what type of small group should I use? It depends on the size of my class, the length of time I have available, the physical features of the classroom and the nature of the group task.
I also give them a chance to validate their ideas in a small group before mentioning them to the large group, which may help shy students feel more confident participating. I use oft learning teams too. Using learning teams eliminates the time it takes to organize students into groups each time I wish to use group work. Using learning teams eliminates the time I take to organize students into groups each time I wish to use group work. However, because students are working with each other over an extended time period, I must be very careful about how I assign them to groups. I have students submit data cards about themselves at the beginning of term.

Fiorella, Malta

2019-04-29 17:13:47 UTC

At the moment I try my best to do a task and then go around the students. Sometimes during lessons I also sit at the back of the class and ask students to use the interactive board. Games are fun and they also set an encouraging atmosphere.

Sofia Tsigara

2019-04-29 17:20:22 UTC

Mirela, Croatia

tonkovic71 — 2019-04-29 17:40:11 UTC

I'm always among my pupils, because I like to see what they write, how they write or if the write. I'm trying to help them. I would like them to know they can ask me anything.

Leticia Gil, Spain

l_pilargil — 2019-04-29 17:41:41 UTC

Claudia Murelli Italy

2019-04-29 18:00:29 UTC

In authentic tasks EAS I launch feedback where children build their learning through cooperative problem solving I am a director ... of a learning that children build themselves I intervene only as a feedback broker
... usually my feedbaks are few, children come to learning by reasoning

Jasna M., Croatia

jasna_moscarda1 — 2019-04-29 18:08:34 UTC

At the beginning I am in the front while explaining the task, then I move around the classroom or stand in the corner monitoring and moderating, at the end students play short games connected with the task to have a feedback of the lesson.

Teacher Dragana, Serbia

Teacher_Dragana — 2019-04-29 18:47:27 UTC

At the beginning of the lesson, I am at the front, introducing the topic, brainstorming with students, letting them come up with the rules, etc. When I ask questions, I use pieces of paper with my students' names on them to call them out, and when they know the answer, I put a plus on their piece of paper. Gradually, I start walking round the classroom and monitor my students. Towards the end of the lesson, I move to the front again.

Iva, Croatia

2019-04-29 18:56:56 UTC

When explaining the assignment I am in front of the class, and when the students work on their assignments I walk arround the class and follow their work. Several times during my classess I give verbally feedback to the students, and after school I mostly give them written comments via Edmodo.

Mariana-Doinita Vechiu/Romania

marianavechiu — 2019-04-29 18:58:51 UTC

My role is teammate. Physically, they are part of their playgroup. We play everyday and feedback is based on symbols, verbal applause, applause. I do not think. Each game has its beautiful part if it is introduced when it is necessary .

Renée, Luxemburg

reneeschaber — 2019-04-29 19:02:45 UTC

In a few weeks I want to reintroduce a lot of project-based learning. I had already done this before and I really saw that the students are really engage; they are in the center of learning. They decide what they're interesting in. and where they want to focus on. I was more a coach; I gave them the context and help. But the main choices where their. They had really appreciate it.

Sandra Mendes-Portugal

2019-04-29 19:20:05 UTC

I try to have an active role in the classroom...I usually don't sit, I like to walk around the classroom and monitor stds. I interact with them through a variety of activities and I give them feedback by giving praise and by having conversations in group or individually in order to try to solve issues. By introducing games the interaction would be more dinamic and positive because usually stds like and engage while learning through games.

Diana, Croatia

2019-04-29 19:22:41 UTC

When I introduce new content in the class I’m often standing in front of the class, and I’m in the center of attention. I still can let the control of this part. I try later in the classroom to change this with different teaching methods. The students have to work in teams or with a peer. I give my students feedback, but not very often. Games in the classroom could take away my total control over the classroom and they could see how much they know, because you need to have knowledge to come forward in a game. That’s also a kind of Feedback. In case they fail in the game they will try harder, than when I provide them with the same feedback.

Rebecca, Malta

becky_pisani — 2019-04-29 19:28:54 UTC

I have a very active role in the classroom. Most of my day is spent interacting with the children. When I am explaining something I always have them gather around me so that they can focus on what I am saying. I use a lot of visuals for this as they are young. When doing activities with them I do them as whole class activities so that they encourage and help each other out if needed. I praise them all the time and if they do not achieve the goal I reassure them and encourage them to try again.

Cristina,Romania

2019-04-29 19:30:14 UTC

Anita, Cro

2019-04-29 19:38:54 UTC

I am not in the class. I work with pupils who have learning disabilities, so we are usually "one on one/two". Mainly, I sit next to pupil and work with him through conversation, tasks, games...I tell them what is good, and what needs correction, and why.

Eva, Croatia

knjiznicarka_eva — 2019-04-29 19:59:19 UTC

Mostly, I am not in a class. My classes interact with language and literature classes. In a school library the sating arrangements and the general atmosphere are different. I interact a lot with my students and I am mostly seated with them (on the floor, at the desk, etc.) and I am working and playing with them. I have a lot of workshops with my Librarian Group, where we create and learn.

Vesna,Serbia

vesna_jaquet — 2019-04-29 20:55:34 UTC

I see myself as a teacher who is engaged all the time in the learning process. I walk through classroom when they are doing a task or a pair work, listen, help, monitor, I stand in fornt of the whiteboard when I introduce a new subject or a grammar point. I try to engage them even when I notice they don't like the subject, to tell me why do they feel that way and I always try to provide a feedback and let them know of their learning direction and level.

Vânia, Portugal

Roberta, Italy

2019-04-29 21:03:24 UTC

I don't have a single role and location. Sometimes I stand opposite my students and I have to explain something. Sometimes I just walk around and act as a facilitator and mediator (when SS are working in groups or pairs). Sometimes I stand behind my students and let some of them give the lesson..

Josette, Malta

attardjosette136 — 2019-04-29 21:10:27 UTC

I am a Learning Support Educator and at present I support one student who has language delay and attention deficit. During the day I usually sit next to the the student I support but I also interact with the other students sitting around the same desk. Most of the time I prompt the students to follow the teacher's instructions and support them during the activities as they are still young. When a new game is introduced I usually explain and show them how to play the game. Usually all the class play together and everyone take turns. In this way students learn from each other, while I can observe them. At the end I give them feedback and assure them that next time they can do better.

Lucija, Croatia

2019-04-29 21:55:03 UTC

I am in the front of classroom the most of the time, when I want to explain something, or when we talk about something. If pupils must solve some problems, I walk around the classroom, or if students work in groups, I assist by a group that calls me.

Rubén, Spain

2019-04-29 22:15:13 UTC

I kind of move a lot in the classroom. I don´t like to stay in the same place. I interact with them differently depending on the activity we are doing. Sometimes I guide them more and sometimes I am just there for them but as an observer. I am sure games would change the way we work in the classroom.

Marília, Portugal

mariliaabana1 — 2019-04-30 00:01:22 UTC

My classroom is always changing
If I am explaining I stay in front to my students
If they are working, ecah one is in there place
If is team work, I put the tables together

Liliana,Italy

lilugiov — 2019-04-30 00:32:49 UTC

when I explain new topics I use the blackboard to let the students memorize the new words while they carry out the activities I observe them approaching to see if they have understood the exercise to be performed. Once assimilated the students sit down making a semicircle where in the center there is a pupil who begins to ask questions in Spanish and the same companions up to guess the mysterious character

Dilek,Turkey

eda210383 — 2019-04-30 04:54:32 UTC

I usually prefer to be in front of the students to have eye contact but when they need help or it is time to check their work I try to be close them or sometimes behind their desk to watch their group works During the games I try to be silent as much as I do and let them free to have fun but if there is a conflict with eachother then I just say" Be calm please"then they go on :)

Danijela, Croatia

2019-04-30 05:33:43 UTC

I stand in front of my students only if I have to explain or write something on the board, and I usually walk around the classroom. I don't think it will change if I introduced more games.

Sündüs, Turkey

2019-04-30 05:46:58 UTC

I'm in the place where the class can see me. But I don't usually stand in a certain place in the classroom. Between the students, I sit with them. Sometimes I watch them. Sometimes I help them work. I provide daily and weekly feedback.

Ina, Croatia

2019-04-30 05:57:29 UTC

In kindergarten, however, it is a little different than in school, though it would be great for children to continue with such work at school. I offer children various didactic incentives for different development areas on the same subject so that everyone finds something in their interest. I use group and individual work.

Petra Kokeza, Croatia

pepy5 — 2019-04-30 07:15:42 UTC

I stand in front of my students, if I have to explain or write something on the board, and I usually walk around the classroom. We talk every day, so I have a good feedback from them. We are small school, and we know excellent every student. I think it would not change if I start introduce games in my classroom, because we also use games now.

Lidija Hatadi, Croatia

2019-04-30 07:51:47 UTC

It depends on the lesson where I am. If we are dealing with new material, I usually stand in front of the board so anyone can see me well, if I practice my work, I go to the classroom and help the students individually.

Daniela G, Romania

2019-04-30 07:59:08 UTC

A small part of time I am in the front of classroom to explain something, or when we talk about something. In the most part of the time I am between the pupils to see how they solve the problems, to help them.

Susana Oliveira, Portugal

susanaroxo — 2019-04-30 08:06:45 UTC

Normally I start by explaining the themes, I share the theoretical part by the various beginnings of classes. I explain the rules, the timing and the challenge. But my role is always to guide and "arbitrate" the unfolding of events.

Saša, Croatia

2019-04-30 08:18:07 UTC

I try to interact with students as much as possible, ask questions and make them think. Feedback is mainly through talking and also written in digital format where each student can follow his achievements. Games could help with the feedback but caution is needed not to overdo it.

Nadia, Romania

2019-04-30 08:57:09 UTC

As a teacher my role in classroom is to motivate students by trying to stimulate active student participation.

Tamara

2019-04-30 08:57:34 UTC

If I have to explain something, then I'll probably stand in front of my students and close to the PC. But, when we play games or if the ss have to do the exercises I walk through the classroom, and if necessary, help my students.
Not all the classes are the same - so I can interact with some classes more, and with some less, depending on their knowledge, topic, interest etc.

Olivera Koteva , North Macedonia

olivera_koteva — 2019-04-30 09:06:41 UTC

From this academic year I work as a librarian and when I have workshops with students or a section depending on the methods and forms that I use such is my interaction with them. Of course, the use of games contributes to greater interaction and a better working atmosphere.

MONICA CIOBANU-ROMANIA

monicaciobanu1973 — 2019-04-30 09:20:32 UTC

The game is the basic activity in kindergarten and includes all areas of activity, making the learning process attractive, engaging and easily assimilable by the child.
The educator must be a creator.
In their game as a partner, as a facilitator.

My role depends on the activities or tasks I have to do with my students. Generally I stand in the middle of the class as facilitator of the learning process. I thing that if I would introduce games in my classroom I would improve my role as facilitator and moderator

I am among the students most of the time. We do lots of practical things and play games, I like interacting with them, helping them, sharing with them, talking to them. And students like it, too. But because of my teaching methods I am sometimes considered an "incorrect" teacher by my colleagues and the school administration.

Iam a pedagogue in school. Depending on my planned workshop, I use games so that I can get good feedback from students and also motivate them for good cooperation.

knjiznica_zlata — 2019-04-30 11:40:31 UTC

Games help me to motivate pupils, to interact with them, I like that kind of approach where i can play with them and make them more interested in the topic we are talking about...We often make posters, mind maps, use digital tools and other sources to make lesson more creative.

Zvonko, Serbia

gzvonko62 — 2019-04-30 12:22:45 UTC

It depends on lesson. If we are dealing with new material, I usually stand in front of the pupils, otherwise, whenever I can, I walk in the classroom, even when we playing a kahoot quiz.

Marija, Croatia

2019-04-30 12:23:28 UTC

I am moderator of the learning process. My location depends on the type of the lesson. If we are doing something new, I usually stand in front of the pupils and explain material and if we are revising then I walk and approach to each pupil. Most of the time I provide constructive feedback to my pupils. Not sure, but definitely something to be considered.

Gráinne Ireland-Resource Teacher

nugentg_sbn — 2019-04-30 12:35:28 UTC

At present i am in a small classroom with not much room to move. I teach children with literacy difficulties. I use games to reinforce phonics and sight words but I haven't given much thought to using them for assessment for learning purposes. Normally as the room is very small I am seated. When I'm in a large classroom I am standing and walking. As many have said- For new topics normally at the top of the class but as the topic progresses I move around more. I would love to use more games in both situations.

I usually try to:
- provide support, empathy and inspiration
- facilitate thinking, growth and engagement
- generate classroom activities based off of understanding students
- help my students feel safe to experiment and free from strict time constraints

Eva López Sepúlveda, Spain

evalopez3 — 2019-04-30 13:02:50 UTC

I am a PE teacher, so I am used to deal with games.
I usually try to:
1. Introduce the game and some basic rules
2. Give them some skills like ingredients in a recipe
3. Move around to motivate them, introduce some new rules when things doesn´t work or new challenges to improve litle by litle.

Anthippi Harou (Greece)

anthiefl_edu — 2019-04-30 13:24:19 UTC

I try to be a facilitator in my classroom by engaging my students in projects which allow them to take decisions, and to cooperate with each other through group work. During a class I like to move around from group to group and provide help whenever necessary. I always encourage my students on any effort they make. I like providing feedback on the spot, but as this is sometimes impossible for all of my students, I take notes and discuss problematic areas in subsequent lessons. I’m absolutely sure that if I adopted a more game-based approach to my instruction, my students would be more enthusiastic and more motivated to learn things which may now find boring.

Valerica, Romania

dvaly2010 — 2019-04-30 13:44:25 UTC

It depends on the activity. I try to be a modern teacher who faciliate learning, who brings new tools in the classroom to surprise students and make them active. Sometimes I play with them to show what to do. It is not easy, but if we do not have different roles in the classroom our students become bored and do not pay attention on what we what to teach them.

Ildikó, Hungary

tokajii07 — 2019-04-30 14:06:11 UTC

When we play in the classroom (or outside), I am in the middle of the room until I describe the game, set the rules or distribute any tools they need but then, I either sit down waiting for the result - if the go out of the classroom - or go around and watch, listen, observe and fix problems, answer questions, sometimes take part. However, there are classes when we do not play. In this case I talk more, I correct, give feedback, and stand in front of the class mainly. Of course, Students may do pair or team activities but these are not games. I don't consider the Kahoot a game from this point of view, it is just a digital quiz which is more engaging, need some preparation as it is not in the book, but watching the board and answering questions it not much different from reading a book and answering the same questions. I use Kahoot, I like Kahoot (and other similar tools), I just don't think it is the gamification we are talking about.

as a teacher of french language, it is often to explain all the notions and the lessons . Students must be creators and they have to innocate their manners of learning by games , inter-debate, making researchs, ... and then i have to help them when they find them selve blocked or they are not be able to resolve such problem situation , just i help them and i never give them the solution .. This is my role as a teacher, to teach them ways to create. I am sure that play under pedagogical conditions will help in this direction.

Andrea, Serbia

2019-04-30 14:13:05 UTC

I am everywhere, where I am needed. My desk is in the corner of the classroom, but I don't sit there. At the beginning I am at the blackboard, but during the class I go where students need help or just watching their work.

Marijana, Croatia

2019-04-30 14:20:30 UTC

My pupils love to play a games and we often do that. First I need to explain games and rules. Later I walk in classroom and if is necessary I am helping kids with tasks.

Emilia/Romania

teacherro — 2019-04-30 14:26:35 UTC

Definitely my role as a teacher when the lesson is gamified is also changed.When introducing games , the teacher is a facilitator, an instructor who gives instructions, clarifies certain situations, mediates the collaboration, shows examples and can also be a partner or supporter -it depends on the type of game.

Vlatka, Croatia

2019-04-30 14:44:45 UTC

I think I am still often front of my students. When they work in groups then I just observe their work and help them when they need. If they present some results I am among other listeners and we assess the presentation together. Introducing games can help students to develop some skills and learn some rules or facts by themselves, so I think that in that case I dont need to be front of them so often in order to demonstrate or explain something to all of them.

António, Portugal

2019-04-30 14:47:34 UTC

I am just the trigger of events, allowing students to take control of what happens as I launch a question, problem or task to be accomplished. I stand back, allowing students to interact and only intervene if I detect that thing are getting off track. the feedback I give them is mainly student driven, or problem detection driven, as I see students are progressing and/or side-tracking from what the learning topic is. I believe that introducing games in my classes would change things, but only that little...

Dilajla, Croatia

2019-04-30 15:03:25 UTC

As I said, my students are allowed to choose for themselves. I usually sit between them, changing my spot. I think that games in my classes change things a lot.

Andreja, Croatia

adeasut — 2019-04-30 15:08:02 UTC

I am the one who introduces the new information and guide them through tasks. I also help them, sing and dance with them, jump ...
I am not always in front of the class, but probably more than I would like to.
I always tell my pupils that they are allowed to make a mistake and that those situations make us learn better and faster.
Games would definitively add more laugh and joy to the classroom.

Margaret, Poland

Veronica - Lleida - Spain

vupton — 2019-04-30 15:26:33 UTC

I sit dow more often that I would like because of the plugs. If I want to project them any presentation or site and I need my computer or chromebook, I need to plug in and the plug is only on one corner of the class, next to the whiteboard.
But apart from that, I compare my task as a teacher with a tourist guide. You show the best of your city/subject/project and encourage people/students to go deeper into it by offering them different activities adapted to all kind of travellers.
In our school project, we talk about teachers as sherpas leading our students to the top of the mountain, to the achievement of their goals.

Niamh, Ireland

2019-04-30 15:50:06 UTC

As I am working in Learning Support this year I'm not based in a classroom. I take small groups of students for literacy and numeracy. Sometimes I provide one on one support or in class support. This role has been a big change and has allowed me to be more flexible with providing 'fun' lessons. During the numeracy sessions my role is that of a facilitator. I use Scratch and code.org to enhance the pupils' problem solving and mathematical skills. For literacy I use readtheory.org, 'Into the Book', 'mystorybook.com', 'Read Write Think' to develop their comprehension & reading skills. I also use typing.com and typing club to introduce touch typing.
I float between my small room that seats 3 pupils, the computer room and classrooms. My feedback is immediate which I really like and which this role allows me the opportunity to provide.

Jelena, Croatia

2019-04-30 15:58:41 UTC

Because I work with SN students I am always in front of them, main time sitting as opposed to student. After giving them their tasks, I am circling around the class and giving and taking feedback. When we are talking about common theme (for all my students), I am sitting with them on the floor or in the circle, exchanging thoughts or ideas. Introducing games in my classroom were the best thing I did when I started to work. Games are part of every lesson.

Dace, Latvia

2019-04-30 16:02:09 UTC

Usually I offer to play new games, then I play with the students. If you play in pairs or in small groups, then I am a co-ordinator who helps you understand the rules, settle disputes or misunderstand. It is important for my pupils to get feedback on the final outcome of the game from me.

Ivana, Croatia

2019-04-30 16:47:42 UTC

My role depends on the activities or tasks I have to do with my students. I am coordinator who helps understand the rules.

Sandra, Barcelona

2019-04-30 17:41:07 UTC

It depends on the moment and the task. Sometimes I have the lead role when explaining what we are going to do. Then, once students are working as a cooperative group, my role is just supporting them. Also, the group is important.
My physcal position depends on the moment , giving an explanation I am in front of them at least for some minutes, then I move to one side giving some help or in cas of an argument.
Usually I provide positive feedback orally or written when chacking some activities using faces.
Depending on the group, playing games can work properly but in some other groups can be difficult because some students think it is time to misbehave.

Amelia De Chiara, Italy

amelia_dechiara — 2019-04-30 18:14:14 UTC

My role depends on the learning activities. I stand in front of my students when I have to introduce a new topic, also using blackboard or the interactive white borad. But I also move a lot through the classroom, giving feedbacks to students that are working in pairs or groups, or asking them questions to stimulate their reflection. I stand behind my students when they have to show their work to the rest of the class or when they play games like kahoot.

Martin, Slovakia

Silvija, Croatia

2019-04-30 18:31:15 UTC

I am aware that my teaching sytle has changed over the years and that I am trying to become more of a facilitator, and not a source of all the information my students need to learn. I like mingling with my students, when they work in groups or pairs I walk around and listen to them. I am always open to interaction with them. I provide feedback whenever I find it necessary or whenever they require me to give them feedback. I would like to be more skilled in using games in the classroom because I have noticed that my students are more enthisiastic to learn when it is done through games maybe because they are then more relaxed and at ease.

eylemgurkan — 2019-04-30 18:34:55 UTC

In the classroom, I'm in a more guiding position to my students. I give them the opportunity to try various ways to find and discover the challenges they face.
As my students try to find the error they can make themselves from the self, but at times they clog the guide and give them a little ticking.What is a pre-school education teacher in all parts of my game I've integrated the game to the whole class. Students learn to learn better with the game year is becoming permanent.

Iftime Magdalena-România

rotundumagda — 2019-04-30 18:43:22 UTC

The role of the teacher in the classroom depends on the purpose it proposes to achieve through its pedagogical action: observer, organizer, mediator, leader, tutor, evaluator, etc. At this moment, my role is to become one of the team members i have formed.That s why most of them are as close as possible to them. In the educational process, the teacher is the central figure for pupils and their attention is directed towards him. Stimulate pupils work through appreciation, encouragement of the efforts they make, recognition in real time of the knowledge gained through :stars, applause, etc,

Anne - Finland Where I am located in the classroom varies. When we start and finish the lesson or check some exercises together I’m in the front. But when the pupils are working on a task I walk around the classroom so that I can help the pupils or give feedback to them. I always try to provide positive or encouraging feedback. We do play games in the classroom as well, but if there were even more games in the classroom I would probably not stand in front of the class as much as I do now.

Kristina, Croatia

kristina_maratovic — 2019-04-30 19:12:04 UTC

I usually walk by classroom, help students in the work and give them advice. I often give feedback so I can explain what they are doing well and what they need to improve. I see myself as a guide or mentor who helps students find information. When I introduced the games to my classroom, students continue learn and receive feedback.

Daniela, Croatia

2019-04-30 19:30:00 UTC

It is difficult to answer this question because I am still student but I attend professional practice in school and I could imagine myself in clasroom. I am followed by Maria Montessories quote: "help me to help myself". I would like to be someone who gives courage, challenges to my students, who belevies in their abilities so they can insvestigate, learn by themselves. I am not the someone who learn them, I am someone who guide them to learn. Therefore the frontal education, from my opinion, is not good way to interact with your students. It should be active learning full of communication and fun but meaningfull tasks. Feedback is not something that helps onlyour students, but tachers too, to estimate which path should we (as a teacher) follow and what we have to improve. I think that in every lesson one should give feedback to students, it is the one of the ways that motivates them and help us.

Ivana Bašić, Croatia

ivanabasic70 — 2019-04-30 19:31:03 UTC

It all depends on the type of teaching I have that day. Often students have enough room for their own opinion. I mostly stand on my feet and listen carefully. As I explain, I stand in the middle of the student front to see me well and understand what I mean.

My position depends on the activity I'm doing. I'm usually in front of an interactive board. I often walk around the classroom and watch what students are doing on their computers, give them feedback or advice, if they need. I help students who need help.
I think if I introduce more games into the classroom, students will be more satisfied and more efficient.

My pupils are 5 years old. In the early days of the school year, I was in the center of everything (in every game, in every activity). At that times I was a leader. But now I'm watching them from the outside, and I encourage them when needed. Now I am a helper.

Jana, Croatia

jana_bosanac — 2019-04-30 20:04:45 UTC

I walk through the classroom, I sit at my piano, stand in front of the projector panel... It depends what tipe of activity we have. I interact with them giving them questions and leading their responces to conclusion. I give them things to analize, explore. Games can help them take more control of their learning.

Antonija, Croatia

2019-04-30 20:11:08 UTC

It depends on the activity. I'm trying to be a teacher who facilitates learning, bringing new tools into the classroom. We often change roles. If we do not change activities, our students become bored. Over time, it would become useless too. Every day I try to make changes to the classroom.

ilknur, Turkey

2019-04-30 20:42:36 UTC

I am a guide for learning and a leader of games in the classroom at the moment. I am effective and every corner of the classroom most of the time. I interact with my pupils with indoor games and we sometimes go out and play about the new subject. I provide them many kind of feedbacks last ten minutes of every lesson. I think any of this will change if I introduce games in my classroom.

Ida, Croatia

2019-04-30 21:15:13 UTC

In our school system (Croatia), frontal teaching still prevails. I try to be a guide. I focuse my students to get to solutions, I encourage them, I teach them to be independent and cooperative. I walk through the classroom, I stand in front of the blackboard and talk to them. Feedback is mostly oral, but I often write them also, for parents.

I think that games must be in school. Students would be more satisfied and the learning effect would be better, the teachers should be less engaged in the implementation of the activity. Games are important for kids, but also for adults. We need them in school to improve our education.

BARBARA, ITALY

barbara_callerani — 2019-04-30 21:24:44 UTC

In the classroom during the lesson I often find myself walking around the desks, which are not arranged in traditional lines, but in groups to facilitate cooperative learning. My school's method is for students to extrapolate the content of the lesson using the essential tools provided to them by the teacher. If I introduced gaming into the teaching method - which I sometimes did - I would have an amplified effect, where complacency would mix unconsciously with learning. I think it could be a winning marrow.

José María, Spain

josemaria_diazfuentes — 2019-04-30 21:45:19 UTC

It is not easy to explain because I have many subjects. However, I must admit that in most of them I am (above all) a mere transmitter of knowledge. Only in some cases I can implement research activities or also programmed games for some purpose. I hope to learn to do better in this regard.

Marina, Croatia

2019-04-30 22:15:12 UTC

During my classes I try not to stand in front of my students all the time. I roam around checking on my students progress and helping them. I encourage them to ask questions and to give feedback. I use games in my classroom since I started working in the school; they definitly change the way the students attend the class.

Paula, Spain

paulokagomez — 2019-04-30 22:31:41 UTC

In class I never stay still! In fact, I am afraid I fidget all the time. I move from table to table, helping my students to participate in the different tasks and making sure they don't lose track. I try that they get feedback from their peers, so they work a lot on their own. I just guide them when needed. However, it is lots of hard work.

Gulnara

2019-05-01 05:58:22 UTC

Teaching is a multifaceted profession, I am a role model, mentor, planner, facilitator and so on. I help my students learn how to use their knowledge and integrate it into their lives. Sometimes instead of giving diverse worksheets, tasks, practice problems, I design active, engaging learning experiences that build on student strengths and interests. I think the most successful learning occurs when I facilitate and activate learning. I design student-centered lessons and I support my students all the time , walk around the desks and try to assist them if they have difficulties. I give them written and oral feedback, assess and evaluate their abilities and encourage them. It does not change when we play games during the lesson.

Cristina,Sebes,Romania

cristina_cmpn — 2019-05-01 06:00:09 UTC

My role in the classroom depends the type of the lesson. I dont stay at the blackboard or in front of the map all the time. I like to move , to be near my students, to guide them if we have a project. It is difficult to make students to be focused and to keep them interested. We have many students in classes, from 28 to 32 or more, and it is hard to observ all of them . When it is possible, I include games as a feedback, like crosswords.

Margarita,Greece

margaritadakoronia5 — 2019-05-01 06:27:47 UTC

I try hard to find ways to lead my students to find the solution to their problems on their own.On some of the subjects which I teach i do a little intoduction to the new knowledge and after that with questions we find out the final solutions.Some other times with my questions my students make the conclusions.The game is a remarkable tool which I often use.

Helena, Croatia

helena_jilek_kubalek — 2019-05-01 06:48:18 UTC

I talk a lot with my students and I give them the tasks they need to solve on their own, but implementing games will increase their engagement and it will be more fun to them, for sure.

Diana, Italy

dianaclaudia67_dimario — 2019-05-01 07:39:33 UTC

When I present a new subject or objective I give only few input, then I give to children an activity to do. So they can find on themselves (by working alone or in group) the difficulties to which I want they pay attention. I walk among the children and I see what they are doing. I invite them to pay more attention to something. I follow them personally. I’m not in front of the class to speak and speak because this is not useful. When they play, when we do a game, I give them only few input. If, for example, they have to learn 8 words in English, I present these words by using flashcards and then we do a game such as “memory”. The first time we play they are not so much involved ( because they need a bit of time to understand the mechanism of the game), but immediately after they bring out all their desire to win and, if they want to win, they have to pay attention and learn quickly the 8 English words.

Dinka, Croatia

dinka_zulic1 — 2019-05-01 08:38:55 UTC

As a special education teacher in a small group of students (only 5 of them), I am always somewhere near them. I am in a direct interaction with each student. My feedback is direct, during the whole time, with words such as great, awesome, you did it well or do you need help, look again... or I incourage them with badges. Us I said, we use lot of games because games are never a bad idea.

Maja, Croatia

2019-05-01 08:48:48 UTC

I interact with my students a lot, sometimes it's frontal, but I tend to involve them a lot and most of the time they are the ones who do creative thinking, solving problems and working on projects. I do use games but not enough in my opinion because sometimes the time I have just doesn't allow it. I think games bring a lot of fun and laughter into the classroom, but, at the same time, students learn a lot as well and they do it in a fun way without even noticing.

Elsa, Portugal

2019-05-01 08:52:47 UTC

Well, it's treu that most of the time I'm in the front of the class. I usualy explain or introduce the content/vocabulary, but then the students practice some exercises by their own or sometimes in groups and I walk around the class for any help they may need. We also do some games, but usually I'm in control too. After seeing the videos I think things could be different.

Simona,Romania

ghenea626 — 2019-05-01 08:53:38 UTC

During the lesson, I often find myself walking around the desks, which are not arranged in traditional lines, but in groups to facilitate the work as a team. If I introduced gaming into the teaching method , I have feedbeek immediatley and I offer the same.I observe my students like to be between them when they work,they feel more confident and they dont give up.I think the mind of a student is not empty and we fill, we only must help him to choose what to put in his mind,we only facilitate.

Ankica, Croatia

ankica1403 — 2019-05-01 09:23:05 UTC

My position in the classroom depends on what type of lesson I am doing. Since I am a language teacher, a lot of the work is done in pairs or groups. I act as a facilitator. The feedback I provide is by asking them questions or giving hints in order for them to come up with the right solution. Another type of feedback is summative assessment - tests and oral examination. Games bring more formative assessment and less stress.

Mariachiara, Italy

m_giarnetti — 2019-05-01 09:30:09 UTC

I think I am considered as a strict teacher by my students mostly because that I want they respet rules. But at the same time, my students know that they can trust me and something new and funny is always coming. Generally speaking I would like to have a plentiful control of my class. But, as you know, when you use games, It is not always possible. I have to accept to loose control and let them the right to experiment.

Ivana, Croatia

stiglecivana — 2019-05-01 09:30:30 UTC

I think of my role as that of a facilitator. It depends a lot on the activity that we are doing. Sometimes I am in front, when they take over I sit in the back, I go around to help and guide them, sometimes I sit among them in the group.

Maja, Croatia

maja_eror2 — 2019-05-01 11:04:13 UTC

I often communicate with my students which helps us form a better relationship and mutual trust. Both parties (the students and me) work together to establish the classroom rules. Most of the activities are planned beforehand, however, we always leave some place for fun as well.

Alessandra, Italy

My role in the classroom is always different. It depends on the type of lesson. In some moments I am a " Resource Provider". I help my students by sharing instructional resources but when they are ready to work independently I became the " the facilitator of learning".
In the classroom, I go around to help children and give them some advices and sometimes I sit among them. I always interact with my students and I use to involve them during the lesson.

Mostly, I'm always around students. I don't teach so when I have a chance to work with students in different workshops and rarely regular classes, I try to make it interesting with different activities - puzzles, online quizzes, modified icebreakers or tasks with different activities where they can be creative.

I see myself as coordinator, facilitator and advisor. When I explain something, I stand in front of the students. When they are involved in pair or team work, I walk around facilitating the learning process, when needed giving advice... The feedback that I provide is mostly immediate. Games wouldn't change much as they are already incorporated in teaching in my classes.

I'd love to think my role in the classroom is always different. I try to change roles and this depends on the kind of activity we do. I think it is important that our students feel bewildered from time to time. Of course they can always count on me when it comes to providing resources but occasionally I like playing "the unreliable teacher" or "me, the student" (pretending to be one of them so one student should take over). However, most of the times I sit with them and get involved with them during the lesson.

I agree with many of you in that my role in the classroom varies depending on what we are doing. Sometimes I am in front of the class, teaching, drawing on the board, writing or facilitating a class game. At other times I am with the pupils monitoring, helping, participating, communicating, guiding or facilitating activities or projects either individually, in pairs or in small groups. In this way I ensure that they understand the task, and that they are fully engaged in their learning. Since I teach primary, I also try to provide immediate feedback in a constructive and caring way.

Andreea Goldschmidt, Romania

2019-05-01 13:37:39 UTC

My role in the classroom is that of : the coordinator, facilitator, source of resource, advisor. My role depends on the activity. I usually sit in front of the class, either in the right side or the left, but I move a lot during my classes, I go to the students' desks and sometimes I even sit where there is an empty desk, usually in the back of the class. My position in the classroom depends on the activity. I interact with the students a lot. when they are working in pairs, I pair with one student that is alone, or move around them and get close to them and help them with their activity. I usually give feedback at the end of the lessons, but when one student that isn't so good at my subject answers my lesson, I give immediate feedback. Maybe using more games in the classroom will bond us even more. and I would give them constant feedback.

moj_razred_novska1 — 2019-05-01 13:45:58 UTC

I have a working relationship with students. They often work in pairs or in a group, they are happy to explore and move a lot. We also communicate via digital collaboration tools. The game is often in our classroom.

2019-05-01 14:46:22 UTC

I am agree with you. I work in harmony with my students. I am their coordinator and friend, too. I apply in my classroom educatives games.

Natalia, Ukraine

wixengblog — 2019-05-01 14:51:37 UTC

It depends. Most of all I facilitate group or pairwork because we have classes of children with very different levels of English. Peer teaching, flipped classroom are far more better then authoritative mode

Elisa, Italy

2019-05-01 15:02:01 UTC

My role in the classroom depends on the activity sts need to develop. When I introduce new items I usually stay at the blackboard in front of them, otherwise I divide them in pairs or small groups: they work by themselves and I walk in the classroom checking and supporting their tasks.

Inese, Latvia

2019-05-01 15:10:44 UTC

Lara, Italy

lara_palmirotta — 2019-05-01 16:14:44 UTC

My role depends on the activities,which can be very different, but also on the school grade. I teach ESL in 8 classes and my pupils are from 5 to 11 years old, so I need to change my way of teaching also according to my students age. However, I usually walk around or sit near a group of children to stimulate active participation. I stand in front of the class when I present action songs or new games or activities. I try to act as a facilitator.

Esma, Croatia

At the beginning of a new activity, I introduce them in a few words to the thematic subjects, the objectives and examples on the computer. At the same time, students visualize on their computers and practice. When faced with difficulties or unclearness, I ask for my support, I am always among them. I am delighted when I see that the students overtake the teacher! What they are working on sends me emails to themselves.

When I introduce students with new content I mostly use frontal work and focus them on the board. But I also go round the classroom giving feedback to the students about their progress and guide the pupils who need it. I am aware that such a form of work needs to be changed and I believe that the game would contribute to the interest in teaching and to make the students more active. My classroom is not equipped with ICT equipment for every student, so I'm not able to do online games, but I'm confident that such games will give students more quick feedback.

Lara Rome

2019-05-01 18:09:32 UTC

I would like to be someone who could switch on the desire to learn and I hope I'm. In general I don't have a particular place where I'm located because I change place every time. I love having a good interaction with my students without loosing the control, using games I think sometime we could lose the control and probably this could be a bit dangerous but planing the game very well and giving rules to the students you can go over it

Manuela F., Portugal

manf511 — 2019-05-01 18:13:24 UTC

I always try to facilitate learning and stimulate students to be more active and to take the responsability for their own learning process even though there are many moments when I have to lead them and control the learning process. Usually I’m in front of the class but I go from table to table to have a look on what they are doing or to clarify some doubts. I always give them feedback on their work because it’s important for them to have the notion if they’re doing alright. I sometimes introduce games in my classes so I don’t think this process would change much. Neverthless we are always learning and I think that changing a teaching process is OK as long as the students feel they’re learning more and better.

The role of a teacher in school should be that of a facilitator. A teacher must act as a learner alongside of the child and let the child explore and discover things, meanwhile ensuring that the child is carefully guided around the topic. The teacher will be one who will encourage questions and nurture curiosity in a way that leads the child to engross in meaningful learning. I move from desk to desk, helping my students to participate in the different tasks and I encourage them to ask questions and to give feedback. I consider that some of this will change if I introduce games in my classroom.

Tatjana, Serbia

2019-05-01 18:28:56 UTC

In the classroom, I usually use different types of didactic games. In these games I am the most frequent organizer and I follow the way students play. and I help them if necessary. Didactic games have general game properties, but they contain intellectual activities to support intellectual development. A child is motivated in a spontaneous, creative way. In these games there are problems that the child can not or can partially solve on the basis of previously acquired experience. The forms and content of these games are partially dictated. The teacher has the role of the organizer. The game always has a task to be solved and the rules that children have to adhere to during the game. They form positive qualities such as patience and persistence.

2019-05-01 18:31:38 UTC

As the number of my students is really low, I can pay individual attention to them but my subjects require doing a lot of exercises and very often it becomes boring.

Introducing games could bring to us a new way to do exercises, boosting competition, interaction and a lot of motivation apart from a change that breaks the routine.

I try to provide both general feedback to everyone and specific feedback to each student invididually but sometimes this is difficult because of the number of students in the class.
I already use games as warmer, fillers or to teach or practice certain skill or area.

As a teacher, I try to reach the objectives with my students in many ways. I use an inclusive didactic and if sometimes it is necessary to have a frontal lesson, it is also true that it is immediatly followed by other activities which involve also those students who are less partecipative. For this reason I'm among them more than near my teacher's desk. I must say that my students are 7 and that's why I feel the need to involve them in games and activities that are more interesting for them.The feedback is positive and, even though my class is a bit noisy because they are all involved, it is also true that they like to come to school and discover new learnings.

I started teaching many years ago and I used different teaching methods and models such as teaching units, teaching modules, group work, by objectives, for skills with lectures, "arm" lessons, problem solving lessons, flipped classroom.I tried to keep myself updated as much as possible, especially using new technologies in the classroom. I believe that a good teacher, today, is someone who knows how to combine planning, programming, evaluation with motivation, animation, student gratification and class management activities; therefore, the way of presenting the topic, the use of verbal and non-verbal languages, the use of technological media, the type of work to be assigned to the students, the use of group dynamics activated in the class become very important expedients to achieve good learning results.

Games make teaching more fun and dynamic. Lara, Italy Lara, Italy My role depends on the activities,which can be very different, but also on the school grade. I teach ESL in 8 classes and my pupils are from 5 to 11 years old, so I need to change my way of teaching also according to my students age. However, I usually walk around or sit near a group of children to stimulate active participation. I stand in front of the class when I present action songs or new games or activities. I try to act as a facilitator. Patrizia Roma Patrizia Roma Patrizia Roma / Italy Patrizia Roma / Italy My role changes depending on the activity, I try to vary the lesson as much as possible because I think that even games, if repetitive, may become boring. Inese, Latvia Inese, Latvia I agree that the role of the teacher changes all the time. It can depend on the provided activity, time of the day, skill we try to acquire, even on the mood of my students. But I always try to stay positive, patient and supportive. Elisa, Italy Elisa, Italy My role in the classroom depends on the activity sts need to develop. When I introduce new items I usually stay at the blackboard in front of them, otherwise I divide them in pairs or small groups: they work by themselves and I walk in the classroom checking and supporting their tasks. Natalia, Ukraine Natalia, Ukraine It depends. Most of all I facilitate group or pairwork because we have classes of children with very different levels of English. Peer teaching, flipped classroom are far more better then authoritative mode I am agree with you I am agree with you. I work in harmony with my students. I am their coordinator and friend, too. I apply in my classroom educatives games. Ksenija, Croatia Ksenija, Croatia I have a working relationship with students. They often work in pairs or in a group, they are happy to explore and move a lot. We also communicate via digital collaboration tools. The game is often in our classroom. Andreea Goldschmidt, Romania Andreea Goldschmidt, Romania My role in the classroom is that of : the coordinator, facilitator, source of resource, advisor. My role depends on the activity. I usually sit in front of the class, either in the right side or the left, but I move a lot during my classes, I go to the students' desks and sometimes I even sit where there is an empty desk, usually in the back of the class. My position in the classroom depends on the activity. I interact with the students a lot. when they are working in pairs, I pair with one student that is alone, or move around them and get close to them and help them with their activity. I usually give feedback at the end of the lessons, but when one student that isn't so good at my subject answers my lesson, I give immediate feedback. Maybe using more games in the classroom will bond us even more. and I would give them constant feedback. Melinda, Croatia Melinda, Croatia I agree with many of you in that my role in the classroom varies depending on what we are doing. Sometimes I am in front of the class, teaching, drawing on the board, writing or facilitating a class game. At other times I am with the pupils monitoring, helping, participating, communicating, guiding or facilitating activities or projects either individually, in pairs or in small groups. In this way I ensure that they understand the task, and that they are fully engaged in their learning. Since I teach primary, I also try to provide immediate feedback in a constructive and caring way. Laura, Spain Laura, Spain I'd love to think my role in the classroom is always different. I try to change roles and this depends on the kind of activity we do. I think it is important that our students feel bewildered from time to time. Of course they can always count on me when it comes to providing resources but occasionally I like playing "the unreliable teacher" or "me, the student" (pretending to be one of them so one student should take over). However, most of the times I sit with them and get involved with them during the lesson. Anastasia P., Greece Anastasia P., Greece I see myself as coordinator, facilitator and advisor. When I explain something, I stand in front of the students. When they are involved in pair or team work, I walk around facilitating the learning process, when needed giving advice... The feedback that I provide is mostly immediate. Games wouldn't change much as they are already incorporated in teaching in my classes. Josip, Croatia Josip, Croatia Mostly, I'm always around students. I don't teach so when I have a chance to work with students in different workshops and rarely regular classes, I try to make it interesting with different activities - puzzles, online quizzes, modified icebreakers or tasks with different activities where they can be creative. Alessandra, Italy Alessandra, Italy My role in the classroom is always different. It depends on the type of lesson. In some moments I am a " Resource Provider". I help my students by sharing instructional resources but when they are ready to work independently I became the " the facilitator of learning". In the classroom, I go around to help children and give them some advices and sometimes I sit among them. I always interact with my students and I use to involve them during the lesson. Maja, Croatia Maja, Croatia I often communicate with my students which helps us form a better relationship and mutual trust. Both parties (the students and me) work together to establish the classroom rules. Most of the activities are planned beforehand, however, we always leave some place for fun as well. Ivana, Croatia Ivana, Croatia I think of my role as that of a facilitator. It depends a lot on the activity that we are doing. Sometimes I am in front, when they take over I sit in the back, I go around to help and guide them, sometimes I sit among them in the group. Mariachiara, Italy Mariachiara, Italy I think I am considered as a strict teacher by my students mostly because that I want they respet rules. But at the same time, my students know that they can trust me and something new and funny is always coming. Generally speaking I would like to have a plentiful control of my class. But, as you know, when you use games, It is not always possible. I have to accept to loose control and let them the right to experiment. Ankica, Croatia Ankica, Croatia My position in the classroom depends on what type of lesson I am doing. Since I am a language teacher, a lot of the work is done in pairs or groups. I act as a facilitator. The feedback I provide is by asking them questions or giving hints in order for them to come up with the right solution. Another type of feedback is summative assessment - tests and oral examination. Games bring more formative assessment and less stress. Simona,Romania Simona,Romania During the lesson, I often find myself walking around the desks, which are not arranged in traditional lines, but in groups to facilitate the work as a team. If I introduced gaming into the teaching method , I have feedbeek immediatley and I offer the same.I observe my students like to be between them when they work,they feel more confident and they dont give up.I think the mind of a student is not empty and we fill, we only must help him to choose what to put in his mind,we only facilitate. Elsa, Portugal Elsa, Portugal Well, it's treu that most of the time I'm in the front of the class. I usualy explain or introduce the content/vocabulary, but then the students practice some exercises by their own or sometimes in groups and I walk around the class for any help they may need. We also do some games, but usually I'm in control too. After seeing the videos I think things could be different. Maja, Croatia Maja, Croatia I interact with my students a lot, sometimes it's frontal, but I tend to involve them a lot and most of the time they are the ones who do creative thinking, solving problems and working on projects. I do use games but not enough in my opinion because sometimes the time I have just doesn't allow it. I think games bring a lot of fun and laughter into the classroom, but, at the same time, students learn a lot as well and they do it in a fun way without even noticing. Dinka, Croatia Dinka, Croatia As a special education teacher in a small group of students (only 5 of them), I am always somewhere near them. I am in a direct interaction with each student. My feedback is direct, during the whole time, with words such as great, awesome, you did it well or do you need help, look again... or I incourage them with badges. Us I said, we use lot of games because games are never a bad idea. Diana, Italy Diana, Italy When I present a new subject or objective I give only few input, then I give to children an activity to do. So they can find on themselves (by working alone or in group) the difficulties to which I want they pay attention. I walk among the children and I see what they are doing. I invite them to pay more attention to something. I follow them personally. I’m not in front of the class to speak and speak because this is not useful. When they play, when we do a game, I give them only few input. If, for example, they have to learn 8 words in English, I present these words by using flashcards and then we do a game such as “memory”. The first time we play they are not so much involved ( because they need a bit of time to understand the mechanism of the game), but immediately after they bring out all their desire to win and, if they want to win, they have to pay attention and learn quickly the 8 English words. Helena, Croatia Helena, Croatia I talk a lot with my students and I give them the tasks they need to solve on their own, but implementing games will increase their engagement and it will be more fun to them, for sure. Margarita,Greece Margarita,Greece I try hard to find ways to lead my students to find the solution to their problems on their own.On some of the subjects which I teach i do a little intoduction to the new knowledge and after that with questions we find out the final solutions.Some other times with my questions my students make the conclusions.The game is a remarkable tool which I often use. Cristina,Sebes,Romania Cristina,Sebes,Romania My role in the classroom depends the type of the lesson. I dont stay at the blackboard or in front of the map all the time. I like to move , to be near my students, to guide them if we have a project. It is difficult to make students to be focused and to keep them interested. We have many students in classes, from 28 to 32 or more, and it is hard to observ all of them . When it is possible, I include games as a feedback, like crosswords. Gulnara Gulnara Teaching is a multifaceted profession, I am a role model, mentor, planner, facilitator and so on. I help my students learn how to use their knowledge and integrate it into their lives. Sometimes instead of giving diverse worksheets, tasks, practice problems, I design active, engaging learning experiences that build on student strengths and interests. I think the most successful learning occurs when I facilitate and activate learning. I design student-centered lessons and I support my students all the time , walk around the desks and try to assist them if they have difficulties. I give them written and oral feedback, assess and evaluate their abilities and encourage them. It does not change when we play games during the lesson. Paula, Spain Paula, Spain In class I never stay still! In fact, I am afraid I fidget all the time. I move from table to table, helping my students to participate in the different tasks and making sure they don't lose track. I try that they get feedback from their peers, so they work a lot on their own. I just guide them when needed. However, it is lots of hard work. Marina, Croatia Marina, Croatia During my classes I try not to stand in front of my students all the time. I roam around checking on my students progress and helping them. I encourage them to ask questions and to give feedback. I use games in my classroom since I started working in the school; they definitly change the way the students attend the class. José María, Spain José María, Spain It is not easy to explain because I have many subjects. However, I must admit that in most of them I am (above all) a mere transmitter of knowledge. Only in some cases I can implement research activities or also programmed games for some purpose. I hope to learn to do better in this regard. BARBARA, ITALY BARBARA, ITALY In the classroom during the lesson I often find myself walking around the desks, which are not arranged in traditional lines, but in groups to facilitate cooperative learning. My school's method is for students to extrapolate the content of the lesson using the essential tools provided to them by the teacher. If I introduced gaming into the teaching method - which I sometimes did - I would have an amplified effect, where complacency would mix unconsciously with learning. I think it could be a winning marrow. Ida, Croatia Ida, Croatia In our school system (Croatia), frontal teaching still prevails. I try to be a guide. I focuse my students to get to solutions, I encourage them, I teach them to be independent and cooperative. I walk through the classroom, I stand in front of the blackboard and talk to them. Feedback is mostly oral, but I often write them also, for parents. I think that games must be in school. Students would be more satisfied and the learning effect would be better, the teachers should be less engaged in the implementation of the activity. Games are important for kids, but also for adults. We need them in school to improve our education. ilknur, Turkey ilknur, Turkey I am a guide for learning and a leader of games in the classroom at the moment. I am effective and every corner of the classroom most of the time. I interact with my pupils with indoor games and we sometimes go out and play about the new subject. I provide them many kind of feedbacks last ten minutes of every lesson. I think any of this will change if I introduce games in my classroom. Antonija, Croatia Antonija, Croatia It depends on the activity. I'm trying to be a teacher who facilitates learning, bringing new tools into the classroom. We often change roles. If we do not change activities, our students become bored. Over time, it would become useless too. Every day I try to make changes to the classroom. Jana, Croatia Jana, Croatia I walk through the classroom, I sit at my piano, stand in front of the projector panel... It depends what tipe of activity we have. I interact with them giving them questions and leading their responces to conclusion. I give them things to analize, explore. Games can help them take more control of their learning. Aysel Bakhishova, Azerbaijan Aysel Bakhishova, Azerbaijan My pupils are 5 years old. In the early days of the school year, I was in the center of everything (in every game, in every activity). At that times I was a leader. But now I'm watching them from the outside, and I encourage them when needed. Now I am a helper. Катар Катар Katarina, Serbia Katarina, Serbia My position depends on the activity I'm doing. I'm usually in front of an interactive board. I often walk around the classroom and watch what students are doing on their computers, give them feedback or advice, if they need. I help students who need help. I think if I introduce more games into the classroom, students will be more satisfied and more efficient. Ivana Bašić, Croatia Ivana Bašić, Croatia It all depends on the type of teaching I have that day. Often students have enough room for their own opinion. I mostly stand on my feet and listen carefully. As I explain, I stand in the middle of the student front to see me well and understand what I mean. Daniela, Croatia Daniela, Croatia It is difficult to answer this question because I am still student but I attend professional practice in school and I could imagine myself in clasroom. I am followed by Maria Montessories quote: "help me to help myself". I would like to be someone who gives courage, challenges to my students, who belevies in their abilities so they can insvestigate, learn by themselves. I am not the someone who learn them, I am someone who guide them to learn. Therefore the frontal education, from my opinion, is not good way to interact with your students. It should be active learning full of communication and fun but meaningfull tasks. Feedback is not something that helps onlyour students, but tachers too, to estimate which path should we (as a teacher) follow and what we have to improve. I think that in every lesson one should give feedback to students, it is the one of the ways that motivates them and help us. Kristina, Croatia Kristina, Croatia I usually walk by classroom, help students in the work and give them advice. I often give feedback so I can explain what they are doing well and what they need to improve. I see myself as a guide or mentor who helps students find information. When I introduced the games to my classroom, students continue learn and receive feedback. Katka, Slovakia Katka, Slovakia I try to transfer the main activity to my pupils during my lessons. I am only their guide, helpdesk :-) I try to give them feedback every lesson and we try play a lot of games, because students are more active if they do what they want. Anne - Finland Where I am located in the classroom varies. When we start and finish the lesson or check some exercises together I’m in the front. But when the pupils are working on a task I walk around the classroom so that I can help the pupils or give feedback to them. I always try to provide positive or encouraging feedback. We do play games in the classroom as well, but if there were even more games in the classroom I would probably not stand in front of the class as much as I do now.

Iftime Magdalena-România Iftime Magdalena-România The role of the teacher in the classroom depends on the purpose it proposes to achieve through its pedagogical action: observer, organizer, mediator, leader, tutor, evaluator, etc. At this moment, my role is to become one of the team members i have formed.That s why most of them are as close as possible to them. In the educational process, the teacher is the central figure for pupils and their attention is directed towards him. Stimulate pupils work through appreciation, encouragement of the efforts they make, recognition in real time of the knowledge gained through :stars, applause, etc, Eylem-TURKEY Eylem-TURKEY In the classroom, I'm in a more guiding position to my students. I give them the opportunity to try various ways to find and discover the challenges they face. As my students try to find the error they can make themselves from the self, but at times they clog the guide and give them a little ticking.What is a pre-school education teacher in all parts of my game I've integrated the game to the whole class. Students learn to learn better with the game year is becoming permanent. Silvija, Croatia Silvija, Croatia I am aware that my teaching sytle has changed over the years and that I am trying to become more of a facilitator, and not a source of all the information my students need to learn. I like mingling with my students, when they work in groups or pairs I walk around and listen to them. I am always open to interaction with them. I provide feedback whenever I find it necessary or whenever they require me to give them feedback. I would like to be more skilled in using games in the classroom because I have noticed that my students are more enthisiastic to learn when it is done through games maybe because they are then more relaxed and at ease. Fatma47, Fatma47, The lesson is more enjoyable when supported with games. I can feel it. Martin, Slovakia Martin, Slovakia I see myself as a guide or mentor, I walk through the students, give them feedback and advise, if they need. I am trying to teach through project based learning and games in my lessons. Learning by playing – it´s my vision. Amelia De Chiara, Italy Amelia De Chiara, Italy My role depends on the learning activities. I stand in front of my students when I have to introduce a new topic, also using blackboard or the interactive white borad. But I also move a lot through the classroom, giving feedbacks to students that are working in pairs or groups, or asking them questions to stimulate their reflection. I stand behind my students when they have to show their work to the rest of the class or when they play games like kahoot. Aslı Çelik,Turkey Aslı Çelik,Turkey I tried to arrange my classroom teach,ng experience more as a students-centered, but when it comes to giving feedback and evaluation time I am using mostly teacher centered themes. Daniela, Romania Daniela, Romania I see myself as a guide, providing them with resources, opportunities and guidance Sandra, Barcelona Sandra, Barcelona It depends on the moment and the task. Sometimes I have the lead role when explaining what we are going to do. Then, once students are working as a cooperative group, my role is just supporting them. Also, the group is important. My physcal position depends on the moment , giving an explanation I am in front of them at least for some minutes, then I move to one side giving some help or in cas of an argument. Usually I provide positive feedback orally or written when chacking some activities using faces. Depending on the group, playing games can work properly but in some other groups can be difficult because some students think it is time to misbehave. Ivana, Croatia Ivana, Croatia My role depends on the activities or tasks I have to do with my students. I am coordinator who helps understand the rules. Dace, Latvia Dace, Latvia Usually I offer to play new games, then I play with the students. If you play in pairs or in small groups, then I am a co-ordinator who helps you understand the rules, settle disputes or misunderstand. It is important for my pupils to get feedback on the final outcome of the game from me. Jelena, Croatia Jelena, Croatia Because I work with SN students I am always in front of them, main time sitting as opposed to student. After giving them their tasks, I am circling around the class and giving and taking feedback. When we are talking about common theme (for all my students), I am sitting with them on the floor or in the circle, exchanging thoughts or ideas. Introducing games in my classroom were the best thing I did when I started to work. Games are part of every lesson. Niamh, Ireland Niamh, Ireland As I am working in Learning Support this year I'm not based in a classroom. I take small groups of students for literacy and numeracy. Sometimes I provide one on one support or in class support. This role has been a big change and has allowed me to be more flexible with providing 'fun' lessons. During the numeracy sessions my role is that of a facilitator. I use Scratch and code.org to enhance the pupils' problem solving and mathematical skills. For literacy I use readtheory.org, 'Into the Book', 'mystorybook.com', 'Read Write Think' to develop their comprehension & reading skills. I also use typing.com and typing club to introduce touch typing. I float between my small room that seats 3 pupils, the computer room and classrooms. My feedback is immediate which I really like and which this role allows me the opportunity to provide. Veronica - Lleida - Spain Veronica - Lleida - Spain I sit dow more often that I would like because of the plugs. If I want to project them any presentation or site and I need my computer or chromebook, I need to plug in and the plug is only on one corner of the class, next to the whiteboard. But apart from that, I compare my task as a teacher with a tourist guide. You show the best of your city/subject/project and encourage people/students to go deeper into it by offering them different activities adapted to all kind of travellers. In our school project, we talk about teachers as sherpas leading our students to the top of the mountain, to the achievement of their goals. Margaret, Poland Margaret, Poland I'm more in front of the classroom than I want so I have to change something in my lessons. I think that introducing a game lesson once a week can be fun. Andreja, Croatia Andreja, Croatia I am the one who introduces the new information and guide them through tasks. I also help them, sing and dance with them, jump ... I am not always in front of the class, but probably more than I would like to. I always tell my pupils that they are allowed to make a mistake and that those situations make us learn better and faster. Games would definitively add more laugh and joy to the classroom. Dilajla, Croatia Dilajla, Croatia I see myself as a guide, providing them with resources, opportunities and guidance As I said, my students are allowed to choose for themselves. I usually sit between them, changing my spot. I think that games in my classes change things a lot. António, Portugal António, Portugal I am just the trigger of events, allowing students to take control of what happens as I launch a question, problem or task to be accomplished. I stand back, allowing students to interact and only intervene if I detect that thing are getting off track. the feedback I give them is mainly student driven, or problem detection driven, as I see students are progressing and/or side-tracking from what the learning topic is. I believe that introducing games in my classes would change things, but only that little... Vlatka, Croatia Vlatka, Croatia I think I am still often front of my students. When they work in groups then I just observe their work and help them when they need. If they present some results I am among other listeners and we assess the presentation together. Introducing games can help students to develop some skills and learn some rules or facts by themselves, so I think that in that case I dont need to be front of them so often in order to demonstrate or explain something to all of them. vasiliki, greece vasiliki, greece i walk through the students, give them feedback and advise. i would like to find a faster way to explain the activity or learn them to work in pairs/team more efficiently Hasan Turgay Özçelik-TURKEY Hasan Turgay Özçelik-TURKEY I usually try to: - provide support, empathy and inspiration - facilitate thinking, growth and engagement - generate classroom activities based off of understanding students - help my students feel safe to experiment and free from strict time constraints Katerina Katerina Greece i am trying for project based learning and adapting games for achieving my goals.Learning by playing.That;s the point! Emilia/Romania Emilia/Romania Definitely my role as a teacher when the lesson is gamified is also changed.When introducing games , the teacher is a facilitator, an instructor who gives instructions, clarifies certain situations, mediates the collaboration, shows examples and can also be a partner or supporter -it depends on the type of game. Marijana, Croatia Marijana, Croatia My pupils love to play a games and we often do that. First I need to explain games and rules. Later I walk in classroom and if is necessary I am helping kids with tasks. Andrea, Serbia Andrea, Serbia I am everywhere, where I am needed. My desk is in the corner of the classroom, but I don't sit there. At the beginning I am at the blackboard, but during the class I go where students need help or just watching their work. Zouhair Mahjoub Tunisia Zouhair Mahjoub Tunisia as a teacher of french language, it is often to explain all the notions and the lessons . Students must be creators and they have to innocate their manners of learning by games , inter-debate, making researchs, ... and then i have to help them when they find them selve blocked or they are not be able to resolve such problem situation , just i help them and i never give them the solution .. This is my role as a teacher, to teach them ways to create. I am sure that play under pedagogical conditions will help in this direction. Ildikó, Hungary Ildikó, Hungary When we play in the classroom (or outside), I am in the middle of the room until I describe the game, set the rules or distribute any tools they need but then, I either sit down waiting for the result - if the go out of the classroom - or go around and watch, listen, observe and fix problems, answer questions, sometimes take part. However, there are classes when we do not play. In this case I talk more, I correct, give feedback, and stand in front of the class mainly. Of course, Students may do pair or team activities but these are not games. I don't consider the Kahoot a game from this point of view, it is just a digital quiz which is more engaging, need some preparation as it is not in the book, but watching the board and answering questions it not much different from reading a book and answering the same questions. I use Kahoot, I like Kahoot (and other similar tools), I just don't think it is the gamification we are talking about. Rosa Italy Rosa Italy I let my students work together if they need my help I am there Valerica, Romania Valerica, Romania It depends on the activity. I try to be a modern teacher who faciliate learning, who brings new tools in the classroom to surprise students and make them active. Sometimes I play with them to show what to do. It is not easy, but if we do not have different roles in the classroom our students become bored and do not pay attention on what we what to teach them. Adelajda Arapaj, Albania Adelajda Arapaj, Albania I see myself as a role model. I try to be a facilitator of student learning and a creator of productive classroom environment Anthippi Harou (Greece) Anthippi Harou (Greece) I try to be a facilitator in my classroom by engaging my students in projects which allow them to take decisions, and to cooperate with each other through group work. During a class I like to move around from group to group and provide help whenever necessary. I always encourage my students on any effort they make. I like providing feedback on the spot, but as this is sometimes impossible for all of my students, I take notes and discuss problematic areas in subsequent lessons. I’m absolutely sure that if I adopted a more game-based approach to my instruction, my students would be more enthusiastic and more motivated to learn things which may now find boring. Eva López Sepúlveda, Spain Eva López Sepúlveda, Spain I am a PE teacher, so I am used to deal with games. I usually try to: 1. Introduce the game and some basic rules 2. Give them some skills like ingredients in a recipe 3. Move around to motivate them, introduce some new rules when things doesn´t work or new challenges to improve litle by litle. Nektarios, Greece Nektarios, Greece I usually try to: - provide support, empathy and inspiration - facilitate thinking, growth and engagement - generate classroom activities based off of understanding students - help my students feel safe to experiment and free from strict time constraints Gráinne Ireland-Resource Teacher Gráinne Ireland-Resource Teacher At present i am in a small classroom with not much room to move. I teach children with literacy difficulties. I use games to reinforce phonics and sight words but I haven't given much thought to using them for assessment for learning purposes. Normally as the room is very small I am seated. When I'm in a large classroom I am standing and walking. As many have said- For new topics normally at the top of the class but as the topic progresses I move around more. I would love to use more games in both situations. Marija, Croatia Marija, Croatia I am moderator of the learning process. My location depends on the type of the lesson. If we are doing something new, I usually stand in front of the pupils and explain material and if we are revising then I walk and approach to each pupil. Most of the time I provide constructive feedback to my pupils. Not sure, but definitely something to be considered. Zvonko, Serbia Zvonko, Serbia It depends on lesson. If we are dealing with new material, I usually stand in front of the pupils, otherwise, whenever I can, I walk in the classroom, even when we playing a kahoot quiz. Snjezana Snjezana I use games in individual ssesion ewith students and also in workshops with small group of students for developing different skills and knowledge. Snježana, Croatia Snježana, Croatia Games help me to motivate pupils, to interact with them, I like that kind of approach where i can play with them and make them more interested in the topic we are talking about...We often make posters, mind maps, use digital tools and other sources to make lesson more creative. Daniela Panajotova North Macedonia Daniela Panajotova North Macedonia Iam a pedagogue in school. Depending on my planned workshop, I use games so that I can get good feedback from students and also motivate them for good cooperation. Yaroslava, Ukraine Yaroslava, Ukraine I am trying to be facilitator and be among students all the lesson, I like to interact with students but if i need to explain new important information i stand in front of the class Inga, Latvia Inga, Latvia I am among the students most of the time. We do lots of practical things and play games, I like interacting with them, helping them, sharing with them, talking to them. And students like it, too. But because of my teaching methods I am sometimes considered an "incorrect" teacher by my colleagues and the school administration. Francesca, Italy Francesca, Italy My role depends on the activities or tasks I have to do with my students. Generally I stand in the middle of the class as facilitator of the learning process. I thing that if I would introduce games in my classroom I would improve my role as facilitator and moderator MONICA CIOBANU-ROMANIA MONICA CIOBANU-ROMANIA The game is the basic activity in kindergarten and includes all areas of activity, making the learning process attractive, engaging and easily assimilable by the child. The educator must be a creator. In their game as a partner, as a facilitator. Olivera Koteva , North Macedonia Olivera Koteva , North Macedonia From this academic year I work as a librarian and when I have workshops with students or a section depending on the methods and forms that I use such is my interaction with them. Of course, the use of games contributes to greater interaction and a better working atmosphere. Tamara Tamara If I have to explain something, then I'll probably stand in front of my students and close to the PC. But, when we play games or if the ss have to do the exercises I walk through the classroom, and if necessary, help my students. Not all the classes are the same - so I can interact with some classes more, and with some less, depending on their knowledge, topic, interest etc. Nadia, Romania Nadia, Romania As a teacher my role in classroom is to motivate students by trying to stimulate active student participation. Saša, Croatia Saša, Croatia I try to interact with students as much as possible, ask questions and make them think. Feedback is mainly through talking and also written in digital format where each student can follow his achievements. Games could help with the feedback but caution is needed not to overdo it. Susana Oliveira, Portugal Susana Oliveira, Portugal Normally I start by explaining the themes, I share the theoretical part by the various beginnings of classes. I explain the rules, the timing and the challenge. But my role is always to guide and "arbitrate" the unfolding of events. Daniela G, Romania Daniela G, Romania A small part of time I am in the front of classroom to explain something, or when we talk about something. In the most part of the time I am between the pupils to see how they solve the problems, to help them. Lidija Hatadi, Croatia Lidija Hatadi, Croatia It depends on the lesson where I am. If we are dealing with new material, I usually stand in front of the board so anyone can see me well, if I practice my work, I go to the classroom and help the students individually. Petra Kokeza, Croatia Petra Kokeza, Croatia I stand in front of my students, if I have to explain or write something on the board, and I usually walk around the classroom. We talk every day, so I have a good feedback from them. We are small school, and we know excellent every student. I think it would not change if I start introduce games in my classroom, because we also use games now. Ina, Croatia Ina, Croatia In kindergarten, however, it is a little different than in school, though it would be great for children to continue with such work at school. I offer children various didactic incentives for different development areas on the same subject so that everyone finds something in their interest. I use group and individual work. Sündüs, Turkey Sündüs, Turkey I'm in the place where the class can see me. But I don't usually stand in a certain place in the classroom. Between the students, I sit with them. Sometimes I watch them. Sometimes I help them work. I provide daily and weekly feedback. Danijela, Croatia Danijela, Croatia I stand in front of my students only if I have to explain or write something on the board, and I usually walk around the classroom. I don't think it will change if I introduced more games. Dilek,Turkey Dilek,Turkey I usually prefer to be in front of the students to have eye contact but when they need help or it is time to check their work I try to be close them or sometimes behind their desk to watch their group works During the games I try to be silent as much as I do and let them free to have fun but if there is a conflict with eachother then I just say" Be calm please"then they go on :) Liliana,Italy Liliana,Italy when I explain new topics I use the blackboard to let the students memorize the new words while they carry out the activities I observe them approaching to see if they have understood the exercise to be performed.

I don´t like to stay in the same place. I interact with them differently depending on the activity we are doing. Sometimes I guide them more and sometimes I am just there for them but as an observer. I am sure games would change the way we work in the classroom. Lucija, Croatia Lucija, Croatia I am in the front of classroom the most of the time, when I want to explain something, or when we talk about something.

During the day I usually sit next to the the student I support but I also interact with the other students sitting around the same desk. Most of the time I prompt the students to follow the teacher's instructions and support them during the activities as they are still young. When a new game is introduced I usually explain and show them how to play the game. Usually all the class play together and everyone take turns. In this way students learn from each other, while I can observe them. At the end I give them feedback and assure them that next time they can do better. Roberta, Italy Roberta, Italy I don't have a single role and location. Sometimes I stand opposite my students and I have to explain something.

Vânia, Portugal Vânia, Portugal When I introduce a new content, I’m in the center of attention and I usually like to walk around the classroom. I used to have an active role in the classroom and I interact through a variety of activities. I give them feedback by having conversations in group or individually. By introducing games the interaction would be more dinamic and take away my total control over the classroom.The feedback would be different, because if they fail they will try again and harder. Vesna,Serbia Vesna,Serbia I see myself as a teacher who is engaged all the time in the learning process. I walk through classroom when they are doing a task or a pair work, listen, help, monitor, I stand in fornt of the whiteboard when I introduce a new subject or a grammar point.

My classes interact with language and literature classes. In a school library the sating arrangements and the general atmosphere are different. I interact a lot with my students and I am mostly seated with them (on the floor, at the desk, etc.) and I am working and playing with them. I have a lot of workshops with my Librarian Group, where we create and learn. Anita, Cro Anita, Cro I am not in the class. I work with pupils who have learning disabilities, so we are usually "one on one/two". Mainly, I sit next to pupil and work with him through conversation, tasks, games...I tell them what is good, and what needs correction, and why.

After that I am a facilitator or monitor. Rebecca, Malta Rebecca, Malta I have a very active role in the classroom. Most of my day is spent interacting with the children. When I am explaining something I always have them gather around me so that they can focus on what I am saying. I use a lot of visuals for this as they are young. When doing activities with them I do them as whole class activities so that they encourage and help each other out if needed. I praise them all the time and if they do not achieve the goal I reassure them and encourage them to try again. Diana, Croatia Diana, Croatia When I introduce new content in the class I’m often standing in front of the class, and I’m in the center of attention. I still can let the control of this part. I try later in the classroom to change this with different teaching methods. The students have to work in teams or with a peer. I give my students feedback, but not very often. Games in the classroom could take away my total control over the classroom and they could see how much they know, because you need to have knowledge to come forward in a game. That’s also a kind of Feedback. In case they fail in the game they will try harder, than when I provide them with the same feedback. Sandra Mendes-Portugal Sandra Mendes-Portugal I try to have an active role in the classroom...I usually don't sit, I like to walk around the classroom and monitor stds. I interact with them through a variety of activities and I give them feedback by giving praise and by having conversations in group or individually in order to try to solve issues. By introducing games the interaction would be more dinamic and positive because usually stds like and engage while learning through games. Renée, Luxemburg Renée, Luxemburg In a few weeks I want to reintroduce a lot of project-based learning. I had already done this before and I really saw that the students are really engage; they are in the center of learning. They decide what they're interesting in. and where they want to focus on. I was more a coach; I gave them the context and help. But the main choices where their. They had really appreciate it. Mariana-Doinita Vechiu/Romania Mariana-Doinita Vechiu/Romania My role is teammate. Physically, they are part of their playgroup. We play everyday and feedback is based on symbols, verbal applause, applause. I do not think. Each game has its beautiful part if it is introduced when it is necessary . Iva, Croatia Iva, Croatia When explaining the assignment I am in front of the class, and when the students work on their assignments I walk arround the class and follow their work. Several times during my classess I give verbally feedback to the students, and after school I mostly give them written comments via Edmodo. Dragana, Serbia Dragana, Serbia At the beginning of the lesson, I am at the front, introducing the topic, brainstorming with students, letting them come up with the rules, etc. When I ask questions, I use pieces of paper with my students' names on them to call them out, and when they know the answer, I put a plus on their piece of paper. Gradually, I start walking round the classroom and monitor my students. Towards the end of the lesson, I move to the front again. Jasmina,Croatia Jasmina,Croatia I'm going to class and run a lot. Georges-Greece Georges-Greece Students must be creators. This is my role as a teacher, to teach them ways to create. I am sure that play under pedagogical conditions will help in this direction. Philippe Lépinard Philippe Lépinard I Always move in the whole class Jasna M., Croatia Jasna M., Croatia At the beginning I am in the front while explaining the task, then I move around the classroom or stand in the corner monitoring and moderating, at the end students play short games connected with the task to have a feedback of the lesson. Claudia Murelli Italy Claudia Murelli Italy In authentic tasks EAS I launch feedback where children build their learning through cooperative problem solving I am a director ... of a learning that children build themselves I intervene only as a feedback broker ... usually my feedbaks are few, children come to learning by reasoning Arif Soğukpınar, Turkey. Arif Soğukpınar, Turkey. I am everywhere in the class, I am positive towards the students most of the time. Leticia Gil, Spain Leticia Gil, Spain I usually try to do role playing activities with my students taking them part from the learning. Mirela, Croatia Mirela, Croatia I'm always among my pupils, because I like to see what they write, how they write or if the write. I'm trying to help them. I would like them to know they can ask me anything. Sofia Tsigara Sofia Tsigara I usually walk around the classroom, or sit next to my students and let them do all the talking Fiorella, Malta Fiorella, Malta At the moment I try my best to do a task and then go around the students. Sometimes during lessons I also sit at the back of the class and ask students to use the interactive board. Games are fun and they also set an encouraging atmosphere. Jesús, Spain Jesús, Spain I think one way to change the pace in my classroom is to do a small group activity. But what type of small group should I use? It depends on the size of my class, the length of time I have available, the physical features of the classroom and the nature of the group task. I also give them a chance to validate their ideas in a small group before mentioning them to the large group, which may help shy students feel more confident participating. I use oft learning teams too. Using learning teams eliminates the time it takes to organize students into groups each time I wish to use group work. Using learning teams eliminates the time I take to organize students into groups each time I wish to use group work. However, because students are working with each other over an extended time period, I must be very careful about how I assign them to groups. I have students submit data cards about themselves at the beginning of term. Nikolina Reder, Zagreb / Croatia Nikolina Reder, Zagreb / Croatia At the moment? I must admit it is mostly the front of the class, leading the way. But, when I have the chancce to prepare activities for self-directed learning, or game like activities there is nothing better but to stand back and watch the magic happen. Then I walk about, help where help is needed, or just listen in on what is happening. And how to know if it is working? When they say at the end of the lesson: The lesson is over? Already? :) Ivana Ž., Croatia Ivana Ž., Croatia I see myself as a director/moderator. At beginning of my class I am at the front (giving assignments), then I move to the side (while they work on their own), then I walk around the classroom to check on students work and give them feedback, at the end of the class I am at front again. I think games would change type of activities I give students, but my trajectory should stay the same.. Minodora, Romania Minodora, Romania Creative play takes two forms: a role play in which children perform certain real or imaginative social roles using toys or other objects or as a construction game in which children, with the necessary materials available, can recreate the approximate configuration of some objects, or they can make fancy joints. Marina, Zadar, Croatia Marina, Zadar, Croatia I think that introducing games in my classroom can make my teaching more interesting to them. Sandra, Croatia Sandra, Croatia I am very active trying to involve students as much as possible. Most of the time I stand or walk around but during pair or group work we all mingle or sit together in a circle. Using quiz, gap fill activities etc. are good for feedback. In future I plan to use them more because games are great fun and students are more engaged. Nurten Karakış,Turkey Nurten Karakış,Turkey I actually have a desk in the classroom, but I usually prefer to be with the students. Sometimes I don't have a place on the table sometimes with a student. I make short evaluations at the end of the course. I am getting feedback with various web 2.0 tools recently. For example, plickers Buta Ramona, Aiud-Romania Buta Ramona, Aiud-Romania I walk to the classroom. The games are verrz good to practice and be creative. Minodora , Romania Minodora , Romania They are involved in the game and the students learn less easily new notions. FLORINA POPESCU, ROMANIA FLORINA POPESCU, ROMANIA in the morning I stay down on he floor, with all my pupils, on Morning Circle. I visual interaction all the time, with all children.

Corina Voicu, Aiud-Romania Corina Voicu, Aiud-Romania I am in the front of the class, but I like to walk behind them all the time. I interact all the time with them by telling the lesson, a joke, a game. I interact with them. We talk all the time and have fun. I love whwn they said: It is the end of the lesson? When did the time go so fast? Maria Rita, Italy Maria Rita, Italy Whenever I have tried a form of gaming in the class, I had to change my physical position and move around my students. I must admit I sometimes have difficulties handling the louder and messy environment created by these activities. Juha, Finland Juha, Finland Usually at the beginning of the lesson we do some tasks together and during that time I'm at front. The rest I'm among students helping the groups with their tasks. Annamaria Ciocchetti Annamaria Ciocchetti Italy My role in the classroom is that of guide and facilitator. I think interaction is important through the continuius stimulation of opinions and ideas Emanuela, italy Emanuela, italy As a techer my role in classroom is my role is to guide students by trying to stimulate active student participation. Konstantina, Greece Konstantina, Greece As a teacher I am all over the class among my students and trying to gain their interest and to provoke their interaction in the class with questions and answers. The change with games will be the way of learning on their own way. Guntis, Latvia Guntis, Latvia The most common role I as a teacher play in the classroom is to teach knowledge. Checking success of activities in the classroom. Donatella, Italy Donatella, Italy At the moment, I see my role mostly as a "guide". This is my main aim in this moment. I generally stand in the front part of the class, never sitted down, and generally I move through the students working in pair or in small groups or alone. I encourage interactive stimulating opinion and ideas, giving continuous feed-back. All these way to work is very positive for learning also if very expensive . I think that introducing games may help in terms of efficiency. Ludmila, Moldova Ludmila, Moldova I find myself in an important moment. Explain the requirements, the rules of the game. Rukiye,TURKEY Rukiye,TURKEY As a teacher I am a part of a role play because I am not the same person in real life Mihaela, Romania Mihaela, Romania Depending on the game. When we play a game for the first time i am part of it. We play together. After that I am a facilitator or monitor. Nurcan,turkey Nurcan,turkey Elements such as interactions, feedback, and motivating elements of motivation are among the most powerful weapons of instructional design. When we consider the game concept in this respect, we can say that it contains the features we know to be effective in teaching methods. Cristina Antal, Romania Cristina Antal, Romania I want to know that I am everywhere in the classroom and the truth is we are playing all the time games that the children want to play just that we link the game to the week/day/lesson theme. Carmen (Spain) Carmen (Spain) I am usually monitoring their activity from a certain distance. They play gameboards or they speak in parís/small groups. I correct pronunciation and elicit them to speak. If they are doing monologues, I correct them when they have finished speaking. Ramona, România Ramona, România Physically, I walk between them, watching the time, their way of playing / answering. Most of the time they play in pairs. The back-up is always a positive one. Abia waits the next hour to play online games. Thus, the hour becomes more attractive, they are active, relaxed, especially because they do not get notes and learn through the game much faster. Lidija Antolić, Croatia Lidija Antolić, Croatia Lidija Antolić, Croatia Lidija Antolić, Croatia The most common role I as a teacher play in the classroom is to teach knowledge to children. I walk around in the classroom, write on the blackboard, sit at my desk when checking homework assignments. Children get oral and written feedback each day. The success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students knowing exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital when playing games as well as setting up activities. Sanja, Croatia Sanja, Croatia My role is to guide them, to make complicate things easier and clear, to support them and to give them feedback about their learning Eliana,Italy Eliana,Italy In class I often use cooperative work groups so most of the time they are packaged for students to answer questions and observe how the work is progressing. Emilija Emilija Most of the time i am in front of my students. I give them feedback in differently ways. I interact with my students live in the classroom or online at home. I should motivate and support them. Cucuianu M. Cucuianu M. My role in the student class is facilitator, coordinator, partner in education. At the moment, i try to be a facilitator, an assistant and also try to support my adults. Most of the time the classroom is in the my school but sometimes it is outside of the school. In this lessons i try that the adult develop their (writting) work, i with this intention i give some suggestions, i recomended some videos and/or documents about the theme. Another times i try to make some dynamics (some of those that our time learn in Erasmus last year). I'm hopping that with this course i continue to make more dinamics in the classroom and this way motiveted more the adults...

Alenka Miljević, Croatia Alenka Miljević, Croatia I don't have a fixed location in the classroom. It depends on what we're working on and on the lesson activities. I give them feedback in various ways: orally, written, with gestures, signs/stamps. I do use games so giving feedback with games is very useful because students are emotinally engaged so it can help them to remember more precisely what to do in order to "win" or gain more points for example. Neli, Romania Neli, Romania I give them guidence Cécile Cécile At the moment, my main task in the Classroom is to help students who need help. I feel a little frustrated because some students do always need help which does not allow me to help other students. Dušanka,Croatia Dušanka,Croatia My role in the classroom at the moment? I`m walking all over the classroom most of the time. I give them often feedback. I think that studing wouldn`t change a lot, but the children would be happier becouse they would have new games . lucy Italy lucy Italy children in general learn better when they are active. Games can provide a valuable learning experience in which the children practise and revise language only if they are carefully chosen, according to students’ styles of learning. Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece I usually do not have any specific location in the class, since I like wodering around children. I try to give them feedback as many times as possible, usually at the begging and the end of each teachning material. I believe that many of my ways will be changed when use games in the class AnitaS, Croatia AnitaS, Croatia A teacher should be many things: inspiring, a moderator, facilitator, motivator, assistant, support and interacting with students whenever necessary (sometimes it is good to stand back and let them try to find the solution on their own initially without butting in and giving them the answer). At the moment I walk around a lot during the lesson, never standing in one place (hardly ever sitting). Feedaback and discussion is an ongoing process every lesson. Alina, RomaniaDu Alina, Romania During the classes I try to be a facilitator, I am in the middle of of children and I try to answer their questions and let them to discover things, to interact each other. Through games teaching is easier but if they need help we have to get involved in their activity. Petrina, Albania Petrina, Albania During the execution of the game, as a teacher I am placed in the center of the pupils, at any time I try to stimulate the leader's feeling in the game, the game should be attractive to all the players. Zita, Lithuania Zita, Lithuania I goal is to reach a small kid. So my main job is to make him comfortable for open up. The main way is a game for me. And the feedback for me is how kid talks with me. Teacher Teacher Well as a sports teacher games (besides techniques and performance) are in the center of overall teaching specially if dealing with kids. The game drives the student to be in activity. I can imagine sports and digital thecnology combined (counting times, sequence colours, tatics management, etc). As a language school diretor dont need to write about the importance that games can take in a class, we all know it improves the language skills (the thinking process does not take a number 1 priority in the classes as we just want students to learn a language)

Zinaida, Bulgaria

zina_4 — 2019-05-02 09:47:47 UTC

When I teach normally, I'm in front of the students, and when they do the exercises, I'm behind them or to them. I monitor and control the work of the children. We talk and talk to the students. Every hour we have feedback. If we do games in class, everything will change.

Lidia, Ro

2019-05-02 10:07:50 UTC

My role depends on the activities or tasks I have to do with students, for example Scratch or Minecraft, where I sometimes play as a facilitator, instruct the students, mediate the collaboration, intervene wherever possible.

Sanja, Croatia

2019-05-02 10:17:45 UTC

In my class I am an educator, a friend, a shoulder to cry and everything that needs. What matters is that the kids love me, they come to school with a smile and therefore they love to learn.
I go to the classroom, I'm not always in front of them, they like to work in groups and couples. I do not like to impose authority but I want to respect me without fear.
They receive feedback on their learning through oral examination and after tests. Sometimes at the end of the class, they evaluate their knowledge through tables and then they evaluate how much they have learned about the lesson. I think if I put in more games that some material will be better, faster and better to remember.

Daniela B., Croatia

2019-05-02 10:20:30 UTC

I am lucky to work in a class with a few students. In our classroom there is a space for studying, for the group work and for playing. When I have to explain something new I usually find myself in front of the blackboard in other situations, I am usually always between my students. I have them all at hand, I can follow everyone's work without difficulty, correct them, motivate them and give them feedback. I think that introducing games in the classroom can certainly lead to improvement.

jacekfrancikowski3 — 2019-05-02 12:03:32 UTC

I am trying to be facilitator not speaker as much as it possible. I like when students work in groups and I can observe how they are talking ant trying to solve the task. Usualy I do not give them simple solution but I point them what is important, what shoud be check, what can be done better. I am using games in many occasions and and I try to make students active participants of the lecture. Thats why more games or gamification will not change drasticaly my form of interaction with students.

Nina, Croatia

nduj — 2019-05-02 12:31:42 UTC

Although the traditional definition describes a teacher as a possessor of the knowledge, everyone who has been fulfilling this role would say that a modern teacher has many different tasks: a moderator, a pedagogue, a psychologist, a transmitter of notions and an animator. The modern teacher does not 'serve' his students with facts, he guides them through the way of finding them themselves. Therefore, his role is dynamic, and so should be his location. When I am in the classroom, I prefer standing on my feet and walking through the tables, asking my students about their attitude towards the theme or their understanding of the mentioned notions. I also try to provoke discussions between my students. A feedback is very important tool in the process of learning so I try to provide it as often as possible (after every homework, exercise or schoolwork). I also try to collect the feedback from my students about my presentation of a theme. I think that introducing games in the classroom would increase student's motivation, but also give them an instant feedback about their work and their skills.

My role in the classroom is different than a teacher's. Thanks to my profession (pedagogue) I have a chance to work with students in different workshops, and also to introduce games in the classroom.

I'm all the time with them, and i provide feedback on regular basis.

Svjetlana, Croatia

67svjetlana — 2019-05-02 14:08:57 UTC

My role in the classroom is mostly affected by the type of activity I am conducting. In some cases I operate as a supervisor; sometimes I simply provide necessary information and I provide feedback and guidelines to ensure progress. I strongly believe that usage of games in everyday programme would be suitable for my pupils. This would give them the opportunity to connect with subjects easily and it would upgrade my abilities and knowledge.

Paola, Italy

paolapatriziavita — 2019-05-02 14:14:09 UTC

The roles I play in the classroom are different according to the step of the learning activity; I can be a facilitator, a teacher in the literal sense of the word, a supporter of even a student myself. Usually I do not sit down in a chair in from of the students but I go around the classroom, checking their works whether individual or in-group, trying to keep their attention and motivation always awake. I try to make my students feel comfortable and important and to create a positive climate. The feedback I provide aims at encouraging the students in their learning process and it focuses only on the task or performance, not about the individual learner. Playing games, including a role-play, is already part of my teaching methodology.

Ana, Croatia

2019-05-02 15:31:17 UTC

In my classroom I’m moderator, educator and friend. I’m preparing the material and the environment. Most of my time in classroom I spend on visiting students and assisting the students who need help. I have friendly relationship with my pupils, give them advice and focus on individual learning. I observe the needs of students as well as the emotions that appear trough the class. Except feedback from test or oral exams I often give my students
tables for self-assessment. Also, I give them a feedback in the form of praises or explain them what they have to learn more. I think that games in classroom can be very positive for the adoption of content and student progress.

Radu, Romania

It depends of lesson where I stand in classroom. If I'm explaining a new lesson I'm standing in front of my pupils so they can concentrate on what I'm saying and writing on a bord. When they get their tasks I walk around the classroom and help them individually. If they have some practical work in group I also walk around and sometimes sit down with them. I think that introducing more games in my classroom will make my class more interesting and the pupils will be more engaged.

MarijaK, Serbia

katanic_maja — 2019-05-02 16:29:56 UTC

When I am explaining I am standing in front of my pupils, when they are working on their task, I walk around the classroom. Usually I am correcting their tasks on the class and most of them have feedback right after the task is done. I have problem with pupils who don't want to be involved. I think games will help me with these pupils.

In relation to the needs collective activities are organized, in pairs or small groups, the child learns to be a helper, confidant, "teacher" with the same age. The child often learns by writing on the board. I repeat "LEARN": all this is not implicit. The teacher explains and helps. I personally, I'm never sitting in the chair; I often walk among the desks, or I sit on the chairs of the absent children, I try to control the tone of the voice and I try to act as a helper, I try to verify the learning with questions, schemes, oral activities before and after written and with activities in small groups before and after to individual activities. I am a physical education teacher, I strongly believe in the validity of the recreational activity for general learning. Often I apply a methodology: "School on the move"

I like to be a facilitator in class. When using games students become the centre of learning. They can learn from their mistakes and always feel motivated.I like providing feedback at the end of the lesson so they can learn from their mistakes.

In my classes my role changes according to the topic. I become educator, moderator. If I am teaching a new theme I stand in front of the whole sts, make them listen to my tips carefully and then I walk around them and controlling their works and what they are producing, I mean, what they are drawing, writing and coloring. If they work in groups, it is nice to see how they share together and control themselves. Sometimes I become their friend and we hop, dance, sing sings together which makes my classes so funny and interesting.

In my class sometimes I am at the front but what I really like is to be moving around and sitting next to the students to work in a more personalized way! If I used more games in the classroom maybe my students would benefit from them...Sometimes the problem is tome to explore apps, platforms and prepare the games!

Annika, Finland

annika_prinsen — 2019-05-02 18:04:15 UTC

In my class my role changes a lot even during one lesson. I start with figuring out what the students know about the topic (small whiteboards-me walking around giving some feedback and clues, or some kind of quiz) and then we discuss and I explain new things, during this part I'm standing in the front of the class. Then students start working and I walk around helping if they have problem.

When teaching something new, I usually am next to the projector presenting the new concept to the whole class. When students have to prepare something, be it a doc, a spreadsheet, a presentation, or a programme, I move around in the classroom, trying to help, to further explain an idea, to ask questions helping them understand what to do next

I like to be in class with the students. Using the games in the learning process can achieve the desired result much faster. During the game, the student often understands what to do next. the teacher quickly gets a reciprocal link. Games will definitely help you manage your lessons more effectively

My role in the classroom is that of an educator. when you have to enter a game first, explain the rules of the game and make sure they understand them

rules of the game themand make sure they understand through survey questions in order not to create problems. They must understand that there are winners and losers in a game. The need to be very careful about the rules. When communicating, to some storytelling texts, use group puzzles. Mathematics uses building games to teach geometric bodies.

Most of the time in the classroom I am walking among my students. During the lesson, I observe the students' reactions to the outcomes. With constant questions I check the student's understanding of the content. By introducing more games into teaching, the lessons will become more interesting to the students.

My role in classroom is to be a moderator of the activity, to lead students and support them to give the most that they can. Most of the time I am between the students , talking and controling their work. I often give my students feedback informations so they colud know on which level of knowledge they are. I think that by introducing games in classroom students would know immediately what they did right or wrong.

Tassos, Athens

goa56tk — 2019-05-02 18:46:49 UTC

- As a teacher I'm trying to have different roles such as: resources and knowledge provider, facilitator, supporter, coach, manager, moderator, learner, mentor, protector, role model (according to my role in my "scenario"! (lots of my students call me "coach")
- Usually among my students. I teach CS and the majority of the time spent among the teams,

-Interact? Usually positively!

-When needed I discuss with them, asking key questions. Of course there are times where I direct them to the suitable "answers"

-Introducing game... I imagine that I'll have more discussions with my students. It would be rather fun, more difficult for me to plan suitable scenarios/ worksheets, less efficient at obtaining the curriculum goals at a given time.

PS I think that it is easier to introduce games in after school meetings than in regular classes but I'm open to try (that's why I've enrolled in the MOOC)

Veselche, Macedonia

2019-05-02 18:49:22 UTC

I have different roles even during one lesson. Being a foreign language teacher, I am doing my best to encourage my students to speak more. I also know that students should feel free to express themselves. They will do so if they melt those mental blockages which are so much present when learning a foreign language. So, I am a facilitator, supporter, trying to involve everyone. Interaction prevails during the lessons, I usually walk along the aisles in the classroom because I have noticed through the years that students talk less that way, and I,up close,
observe every student's work.

Andreja, Croatia

j_andreja22 — 2019-05-02 18:53:45 UTC

I prefer to walk among my students, motivate them, encourage them to express themselves so I try to be a moderator and guide them and help them if necessary. The introduction of games will only increase the interaction between us.

Mário, Portugal

mariorelvas — 2019-05-02 18:59:12 UTC

How do you see your role?

I music classes my role varies with the activity: if we are rehearsing a song, this is a teacher-centred activity; on the opposite side, when students are composing in small groups I just observe and answer to questions, so this is a student-centred activity

Where are you physically located?

When teaching a new song or rehearsing, or presenting a new activity, I’m in front of the class and students are seated in semi-circle. During composing activities I place myself on the side and students are seated in groups of 3 or 5. When listening to music we are all seated in semi-circle so we can share our opinions, and when performing students are in front of the class and I am seated in the middle of the class.

How do I interact in the students?

When composing I’m a facilitator, when rehearsing I’m a conductor, when listening and performing I am part of the audience.

How often and what type of feedback do you provide them?

I believe in a pedagogy that goes from sound to symbol, and the best feedback is to demonstrate leaving explanations for later in the learning process. Of course in some activities students ask questions that need a verbal feedback. In those cases I try apply Vigotsky concept of scaffolding.

Any of this would change with game integration?

I do not think so, but hey… I’m just starting this course :)

When we starting the games I'm standing in front of the kids so that i can explain the rules, so that they can understand me. When they start the games, I'm walking around the classroom, I'm talking ( a lot!), controlling what are they doing. During the lessons I'm trying to have good interaction with them.

Iva, Croatia

iva_svenda — 2019-05-02 19:06:32 UTC

I change my place during the lesson. There are times when I'm in front of them, explaining something but most of the time I try to stand behind them and let them do their work and if they need me they can ask and I come to them.
When they finish their work I give them feedbacks but I encourage them to assess themselves based on the criteria they where given.
My goal is, as said in the text , to get pupils involved and in charge of their learning and I think games can help me with that.

I’m working in a computer lab. The students are working in teams (2 or 3 on each computer) I spend more or less 10-15 min to give instructions and then they are asked to do the activity. I’m moving from one group to other to check and give more explanations if needed. I try to make them understand that it’s ok to make errors and they must try different way to solve a problem. And of course learn to collaborate between them.

Aydan Akin,Turkey

2019-05-02 19:50:20 UTC

It depends on the activity students do.If it is necessarry to give info ,you face them and stand infront of the class.But if you are doing a team or group work then you have to change the positions, walk among them and check whether they need help or not.I give importance to face to face interaction in class and eye contact is necessary when they ask something.Some activities require feedback from the teacher but in some activities students evaluate each other's work so for feedback again ,it depends on the work you are doing.I mostly use games in my classes and games change the atmosphere of the class.I use some websites like quizizz to give them quiz exam.If you do it in a traditional way ,They dont want to take the exam.But when you use tech in your class and turn the activity into a game-like one, they chase you all along the school and ask you why they haven't taken a quiz exam yet . :)
this is what happens when you use games and they prefer your class to others.Because they are motivated, they learn better which is the aim of most teachers.

In thies case I periodically control what each students is doing and interact with them to let them explain how they resolved some problems...

CarlaQ, Portugal

carlaqribeiro — 2019-05-02 23:55:40 UTC

I try to decenter the learning from me as a teacher and try to use some principles of inverted classroom often using mini teachers, students that study a theme and teach them to the other kids using pedagogical materials to manipulate and facilitate their learning. Also trying to do more PBL.

When i´m explaining something I´m facing all the students and when they begin their work i Iike to walk around and see who needs guidance and orientation.

I like to give them affection and positive reinforcement and we have a saying “I want, I can, I will do it” I also use classdojo to reward students with good work, creativity, math genius, investigator, extra tasks, good behavior, ecologist, friend… and it works pretty good because they all like to see their points getting higher and higher.

Introducing more games to my classroom will motivate all students more, even those who sometimes get a bit disconnected.

I like to give them support and positive feedback (what is good, and what is not).

I can also sit by them when they need help with some issue. I always try to make my students active in their learning process, by giving feedback and motivation. I already use games but I think I have to improve the way I'm doing it.

My role in the semester is the role of facilitator and facilitator. Where I follow my students and offer them activities and do my work. About a quarter of the quota is for me and three-fourths of the lesson in which students practice their activities and learn. I also expect that if you enter the games into the classroom, this will reduce my turn and make the focus of the educational process. The student who learns himself and reaches the results through play and this will make the student more enjoy learning and makes him love learning and will become an entertainment for him.

My role in the classroom is changing, depending on the content we are doing and the needs of the student. Sometimes I just give directions, help and guide, and I'm not in the middle, sometimes I explain the new material and find myself in front of the student. I try to help my students to become independent and learn how to evaluate their results, to give them feedback regularly, but they themselves are often valued together. When it comes to playing in the classroom, the evaluation criteria are pre-arranged and the students self-evaluate the results.

So, I am in front of the pupil, next to them, between them. I provide different types of feed-back, an immediate one, using verbal appreciation, stickers, smiley faces. When we play games I am also a facilitator, explaining a game, and being sometimes a teammate.

Romana, Croatia

2019-05-03 14:53:48 UTC

My role in the class is variable. I have 2nd grade students and they still learn to learn. When we learn something new I want to see why they need it in life. I meet them with the facts they will learn, and they tell me what else they would like to learn about the topick. During learning often work in pairs or groups, they learn together and from each other. We use evaluation lists and self-assessment exercises. They are still small and I have to check what they are doing, but I believe they will eventually find out that they learn for themselves not for evaluation.

My role is different, it depends on the activity. But I admit that I try to control everything because our time is very short. But I know is so important to listen to the students and to let them take an active part of their learning. I try to listen everything they want to explain, because I can see they way of thinking. I never static in class, movement is a way to keep their focus. I am always asking every answer they give to me. In my opinion is totally different from the tradicional class. Roles, situation, goals, motivation...

I have different roles in the classroom. At the beginning I'm in front to greet my students, check if they have any questions from previous lessons and inform/instruct them about the activities we are about to develop. Once we start working (and depending on the goals) I move around the classroom, because I like my students to work in pairs or small groups (cooperation is a great help when you have almost 30 teenagers inside a classroom) and help by clarifying ideas, or prompting them to work. When they finish, they usually share their work with the rest of the class and discuss their answers, based on what they learned. I use a lot of ICT in class and I love listening to my students speaking English. I think games fit my classes like a glove.

afonstar — 2019-05-03 15:47:49 UTC

Well, given the specificity of my discipline, which occurs in large spaces and where there are no tables and chairs, I need to have a posture where I have students covered by my eye contact.
Depending on the situations, alternate between individual contact or work groups.
When students are doing the group exercises, I opt for a global class observation, to identify difficulties and progress, and then turn to individual feedback to reinforce learning and stimulate success.

As a language teacher, my classes are pretty interactive, my role is that of an organizer and facilitator as the students need to engage in activities that are a close to real situations as possible. It is also true that I teach grammar and vocabulary and in some cases I am more in control than I would like to. When using games I have to take a further step back and empower them, allow them to be more independent.

I strongly believe that if we introduce games into our classes , they definitely change and of course learning would be achieved.

Carme R., Spain

cromerodomenech — 2019-05-03 17:10:55 UTC

Some of my classes have a lot of disruptive students, so in this case I try not to be in front of them all the time, as it is not very effective. Since they need a lot of help to finish the tasks, I try to walk around the classroom as much as possible to pay attention to them, interact, provide them with feedback and also control their behaviour.
With games, students could become protagonists to a greater extent, they could also learn from each other (and not only from the teacher's feedback) and be more motivated.

At the moment I see myself as a moderator, well I’m trying to be a moderator, letting my students find answers. Depending on the lesson I can be located in different places In the classroom. If I’m presenting vocabulary or explaining something I’m in front of the class. But when students are doing activities, I always go around the class monitoring and giving guidance to my students. When they do a Show and Tell activity I usually deliver them a questionnaire at the end of the activity. This questionnaire is a kind of an evaluation of their performance (feedback). I think that if I introduce games more frequently in class, my position and role has to be more different. I’m ready to learn more!

I’m try to do my best, providing students with different opportunities to put into practice what they have just learned. Games are a great resource to apply this because students can actively participate without being afraid to fail; they can simply start over again after I give them some kind of positive reinforcement. In this way, I believe that students keep motivated and feel more confident to continue improving their performance.

But at math lessons I am standing in front of my students at the board talking about theory or making questions so the students make their own conclusions. When they do exercises I walk through the students.
At health care projects (eg about safety in the internet) my role is as a coordinator

kurtishak16 — 2019-05-04 08:38:14 UTC

The place in my class depends on the subject. If there is a group activity, I'm in a place that constantly controls groups. If you have individual events, I'm standing in a place of directing them. When interacting with students, I pay attention to their individual differences and characteristics. If I do not take this into account, I can adversely affect their learning processes. I usually do game activities in my class. I think this is a positive story to the learning process.

In my view, I work as a facilitator of learning since I attempt to make my students take an active role in their learning. Howerver, I consider that I have to improve some aspects of my teaching practices such as my physical location when teaching. I should be near the students and not in the teacher's desk. I definitely think that games are excellent tools to create a more comfortable and friendly environment in the classroom.

Teacher should be inspiring, supportive, moderator, facilitator, motivator, assistant - always interacting with students. It is sometime good to stand back and let pupils try to find the solution on their own. As an teacher of 7 year olds it is hardly possible for me to stand in one place more than minute. Sitting is out of question. I mostly play the role of an organizer. Feedback and discussion is an ongoing process for every lesson.

Most of the time I walk around the classroom helping students and explaining to them anything that they might find difficult or tricky. I always try to be supportive, to facilitate and motivate them. We play together, organize the class, jumping around and moving things so that we make the lesson more alive, understandable and playful. i strongly believe that the games make the lessons even more happy and enjoyable and help the students to take the leading role in the class, while I am just providing them with the proper guidelines to take the lessons 'on their own shoulders'.

I see myself as a facilitator, a mentor, an organizer, a provider, a prompter. usually I find myself among the students by guiding them. During the lesson I provide them feedback, by checking the answers and commenting to their works or I let students give feedback to each other"s work.

In my class I am the leader. I teach children by using chalk and board mostly. During the exercise I visit the students and check if they understand the tasks I have given them. Pupils are always free to ask me if something is unclear to them and I'm very glad to add that. In repetition classes I mostly use various games and the students are even more motivated to work.

Learning in my class usually started with some game wich is conection with theme of lesson.During the lesson I am a moderator and students are in interaction , very often they work in groups or pair. Feedback about how they understand the lessson I have through answers, quizz,Kahoot...

popalina21 — 2019-05-04 15:23:57 UTC

I think since 2 years, with teacher academy courses I changed my perspective in class. Usually I was the leader but from now I am a co-participant with the students in the class. I accept sometimes their free aproach of the themes that we are discussing ,and I am just an organisator in the class. I colaborate very well with my students. And when we aproached games they were totally different...more engaging,more interested in lessons.

I do not have a fixed place or role in the classroom. I think of myself as a facilitator, adapting my behaviour to students needs. I try to get my students out of their comfort zone, challenging and provoking them to improve themselves. I think "situational leadership" is the best description of my role in the class.

Snježana, CroatiaDuring the game I try to give good instruction, materials, and then to be at hand when the pupils need me to clarify the doubts. My kids like to fantasize and use it often.

I don't have my fixed place in the classroom. It depends on the activity we have. Sometimes I find myself next to the blackboard, sometimes I walk through the classroom to check what my are my pupils doing, sometimes I am included in the activity... I think teacher should be coordinator of the activities, should lead pupils through the activity to the final score and be ready for help if pupils need it. Pupils got the feedback in various ways: through conversation, grade, in written form, by self assesment...

Magda, Croatia

2019-05-04 17:21:28 UTC

I am facilitator in my classroom and I don't have fix place or role. Sometimes we change roles, so one of the students act as a teacher. We use reverse classroom where I give learning guidance and they have to explain and discuss new lesson.

Things changes when games are introduced in the classroom but only for the students

Danijela, Croatia

2019-05-04 17:47:04 UTC

I think I'm very friendly with my students, althought sometimes I have to be strong and pull strings. I'm usually in front of them (to be able to see them all), I walk through them or we all sit in a circle. Every their activity is well recognized. I have a list for every class and every student where I put pluses and minuses for well-done activities ot those who are not. We comment everything together. I let them evaluate the others, even myself. I talk with them about their progess ot things that must be improved. They can always see their own list of pluses and minuses (I also note their behavior by dates and at the end of a certain period I read them these notes). I tried with games a lot of times and I have to say that their reaction and participation were amazing.

Valentina, Croatia

2019-05-04 18:52:34 UTC

I try to appear friendly with my students, but with the current curriculum and books, I still play a role of an authoritative figure. I'm new to this job so I hope things change as I gain experience. I think games in classroom are the best way to fulfill the role of a student as the center of education. When they solve game tasks, it's all about them; they decide what to do, they organise themselves, and dictate the pace of the task, which is why I would love to add more games to my classroom.

2019-05-04 21:21:02 UTC

When I started to use the games in my classes, I used to interfere the process and I saw myself in the center of the games. But now my students get used to play on their own. I just help them feel comfortable.

Željana, Croatia

zpopic_1 — 2019-05-04 21:28:10 UTC

I have a great relationship with my students. At the begining of using the games in the classroom I felt comfortable and my students too. Now, thex use to play on their own and I think that"s great.

Suzana, Croatia

suzana_jagic — 2019-05-04 21:36:33 UTC

My role in the class I perceive it dynamic at this time. I can never sit in the chair. I prefer to move around the desks or change the arrangement of the desks of my students. In general, I always put myself in a sympathetic interaction to make everyone feel at ease. I like to joke with them and accept their jokes too. I always look for positive feedback and I verify every moment that they are listening to me because it is important for everyone to understand the lesson. In general, however, I always check that they have understood by making them do things "Learning by doing". I think the introduction of the game in teaching practice is very positive and effective for learning.

Ana Cristina Tendinha - Portugal

anatendinha — 2019-05-04 21:49:55 UTC

I think my performance has improved a lot compared to the past. However, I think we can always do more and better.
Throughout the class I usually circulate around the room supporting groups of students and students with more difficulties.
I help my students develop learning by discovery. I believe that by learning to learn, they carry out more meaningful learning.
I often give them regular information about their performance: what they have achieved; what they need to improve; what strategies should they apply to overcome the difficulties they still face, ...
I often use games to promote learning. Of course, the enthusiasm and motivation of the students is greater.

Anna, Poland

2019-05-04 22:10:31 UTC

My aim is to become 100% facilitator of learning in the most efficent, friendly and... invisible way:) I do want my students to think and be creative, both in groups and individually. As for my "location' I
never sit still, I keep moving around, I love discussing different issues with my students, we keep arguing a lot;)

Most of the time I am at the center of the classroom. I am trying to change that, by doing various collaborative work, pbl, and sometimes gamification. The teaching process is significantly changing by bringing games into classroom

Sandra, Latvia

2019-05-05 06:19:15 UTC

Right now I'm mostly at the front of the classroom. I do move around a lot, explaining and helping students, but my primary position is still by the blackboard. I'm a traditionalist, and I've always been schooled this way. But I would like to change my attitude towards the teacher's role in learning. Maybe I can change students' attitude and my own perception of "class" and "learning" by introducing games into the learning process.

Vasile , Turkiye

2019-05-05 08:10:05 UTC

I work with special students so I try to be more motivating. Every child needs a guide to learn better and I try to be their good model in the classroom. I plan the lesson and let them learn. I mostlywalk around and motivate, help them when necessary. They have the all vocabulary and I help them prepare games, solve puzzles and challenge me in the class.
In my other schools, I usually teach in front of the class and let them do the exercises. I monitor them while doing exercises. When they finish the activity earlier, they help each other. I just check them if they are doing right or are there any mistakes to be corrected. I mostly teach in front of the class for about 10 minutes and let them work together for the rest of the lesson. They do activitues and we play games on the board.

When I introduce an acrivity I am at the front of the class. Then I usually walk around in order to encourage students to do their activity and help them.
Students usually call me to check their progress or to ask questions about how to progress.
Introducing gamification in the class will probably help students cooperate with each other, make them more creative and thinking more for themselves

Erika Jabato, Spain

2019-05-05 10:46:08 UTC

Most of the time I'm standing and moving around the tables, however, I spend some time sat. The tables in the classroom are organised in groups so it's easy to move around, observe what students do and interact with them. When they ask for feedback, if I think that a peer could answer the question, I tell them to ask the question to the others. I think it will be best understood if another kid gives the explanation.
When some of them understand what is being explained, then they become "teachers" and they get this role. They feel super confident and the others don't hesitate to ask them what they don't understand.
Gamification would get everybody confident to play, therefore, they would learn without being conscious.

Nuria, Spain

2019-05-05 10:47:38 UTC

I'm always standing and depending on the activity, circulating to monitor. I think most of us play different roles in every classroom.
If students are working in pairs/small groups, I sometimes provide feedback to them right away if it's needed. I usually do a wrap-up activity about the feedback that the whole class needs.
When introducing games in the classroom, I think that our roles as planners is really important. We must know what we want the students to do, what the procedures are and the goals. Instructions have to be really clear for a successful lesson.

2019-05-05 10:59:09 UTC

I am in various places depending on the type of activity, in front of the board, with computer, sitting in the game, in a circle.

Auli H, Finland

2019-05-05 11:20:56 UTC

I'm often at my desk in front of the classroom (operating the video projector, my laptop or the CD player), sometimes I circulate around listening to the pupils doing their exercises (and helping IF really needed). When I give them games or group work, I can just be "invisible" anywhere in the classroom watching them work and they do it fine without "teaching". Sometimes I help a weaker pupil to succeed.
I give feedback continuously by positive response to their answers and work like "Yes, very good", "Well done", "That's nice." "You have also drawn nice pictures there." etc. In written texts they get also something positive written shortly, and smileys. Sometimes the pupils evaluate each other's work by finding good things in the work. After games some pupils have collected more points than others. I encourage also those with fewer points of having played well and reminding about the role of "luck" in the game. For primary school children losing is sometimes hard.

VIORICA BANCIU from Romania,

2019-05-05 12:19:42 UTC

With primary students classes are dynamic, otherwise the get bored so I am always prepared to move among them, use role-play. I like to act so when things are alittle difficult - grammar- I use jokes, contests and sometimes SIMON SAYS, the game that helped me to learn English easier. The feedback is always positive and help weaker students to catch up with the others

Yvonni, Greece

2019-05-05 12:21:11 UTC

Where I am standing and how I communicate and give feedback depend on the activity. I very rarely sit on my chair. I'm usually standing in front of the black board or I am circulating among the students. My lessons usually include a lot of discussions and experimenting (I teach science and mathematics). We have introduced board games in order to teach mathematics in our school. When we do that I usually circulate among the teams and I help them understand better or solve their problems.

Mostly I stand in front of the class, giving resources or directions, this is only for the beginning of the lesson, first part. The second part I used to go around the class and give assistance to students who need it. Gamification of the lessons for sure will change this attitude.

Sarah Mallia, Malta

2019-05-05 12:52:35 UTC

At the moment I use games and after I explain the activity, I ask the students to come up with answers however I am still physically located infront and would like to go round the students more often.

Christine, Germany

parbey — 2019-05-05 12:58:31 UTC

Most of the time I am sitting behind the pupil, speaking with one pupil about bis oder her position in learning. If we have to speak as whole class, we use to build a stand-up-circle. It’s not very often that I‘m standing in front of the class. The students give sample of their work each week so I can give a feedback. They write learning diarys, too. So I get a feedback about their learning.
So if I would impliment more gamification in my classroom, I wouldn‘t change a lot my physically location. But I hope by changing the type of problem or the setting of work a little bit, it opens the minds of my pupil for more creativity.

Most of time I am standing in front of the class, or I am moving between the desks. When we are playing I stand in the circle with my class, or on the floor. I offer them feedback all the time, when I think is important. I consider, that I could use much more games in the future...

Agni Pachouli, Greece

2019-05-05 13:49:39 UTC

Moje mjesto u razredu je većinom među učenicima, kružeći oko stolova, jer na taj način najlakše komuniciramo. Učionica je složena u obliku slova U. Kada se igramo mijenjamo izgled razreda ovisno o zahtjevima igre. U svakom slučaju, prije korištenja igre, dobro isplaniram ishode i što će učenici naučiti.

Magdalena, Poland

2019-05-05 14:57:42 UTC

In the class I am more a friend to play with and somebody who is giving a helping hand when it is needed. Most of the time I spent among my students. By their tables, on the carpet, on the little chairs. I am often their team mate when we play the games. I am trying always to be around. It is a rare situation to find me sitting by my desk. Preschool teachers often spend the time with the students. Giving feeddback is not so easy -especially that they are on the verge of building their self cofidence and selr-esteem. I would say through games they would learn how to take the critics and failure in an easy way since often they are so emtionally bonded with me.

Tanja T., Croatia

2019-05-05 15:02:23 UTC

I am walking around the classroom for the most of the lesson, but sometimes I do stand in front of the class. I take a role of a presenter and try to guide my pupils through learning process, and I help them learn how to use their knowledge and integrate it into their lives. I give feedback in different ways; in form of a grade (usually monthly), peer feedback, by talking with my pupils and by supervising their work throughout the year and by recording their progress. I hope that I will use games more after this course and I hope that some of my pupils will change their attitude to learning by doing this.

Jasna, Croatia

jasnamataija — 2019-05-05 15:36:28 UTC

I very rarely sit at the desk. If I'm not at the blackboard, I spend most of the time monitoring their progress by walking among the desks. The feedback I provide os instant, usually in the form of examples for their mistakes or the desired structures. If there are role-play activities, I eavesdrop a bit, and then give the entire class some observation conclusions. There should be more such activities, but the tight schedule often doesn't allow much creativity.

Franka, Croatia

2019-05-05 16:07:03 UTC

I still studying at the faculty so we had practice in February. Than I was in a situation to hold one school lesson in the second grade. I often walked near the pupils during class, noticed their progress and behavior during the class, answered their questions, talked to them, and tried to encourage them to think independently, solve tasks, and work in teams (if they had to work together). Also, I gave then feedback, if they can do something better and more to motivate them, they always got positive feedback and instructions if they do something wrong. I think pupils will be more interlinked mutually and with teaching content by introducing games into the classroom.

Ildiko, Hungary

2019-05-05 16:16:33 UTC

Most of the time I am mooving continuously among separate activity centers. I am preparing the activity, provide the tools, giving the rules. Often I encourage them to find new ways of playing and agree on different rules. I continuously observe them and give new challanges or new point of view if they get stuck.

My role in the classroom is to teach students the knowledge that encourages them to actively participate in the teaching process, to be independent when needed, to help each other, to have their own opinion or to accept others.
In the classroom I spend most of my time in different places: in front of the student, among them, sideways, with them in the circle, etc.
Feedback is everyday and the game is everyday in my class.

I'm always standing in the middle of the class, since my students are sit forming a U. I normally move around the class and depending on the activity I play different roles. If students work in pairs or individually I try to help them and
provide feedback.
When introducing games or any actities in the classroom, I am a planner since thinking ahead and have everythin planned is really important. Students need to know what the objectives are, what procedures should be followed so that the actitiy is sucessful and they have the feeling they are doing it right.
Some other times I have to play the role of assessor, when an actitity ends and we evaluate how it turned out.

We can easily see each of us and therefore have quality discussions. We often sit on cushions on the floor and have a little chat or we play a game.
I open a topic and let them speak as much as possible.
I try to give them a lot of feedback. They need it and feel more safe when heading the right track.

Actually I see my role in my classes as a facilitator.
Most of the time I stand in front of my students, who are sitted at their desks, organized in couple.
I always interact with my students asking them questions, waiting for their answers. We discuss together on the answer and every time I ask them "Why?". Sometimes I let them explain again something in other ways.
As feedback I say "Good idea!", "Well done!", "Match you idea with the idea of your nighbor!", "Try again ;)".
If I indroduce more games in my class I hope to have more team-games, then more groups of students "working" together, without feel so stressed about failture.

If I want them to be creative and to findout something new and make some conclusions I try to be invisible. If I see they some of them are boring I try to make some jokes. If they are on the "good way" I encourage them and if they are not I gave them some tips and feedback.

I walk around monitoring the activities for about 90% of the time, especially after I have outlined the activities. I rarely sit down.

The games use them whenever I have the opportunity and I see that students are interested, but also understand better the lessons taught. At all mathematics, language, geography, drawing, music, I use the games. Playing lessons are dead. Games are their charm. The child gets more involved and communicates easily. The success of a lesson is when you relate the notions transmitted with pleasant and useful activities.

I see myself as a guide, I try to move around individual groups, helping to resolve doubts and trying to provide motivation when it's needed. Apart from classroom contact, students can also take advantage of Moodle to ask questions and upload files outside of school hours. Feedback usually takes the form of self assessment, evaluation rubrics and co-evaluation.

No matters how close i try to be to my students for them i stay the TEACHER. So games make them feel more confident and time passes well and quickly.

Well... seeing ones role and being able to actually follow a vision are two different things. As much as possible I try to avoid giving my students ready answer to the task or questions encouraging them to look for them themselves. It doesn't work sometimes. I move around the class. quite a lot, supervising team work for example. Most of the time I give them feedback at the time being though when it comes to written task or projects I give a written comment and if there are any questions I am trying to answer them. I suppose intorducing gamification causes that education is less formal and it should help students to change their approach as they often think they learn things mainly because they have to, not because they want to.

As my lesson is physical education, I always try to bring fun games for exercising. Especially in the first grades we do games for improving their physical tolerance,their speed.their reaction in an audiovisual impulse. From 4rth to 6th grade where we teach some of the basic team games as basketball,handball, football,volleyball and I must explain rules or most difficult skills I use spesific games for improving these drills. The children enjoy the lesson and not only they have fun but also they learn and they are working out.

At the beginning of each school year I create rules with students that are highlighted on the wall of our classroom. For the time of class I usually stand. During group work or other activities, I approach students, help them, I direct ...
If I use digital games, we agree on the rules regarding the use of technology and how to show emotions.Most of time I give them a feedback .Some games like Kahoot! have feedback.

Tatjana, Croatia

My role is often a bigger than it should be because may students is often too lazy to explore by himself. They often wait to see how something is done. I talk to them all the time, walking through hole classroom, looking in their notebook. The situations and their motivations is changes when we do the same thing using some games or quiz.

Natasha, North Macedonia

2019-05-06 17:00:08 UTC

My role in the classroom changes depending on the topic, the activities and the objectives.
I usually move through the classroom and among the students monitoring and supervising their work, providing guidance or help when and if necessary. And most of the time I give feedback to my students.

Joris, Belgium

vanmeerdb — 2019-05-06 17:20:08 UTC

My place in a classroom is between the students. Walking through the classroom and interacting with them.
During STEM and Science lessons students work in small groups, building the results together. This in fact is related to the game-concept. My task as a teacher is to guide them towards the results. Results that are most of the time based on the small individual curriculum steps the students make. Results depend on the choices the students make.

Mira, Croatia

miratopic2802 — 2019-05-06 18:29:27 UTC

My role in the classroom is to encourage students to became curious, creative... I am physically located most of the time infront of them and walking between them, helping, checking... I try to give them feedback after every lecture. I usually tell them or show them short note. Introducing games into the classroom would increase creativity and motivation.

Irene, Spain

2019-05-06 19:32:21 UTC

I think that my role in the classroom could change. I am by everywhere in the classroom trying helping at all students to solve the problem by themselves, I interact with them all time. They often do feedback because they correct their works. I think that introduce games in my classroom would improve the lessons.

Tiago, Portugal

2019-05-06 20:39:59 UTC

I wor
k essentially with projects, my role in the classroom at the moment was like a facilitator but I think I tend to give a lot of effort in the information and giving the students all the information and I think I have to give them more freedom to error and explore their own creativity and ideas. I face some difficult to give a significant feedback to all the groups and all the students.

Introducing games, the feedback is almost immediate, and the student have all the possibilities to explore and gain autonomy.

Cristiana, Romania

2019-05-06 21:05:20 UTC

Being a teacher educator, my role is indeed that of a facilitator and of a mentor. Whenever possible, in f2f contexts, I arrange the chairs or the desks in a U shape or in small groups.

Tonka, Croatia

tonka_brailo — 2019-05-06 22:31:44 UTC

I try to be a moderator in the learning process. I often change the way students are sitting in a classroom: in pairs, four, six, circles ... I try to be as much as possible among the students, direct them to work, and talk to a student instead of speaking to the whole class. I try to give feedback to learners more often through formative evaluation: evaluation lists, self-assessment. I think that by introducing the game into everyday learning, the students become more motivated to acquire new knowledge, skills, and competencies, and the teaching process will become even more meaningful.

Mate, Croatia

2019-05-07 08:41:37 UTC

I see my role in the classroom as a guide who helps students enter new territories and explore them. Most of the time I walk around the classroom and interact with the students, often addressing the whole class, not just the student I'm next to at the moment. I often provide feedback and I try to do it in a way that won't discourage the students, and I offer guidance when I think a student is struggling to continue on his/her own with a certain task.

cmn, Austria

2019-05-07 09:54:19 UTC

The role in the classroom depends on multiple factors. Sometimes it is necessary to be the one who gives the input standing in front of the classroom. Sometimes it is necessary to combine different teaching roles. Sometimes it is not possible to walk around the classroom a lot because the room design is not made for that. As often as it is possible constructive feedback should be given. Even for little steps - in my opinion. Maybe introducing different forms of games in teaching adults might help to get in touch with the group easier and install a better learning atmosphere.

2019-05-07 10:00:34 UTC

Most of the time I move around the classroom and talk to small groups or individuals. I mostly give personal feedback on the work they're doing that moment.
During games I would be less active and let the student play and explore themselves.

rajflic — 2019-05-07 10:27:43 UTC

I spend half the time in the classroom sitting because I look at their homework. But at such moments I give them feedback and we go through all the ambiguities. I approach each student individually by explaining the problem he has, and we come to the solution together. Sometimes we do it through the game or some interesting way. The second part of the time should play the game through the game and there is currently no idea how to do it. Like I used to say, we like quizzes, but I would like to extend it to some additional activities or games.

Loli, Spain

Loli_Manteiga_Gomez — 2019-05-07 11:07:51 UTC

Right now, my role in the classroom changes a bit depending on my students' age. I'm a guide with the youngest, facilitator and mentor with the oldest and adult ones. I'm always moving around, never sit down and from time to time I make them move as well; it's quite hard being sitting down for hours! I usually interact and give them feedback at the end of the tasks, not to interrupt them, promoting this way their confidence and fluency. I also ask them to give feedback to their classmates by using rubrics I prepare beforehand. If I introduce games (and I've done it many times), probably any or tiny changes would occur.

Grozdena Chalakova, Bulgaria

2019-05-07 11:08:28 UTC

My role is a teacher. In most cases, I'm in front of the students and among them. I often give them the opportunity to share. I believe that positive changes will occur in more frequent use of games in the classroom.

Nađa, Croatia

nadino44 — 2019-05-07 13:58:31 UTC

My role in the class is to introduce students into the world of knowledge. Most of the time I walk through the classroom and I'm mostly among the kids. I connect with the children by talking, pointing to logical conclusions, with positive feedback. In the same way I behave while playing the games in the classroom.

Ines, Croatia

2019-05-07 14:24:39 UTC

My role is to get students to gain as much knowledge as possible in various ways of teaching. Most of the time I'm in front of the students and I walk among them to give them feedback,support and necessary instructions. I provide feedback verbally most of the time, but when we play some games during the class, the result of the game speaks for itself as a feedback. If I introduce more games in my classroom, my style of teaching should probably change, too.

Plamena, Bulgaria

flame_61 — 2019-05-07 14:46:07 UTC

When games enter the classroom the role of the teacher is to facilitate, to provide students with useful resources. We shouldn't always focus on the efficiency of learning. Game-based learning makes our lessons more interesting. Games involve all the students in the process of learning and they stimulate their long time memory.

Lina Tetradi, Greece

linatetradi — 2019-05-07 15:00:00 UTC

It mainly depends on the tasks we do, but, at the moment, I'm mainly in front of the class most of the time, because I use the whiteboard a lot or near my desk, so I can use the laptop. My students have to raise their hand to ask for permission to speak and the feedback is mainly informal that emerges spotaneously during the lesson. There is formal feedback as well, that has to do with assessment tasks. Thankfully, every time I use games in my lessons, all these change! I walk around the whole class and the feedback is mainly peer or self feedback.

Vida, Lithuania

bavidaa — 2019-05-07 17:10:24 UTC

Most of the time I devote my subject to studying topics and applying them, i. y. I follow student work, consult, advise. It would be wonderful if most of the topics could be clarified and understood with the help of games.

Liliana, Portugal

2019-05-07 18:59:03 UTC

My role in the classroom is maily to lead students... I present some contents, explain issues, and then guide them through autonomous and collaborative work. As we are facing some disciplinary issues, I just wish I wouldn't spend so much time implementing some behaviour rules, in order to get some more engaging moments... but... we'll get there! :)

Meryem, Turkey

meryemgulerrr123 — 2019-05-07 19:06:37 UTC

It depens on the topic which ı have to deal with because of the cirruculumn but mostly I follow these ways, first of all ı gave specific information that they need to understand the topic, while part we are discussing and learning the topic by using technological devices like videos , photos, listening parts and then game time! We are playing games to improve their knowledge and practising the topic . Whole lesson my roles are like leading and guiding them.Also an observer.

At the moment I am the manager, looking after every single detail in the classroom. Physically I am everywhere, walking around and interacting with the students. I try to give feedback all the time and try to concentrate mostly on the positive or sandwich feedback (good, bad, good). I think by introducing the games, the students will be more empowered and take the lead in managing the learning and giving peer feedback.

Unfortunately, I am not doing things the way I want. I have 12 classes of students, I teach around 35 hours a week and I don't have time to prepare my classes properly! That's the reality! I try to include some practical tasks but not really as a tutor should do it! And I'm not happy with it! Feedback is regularly provided. I think games are a excellent tool/resource to use provided it is well prepared!

Clara Vitorino

2019-05-07 21:21:38 UTC

Nowadays my way of teaching has changed a lot. I don't believe students learn too many contents but they can learn to research, to communicate information, to organise data, to create their own games to develop their learning process. With secondary students I stimulate that they take charge of the lesson and they organise the contents and activities. Sometimes I think that I wouldn't do as well as they do.

Marília Bação, Portugal

2019-05-07 21:54:16 UTC

Unfortunately, I still cannot do as Stephane. Not only because my school is more "traditional" but also because I'm not prepared. I think I was the first to introduce Kahoot to my school about 3 years ago and I know I was criticized the by some colleagues who still cannot see that mobile phones can be of great help. Imagine what they think of Kahoot that is a "game"! Fortunately, the director has more vision than some colleagues and I've been making some changes though against tide. Last year I presented a project to have a room with tables in "islands" and was accepted. There were colleagues in the department who preferred to stay in the traditional rooms in rows and this year we no longer have the island room.

Sever, ROMANIA

2019-05-08 07:34:19 UTC

As librarian I don't enter the classrooms every day, but when I do I try to prepare engaging activities for students. So, only at the beginning of the lesson I am in front of pupils, later I help them, give feedback and so on. I would really like to change that to engage pupils more by using games.

When I teach I interact with students on professional way meaning I love order and discipline. Most of my time, I interact with students friendly so they feel comfortable to tell me everything that is on their minds. I think everything would stay the same despite involving games in my classroom because they are already involved and I am sure that they have big impact on my current role and relationship with students.

My teaching has changed a lot since I started teaching. I try to have my students autonomous and to look for information to clarify their doubts. I feel like a mentor and not as a teacher who enters the room and stays 90 minutes to debit matter. I want to train young people who are autonomous and who know how to work as a team, who know how to help a colleague who has more difficulties and who feels useful in the process of teaching learning.

While they work I constantly walk around the class and supervise, giving them immediate feedback so they can correct or modify their work.

My role in the classroom depends on the activity we make. There are some moments when it's necessary to introduce new concepts and in this case I prepare the lessons and explain my pupils the new subjects. I try to involve them as much as possible so that they can be active in their learning. But this is not so easy. Sometimes I let them to try to do something new by themself, so that they can make hypothesis about the possible solution and this is always a big challenge

In order to develop the imagination of a preschooler, you must read them many age-related stories you have to let them explore on their own and to satisfy their curiosity about different experiments, action or things and you have to answer them all the questions.

cheminguifiras1966 — 2019-05-10 22:03:47 UTC

As a teacher, our role has become of an organizer of learning situations. According to the nature of our students, we must have a behavior adapted to their needs. Our students are no longer in class to address the different chapters of the school curriculum; rather they optimize learning situations for all. From our student becomes the center of learning he becomes the facilitator of the session, so the introduction of games in the lessons makes this task easier, so the role of the teacher becomes just a facilitator no more. Students can even be assigned tasks to prepare at home, so in class it is the students who will teach the lesson, these tasks will be done in groups or individually everything will depend on the nature of the lesson and its objectives.

My role is to facilitate learning and after the input where the lesson content is delivered, I work with a group of children to support or extend them. If games were introduced I feel that there would be more ownership of learning coming from the children. They would be motivated and in turn more learning opportunities would take place for all abilities.

Nicoleta, Romania

Daniele - Italy

danvir — 2019-05-12 12:03:03 UTC

I think that a good teacher should be a facilitator, but not always. In Italy we have a strong tradition based on the importance of contents. Whilst it is not enough nowadays, we should not lose all the old way of teaching. I am conscious that I should adopt a more student-centred pedagogy, though it is not so easy: especially because, as the teacher of the video has said, we are scared about losing control of the situation. But I have to say that I have a class with a high number of students (27 with many of them with SEN). It's hard to involve each of them and they're not so able into manage their own learning. I know that I should work on this and I hope to get better.

Maria, Greece

2019-05-12 12:17:03 UTC

I see my role in the classroom mainly as facilitator. When I introduce an new subject or a new activity I am in front of my pupils but, then I walk around in order to support them, help them solve problems that occur, encourage them. I am trying to continuously give them feedback, during their activity performing and at the end. I would love to introduce gamification in my classrooms, because I believe this will give my pupils great motivation and thus promote their creativity. Introducing games to ICT and computer science lessons may be quite straightforward through role playing, designing and creating a new pc game (using scratch), designing and programming a robot.

As a primary school teacher my role is to teach the students the elementary skills and to facilitate learning, to make learning more dynamic, to create a working atmosphere,
Students can learn easier and enjoy that when they work in groups or in pairs, but with me among them they feel supported and encouraged.

I work with students with intellectual disabilities and most of my time I stend near beside one of them. I often repeat the instructions or show them how will they do something. I give them feedback. I praise them for each correct answer or well done assignment. We play various digital games and games which require motor skills.

dejanavarnica — 2019-05-12 18:48:42 UTC

Classes in my school are small (5 to 9 students), so I am all around them. I am walking from student to student, follow their work, give them extra explanation if they needed, give them feedback what they doing correct, or where they need to find another way to solve task, ect. I use games most of the time during my work (I am school psychologist, so games are the best way to interact with students), so my role will be almost the same.

At the moment, my role in the class is the coordinator of the activities, especially in the first year of school, when the child needs more support, encouragement. We work in front, but also in teams, and most of the time I am among the children, I help them in need, I encourage them to be active, creative. As the children grow up, they can run certain activities themselves, providing feedback especially at the end of the activity. When I propose a play activity, children are very motivated, active, working better.

I don’t assume a specific position in the classroom. On some occasions I walk around and check on the work my students are doing, other times I may stand in front of them doing some explaining. I am a teacher of German, so I usually combine different activities (speaking, listening, writing) that make me assume different roles automatically.

Neslihan, Turkey

2019-05-13 10:05:12 UTC

In some classes I have an active role. I try to lead the activities. When playing games they need a moderator. Actually I don’t like this position. Students must be more active. In some activities I found that everything would be easier if they actively take roles, moderates and evaluate.

Mirela, Croatia

2019-05-13 11:52:15 UTC

My role in the classroom changes according to the class I teach. I teach different abilities classes so I a class of low/er abilities I'm nostly all over the place and they need help to do even simple task or even play games. Then in some classes, my pupils are those who have a more active role.
I think that gamification would have a positive impact even on my lower abilities calsses.

Brana, Croatia

2019-05-13 12:18:56 UTC

In my classroom mostly I’m a moderator. My kids are in 3^rd grade and they are used to do their tasks alone, in pairs or groups, they know how to approach a problem and organize themselves. In that way of work and learning I’ve got a great results and fulfilled objectives. That gives me more time to devote to the students with special needs.
I give my students every day on each class feedback on their achievements, they are used to make self-evaluation and peer-evaluation. Games already are part of our daily routine.

Dunja, Croatia

2019-05-13 15:34:38 UTC

I'd love to consider myself as a moderator, facilitator of learning and coordinator of activities. However, I do spend a lot of time in a classical classroom setting. I do walk around the classroom, trying to engage students and stir them in the right direction. I provide written and oral feedback with an intent to motivate. When we play games, I do tend to fall into the background not out of my own volition, but students become so engaged in the games with an expressed desire to do better than others (and preferably win) that they, at times, forget I'm even in the classroom. This does not happen when we play Grammar Auction or role-playing games. I suppose that focusing more on games that foster collaboration and not winning would make me a more engaged teacher-moderator.

I'm an IT teacher and because of that physically my place is next to my students to help them with tasks. I have a projector to demonstrate them new theoretical and practical knowledge.
For the feedback I use different thinks like games - Kahoot, learningapps.org, quizzes, tests, crosswords and homework. Sometime I give them opportunity to draw with colored pencils in computer classroom which surprise them a lot. My students love playing educational games.

Marisa Rocha, PT

2019-05-13 17:44:49 UTC

For me, the base for everything is the relationship you create with your students. If they don't like you, they won't engage in the activities in a positive way. I never sit at the teacher's desk. I tend to move around and I sometimes sit next to students, so much so, that sometimes I look like just another student in the class, and they like that! Having said that, I do teach in a tough school which takes students from deprived backgrounds who are often so wrapped up in their own problems that it is more difficult to get their full attention and dedication. And on top of that, they're teenagers! I try to engage them with jokes and games, but I realise I should invest more in better and more frequent feedback! That's why I'm here! ;)

I have 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade together so I'm in a specific situation. My role is to try to think which information I have to give to each pupil because my brain works on three different lessons all the time. I struggle every day with lesson plans and live stream in classroom :D. Sometimes I find it very challenging, sometimes is fun, and sometimes I can't wait to go home. I try to give feedback for every task, because I find it important for them to know what was good, so they can reuse it when neccesary, or avoide. I believe games would help me in this situation and ecourage them to try something new as pupils love games.

My role in the class is quite versatile: from presenter of the subject and guide of the lesson, I decentralize my role from the chair, moving towards the class and mixing myself with my students. Often they make me repeat deliveries over and over again or what I mentioned in the initial presentation, and in the end I found as a strategic solution to have them or their companions repeat how to conduct their work, through facilitated questions. Of course an ad hoc game would help me a lot.

Elisabetta...ROMA

2019-05-13 23:46:49 UTC

I prepare materials and stimulate students to learning by doing and problem posing/problem solving activities through cooperative learning and sometimes the flipped classroom. Students are very motivated especially when they plan/invent lab experiment they carry out in the Chemistry lab. My role is definitely as a facilitator. Sometimes I stay at the board or near the computer, sometimes I wonder in the class to answer my students’ questions and help them when they are not able to find a solution in a group. I approve their independent and creative work. I try to stimulate to invent something new if I discover less creative student which try to learn by heart. Introducing games is an interesting aspect of teaching and learning. However, during Science lessons students use realia, manipulate, invent, perform experiments and are enthusiastic of that. Games can complete this approach. By learning app they had the opportunity to test themselves by games I prepared for them. Everything works, but it is necessary to spend a lot of time at home to produce materials sitting hours in font of the screen of a computer to prepare virtual games. Preparing practical really experiments is more exciting for me and it is a food alternative to the virtual word where they live spending too much time tipping at their mobile.

I function as a provider a learning facilitator and an observer

We try to talk as much as possible, I try to let them come to some conclusions and them to solve as many tasks as possible, although that is the harder way.Feedback is almost everyday thing; we write homework checks, we do some group work with checklists, I try to prepare them output cards after some new lesson to have some feedback am I doing well but also what and how did they comprehend what I said.
Games could build the motivation in my students.

Well, our education sistem is changing from techer-centered to student-centered teaching. Most of the time we work on the textbook so I'm standing in front of them all but I try to do many tasks in which they have to be creative and make sth on their own (or in pairs/groups), e.g. doing a quiz, a role-play on a given topic, commenting a blog post, creating and presenting their web page. Then I move around to guide them through their work and give them feedback.

Nowadays, I am experimenting the flipped classroom and some different setting of the classroom. Just the other day I got my pupils attention when I asked them to get down on the floor in a circle and we talked about a grammar matter in a more friendly manner. The amount of information was less but the lesson gained in efficiency. I was able to give positive verbal feedback to every student and none of them has been left aside.Games would definitely be a plus engaging all students in their own education.

leskovic_ana — 2019-05-22 07:19:36 UTC

Since I am a school librarian, my classes are mainly interactive and students are motivated to involve actively in the process of learning. But when I think at my physical position in the classroom, I think I am still most of the time in front of them which is totally wrong and I am still trying to change that. There is always a summary at the end where together through conversation we try to look at students achievements and work during the class. If I introduce more games during classes I think students will get more involved in the process of learning maybe because it will change their attitude towards the concept of learning and goals they are supposed to achieve.

Sometimes I explain frontally using ppt, but most students in the library are exploring, discussing, presenting, and using digital tools.

At the moment my role is usually the traditional one, standing in front of the students or behind the desk when they come to do exercises on the interactive board. However, I often walk around the classroom to give them support or check their work too. I think introducing games in the classroom would make me more an observer than a superviser or enforcer. The students would take over more in that case.

The role of the teacher in the class is to adapt to the students' requirements. Aflandun us in the age of speed students want new things. new ways of teaching, and introducing games is a great thing. They come in love, collaborate, and even make games for the class. I personally learn from them

Renata, Croatia

My role depends on the theme and even on the classroom in which I teach. Per example, if I use IT room, students will have more oportunities to play various games, and I will be among them, not in front of the class.

eaocornella1 — 2019-05-27 09:42:12 UTC

My role in the classroom depends on the moment. I try to give children opportunities to play board games to learn vocabulary, (created by me) and I create two groups. I cannot control them, so they have rules, and they ensure their partners follow the rules, if not, they will be punished with a missing turn, for example.
By the other hand, with young ones, I use to play TPR games.

francifilippdavi — 2019-05-27 14:12:53 UTC

As a teacher I am a guide.

I love some strategies like the flipped classroom, so in that case I stand before the students just to give an imput on a topic.

The students study that topic indipendentely. They become experts and return to class to show their work. They are positively evaluated if their work is completed and if it is understood by other students.

I think that gamification can represent an excellent and initial imput for this strategy, but also a task to assign.

As a teacher you have a tremendous responsibility. You have to form! But listening, understanding, passing, sometimes guessing .... but always get involved.
My everyday work is not with the kids, step by step. But I always find and I will find time for it. I'm involved in all sorts of activities with little pupils and not only. Starting with hiking, with projects, volunteering, holidays, etc. We discover together exactly what we are proposing. And above all, we discover some [others: teachers, students, colleagues, friends ..... never enemies.
When playing games, students become so involved in games with a desire to do better. They like the collaboration and not the winning. Because we always find the right way, they are actively involved in positive activities. They are also their age, often with the teacher of the class ... It is often complicated ... because students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are burdened with family problems ... and need support and encouragement to overcome certain states. It's up to us to get them out of sadness or apathy with jokes and games. Children are children, they need help, encouragement, support, example. That's why we're teachers! to have the patience and the skill to offer the game and to develop strong people with the characters!

lavpaune1 — 2019-05-28 09:48:22 UTC

Since we come from a traditional model of educationsl system, it is obvious that there remain some characteristics of this type-the teacher centered class, but I am continually trying to change this and offer my students chances to have the leading role and be guided in whatever tasks they have. I am absolutely sure that, by introducing games in the classroom, my teaching techniques will become student-centered and they will feel more engaged in the English class.

My role in the classroom is as a mentor of learning, most of the time as an explanator of subjects.
In the classroom I am often near the board or walking around the classroom helping students complete their assignments.
My interaction with students goes a long way to show powerpoint, videos and ask lots of questions, hoping to get feedback from students.
If I introduced games in the classroom I would strongly increase feedback and motivate students.

Hayley, Ireland

In my classroom, I act as both a leader and a facilitator in my students learning journey. I encourage my students to challenge themselves by asking questions, present multiple options for solutions and engage with the world around them. I ask students to give themselves feedback on their own progress, their friends feedback through conferencing and I give them individual notes on whats going well and what can improve.

aisheh_bashatwah — 2019-05-28 20:19:13 UTC

Since I work as a teacher for only two years, I am still learning how to avoid exclusively frontal teaching (and I think I'm better at that this year than was the case last year). I interact with students a lot, motivate them to participate in discussions, to express their opinion and to relate the concepts from psychology to their personal experience. They have a lot of individual taks (one is quite investigative) and a couple of group tasks, and the class of advanced psychology is very project oriented (small groups of students work on their research project, which they present during Psychology Week). I would like to use more role playing games, maybe even create an educative larp (not for teaching per se, but as a prevention project), and find a way how to make the most boring parts of curriculum interesting to them.

Hello! My role at the moment is to teach and to learn from them, for them and with them. Physically, I move. I talk to them and I try to get to know them. My feedback is regular – usually oral and written. Sometimes, that is not enough. If I introduced games, some of these things could change, but I don't think my relationship with them would change.

Athina, Greece

2019-05-29 19:21:52 UTC

I really enjoy my role in the class, because I am myself, without being very strict or too loose. Kids understand my love for math, so it is easier for them to have a better attitude towards it. We feedback often, mainly orally, and we discuss about the changes they would like to have. I sure think , that if I intruduced games into classroom , more often , it would make the lesson more interesting and fumn to learn.

Introducing games in the classroom would definitely amplify a positive aura in the classroom

In the future, I would like to see myself as a teacher who provides students opportunities to learn based on their own learning and their own strategies. One who is able to provide student-led activities that is engaging. After experiencing teaching in a school, I see myself as the teacher who likes to move a lot, interacts, guide, and support students. If I were to incorporate games into the classroom, I must first provide guidelines as well as classroom procedures and rules. Also, I have to plan it out before the beginning of school making sure that it aligns with what the students will learn.

I'm currently an intern in combination with all four grades and my role is to help children, direct them to stand alone work and solve problems. In class I mostly walk and go to the students of 4 different grades and each must focus on further task solving. Students receive oral and written feedback, but occasionally and digitally during the game. The introduction of games in the class more motivates the students to work.

Marijana Curić, Croatia

My role in the class at this time is the process manager, the caretaker of a friendly atmosphere, the roster of activities. Most of the time I am physicaly located among them, in front of them, depending on the activity . We talk, talk freely, listen to someone talking, search words, team work, pair, respect established rules, enjoy digital games and tasks, dance and movement. I give them feedback on every lesson orally or in writting. I think kids will be trilled with new games and more motivated to work.
