Using Canva to reinforce the topic in discussion. Also it helps in presenting ideas during discourse. ie presentation and discussion.

Using writeandimprove.com from Cambridge to promote engaging writing activities to the students.

They'll receive immediate feedback on their writing i.e. spelling, sentence structure errors etc.

Making Maths Engaging

When practicing past paper questions, I asked students to walk around and write their answers and solutions on the mahjong paper. I found that students were very engaged and working together to solve questions.

Experiments always help students understand the topic they are learning for science subjects. Some of the students are hands-on learners. Thus, they learn by practice.

Example:

Biology-operate small animal

Chemistry-color changing reaction

Physic- movement of the object

Practice makes perfect

As my subject is more to practical, practicing using past year papers is one of the method that I used. The steps were as followed. 1) Giving past year papers. 2) for those who already know on how to do will just continue doing, while those who aren't, will watching the video practical from youtube and they will do it by their own. The consequence for this is it will take a lot of time and we almost run of time to do all of these.

Teaching Tools

A lot of engaging tools for teachers to incorporate in their lessons.

Using Real-Life Examples to Enhance Learning

2025-03-15 00:18:29 UTC

Real-life examples help students understand complex concepts better.

In science, immunity can be explained through vaccines, showing how the body fights diseases. This makes topics like antibodies and immune response easier to grasp.

Other subjects also benefit from real-world connections.

In chemistry, industrial applications of alkenes help students see how plastics and synthetic materials are made.

In English, analyzing real-world topics in essays improves critical thinking and writing skills.

Using real-life examples, discussions, and activities makes lessons more engaging and helps students understand and remember concepts more effectively.

Using Google Forms for MCQs

rudeeco — 2025-03-15 00:18:52 UTC

I have attempted using Google Forms to give students MCQ practice. I find that students are more engaged in the lesson when they can scroll and choose their answers.

Using Youtube Video Tutorials for Past Papers

rudeeco — 2025-03-15 00:22:09 UTC

Since I don't have time in lessons to check on every single student, I allow each student to work at their own pace to solve past papers by referring to youtube tutorials.

Using topical past papers in every subtopic

rudeeco — 2025-03-15 00:32:01 UTC

I always attempt to use past paper questions after every subtopic to allow my students to see what will come out for exams from that particular subchapter. By the time We are finished with the whole topic, they have questions to revise with and they know what to expect from exams.

aimyasminx — 2025-03-15 00:33:42 UTC

Not a creative one, but for English - I paired them to discuss the answers. Students who are really weak will stay with me, so that I could guide them personally on how to tackle the questions. For students who can work independently, they'll be paired with another student who needs peer support.

Individual activities and presenting their answers

rudeeco — 2025-03-15 00:34:02 UTC

I have tried to assign students to do one question independently and present their answers to the class. this way they don't always depend on their friends for the answer, but they have attempted it on their own

Shared documents where students answer and compare their answers with their friends.

rudeeco — 2025-03-15 00:35:30 UTC

Using the shared document, the students can see if they are correct and can compare their solutions with others.
