Week 7

The miracle of student life

Learning all time 

This week is a first time that I go to the observation teaching at Ubon Wittayakom School.  I have many things to do and This time I want to talk about my first week that I living in the school.

First day

My duty is learning and observing about the general school information. Ubon Wittayakom School has a long history. Then I learning and observing about school philosophy, vision, a mission of the school, color and meaning of that color, school personnel, building and area around the school. Moreover, I introduce myself to my adviser teacher and tell the objective that why I come to the school. so we collaborative planning about the lesson and what things I must do in the school. From the first day, I really tired because everything looks disordered and I still can't remember the building and room.

Second day

        My second day going easy. I find the information about the general condition of the community around the school. In the morning I take Care for a student to clean their area. This time is a good time to make a relationship with my student. After that, I have a chance to observe the English class teaching by my adviser teacher.

Third day

This day I have to observe work in a teacher's role. For the example supervise the students to follow the rules in the classroom, student attendance tracking, measurement and evaluation, the lesson plans and innovation etc. From this day I have learned how to prepare myself before teaching. The lesson plan will consistent with the objective of learning. About how to choose the innovation to adapt to your activity let it follow the objective. The innovation is important to give a student learn the full potential and understand the content more. There are many new innovations that we can adapt to our activity. Something can use in the true situation but something can't that follow each classroom. For example, if you want to use the Kahoot to do the activity but in the classroom don't have a projector the activities cannot happen.

Last day

For this day I observe student behavior and then choose the student to write the case study. The student A is 11 years old. She from grade 6. I interest in her behavior. Because she is a diligent, intent to learn or work. She has a responsibility for her duty. She always knows her duty. From the observer, I get a little information. So, For more information, I interview her advisor teacher and then I interview her. The question that I ask her is about personal information, a background of her family health, characteristics and qualification information.

I think this observation is a big work one. How many knowledge and experience that I can touch. Each day made my beautiful life is full. I work so hard at the school and after school, I do homework that I think I don't want to do but It is my duty. Only one thing that made me want to go to the school is a student. The cheerfulness from kids can heal my daily.

This week I have learned how to use the browser name's Seesaw from W group. It's a platform for student engagement and free for teachers. I think this one encourage student engagement in the classroom. Students get excited to choose from Seesaw's creative tools. They express themselves, reflect on their learning and create a portfolio they're proud to show others. It helps the teacher focus even more on a student. Seesaw helps the teacher see and hear what students know so you can better understand their progress and give more differentiated instruction. 

My advisor teacher gives our class learn how to be a gentleman. then I'm going to orientation at Kaewkanlaya room before I go to observations teaching next week. From the orientation, Teacher guides us about how to be a good demeanor. Next is the things that we should not do. For Example, don't touch the body's student, Don't forget to prepare the lesson plan and write the daily.

I have many things to do before going to school. I'm excited about the new experience. I will go to the place that I don't know everyone. And I think I am lucky because of the school not too far but It very traffic jam.

New application to learning English

Week Five

ESL GAMES PLUS 

We use technology a lot in daily life. And we use the technology to comfort in our education. Like the application for learning English that we presented in the classroom.

This week our classroom use the application adapt work a lot. We have a big project to present and teach how to use one application that our group chooses. We choose a browser is ESL GAME PLUS. It’s very useful for learning English. It has many functions. You can practice a reading skill from the passages, listening skill from the VDO, writing skill with the error tests and speaking by replete follow the application and you will enjoy with any kinds of games.

Moreover, It has a lesson plan and test for supporting the teacher. This browser easy to use and it has another version on a smartphone. So we can use it everywhere every time.

One application that I like is plinker. This application was presented by the zombie plicker group. I thought this application is very interesting. We can use this app to check attendant of the classroom, play games and we can use it to check how many the student understand the lesson while we are teaching. We can know by the score will show only on our screen.

In summarizing I will use the application adapt to my lesson or my classroom when I going to observing in the school next week. Thank you, everyone, to share the new idea and tools for teaching English. We will improve Thailand education together.

The little collaboration

The fourth week, I have many group work. Each work is a big project that makes my plan on the last weekend is fail. That not the big problem. I'm a fourth-year student I can manage my time. I realize my duty and make it on my best. And I just don’t live my team.  

I learn many things from other work and this subject. First, I learn the meaning of “collaboration”. It is very important for group work. You much talk to each other and plan together before doing the work. Second, I learn about the new tool is Google Docs. It is very useful to help my working. I can create, edit and collaborate with others on documents from my computer, smartphone, and tablet. It so cool that I can use it anywhere anytime. The last one I want to write about the “responsibility”. I think this word is a key to do your work or group work. You should respond for your duty, friend, team and time. It makes you look professional. 


Learning from everything that comes into my life. If it negative I will be hearing and open-minded in solving the mistake. On the other hand if it positive I will keep and apply it to my daily life. Then it time to prepare myself before I go to observe the teaching in school.
