    Really valuable information, especially for teachers. There are platforms we have already used, such as Wordwall, and we will certainly try the rest. But can we rely on games to explain the lesson and carry out evaluation processes, or is it considered an additional activity?

      In my opinion, if we depend on games, they will get bored. It's better to use them sometimes when there's a need for that. What do you think?

      Yes! Why not?

Lyrics Training: Third Session - February 6th, 2025

In our recent lecture, we explored ten amazing teaching tools, and I'm so excited to share my experience with one that's particularly close to my heart: Lyrics Training ! Back in 2020, when I started a new job, my life was incredibly hectic. I'd wake up, pack my lunch, head to school to teach (yes, I'm a teacher!), and then go to the language centre to teach English courses. Then,  bam - suddenly, while doing aerobics, I broke my foot – a fifth metatarsal fracture, also known as a Jones fracture (named after Sir Robert Jones, a British surgeon), or even a dancer's fracture because ballet dancers often get it! In a nutshell, my life took a turn for the worse. I was stuck in bed, unable to move my foot and constantly needing help from my family. I kept asking myself: what could I do?

This one's all about our Goodbye Game from our eighth session - a hilariously memorable experience to celebrate the end of Term 2 (Fri March 7th). Instead of the usual lecture, our awesome professor decided to shake things up and take us outside for a game! She divided us into groups and sent us on a scavenger hunt adventure , armed with instructions on Nearpod. Our destination: Rootes! But getting there was half the fun... Strange Requests and Social Anxiety! Let me tell you, the requests on Nearpod were... interesting! 🤣 We had to listen to a specific song, watch a random video, and THEN... head to the supermarket! The instructions for the supermarket were wild. We had to: •  Take a photo with a supermarket employee! •  Count the number of people working there! •  Take a photo of a tool they use for their job! So, naturally, I took the initiat...
