Self Reflectin
Impact of covid 19 pandemic has resulted in the upside down shift in the age old customs and practices .It's effects was also felt on educational field also. Everything has moved to online mode of transaction. As a result our teaching practice was also conducted through Google platform . It has been planned to conduct through different phases. The first phase is "Peer Teaching". Yesterday onwards peer teaching had started in our college.
Today was the second day of peer teaching. I was assigned to take class today. I took a poem titled 'Song of the Flower' by Khalil Gibran. I thought a poem would be a good opening,that's why I took it as my first topic. I was little tensed but I cunningly covered it with a smile. Since it was an online mode I was keen to include all the online mode of teaching techniques. I used some slides to show the authors details, meaning and discourse activity. I also included a video to teach the poem because I was sure that video will give a visual learning experience to my peer group.
Since it was my first class I commited some mistakes also. The biggest mistake was done regarding the title of the poem. I took the poem 'Song of the flower' but at some point switched to song of 'a dream' . There was also lack of blackboard visibility since my camera and blackboard distance was adjusted improperly. I also used some informal gesters like 'ah','eh' etc...
There are many limitations in an online mode of transaction but the mistakes I made today is repairable....so I hope I can correct it and make my upcoming classes better than today's.
