Week Six Tough and Sweet













Hello everybody,

This is is great and tiring. Although we don't have many materials to read, we have some tiring tasks. I read about Power Point Presentation. This tool offers a lot to teachers and students regarding teaching and learning. I went through different techniques about the use of the tool. PPT is an excellent too that a teacher uses to develop a certain skill in a student. I want to emphasize on the idea of learning or I could say self learning by the students. Personally I spent much time surfing and trying to locate some ideas and have some other facts and information about large classes, small classes and PPT. I spent some time talking to my coworkers, asking some questions about the use of PPT in the classroom. Once we have the discussion started we try to manage a short discussion one the issue raised in week six. The biggest and the most useful talk is the Nicenet. This tool helps a lot in enhancing my knowledge on the use of ppt and some ideas about large classes and small classes. I am positive that teaching and learning are tow words to be one. I appreciate all the participants effort and bright ideas presented on the Nicenet every week. I would like to add something about the use of ppt. Teachers can use the ppt to teach the following:
- Grammar points
- Phonetics
- Listening through songs
- Listening through programs or movies
- Vocabulary through newspapers
- Writing through pictures
- Speaking through pictures
There are other uses I might not mention because ppt is a tool with different uses. Teachers can come up with several ideas regarding ppt usages. 

Thank you very much for everybody participating in the course and making it goes smooth and beneficial to all.
