Online Microteaching

During my online lesson, a lot of things went well. My slides were clear and easy to understand, which helped the learners follow along. I spoke clearly and answered questions patiently. This made sure that everyone understood the content. This approach kept the learners (my fellow peers) engaged and made the learning process smooth.

However, I faced some challenges. I need to get better at managing my time because I went over the allocated time. This disrupted the flow of the lesson, and I rushed the final parts. Also, the video I chose wasn't very engaging or interesting. In the future, I will choose more captivating and fun videos that align better with the lesson content to keep the learners interested.

Despite these challenges, I was able to meet all the lesson objectives. I checked this by asking questions after explaining the concepts. The learners' responses showed that they understood everything well, which was reassuring. The questions I asked were directly related to the lesson objectives, which helped reinforce their understanding.

To enhance engagement, I used ICT tools like YouTube and the chat box. These tools provided a visual and practical understanding of abstract concepts, which made the lesson more dynamic. The chat box allowed for immediate interaction and feedback, enabling learners to ask questions and clarify doubts on the spot.

I encountered an issue with my microphone, which stopped working during the lesson. To overcome this, I called one of the students and used her microphone to talk to the class. This situation demonstrated my ability to adapt to unexpected problems and continue the lesson smoothly despite technical difficulties.

Reflecting on this experience, I see the importance of being flexible and well-prepared. While many aspects of the lesson went well, the challenges I faced taught me valuable lessons. I need to work on my time management to ensure I cover all the content within the allotted time. Additionally, selecting more engaging and relevant video content is crucial to keep the learners interested.
