Hi everyone! I didn't choose this topic randomly actually ,I kinda was pushed by my presentation last week but also from my classmate's. We experienced such trouble with our technological tools and we had to come up with some techniques and strategies so as the class would not fail .Of course that we could do more and I did some research about what alternatives can make use of in order to keep on with the lesson when technology fails. First of all ,incorporating technology in the classroom can mean  having to deal with some common technological glitches like low internet access, uncharged computers ,videos which cannot be played or applications which cannot be opened in other computers,these were some issues that we experienced last time .Although we did make use of technology using the PowerPoint, the song ,video etc.So technology fails and we shall be realistic since perfection is outside its programming .

Just like Euripides says " learning is more effective when it is an active rather than a passive process ". Getting the students involved in the class not only adds interest to a course, it also provides a way for us to promote active learning and asses understanding.While it's common for only a few people to speak up in a group ,there are plenty of simple ways to help  break down this natural barrier and get our students participating. And below in this blog you will encounter some methods which may help you foster an environment where all students feel comfortable to participate in the classroom activities. Ideally,the goal of  increasing participation is not to have every student involved in the same way or at the same rate. Instead it is to create an environment in which all participants have the...
