As a teacher, I have always considered myself resourceful. Teaching abroad in the past has made me appreciate the resources I have here close to home, but also encouraged me to use my creativity to create materials for my students that were not easily available. No matter what resources we are able to access, I think teachers should always reflect on how they can use what they have to best meet the needs of their students.
In what ways have you been resourceful recently?

ReplyDeleteLast Friday I was giving a lesson via Skype to one of my students who all of a sudden had problems with the sound and couldn't hear me at all. I was lucky - I could hear her, so I made up my mind to go on. Our main point that day was preparing for a test (thanks God!), so we did our best and used both oral and written communication. My student was doing the test sample and actually talking all the time, while I was using gestures and writing comments in the chat box. It worked out. I hope the results will as well :)
