Teaching Ideas

            In learning process, teaching cannot be separated from it. Although we prepare the lesson plan, the fact or the reality that we found in the classroom sometime is different with the lesson plan. We should have the strategy for managing the class.

First of all, in warming up process, teachers have to lead in the knowledge of the students by showing attractive material, such as, video, pictures, etc.

Second of all, In learning process, teachers have to give the attractive activity, for example: shopping idea activity. In this process, students have to see the other students’ projects that have been hanged in the wall, so the students move on from one project to the other project. Commonly, this is the group project. So, avoid monotone activity that makes students not interested in learning process. Sometimes, seating arrangement is needed for the variation of learning process.

Third, use technology in teaching. Technology have several benefits for the teacher, not only for supporting and helping the teacher in learning process, but also technology can make students to engage in learning process. Most of the students feel interested if teaching by using technology. Many technologies can be used by the teacher for teaching including applications and software; schoology, edmodo, online learning, and the other. It’s very useful for the teacher in learning process.

The last but not least is managing the class. Sometimes we find the condition where the students do not enthusiasm in learning process. Don’t push them into the material in learning process. Teacher can make the ice breaker for the students. After the students feel enthusiasm, teacher can continue the material.
