Hi all, before I start posting the e-learning assignment online, let me complete those assignments which I missed out during the first week of our ICT class. First of all, I openly declare that I did not register for my modules thats why I missed the first week. lol. Anyways it wasn't that I was lazy or anything, the lousy NIE website was down during the several occassions that I tried.
Ok enough about that. Let me introduce myself to all of you guys reading this. Some of you may know me, but I'm sure a lot of you don't.
My name is Reshmi Rai and I am 20 this year. I am from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts/ NIE 4 year art teaching course. Im only in NIE for one year and this is my final year. I am very interested in photography,travelling overseas and anything concerning visual arts. Frankly, I am not the IT person, however, I am trying my best to fit in this changing world.
Besides all that, I recently finished my School Experience at Bartley Secondary School and my experience there was simply smashing! I had the time of my life there and I met the most dearest colleagues. The experience of handling students was really exciting and incredible, and I think I performed pretty well, considering this is my very first time going out to teach. However, there are many more things that I could have improved upon, such as building a rapport with the students. I felt it was quite difficult for me to do that as I was rather strict with them and it was only 4 weeks. If given a longer time, I am sure I will get closer to them.
Learning how to teach is one thing, putting it into action is another and I really love the excitement I receive while teaching my own students.

hi!!!
ReplyDeleteeh alright i shall do mine asap hahaha...
i agree that building up rapport is VERY hard. and my CT told me that building rapport with the students is EXTREMELY important, especially with music (perhaps for art too). THe subject is not an important subject and they have nothing to look forward to in our lessons (no grading). Thus, building up rapport is important so that they will enjoy our class.

Yeah I agree because there are a lot of students who are forced into taking art because they cannot 'qualify' for other subjects like Maths or Science. Hence, they have NO interest at all in the subject and definitely wouldn't co-operate. Building a rapport with them is very important and I am still learning how to open up warmly towards them. Right now, I see myself as a very strict teacher. haha
