In my class, Creative Teaching Methods and Techniques, I required each of my student to demonstrate a skill, which they are familiar with. This is a teaching technique where it gave everyone equal opportunity to share something that is close to their heart without any lesson plan, bias or coercion.
The title of the activity we had was called The Learners' Market, each student was given around 20 minutes to present a skills they can be called as experts. They are to demonstrate such skill and for their classmates to replicate such skill.
The class was so engaged that each students was not only excited to learn but most important of all, the student teaching does not have any pressure since it was in a very informal setting. Such activity allows individual walls to be down and be engaged with the entire class. The center of learning was focused among the students with only supervision coming from the teacher.
As my class was busy doing their stuff, I, myself was busy honing my skill on film, which I do not know if they have notice such. I filmed each of their presentation and created a short clip of what they have presented using the iMovie app of my iPad.
It was a fun experience for my students but it was also a fun learning experience for me. I believe in learning by doing as a core teaching methodology as influenced by the Scouting Movement in my life. It gave me a opportunity to practice filming and editing video that resulted to wonderful movie projects. I believe my skill on this has leveled up.
Lastly, I am still thinking whether breathing exercises is really a skill, which according to my student is... I am not convinced. :D
