My First Model Lesson In KSA

         Last TUESDAY was my first  new model lesson in which I introduced a new game that I called "Rabbit Game". These are some clips of my lesson as I couldn't record all of it and was recorded by one of my dear colleagues, Mr Muhamad Abouda from Tunisia. It was honorable to be attended by the school principal, educational supervisor, elementary stage supervisor and vice-principal, English coordinator Mr Muhamad and some of my colleagues like Mr Abdel Nasser, Mr Mahmud and Mr Ebraheem.  

  

I hope you enjoy the lesson and game and don't forget to subscribe to my channel and leave a valuable comment.

Competition Race Game with Mr Hany

         Today with a new game which is called "Competition or Crocodiles Race".

In this video, I explained how to play this game with elementary pupils. In this game, the pupil is asked to pass between the chairs as they symbolize the crocodiles without touching them or he is obliged to start from the beginning again until he reach the board.Then, he tries to match pictures with their suitable words. Finally, he back again passing between chairs until he reach the end. All what I mentioned according to the countdown timer for 1 or 2 minutes. If the pupil didn't reach at the exact time or exceeded it, he will be a loser.

I hope you enjoy the game and don't forget to subscribe to my channel and leave a valuable comment.

Playing With Cards and Magnetics

     
        It's my first experience in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I teach grade two in the elementary stage. It was a fruitful try but here the level of most Saudi students is less than my students in Egypt in Al Shabab official language school which is my school six years ago.

       I hope you watch this video and tell me your opinions about it as they are very vital for me.

It is a game in which I put word cards of the school subjects on the board and their picture cards on a desk far from the two volunteers who are asked to match the word cards with their picture cards.

       I hope you enjoy this game.Thanks a lot for spending your time here on my blog.

See you later in other posts.

"EDpuzzle" A Magical Tool To Flip Your Classroom

The easiest way to engage your students with videos

pick a video, add your magical touch and track your students' understanding

           Hello! And welcome back dear colleagues. I  was really eager to see you again after a long time of interruption, but pardon me! It was out of my control as there was no internet here in my house. Finally, the school year is about to start next Sunday and the days of interest and excitement using my favourite tech-tools throughout my teaching of my beloved language English. Today is our appointment with a special guest which is EDpuzzle which is a magical video tool through which you can flip your teaching and engage your students accompanied by the formative assessment questions that stop the video when the student watches it. Really, it's wonderful and easy to try. To sum up, I hope you give this tool a try and you won't regret. Don't forget to pray for me and ask you the supplication for me. See you soon in the upcoming posts, bye-bye.

Here is an example complete watching this video and back again to show you how I made it.

The next screen shots are from my laptop. I hope you enjoy them.

The upcoming video is the Second one that I edited and added questions as a kind of formative assessment.

I hope you enjoy and SHARE it to all your friends to keep my blog up and continue my effort.

The Do’s and Don’ts for Teachers on Social Media Infographic

   There are millions of teachers on social media right now. They discuss professional, personal, and cultural things on a daily basis. But what are the best ways to make the most of your time on social networks? The Do’s and Don’ts for Teachers on Social Media Infographic presents a few best practices to keep in mind as you embrace the brave new world of social media for teachers.

Best Uses of Social Media

Do the following:

• Post updates and comments. If you’re in a public forum, keep it light and positive. If you can’t, keep quiet.
• Connect with colleagues with whom you feel safe. Don’t connect with colleagues you’re unsure about. Being friends with everyone isn’t part of the job description.
• Control your privacy settings. And keep up with the changes that Facebook makes to those privacy settings.
• Take care when posting pictures of others. If you tag a colleague, just think how you’d feel if they did the same to you.
• Disconnect from negativity. Unfriend or block those who continually blast you with negativity and trolling.
• Show what you’re proud of. Done something great? Let people know.

Worst Uses of Social Media

Avoid the following:

• Don’t follow your students on Facebook. Your intentions are innocent but there’s little to gain and much to lose.
• Don’t comment on status updates of your students, even if its positive, because you’ll either be criticising of showing favouritism. You can’t win.
• Think twice before you connect with parents on social media. In a small community it can be fine, but think twice before you do.
• Don’t drink and tweet or post. Comments made after a bottle has been opened never look so wise or amusing in the morning.
• Do not post party pictures off social media. if you lost dignity and it was photographed, don’t revisit the crime scene.
• Please don’t share the beach photos of anything with a state of undress. Those bikini photographs may look fabulous but will just cause comment.
• Don’t overpost. Don’t offer the world continuous updates on your activities.
• Do not post during work hours. It just doesn’t look good. Not even if it was scheduled.
