Part 4. Assessment of Teacher Practice Videos (Pair Activity)




In the same pairs as Part 3, you will need to choose two videos to watch from the site http://www.timssvideo.com/. (It can be any two).

Video 1 – District 30 Toastmasters Spring 2017 Conference Stage Presence and Absence Edu Session


Video 2 – District 30 Toastmasters Spring 2017 Conference Social Media 101 Educational Session



Comparing the two videos, answer the following questions:


What did you like about the practice? Why?

Video 1 explains about stage focus, visual indicator, sense memory v/s rely on imagination. I learn how to draw audience attention by telling stories to people. Video 2, on the other hand, says a lot of interesting things about social media, most specifically, Twitter and Facebook. The host shows an example through video. I learn more how Facebook works when connecting twitter.

What did you not like about the practice? Why?

Video 1 is visually not clear, cannot recognise people’s faces. I felt lost about the video at first. It was funny when the host called 2 audience on stage but afterwards it was quite boring at some point.

Video 2 also is blur. It will be great if this was shown in practice instead of explaining verbally. It would be more active if the lady would show the details about twitter visually. This presentation is recent, in 2017, so it should be done by considering digital technology. Everyone had only paper. Laptops and tablets were missing with the audience. It was an old-fashion presentation. By explaining step-by-step in Facebook is difficult to follow. Very noisy video.


What theory(ies) of learning did the practice reflect? How was this demonstrated?
Video 1 – Polyvagal theory which was developed by Stephen W. Porges in April 2011, through decades of objective research. This theory offers powerful insights into the nature of stage presence in general and vocal communication in particular, including the visceral impact of voice on the listener.
Demonstrated – bring a man and woman in stage to explain the theory to the audience.


Video 2 – Signed Networks in Social Media by Jure Leskovec, Daniel Huttenlocher and Jon Kleinberg in March 2010. 

The articles explains about the relations between users on social media sites which "often reflect a mixture of positive (friendly) and negative (antagonistic) interactions. In contrast to the bulk of research on social networks that has focused almost exclusively on positive interpretations of links between people, we study how the interplay between positive and negative relationships affects the structure of on-line social networks". 

The analysis to theories of signed networks were connected from social psychology. The video demonstrated this theory by explaining about the connection of Facebook with Twitter and other social medias and a final evaluation from the audience.

Analysing any of the sessions we had in the autumn 2018 (by referring to the recordings). Choose a session where in addition to the Adobe Connect tool some other digital tools are used. In the second session where the topic was Implementation 1 - Focus on virtual/online teaching, groups made use of Power-Point for presenting, Padlet for discussions and Mind-map for describing more of a topic. In Topic 5: Competence in Research and Development, a group made use of Digital Newsletter which is an interesting concept of presenting the topic.

Positive Leadership (3 ECTS)

The first optional course that I had was: Positive Leadership (3 ECTS) At a professional and personal level, I think the understanding and application of positive leadership will build and maintain great relationships be it in the role of a teacher, wife, sister or daughter. By being a positive leader, one can lead with purpose and excellence, have a sense of optimism and positive vision. My professional background is in international business and being optimistic is considered an important attribute. My group activity performed during the course was Lego Building where i was in a group 1. we were 3 members in all in Group 1. We then gave Group 2 and Group 3 the challenge to build some animals and the teacher, Mrs Dana Linkeschova, had to identify the animals of both groups. The idea was to observe how group 2 and 3 started with the challenge and the ways they brainstormed. Other group activities that we performed during the class. Teachers are most of the

ABCs of Teaching in English (Pre-task)

ABC’s of Teaching in English (Pre-task) Teaching in English: a chore or a bonus? My experience using English in teaching. Using English language during my studies have always been the most comfortable language as in Mauritius, we learn English language from the age of 3 during the pre-primary school. Communicating in English is a must in all subjects apart from studying different languages such as French and Hindi. The national anthem of Mauritius is also in English language. While I have got the opportunity to choose the place where I can perform my teaching practice, I opted for a university where all teachings are done in English. The African Leadership University (ALU) is the institution where I am practicing my teaching and it has the head office in Rwanda. In ALU, students communicate in English with other students and with teachers. Having studied in England for around 3 years, it is comfortable for me to communicate in English and stay in such kind of e
