    Best of my students

    Byevasimkesyan January 30, 2010

    Glogster has become a very popular tool with my students. They loved it and used it very often. It is a great tool and I believe it enhances their creativity because of that I often assign projects with glogsters.I think glogster is great because they can add text, image and sound and then they can…

    Snowball fights

    Byevasimkesyan January 26, 2010

      When we feel that students are bored, we tend to change the pace and move to a more energising activity. This one is something like that. However, I use it as a gap filler or an fun activity after I introduce the new topic. It sounds a bit childish, though it always works with…

    The power of feedback

    Byevasimkesyan January 22, 2010

    In the early years of my teaching I was not sure if I was able to achieve my goals as a teacher then I started getting feedback from them at the end of the year. Until a group of students wrote how I failed that year and actually it was too late to do anything….

    I’m thrilled

    Byevasimkesyan January 15, 2010

    Yes, I’m soooo thrilled that some of my students have been doing great jobs on their own on the blogosphere. This year we read The Great Gatsby with grade 11. They had to prepare a project trying to relate a topic with all the lessons they were taking. As they were the language department students, we…

    Goal: What’s Your Personal Theme Song?

    Byevasimkesyan January 9, 2010

    When I read Shelly Terrell’s post, I immediately wanted to write about my personal theme song. It was actually something that I wanted to do after I assigned my students with mini projects but having lots of things to do, I just put the idea back to one of the shelves in my brain and now…

    Let’s rock our classrooms

    Byevasimkesyan January 7, 2010

    The idea is an inspiration from a student of mine who added a comment on the class blog to the link I added there and Ken Wilson’s asking on twitter if there were any Elvis fans out there and then I thought ‘yay, I have  great ideas for the first lesson of the new decade. We…

    Not Web 2.0 yet GR8

    Byevasimkesyan January 5, 2010

    Blogging and twitter enabled me to reach numerous magnificent resources and links. They were mostly related with technology. I remember the day when I discovered cooltoolsforschools, I was like a child who recieved lots of great toys at her birthday. I was speechless and I wanted to use all of them. Days passed and I learned more. I…

    PLN, this is 4 U…

    Byevasimkesyan December 22, 2009

    This year was different. Now I feel much better. I know I’m a  good teacher. (that’s what my husband calls me) However, I thought I was stuck somewhere trying to motivate myself. I was thinking I was tired. (may be needed a break) I was thinking I needed praise. (my students often wrote thank you notes…

    The simplest tool of all

    Byevasimkesyan December 20, 2009

    I’m sure we sometimes finish the lesson before the planned time or we see that our students are lost and aren’t following us then we tend to find something to motivate them. It’s always a good idea to have something ready for these moments. Fillers are great. They are short, energising and motivating. Whenever I…
