Comments for Group1
I was so impressed by the self-made video of group1. It seems that the rest of groups may undergo some kind of pressure from such good presentation of group1.
I did think the teaching skills shown by group1 presented an important trait of teaching, attraction. However, I still have some suggestion for group1 and the rest of groups, including ours. Creation in teaching strategy does play an important role, yet we should allow for the different type of students that we encountered. Take the presentation of G1 for example, though playing game is fun for most students, we need to have all the students of the class in hand. Namely, while some are playing, some should also have things to do at the same time. Then it would not make some students feel bored.
At last, I still like what the G1 has shown for us. I hope our group could have the same great presentation for the class, even better.

Yes, the video was very impressive and it became very good teaching resources. Teaching aides aside, we need to have a clear instructional design, which would take into account many different aspects of a lesson. Take games for example. We do hope our learners to learn things when they have fun at the same time. Therefore, it’s important to engage everyone in the game so that they can be part of the learning activity.
We witness the power of teaching aides in Group One’s presentation. Making good use of technology, teaching can be more effective than ever. However, technologies pose new threats and challenges to teachers. And it might be more time-consuming in the beginning. Teachers need to have enough IT literacy to handle the new tools well. Most of all, we might need to change the teaching strategies when new elements are added, or it might lead to an undesirable result. That’s something we need to keep in mind.
