Journal Entry 2: So, What’s Next? - Embracing Future Changes in Teaching with Evolving Technologies

In the rapidly changing landscape of educational technology, reflecting on the past and envisioning the future becomes crucial. Over my years in early childhood education, I have witnessed the transformative impact of technology in my classroom. As I ponder the future, especially considering the insights from the Edu cause New Horizons Report 2020, my vision for teaching in the next two, five, and ten years is shaped by the ongoing evolution of educational technology.

In the next two years, I plan to incorporate more technology into my classroom in the following ways:

  • Use educational apps and games to teach English vocabulary and grammar. There are many high-quality educational apps and games available that can help young children learn English in a fun and engaging way. I plan to use these apps and games in my classroom to help children learn new vocabulary words and grammar concepts.  
  • Use technology to create personalized learning experiences for each child. Technology can help me to assess each child's individual needs and create personalized learning experiences. For example, I could use a technology platform to create an individualized learning plan for each child, I could also use an AI-powered teaching platform to provide each child with real-time feedback on their English speaking and writing.

In the next five years, I see myself using even more advanced technologies in my preschool English teaching. For example, I may use virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to create immersive learning experiences for children. For example, I could use VR to take children on a virtual field trip to an English-speaking country. The children could explore the country and meet native English speakers. I may also use artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize learning even further.

In the next ten years, I believe that technology will have completely transformed preschool education. We may see the rise of virtual preschools, where children learn from anywhere in the world using VR and AR. We may also see the development of new AI-powered teaching tools that can help children learn English more effectively than ever before. However, with this speed of technology advancement, it’s hard to predict accurately what education landscape would look like in five, not to mention 10 years in the future.

My vision for the future of preschool English teaching is quite positive. It’s a future where technology is used to personalize learning, create immersive learning experiences, and make learning more fun and engaging. I believe that technology has the potential to revolutionize preschool education and help all children learn English effectively.

Module 6: Flipped Learning - Tools and Apps for Flipped Learning

Hình ảnh
 How did I feel? I feel hopeful about the potential of implementing flipped learning in my own classes thanks to the reading materials introducing different types of flipped learning as well as tools and apps for flipped learning implementation. What did I learn? Before learning this module, I though flipped learning equals  role-reversal 2.0 in which students and teachers' roles are flipped. Therefore, it would not be the best to be applied in Kindergarten context. However, after reading all required materials, I realized that t here are different types of flipped learning  and a few of them are applicable in my teaching context such as m icro-flipped classroom, group- based flipped, f aux-Flipped Classroom. Interestingly, I came to realize that I had been using group-based flipped classroom without knowing this is one kind of flipped classroom.  Compared to traditional way of teaching and learning, the roles of teachers and students are significantly different....

Module 5: Project-based Learning and Rubrics

  How did I feel after the lesson?  This module is Interesting and useful. There are some ideas regarding PBL (project-based learning) and creating rubrics cited in the reading materials that I am eager to modify and apply in my own teaching contexts. I'm particularly impressed with what the author wrote in the article "Less teaching and more learning". I myself have been doing such mini projects with my very young learners from time to time at smaller scales and of less complexity. However, I haven't successfully strung them together in an organized structures - connnecting the dots and I feel like I need to have a long-term goals for all projects that I will do with our students. In conclusion, the articles intrigued in me a lot of interesting ideas which, hopefully, will be materialized in all my daily practices. What did I learn? In terms of knowledge and skill I have better understanding about PBL as an approach to English teaching in which language is used as a ...

Module 1: Creating an academic blog

Hình ảnh
What have I learnt and what I have done in this module/ this course so far? To begin with, I learned that there are so many open sources available to me that can be used to improve my teaching and my students' learning. I believe if I look hard enough into 100 best ESL teachers blogs and websites , I would find answers to almost all questions facing me as an English teacher ranging from lesson planning to new trends in teaching English. I will soon take advantage of these resources and, more importantly, I hope I will start networking and being a part of the ELT global network working towards the goal of making life easier for all teachers. Fingers crossed! I already saved the link so that I'll have instant access in the future 😁 Secondly, I successfully created an academic blog named Kindergarten Life at https://fallinlovewithkindergarten.blogspot.com/ . Before joining this course, I intended to make an education podcast about teaching in kindergarten. However, due to my tigh...
