A commonly-held view maintains that lecturers are ineffective and anachronistic exercise in
information. But there are value of them. They can summarize the latest research; synthesis

and compare large bodies of information; translate and explain concepts and theories to

particular audiences; allow you to present yourself as an intellectual model for students
(inspire them): and help the lecturer become more knowledgeable.

Remember that lecturing is a physical and visual performance, not just an intellectual .
Master the physical and visual aspects. Craft your persona, what character are you playing?.
Learn how to land your energy in the classroom. Use movement and gesture to signify shift

and point of emphasis. Use the right vocal emphasis, e.g. put the emphasis at the end of your

sentences. Use visuals and multimedia to complement the performance but be cautious with

ENGANGETHESTUDENTS

Lecturing should not be purely unilateral. Students should engage with the material.
You should encourage students to take e notes, to summarize and explain the material

students to discus, then solicit responses and pose follow-up questions. Use

then answer and explain in groups – test their knowledge and understanding to

Padlet is an online virtual “bulletin” board
that allow the students and lecturer to reflect
and share ideas and picture. It's like a piece of
paper, but on the Web.

ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO – TEACHING METHODS, BLENDED LEARNING, PADLET Padlet account Uses for Padlet in your classroom could be
endless, but here are a few ideas to get started:

1. Book Reviews: For classrooms reading
books such as The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finnor The Great Gatsby, Padlet offers a
great venue for students to share their
thoughts. Young people can highlight
favorite quotes, ask questions, discuss
characters and more. Teachers can then
take the page and present it in class to
spark continued face-to-face discussion.

2. Topic Summary: Useful for any subject
from math to earth science, Padlet can
help teachers summarize a large amount
of information and present it in a visually
pleasing way. Educators can put in text,
photos, graphs and other learning tools
and share the image with students before a
big test or discussion.

3. Greeting Cards or "Thank You"
Wall: Have you had a speaker come in
recently to share his/her knowledge on a
particular subject? Or did a famous author
come in and read his/her latest book?
Padlet is a great tool for sending a group
"thank you" note. Each student can post
an individual message, and the platform
offers many interesting designs and other
tools for personalizing the card.

4. Questions Board: Students can access a
"questions" board 24/7 and anonymously
post questions. The teacher can then read
off and answer the questions each day.

5. Opinion/Forum: Educators can post a
particular topic or issue, and students can
post their opinions on the subject. This is a
great building block for teaching students
how to write opinion pieces or persuasive
essays.

Why “role play”…?

Role playing is a learning structure that
allows students to immediately apply
content as they are put in the role of a
decision maker who must make a
decision regarding a policy, resource
allocation, or some other outcome. This

technique is an excellent tool for

engaging students and allowing them to
interact with their peers as they try to
complete the task assigned to them in
their specific role. This work can be
done in cooperative groups and/or
students can maintain the persona of
their role throughout the class period.

Students are more engaged as

they try to respond to the material from
the perspective of their character.

How does it works…?

Offer a relevant scenario to

students which include the role the
student must play, the informational
details relevant for decision making in
this role, and a task to complete based
on the information. Give students five to

ten minutes to complete the task.

Students might have to do this alone or
in small groups or follow the think-pair-
share format in which students work
individual and then discuss their results
with their partner. Find a way to

process student deliberations.

Students might be ask to write their
replies to submit or this might be a very
good lead in to a larger class discussion
where students can justify their
differing outcomes or opposing views.

ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO – STUDENT ACTIVITIES, ROLE PLAYpg.89

role play is a technique that allows students to explore

realistic situations by interacting with other people in a

managed way in order to develop experience and trial different

strategies in a supported environment. Depending on the
intention of the activity, participants might be
playing a role similar to their own (or their likely
on in the future) or could play the opposite part of
the conversation or interaction. Both options provide the

possibility of significant learning, with the former allowing experience
to be gained and the later encouraging the student to develop on
understanding of the situation from the “opposite” point of view.

STUDENT

I used role play technique in FEM 3312: SOCIAL
DEMOGRAPHY class. Students are given particular roles to play
in a conversation or other interaction. The students will then
act out based on the scenario given and afterwards
there will be reflection and discussion about the

interactions, such as alternative ways of dealing with the situation.
The scenario can then be acted out again with changes on the outcome
