Or, would you rather think face-to-face sessions alone have the same power to keep students and teachers in touch in such a way as to start professional e-projects together after the classroom door closes?<br /><br />If you'd like to share the answer with us, we will be more than happy to chat with you and all the attendees interested in having an interactive relaxed paired-up webinar.

Learning to micro teach in pairs

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On 20 October 2014, Tauseef Farook and myself were</span><span style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> invited to a series of <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/2163964-micro-teaching-on-wiziq" target="_blank">micro-teaching sessions</a> to learn how to deliver a micro-teaching lesson. Tauseef and I had never met before but we were both attending this live session at <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/2163964-micro-teaching-on-wiziq" target="_blank">WizIQ</a>, hosted by Dr. Nellie Deutsch, from <a href="http://www.wiziq.com/IT4ALL" target="_blank">IT4ALL</a>. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The session was part of a series of live lessons in preparation to be able to teach online, in pairs; an <a href="https://www.wiziq.com/tutorial/842252-microteaching-getting-started" target="_blank">e-training initiative</a> starting in November 2014, fostered by IT4ALL at WizIQ. </span><br /><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was an amazing experience, as it clearly showed the beauty of virtual professional life. How could you meet other teachers from the other end of the world and get ready to teach with them, apart from online? No other way! That’s the perfect added value of online teaching.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The session started with an overall introduction by the host, and then the attendants were just paired up to practice in breakout rooms for 15 minutes.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">During that quarter of an hour, Tauseef and I discovered quite a few things about each other and discussed about challenges and benefits of micro teaching in pairs, as well as resources to acccomplish that type of teaching successfully. That was the proposal. After that time, we were taken back to the main room where the rest of the session was taking place.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And this is how Tauseef and I met, first time ever, and we discovered that both of us are ESL teachers, into ICT, and love our profession. We very quickly decided that one would tip at the chat room while the other would write conclusions on the whiteboard. That was the first outcome of micro-teaching in pairs: agreement! </span><br /><div><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, we are inviting you to have a look at our tips and conclusions, drafted in 15 minutes by two teachers who had not even known of the existence of each other until 20 October 2014. </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Isn’t it awesome? I thought it was fully enjoyable and inspiring! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="299" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1b9l639hXVQV1hFURFBpmkiTNGx_03R_WFwWuliPwf5w/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="480"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">So, first, the challenges to micro teach in pairs: reaching agreements, having a mind to bring together our different approaches. Finding a common topic to teach. Finding common time together, skipping time zones and so on, to plan, schedule, create, and so forth, and finally, finding a good way to engage and motivate learners in our online paired up lessons.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The benefits of micro teaching in pairs are quite obvious: team work is better, and richer than single teaching. Two minds are bound to produce double work than one. The workload is shared, so it runs more smoothly and we can support each other, putting into the lesson the best skill each one has.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from that we can encourage each other if one might feel down and build the confidence for weak points to get stronger.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>As regards resources to get ready for micro teaching in pairs and presenting, Google drive is a good option, to edit and create together, as it does not matter where you are based, you can still work together as if it were real time. That leads us to the design of presentations, tutorials and so forth inside our common Drive. And, finally, offering students real life situations, like the one we have just lived, is a good chance to make them understand the value of that being taught.</div><div><div><br />Thanks a million for your attention and to Dr. Nellie for the chance of finding each other and enlarging our professional teaching community.<br /><br /><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/03ttsoGyhGQ?rel=0" width="560"></iframe> <br /><div><br /></div><div>Now, on <b>24 October</b>, we feel ready to present our conclusions to the world. Come and join us!</div></div><div><br /></div><div><h1 class="heading_class" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 26px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/2163978-micro-teaching-on-wiziq" target="_blank">Micro Teaching Sessions on WizIQ: Teaching in a Live Virtual Class</a></span></h1></div><div><br /></div></div></div>
