A Peer Tutoring Tool Box: Whats Available?
A Peer Tutoring Tool Box: What's Available?Being a teacher can be an effective teaching process if you are able to keep an open mind about developing your own peer tutoring tool box. Even though many teachers use the same resources for teaching to students, there are a variety of alternative resources available to you. In this article, I will discuss some of these.One of the most common ways that teachers use is the digital distance learning resource. Most students do not have access to a computer at home or in the classroom. Digital distance learning means that the student does not need a computer in order to access their online course. The student just needs a compatible Internet enabled device such as a laptop or tablet. This allows them to access the digital learning program at any time of the day and at any location.Students can interact with others through chat rooms, social media platforms, blogs, forums, and even video conferences. What I like best about this type of teaching method is that it allows students to have a group of other students who are all competing with each other for the attention of the teacher. The competition can be expressed through grades and participation in many other ways.Online course based on a particular subject can also be used as a teaching tool. For example, if you teach an English class, you could use the same tools that your students use when writing essays. You could use your students' writing as a forum for feedback on their work.Another popular method that you can use for individual or group instruction is the use of quizzes. What I like about quizzes is that you can vary the type of questions that you ask to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your students. It is a great way to identify what type of information is lacking from the course. This helps you identify a problem with the course that you can address in the future. One more teaching technique that is not commonly used is a two-way feedback session. This works by allowing students to ask you questions about your lesson and getting back answers. Sometimes, they may not want to engage in the feedback session, but if they do not understand why you did something in your lesson, they will be less likely to get an answer the next time. For this reason, this feedback technique can be especially helpful.As you can see, there are a variety of different teaching techniques that you can use to help make sure that you are giving your students the best possible opportunity to learn. Whether you are new to the world of teaching or an experienced teacher, there are several different types of peer tutoring tool boxes that you can use.
