Class Management

Classroom management is important thing that we should pay attention beside we have to prepare the interesting ways for teaching productive and receptive skills in English. Classroom management involves the teacher, the learner, classroom environment, etc.

There are many technology tools in the internet that can help teachers to improve their classroom environment, such as Engrade as gradebook, teach-nology for making lesson plan, scheduleonce and doodle for scheduling, quizstar and classmarker for creating quiz, etc.

When I am asked to choose three of the tools that are given in session 13. First, I choose http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/lesson_plan/  to help me make online lesson plan. I choose this tool because it provides simple way to make lesson plan, at least I know what I should do in my class with the goals, materials, objectives, and the assessment on a day, and what activities I should do in my class. I choose this tool because it is easy, clear, and simple to use.

Second, I choose http://www.scheduleonce.com/  to manage my important dates, such as when I have to come to the class, when students will have test, when I have such meeting, etc. For teaching learning process, I will use this tool to remind me the dates when I should give the test for my students, such as final exam, middle test, also the day and the time when I have to come to the class to teach them. This tool will help me remember my job as a teacher although there are other activities that I have. 

Third, I will use QuizStar (http://quizstar.4teachers.org/ ) as the media to give quiz for my students. QuizStar has some advantages such as allow students to complete and review, make quizzes in multiple language, attach multimedia file to the questions, etc. I will use this media to make the quiz interesting for students. I can use it for integrated skill quiz.
