On the 1st November 2013 I had delivered my second micro-teach session to my peer group. Whilst preparing the session I was a little apprehensive about this micro teach as we were not allowed to deliver any of our lesson via PowerPoint. I was initially very concerned about this as PowerPoint is my preferred method of delivery. However, upon reflecting upon my first micro teach I noted that the main criticism was my over reliance on the PowerPoint presentation. So after a deal of deliberation I decided that removing the PowerPoint could potentially improve my teaching skills.
Therefore, I decided to incorporate the video of Jane Elliott’s a class divided experiment which would then lead on to a class debate about the subject matter. Due to technical issues within the University I was unable to deliver the session as I intended. Therefore, because of the issues, I had to adapt my session on the spot without the resources I had intended to utilise. In order, to get around this issue whilst ensuring that the learning objectives were met I relied the information by delivering a didactic lecture which was followed by a class discussion.
After reflecting upon this experience, I have realised that as technology can be very unreliable you should always have a backup plan. In fact the term not putting all your eggs in one basket springs to mind
