First Micro-Teaching : Feedback and Reflection

Micro-teaching lessons have set a small stage just to asses our performance as new teachers, and getting a feedback from our peers. Lesson planning and demonstration are the two main components of micro-teaching. According to my peers' views my lesson was well-planned, and and there was proper time management. Every one was involved in the lesson. However, my demonstration part needed some improvement. One of my peers said that she could not see properly while I was presenting the stress relieving tip, and I should have asked them to practice on their legs before they do it on someone Else's back. Being a teacher candidate, I found it very much useful and beneficial to know my weakness. All enjoyed the lesson, and found it very useful in their daily life.

I find micro-teaching to be an amazing activity, truly informative, creative and entertaining in such a short duration of time,as there is so much fun in learning small lessons. Micro-teaching provides an opportunity to explore the hidden talent of a person. We are able to show our abilities, and also get a chance to share our learning experiences with others. In a multi-cultural country like Canada, we got a chance to know some particular cultural activities of different cultures. I learned how to create the "best out of the waste." Learning how to  make use of chopstick wrappers was really informative. I also learned how to design a bobby pin with beads. The 10 - minute stress releaving exercises can do wonder. Another important outcome of micro-teaching is the opportunity for more interaction within in the classroom.
