Teaching using Nearpod

I do my first teaching experience last week.
I used Nearpod as my application of teaching. The lesson is about Capital letter and apostrophe. Capital letter and apostrophe are very important in writing, without them a writing could be confusing.
My lesson is for 5th grade. Even though that capital letter and apostrophe sound easy, it's turn out that people still got confused about it. For example, for capital letter, you should be capitalized every planets' names, but not for sun, earth, and moon, but you should capitalize it if it has "The" at the in front.Without the capital letter, it could be confusing for the reader. For example, surnames that have other meaning, like Brown, Lake, etc.
For apostrophe, words that have -s/-es at the end of the word usually have plural meaning. Apostrophe also puts -'s to show that something belongs to someone. So, for example, a word like "Boys", it a plural form of "Boy". To show that the "Boys" have something, you put an apostrophe. Not "Boys's" but "Boys'", why? Because you don't put -s if the word ended with s.
By learning this, I hope that students understand it and do it in their writing.
The steps of my lesson:
1. I prepared my Nearpod presentation

2. I greeted my student and told what we were going to learn.
3. I clicked live option on my presentation and showed the CODE of my lesson.

4. After everybody joined, I started my lesson with a simple quiz to know where my students' understanding stand.


5. Then, I played a video about the capital letter and showed the rules.
6. Then, I have an exercise about it and discuss it after everyone done.

7. I moved to apostrophe by giving examples and rules.
8. I also have an exercise about it.

9. I ended my lesson, by giving homework from British counsel.

The feedback that I get:
1. At first, I said that this is for 1st grade, but I was told that my lesson it too hard for the 1st grade and it more fitted for 5th grade.
2. I don't have the opening quiz at first and Ms, Pramastiwi it would be better to an has opening quiz.

  2. Hei, I like how you make the explanation so clearly defined. But, just a suggestion.. it might be better for you to make your sentences into parts of paragraphs, so that the readers can read more comfortable. I guess overall you did well and you've grown better. Glad you did, Jovi!

  3. Hi Jov! Neat came across in my mind when I saw your blog. In black background and white sentences, which is easy for me to read. You explain step by step in here, which is great for people who didn't know about nearpod. It's good to comment here again, it's been a long time right? Hahaha well then, that's all for my comment. Good job Jov!

Flipped Classroom

Hai, everyone! Have you heard about flipped classroom? A flipped classroom is a technique which teachers, mostly outside Indonesia, used to teach their children. Like its name, it is contrasted from Indonesian classroom do where students learned the subjects at school and do the assignment at home, but flipped classroom students learn the subject and got the assignment at home by video, and do the assignment at school. It is not common at Indonesia school, so probably many of you never experience it. Neither do I. To be honest, I don't know if flipped classroom will effective at Indonesia schools. It mostly because students will have a hard time to customize with the new teaching, but it would possible for elementary students, which mean should be applied to new students. It sure makes teacher's job easier and hard at the same time. It easier because they don't need to explain it again at school or students has something to do when they didn't come, but also it mak...
