Task 2

"A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson."  John Henrik Clarke

This experience using the smartboard and the softwares related to it, was so new and nice. Once you learn how to use technologies you are able to let your imagination create amazing lessons for your students. That's the positive aspect of using these tools. On the other hand, there are many details to pay attention to. I've realized that is really important to learn well and practise a lot to avoid inconvenients. And that's not all, you also need to improve your skills in classroom management;if you are not able to get your students' attention, your supporting material takes a second place. 

The creation of the material is fun, but it takes a lot of time. On one side you have many options and tools to use and create a good lesson, but that could be done if you have a plenty of time available. After being able to do the microteaching, you realize which tool works better during the class and what your students like the most. Finally, as I mentioned before, the practise part is really important. That helps to improve the teaching skills; to manage the environment, the time of the activities, the kind of activities you could use, etc.
