We’ll do everything for students and for their kindness

       We,Georgians are the kind of people,who are jealous. We prefer to  teach and learn,live and even have relations with traditional,tried and experienced methods… But the life is movable,everything is changing and developing…The generations are also changing and they have different demands,ideology, purposes,interests and aspirations… It’s certainly necessary for such a small nation as we are to preserve and take care of our traditions and customs, but nobody can go against global changes and even we aren’t exception. It’s great difference between disclaiming the changes those destroy  the nation and disregarding the things,those can be propitious for the better education of our new generation.

The first purpose of the teacher is to give his or her student education and vital skills and abilities. It was always so and it’s  the same nowadays. The generation of the 21^st century is quite different. The time is the same for all nations no matter he(she) is Georgian, Chinese,English or the representative of other country.

Nowadays we often hear the discussion about the necessity of the lessons whose are full of technologies. Discussing teachers,discussing adults,discussing parents,but no one asks to those who are connected with this process. The students have no means to include in these discussion,and they can learn better with the help of these technologies. I say it because of my experience. I’m active teacher and also the trainer of Microsoft and the innovator-expert teacher of Microsoft and I have to conduct a lesson and use these technologies at the same time, to relate with my colleagues and share my experience and technological news. Experienced and new teacher both are evaluated for how effectively they plan the lesson and what’s the result and technologies helps us to reach these goals. All teacher have desire to conduct modern lesson but he (she) is afraid of news,computer,because he (she) don’t know how to use computer. I think nothing is impossible,they can learn it from their colleagues,from their students.It takes some time to prepare lesson,but we also prepare when we conduct lesson with the use of traditional methods.

Nowadays Microsoft offer us a lot of educational programs and it is not difficult to learn these ones. For example the programme for presentation named Sway which became popular within the Georgian teachers after the short-term trainings.

I want to offer you one of my lessons as a model and I hope you will conduct your lesson better and reach your goals.

I can’t use these technologies in all of my classes with the same intensity, but in classes where I often use such technologies,I have better results. There are more or less equipped  computer rooms in all schools,but we can’t change anything if we don’t use these technologies in the process of  teaching. It is important to use them if you want your students to develop the following abilities:

●  Collaboration  ;

●  To solve problems in real life;

●  To be creative;

●  Self-regulation;

●  Critical thinking…

It is always difficult to learn new theme. The form of lecture is not common nowadays. New generation can perceive specific effects very well: movable pictures, adjustable spheres, but if we don’t  enrich them with information – music and suitable illustrations,we can’t reach our goal. After the use of the technologies for special purpose,the students:

●  Can co-operate with each other out of school with the use of digital technologies,exchange their ideas and opinions;

●  Are becoming self-confident;

●  Like to teach with online resources;

●  Can have a discussion about the things they research;

●  Learn not only from books but also with the help of other resources;

●  Are becoming more educated and prepared for their future ilfe…

As I mentioned above I want to offer the plan of my lesson full of technologies:

The theme of the lesson:  Romanticism – The main direction of  the XIX century;

The reason of the lesson:  To deepen students’ knowledge about romanticism as

                                                 the main direction in literature of the XIX century;

The problem of the lesson:  To feel beauty by use of imitative and musical art, to compare the culture of different countries and watch the  development of romanticism in Europe.

Possible results and useful resources:

● To develop the capacity for reding and listening;

● The experience of working with the use of different sources such as : dictionaries, encyclopaedias, internet;

● To search the decisions of solving problems and regulating information.

Useful resources: screen,projector,computer (note-book),sound amplifier.

I start lesson with the presentation.

Title slide is used to create student’s motivation that would increases their expectations;

The formulation of problems of the lesson:

●  What are your associations about the theme of our lesson (Romanticism) ?

●  How did you feel after you’ve read the short part from the poem written  

     by Baratashvili?

●  What does ‘Romanticism’ mean? (They search definition in dictionaries and 

    Encyclopaedias)

Work on presentation

Slide N1  Discuss and analysis of  Baratashvili’s  strophe;

˷ Talk about the mood of yhis strophe;

˷ What do you know about  ‘Romanticism?’

˷  Which artistic elements are used and  what kind of rhyme is this strophe

    written with?

Slide N2  The history of how to  fecundate  and appear ‘Romanticism’.

A small lecture about romanticism:

Talk about the reproduction of the picture of German painter. Analysis of the text.

Answer the questions:

● Why does the picture provoke such impression?

● What  is the main idea of the name of picture?

The next stage – Go on with the slide show (Slide N3), where the reproductions of Fridrikh are exchanging each other with the music of Vagner  (From opera ‘Valkiria’).

We’ll receive answers of the question on screen: Which charecteristics of romanticism do the music of Vagner and the reproductions of Fridrikh include? (Presumable answers:  the feeling of exciting,silence,solitude…)

After that we’ll open covered Slide (N9) and students are writing the main charecteristics of romanticism

Slide N4 – Analysis of the slide in their own work books

After that we’ll use N 5, 6, 7,8  Slides, those help them to know about the romanticists of other countries. The demonstration goes with the music of Shubert (composer-romanticist) (the part of music N3 for piano) and Shopen. Musical mounting helps students to perceive new information.

After that they’re writing a small essay,do reflexion and at the and we’ll give them home work.

Estimation	Reflexion	Home work
Writing:  Feeling and  human (After presentation in note-books or by heart )	What did I learn? How did the technologies help me to learn new information? How can I use these information?	With the use of internet  resources create the presentation, which will clearly indicate the main idea of romanticism

The advice for  the teachers to logically  pass the following lesson

The next theme - «Romantic lyrics at the beginning of the 19^th century». We’ll strengthen students’ knowledge about romanticism. At the beginning of the lesson the students will introduce their home works and we’ll check how did they cope new information.

Good luck!
