各位教授,我好無聊! AhaSlides 可以幫您做得更好!

教育

Want to know what students think of your lessons? As a current university student, I’ve been to boring lectures after boring lecture, where the professors rarely attempt to engage with their students. I often walk away thinking, “What did I learn? Was that worth it?”

我參加過的最有用的講座是由真正希望他們的學生學習和享受自己的教授講授的。 我最喜歡的教授使用各種工具來吸引學生,因為他們 知道 當學生積極參與時,他們 學習 the material. AhaSlides’ incredible features make it so easy for you to become one of these thoughtful and exciting teachers. 

What’s one of the biggest fears as a teacher? Using technology in the classroom? Ditch this fear and embrace it – you can turn these distracting devices into your greatest teaching assets. 

With AhaSlides, your students can search your customized presentation code on any smart-device. And, BOOM they are immediately connected with your current slide and can interact in many different ways. Students can even react to the slide by liking, disliking, questioning, smiling, or any other reaction you choose to include or not.

I’ll go over the following features you can connect with your students below: 

  • 互動測驗 
  • 多項選擇/開放式幻燈片
  • 詞云
  • Q&A

互動測驗

I used to panic when I heard the word “QUIZ” in school – but if I knew it was an AhaSlides quiz, I would have been so excited. Using AhaSlides, you can create your own interactive quiz to share with your students. Sit back and watch as your students become intrigued when real-time results come in from their devices. In addition, you can choose to make it an anonymous quiz. That way, students can focus on the learning and not whether or not they get the answers right. Or, introduce some friendly competition and show their names so they can race to the top of the leaderboard. 

Me when the Professor doesn’t use AhaSlides

這是一個很好的工具,可以激發競爭行動,讓學生走出困境,他們將享受友好的競爭。 

多項選擇和開放式

教授通常會進行冗長的演講,並希望學生全程關注。 這永遠行不通,我會知道。 為什麼不嘗試成為一位令人難忘的教授並鼓勵觀眾參與?

Try AhaSlides’ Multiple Choice or Open-ended slides that prompt students to answer questions on their phone! You can ask them a question on what they read the night before, a detail from the homework, or things just explained in the presentation.

我的賭注是派對

Not only will your students be actively engaged, but they will also retain the correct answer. The brain recalls information easier when it’s introduced in varying ways. For example, if your student remembers that they got a particular fact wrong in your presentation, they will make new neuron connection and distinctly remember the correct answer. This is why people study in different environments or chew a particular brand of gum, so information can be recalled based off of where they were sitting or a flavor they connect to it.

詞云

A great tool by AhaSlides is the Word Clouds feature. This can be used in many different contexts, and be a great tool for those visual learners in your class. Professors can use it to ask for suggestions, to describe a character or concept, or take-aways from the lesson.  

還有其他方法可以引起學生的注意

例如,您可以通過提示詢問學生他們對昨晚的閱讀作業的看法,詢問他們對某個角色、事件或情節線的看法。 如果人們提交相同的詞,該詞在詞云中會顯得更大。 這是一個很好的對話啟動器,也是一種讓每個人都發聲的方式,即使是身後害羞的孩子也是如此。 

Q + A

Do you ever get blank stares at the end of a lesson? Or when you ask if anyone has questions? You know for a fact that some students haven’t understood the lesson, but they won’t speak up! Create a question slides where students can write in questions either anonymously or with their name. You can choose to vet the questions on your screen before they’re displayed or have them pop up in real-time. This will allow you to see if many people have the same questions or more specific ones. This amazing tool can show you where the cracks are in your lesson and help you improve!

我最喜歡的功能

This is my favorite tool because there are so many times where I’m too scared to participate in class. I don’t want to stand up in front of a hundred students and ask a question that might make me look dumb – but I know for a fact other people have the same question.

I can’t wait to use AhaSlides this upcoming school year, and I hope some of my professors read this article and 也用這個工具。 我有沒有提到它也是免費的?
