Meet Viljo Kohonen, Finn Professor at Tampere University 1280 x 720)

Teacher as a researcher

Professor Viljo Kohonen, a
retired University Professor of Education shares his work in this video as teacher
as researcher and more.

He says that a teacher might be a curious person about his/ her work and
reflective too; a person who has to work against evaporation. From my point of
view our work as teachers demands us to be updated and to be “eternal students”.
So I agree with Professor Kohonen. The man also suggests that in order to
explore his work a teacher should record analyze it.

Professor Kohonen mentions the idea of finding “camaderie”, “collegiability”
with our colleages. Working as teachers we sometimes isolate ourselves. It means that we
tend to work on our own and this is not advisable. Sometimes busy schedules and
running out of time cause that kind of situation. In this video, we can find
that empowerment comes from trust and from sharing with other teachers as well. It takes little time and it is very useful. We just have to make an effort and have the desire to improve.

Numbers song! Enjoy and learn

Enjoy with numbers! The Singing Walrus presents "Number song 1-20 for children" - an upbeat chant that helps kids count the numbers 1-20. The kids all count from 1-20 together three times, each time counting faster than the previous. This is perfect for preschool aged children, and for young learners of ESL and EFL! Today I had a whole class devoted to numbers with my first group of kids. They are about 8-9 years old and they attend to private lessons in order to be prepared to start their English lessons at school in two years time. I projected the following video I found in Youtube and the students really loved it! The first time they sang it timidly. However, the second and third time they louded their voices in chorus. They laughed because the song increased it speed so we had to sing it twice. I recommend the video for you and your students in case you need to revise them! I also prepared some activities such as sums, unscramble th...
