Social media workshop with Irmeli Pietilä

City Tour withLarse and Suvi

It was very beneficial week because there had been some important successful different tasks had been done. The class had been taught by two teachers; Katri and Merja. This way of teaching, was something new to me, so I liked it because I did not feel bored. They used some very exiting activities, like the game of having participants match the main important features of the four learning theories, they already had taught us. Also, I liked using the metaphor in ice breaking activity they had used. They both are cooperative teachers.

Social media was one of the most crucial teaching tools which I like very much. Irmeli and her useful classes will contribute to my teaching strategies. For instance, the provided social media list, making Gmail, creating a blogger and using it, making learning groups, and posting texts or images through the blogger. Really, we need to use most of the social media.

There had been a wonderful day with Larse and Suvi in the city tour. After we all had gathered in the train station, we went in a city tour and we visited many important places. It was very important for my because I could recognize the directions of the city and find the important places that I might need to visit, especially for shopping. I had seen some important places in the city. City tour is very important for new visitors.
