Spreading the news

 

Spreading the news

(Tune to "Selling the News" by Switchfoot)


Welcome to new web teaching, the online way

Interactivity is the new way of the day

An answer for pleas to get students engaged

We’re spreading the news

 

Collaboration is good in online groups

It cuts isolation, creates social presence

Creativity, critical thinking complement facts

We’re spreading the news

 

See, “read and discuss” is no longer best practice

Group work can teach deeper abstractness

Collaboration is far more impactful

We’re spreading the news

 

Add media content and add video

Students can discuss in their own audio

Include some images and pictures to show

We’re spreading the news


Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Achieve all you can conceive

Find what your seeking, bring it new meaning

 

Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Don’t do what was preceding,

The change is sweeping

Interaction is new online teaching

 

Constructivist teaching is what will unfold

Self-assessment, peer feedback shapes the mold

Creating good rubrics is the instructor’s role

We’re spreading the news

 

Pairs, triples, quads, group numbers you choose

Make students network, they’ve nothing to lose

Team charters will keep them less confused.

We’re spreading the news

 

Take part and believe it, take part and receive

Put media in between

Do critical thinking, knowledge is seizing

 

Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Weave media in between

Do role playing, do simulations

 

When giving feedback to peers

Instructor should make it clear

It must promote improvement

Give guidelines through rubrics

 

Interaction is new online teaching.

 

The roles of instructor are setting the stage,

Create environment, model the ways,

Guide the process and gauge the exchange.

We’re spreading the news

 

Stages of team development are clear

Some conflict is good, its not to be feared

To Rules of Engagement, they must adhere

We’re spreading the news

 

Time must be given for groups to work through stages of team growth, give more weeks than two

You’ll have better results when the products are due.

We’re spreading the news

 

Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Put media elements in between

go break the ceiling, bring it new meaning

 

Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Do practice in role-playing

do jigsaw teaching, add simulations

 

Take part and believe it, take part and achieve

Include case-studies in-between

Seeing is believing

 

Interaction is new online teaching

So Much Better

  So Much Better (Tune of “ So Much Better ” from Broadway play Legally Blonde ) All of this time I stressed and I felt depressed. I sat inside listless. I lost interest in the world and in a ball I curled. I went to sleep restless.   I started to exercise to stop feeling down. I used all of what I know. I put effort into this change I had to undergo   Whoa! What is this feeling that I feel? Is this slim body truly real? This mirror’s image, is that my visage? Someone pinch me to make sure.   I feel good when I run and hike. I am doing a routine that is right I’m feeling so much better than before.   Sadness, you have been a pest. Even my best was not keeping you back. Now it looks like I’ve found a cure. And now I so cherish this life hack. I’m on the attack.   I remember when I felt I would break. So, I worked out ‘til I sweat. Now I have a very sexy silhouette No regrets. I feel more mentally sharp. Life’s better with a stronger heart. I have energy. I’m...

Can You Hear the Birds Today

Can You Hear the Birds Today ( Tune of " Can You Feel the Love Tonight " by  Elton John ) In my restless moments, Of worry and care I seek out my lovely planet. I try to be aware.   I sit outside to rest. I breath refreshing air. It’s enough to help me be at ease. It feels just like a prayer.   Can you hear the birds today? Hear the eagle’s cry. The raptor’s call is calling out to me “See leaves against the sky.”   Will you walk beneath the boughs? In the cool moist air. When you feel gentle breeze blowing by On your skin so bare.   The four seasons come and go Moving at a creep. I know that the winter’s snow Puts the world to sleep.   The spring will come in season. To the wild outdoors. The summer sun brings much abundant growth. The fall produce is stored.   Can you sense the earth’s cycles? Time’s endless spiral. This blue-green world of oceans full of life. In a great circle.   Smell the pine trees on the hill. See the sun shine in. The ...

I Get Up Again

 I Get Up Again (Tune of " Tubthumping " by Chumbawamba) We’ll be singing, when achieving, hollering when…   Life knocks me down, I get up again. It’s never gonna keep me down. Life trips me up, but I right myself, it’s never gonna stamp me down. Life beats me up, but I come back again. It never will inhibit me. Life thumps me hard, but I scamper back. It’s never gonna stifle me.   Life can be really hard, life is a business. You’ve got some pricey bills, you’ve got to advertise. Your pay check reminds you of the good times. Your loved ones remind you of the best times. (Have some goals so, you can leave legacies)   Life pounds me down, but I return again It’s never gonna repress me. Life hite me hard, but I recoup again It’s never gonna conquer me. Life bangs me down, but I retake again It’s never gonna quash me down. Life bumps me down, but I restore again It’s never gonna subdue me.   Remember to buy cheap, remember to sell dear. To make good money, find...
