Teaching Tools
Learning is more powerful and dynamic with tools that
are already right in front of you – and it’s up to educators
to impress this on students in the classroom. When you
bring real things and authentic daily- life situations into the
classroom, listening becomes discovering, interest becomes
wonder, and passive learning becomes
active exploration.
Lessons come to life with touch, motion, and sound.

2-Teaching Aids
Definition:
A teaching aid is a tool used by the teacher as a facilitator to the process of teaching and learning inside the classroom. It is one of the means by which we, as teachers bring life into the theoretical texts by bringing environment inside the classroom indirectly. Also, it is a means of personification to the concrete texts in the students' books. The final purpose remains as a means of relating teaching with the environment that students live in and communicate with.
A teaching aid is a means of bringing environment into class to give life to theoretical learning. It is a means to involve learners physically, mentally, emotionally and environmentally. A teaching aid can involve the learners physically through using his senses and acting, mentally through using his mind and thinking, emotionally through his excitement and environmentally through looking at pictures that express the daily life we live. Have you wondered what a teacher is? He is an audio-visual aid of teaching.
Teaching Aids.
They include:
(Cards, Charts, grids, Pictures, Drawing, photos, magazines, worksheets, mind-mapping. Technology, Video, digital material, data show, CDs, Electronic program, Dictionary, Websites, the computer, the internet, E-Book, Intelligent board, Blackboard, Realia, actual fields, Real situations, Online Dictionaries, Graffic Organizers, virtual tours of their latest exhibits,The real daily environmental things......
Importance :
1) Motivation
Teaching aids motivate the students so that they can learn better.
2) Clarification
Through teaching aids , the teacher clarify the subject matter more easily.
3) Discouragement of Cramming
Teaching aids can facilitate the proper understanding to the students which discourage the act of cramming.
4) Increase the Vocabulary
Teaching aids helps to increase the vocabulary of the students more effectively.
5) Saves Time and Money
Teaching through using aids takes a shorter time than traditional teaching that depends on lecturing and more repetition from the side of the teacher. There will be no need to re-explain the lesson once more, as the learners have learnt the content through using all their senses and emotion. Here, money is saved.
6) Classroom Live and active
Teaching aids make the classroom live and active.
7) Avoids Dullnes
Teaching
aids make the lesson interesting and the learners more interested.
Learners see the set-book text pictures andphotographs speaking and
acting.
1-Traditional Teaching Aids:
The only method of teaching here, is the
wooden blackboard and the chalk to write with. Perhaps, the teacher uses
flash cards and wall sheets in very few lessons and the purpose is for
show not for knowledge or teaching. The role of technology is
restricted to enabling the learners to visit the lonely school
computer laboratory, once a month and that is also for show.
Examples:
Here are some examples of teaching aids:
2-) Active Teaching Aids:
In active learning, both the teacher and the learners can use
electronic learning programs like The Sage program,
The Hot Potatoes
program, The lingoes program,
The Celestia program, Jing program,
Free-Mid map
program , Chemistry crocodile program and the
electronic
lesson plan for the teacher.
Kinds of active teaching aids:
. Visual Aids
. Audio Aids
. Audio - Visual Aids
1) Visual Aids
The
aids which use sense of vision are called Visual aids.
For example :-
actual objects, models, pictures, charts, maps, flash cards, flannel
board, bulletin board, chalkboard, overhead projector, slides etc. Out
of these black board and chalk are the commonest ones.
2) Audio Aids
The aids that involve the sense of hearing are called Audio aids. For example :- radio, tape recorder, gramophone etc.
3) Audio - Visual Aids
The
aids which involve the sense of vision as well as hearing are called
Audio- Visual aids. For example :- television, film projector, film
strips,..

"3-Teaching Materials"
"Teaching materials" is a generic term used to describe the resources teachers use to deliver instruction. Teaching materials can support student learning and increase student success. Ideally, the teaching materials will be tailored to the content in which they're being used, to the students in whose class they are being used, and the teacher. Teaching materials come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have in common the ability to support student learning.
Examples
Teaching materials can refer to a number of teacher resources; however, the term usually refers to concrete examples, such as worksheets or manipulatives (learning tools or games that students can handle to help them gain and practice facility with new knowledge -- e.g. counting blocks). Teaching materials are different from teaching "resources," the latter including more theoretical and intangible elements, such as essays or support from other educators, or places to find teaching materials.
Teaching resources / Material :
They include:
A-The actual daily- life sites and environmental realia.
B-Concrete teaching Material.e,g.(Book, classroom supplies for teachers, Realia, CD, Video tape, tablet, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV ..)
C- Theoritical teaching material. e.g.(Workshops, Training units)
D-Electronic teaching and learning programs:
( Word program, Excel program,
Power-point program, Access program, MS picture management program,
Movie-maker program, Free-mind program, Lingoes program, Celestia
program, Yanka program, Anki program, Jing program, Hot potatoes
program, MS Mathematics program, the Sage program, Chemistry crocodile
program, Physics Crocodile program and a lot of other electronic
programs. Electronic teaching enables the teacher to do
an electronic lesson plan and give an electronic
lesson presentation.)
Top 5 teaching materials:
Blackboard
Blackboard is one of the most capable teaching tools in the space.
Educators can upload grades, monitor student performance, and administer
tests. Teachers can also input assignments and manage their syllabus.
Students can access all the information their teachers add to their class page, check their grades, and complete assignments. Blackboard combines all those features with an outstanding design to deliver a fine tool for the student and teacher, alike.
Classroom 2.0
Classroom 2.0 is a social network for teachers. Educators can chat,
send messages, and exchange ideas on how to best educate students. I
found Classroom 2.0 to be an ideal place for teachers to find best
practices to create a more effective educational environment. Many of
the educators discuss ways to use the Web to enhance classroom
instruction.
Engrade
Engrade enables learners to monitor grades and see how
they've performed on quizzes. All that information is provided by the
teachers, who can also customize their Engrade grade books, input scores
from anywhere they have Web access, and create instruction plans for
students to download. Engrade is a powerful tool that's easy to use for both students and
teachers.
My grade book
With the option to create online assignments, manage grade books, administer quizzes, communicate with parents, and provide access to students, My Grade Book literally creates a virtual classroom online.
Teacher Tube
Teacher Tube is a video site for educators. Teachers can upload instruction videos, which can be viewed by anyone anywhere in the world. Videos can show classroom instructions on topics ranging from biology to Shakespeare. There are no limits on the content.

Have you ever thought about how each classroom teaches
things
differently? In this article, we answer what are teaching
styles, why
are there multiple teaching styles, what are the
different styles, and
which style works the best today?
Why different teaching styles?
------------------------------------------
9-Learning Styles
To
apply learning styles theory to English learning and teaching, we must
know what learning style is. Learning has taken place when we observe a
change of learner behavior resulting from what has been experienced.
Similarly, we can recognize the learning style of an individual
student only by observing his overt behavior. Learning style is
a consistent way of functioning that reflects the underlying causes of
learning behavior Learning styles are internally basic characteristics
of individuals for the intake or understanding of new information.
