Student's feedbacks and reflections
The students had mixed feelings. They loved to create the presentations, where they could use their creativity and their own ideas. Some of the students noticed that they are afraid of representing. At the end all of them felt good, and learnt something new and useful for the further study. Evaluation: I think this exercise was motivating. Students immediately started to work and they used the whole time limit. They did not have problems with preparing presentations. They really worked individually. Everyone used the internet to search for information, in spite of that they had an option to use booklets, etc. To represent themselves wasn’t easy for everyone, mainly introvert students did not enjoy it, but everybody managed to do it. The task was a good practice to learn how to communicate, how to do the “self marketing”- so the importance of representing themself and improve the students’ digital skills, too.
