Main body

The effectiveness of further education depends on the teacher’s first day at school. Everything depends on the way how he or she will organize the work in class during their first days. There are a lot of factors that can help to succeed the teacher during his/her first week.

Harry K. and Rosemary T. Wong in their book write that, ‘knowing how to structure a successful first day of school will set the stage for an effective classroom and a successful school year’ (2009 – 3). It is very important to organize the work in class correctly. The authors of the book give very useful recommendations of how to organize the teachers’ work during their first week.

Completing this assignment has allowed the students to demonstrate their competency in Florida Educator Accomplished Practices, especially in critical thinking, human development and learning, planning and the role of the teacher in the class (Florida Educator Accomplished Practices).

Students get much experience in class work organizations during investigating this research. This topic is very important for students as it gives instructions of how to behave during the first weeks in class. It is especially useful for students who have never had a pedagogical practice. The research may be improved by means of personal experience and future search for similar information.

Internet is an essential part of present life. People use Internet for different purposes; they are entertainment, job search, looking for some information, communication. Using modern technologies in class is one of the main aspect on which every teacher should work.

Anita E. Woolfolk tries to explain in the section of the book “Enhancing Your Expertise: Continuing your Learning” the importance of Internet during developing teachers’ experience (Woolfolk 2006).

The Internet has a rich source of information for students and teachers. Students may find lots of information for their classes and research papers. Teachers may also look for some information dealing with this or that task, some hints of how to organize work in class. Internet also gives some information about new ways of teaching, new approaches and methods of teaching. The Internet is a source of fresh ideas dealing with improving the work in class.

The present research may help students to gain such knowledge from the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices as continuous improvement of skills, diversity of educational methods, knowledge of subject matter, technology and others.

Teacher may give some tasks in Internet, as there are a lot of websites with exercises dealing with this or that problem. Using Internet in class helps to vary the assignments, to make the work in class more vivid and interesting for students. But still teacher should make a very difficult and long research in the internet before giving tasks for students from this or that source.

The life of Internet does not stand on one and the same spot, it enlarges develops every minute and there are always lots of new information which can be useful for teachers and students.
