I should mention here that a teacher should SHOULD NEVER STOP LEARNING at all.
I have realized that the best moment to follow and learn the new on line tool one has to be patient and get grip of many tactics amongst which the following deserve mention.
Firstly, i JOINED the piktochart and started reading all the information on the site, i saw it was too much to consume but sailed through.
I also FOLLOWED some of existing users and found their work was interesting. these included LYNNE SUNDERLAND, Mellisa Goodner, among others, their pages they had pinned were so much interesting. I browsed more on line through the infographic sites for instruction and got the confidence to start mine.
I also tried to author mine after navigating through some existing pages as i read instructions on the piktchart site.
In the process, i tried to simulate constructivism approach to my class and i observed that learners are more enjoying once they facilitate their learning.
I started with my Engineering mathematics class, this class is comprised of trainees of motor vehicle course, auto electrical course, machining and fitting course and welding fabrication course.
I introduced the lesson and later made groups of four learners, they all got answers both wrong and right and were to nominate leaders to go and present on chalk board just as you can see a lady presenting in the side photo.
It was so interactive and cool, they explain to them selves why they have different answers and finally conclude with the right one.
in connection with above the teachers from the departments mentioned all attend and we share facilitation and arrangement of the learning environment, i have learnt that ;
Robert John Meehan was very right to give the pinned statement aside. Teachers need teachers to do well.
I was so keen to learn whether the Socrates' approach would help me in a Vocational Training setup most especially practical classes,
I arranged questions as i went to handle introduction to Gas welding, and the results were encouraging.
I would pin the question on the board and then circulate the papers whoever got the answer could write it down and proceed and pin it under the question and by so doing learners had different ideas pinned and in the recap will agreed on the right answers, it was fun and so much interesting.
I picked it and put on an apron and observed that many trainees started writing when they saw what i put on.  |

I learnt from the infograhic site above that the nine events of instruction are very vital in selection of the questions and management of the answers from the learners.I learnt that i have to keep the questions towards the objective of the lesson, feedback to learners and how to enhance retention and transfer when we are going to start actual gas welding.
I would be humbly right to conclude that infographic can match Socrates model while in practicals.
Recapitulating the main ideas of the lesson, infograhic was so much interesting test for me i managed to start mine from scratch using the guides on line and came up with

Lastly i was very much happy to send the link to my tutor and have much hope that i will keep exploring until i make the best one and look forward to use them in training.
