Evidence

Figure 1 a call from student

I used this strategy during my

teaching practice and it was
successful, some students use
Skype already in their daily
life so they know how to use. I
received one call from the
students who need from me to
explain for her some steps in
scratch and I shared the screen
with her and explained for her
all the steps. (Figure1).
Before I receive a call from a
student she chat with me and told
me that she need a help (Figure2)

I used a proprofs website

to create a quiz for the
students and it was
successful. Students have
to enter their name then
click start to start their quiz
(Figure3).
I used this strategy because
almost all the students use
phone in their daily life at
any time and place. Also
