My teaching journey began in the "hometown of clouds and peaches," where I learned the value of pure companionship. Later, I met HiTeach and discovered that when a teacher has fun on stage, the students' eyes naturally light up.

Teaching doesn't require perfect equipment, nor flawless demonstrations.
Occasional 'glitches' give children the chance to become little helpers.
Starting with the simplest function is good enough.

A Journey of Co-learning: From 'Afraid to Use' to 'Loving It'

The main reason I continue to integrate HiTeach into my teaching is simply because it's fun. I discovered that when the teacher is having fun on stage, the students' eyes naturally sparkle with excitement.

Before sharing further, I want to confess something: for the entire first year of using HiTeach, I only dared to use the "Timer" and "Pick-out" (Random Picker) functions. Although I knew there were many powerful interactive features, I lacked confidence. Plus, without a tablet cart in my classroom, the inconvenience of borrowing equipment held me back.

Embracing 'Glitches' and Letting Students Be Teammates

Later, when I finally got the equipment, I changed my mindset: "Teaching doesn't have to be perfect. It's okay to get stuck." When operations weren't smooth, students became my little helpers. We figured it out together. This tacit understanding of teacher-student co-learning became more precious than a flawless lesson.

I also want to share that even if your classroom doesn't have student tablets yet, simply using HiTeach's "Classroom Board Game" for competition, "Phone Projection" to display work, or the classic "Pick-out" can completely transform the atmosphere. Today, I'm not sharing advanced techniques, but rather the practical experiences that accompanied me from "daring not to use" to "falling in love with using it," to help everyone get started with ease.
