Hello Jodi & Sheire and everyone,
I am writing these words and I am
mesmerized, paralyzed and breathless because this course is going to end. I
love the moment I communicate with everyone in this course. I love the moment I
understand and learn from everyone. This week is the 9th and I
collect a lot of information and learn the power of thinking and discussion.
Allow me dear to start speaking about this golden, super, bright and outstanding
course. We started with getting to know each other and then introduced to the
ground rules for the discussion. Which are the basic and main strategies that
we all follow during the course. I learnt to create my own blog and I tried my
best to learn more about the blog and its features. I got the idea of writing
something and commenting on my classmates work. I am obliged to be introduced
to the ABCD learning objectives. I read more about the ABCD from different
materials. I used these techniques when I did my lesson plan and I used it a lot during this course. I had
a pleasant tour and discover the most effective web search. I add to my
bookmark a lot of websites and I feel great that I have these rich websites.
Then I worked on Oral/aural skill-building websites and bookmarks with Delicious.
I read different materials about Oral and aural. The bookmarks I got familiar with
are a great help for me and my students. I moved to reading and writing
websites which gave me huge benefit about the techniques of reading and
writing. I spent some times searching some websites and read, analyze, and summarize
some ideas about reading and writing. Then I learn more about lesson plans
using technology and tools that help in teaching. Then I move to Webquests,
Rubrics and PBL. I struggle in making my own Webquest but finally I ended up
with my successful webquest. I read a lot of materials about PBL which needs
much time concentrating on the materials given because there was a huge benefit.
I learn about large classes and interactive powerpoint. These two points are
very interesting to me and I learn a lot in term of application. A big number
of websites give a lot of information about the large classes and the
interactive powerpoint. Then I was introduced to Learner autonomy and the one-computer
classroom and which another excellent subject. I spent a wonderful time
discussing, forming, and preparing the project. I experience the best practices
in the webinar I learn about its features. I tried my best to apply what I learnt in my classes at the institutes and I will do my best to use the materials, websites and ideas soon. I will try my best to go through the materials again and learn more and discover other beneficial ideas. I am very happy that I communicate
with the course participants during the course. I felt great when I share the discussion
through the nicenet. I add a lot to my experience and my filed of teaching. I
apply till now most of the technological tools that I learn from this course. I am proud that I attend this course and I met
the great instructors, the bright guests and the wonderful participants.
Thank you very much indeed for your time.
Salam
