I read a lot of different
articles about reading listening and speaking. I feel that I gain a lot from
the mentioned articles. What I enjoyed most is the websites I got from
different people and from the articles mentioned. The reading materials make me learn more
about different techniques and methods about teaching and learning process.
Concerning the websites, I tried all of and they are useful and they have huge
number of uses. They need much time to go over them and try to organize them
and put them on the right spot to be used. I am astonished by the number of
websites and by the content they have. I am delighted that I learn new things
every week. I feel happy that my
students will get much benefit from the ideas and websites that I am getting
from this course and this week. What makes this course great is its rich stuff,
materials, websites and ideas. I am positive that all participants get benefit,
richen their background and make them brighten up their critical thinking
skills. The magic thing about this week is the Nicenet thread which is the
cream of the crop. I feel that it is a pleasant journey for me and for all of
the participants to learn, read, process our thought, generate ideas, put them
logically and present them on the thread. Everyone is an expert in this course
because the huge experience each one has. What makes me thrilled about this
week is the amount of materials I went over and the way of communication we
use. Ideas agree generated automatically. The big challenge that occurs in this
week is the tasks given by the instructors. Lots of work is given like the
reading materials, web search, project tasks and the Nicenet thread that
required time, effort and quick reflection. Challenge makes people learn in
this course and add a lot to their experience. I got a lot from the participants
especially those who use critical thinking skills to communicate with each
other. I am trying my best to use some ideas in my class and with my coworkers
in the school. I try using some of the ideas in my field. I won't forget the articles
about lesson planning which is the most important activity that a teacher
should worry about. Once you manage and write a well-organized lesson plan,
your message will be delivered smoothly. This lesson plan is engaged with the
use of technology so that a teacher ends up with an interesting lesson. I am happy to be a participant in this
course. I am thankful to the participants and the instructors for making this
course interesting. I would like end up my words by saying thank you very much
to you all and thank you for your time reading my humble words.
I would like to suggest more websites
for this week:
Dear Salam,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sites you shared on the Nicenet and here, in your blog!
It is great that in spite of a million other things we have to do beside the course, you still kept in touch and commented on my posts and lesson plan! Thank you for your time and effort!
That is really great you try to bring everything you learn here into your class, and share with your colleagues - this is what the course is meant for (in my opinion). And you are right here - we will need much time to look through the sites that were offered so far.
Dear Yuliya,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much indeed for you nice words! I am glad and proud to be with you in this valuable course!! All the best!!
Thanks for the links. Will go through them once time is on my side. I'm still trying to finish the 2 additional articles suggested by our instructors and still in the phase of reading our friends' posts' on Nicenet.

My posts are just sincere and genuine and nothing else. I really mean every word I write without any flattery.
Based on your post, I discovered the poet we have in our class; it's you, Salam!
Feeling so proud to have a friend like you in my class!

Hi Salam,
ReplyDeleteI will to tell you here that I have been enjoying every post of yours. Each time I wanted to reply, but the time limit kept me from doing this. Now I use the opportunity to express my appreciation for all your contributions collectively.
And one more thing - it's so nice to see your photo. I used to imagine you as a new generation gentleman, slim, with long dark curly hair, with iPhone and an head-phone in the ear. And each time I was reading your posts I was thinking, "How wise and how professional. What a nice generation is growing." ;-)
I wish you keep like this and look forward to your further posts.
Best regards,
Valentina

ReplyDeleteI loved what you said about everyone in this class being "an expert". That is so true! It makes it so easy to "teach" this course when there is such a wealth of information and experience out there with every individual here.
Like you, I'm overwhelmed with how many websites there are "out there". So much information, so little time!!
Jodi

Dear Salam,
ReplyDeleteI also read carefully everything you are writing and appreciate your links and ideas. I wish I could write more often, but due to some circumstances I currently have very limited time. This is why a lot of interaction I would like to engage in remain in my mind.
I hope the upcoming week will be less busy and I will share more.
Best regards,
Val, Belarus
