8 weeks! My God! We have been doing so much in 8
weeks. It’s really unbelievable. So much has been done and learnt in 8 weeks.
This week was the one with the most technical aspect.
I started by ANVILL. ANVILL is really an effective tool in the teaching and
learning process. I learnt so much. We can devise so many teaching tools in
ANVILL. Our students will really benefit from what we are learning. Learning has
become so much fun and so interesting. Unfortunately, I could not benefit from
such tools when I was at school. I can say that students of nowadays are really
lucky!!
I was really looking forward to create my class on
Nicenet. I even talked to some of my colleagues on this subject and they have
agreed to start their classes on Nicenet next year. I was satisfied when I created
mine this week. Though I will not be able to implement it right now, I was
happy to give it a try. I think that my students are going to love those
discussions. At last, they will be autonomous. Having such a class will also
create a different learning atmosphere and students will be excited to comment
on their friends’ posts.
My first experience in a Webinar was on Friday. Indeed,
it had been a great experience. It was the first time that I was attending a
live Webinar. Although, I had to wait a lot as it was after 10 pm in my
country, I was very excited and did not want to miss anything of it. I started
very early in case I lost connection or it would take time. I was thrilled by
how it was so smoothly done. I learned about Voiceboards which is really an
effective tool. The only problem I may get maybe will be internet connections
but it s worth to experience it with students.
Planning our projects meant the course was going to
end. I was really unhappy on thinking that the course was going to end by the
time we submit our final plan. It was a good way of reviewing. The questionnaire
was well designed. Finally, we were working in a group which again made me
think that group work can be done in that way also. For us group work has
always been done in class.
It’s on a very sad note that I am going to end my
reflections.

Hi, Shavila,
ReplyDeleteYou have done so much this week that you can't feel sad-I am sure the future looks more optimistic when you know that a great community of teachers are so close via I-net: just click on the link and we are here! I hope that E-Teaching will bring much satisfaction and new ideas into your class.
Hello Olena,
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. We have a great future ahead of us and sharing our knowledge with our colleagues at work will be a very noble work to do.
