Thoughts on week 2 webskills learning experience
Week 2 in web skills learning
has been very fruitful for me .Actually, I have learnt a lot on web searching
and ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives.
To begin with, web searching
is of paramount importance for teachers to design their lessons. The huge
number of search engines is a double –edged weapon .Despite making the
teacher’s task easier to find information and resources on the topic he or she
wishes to tackle, I found it hard to select what I need due to the load of
information.
I have also learned that web
searching does not mean Google! I have actually discovered other search engines
such as Bing and Ask thanks to the task assigned during week 2.
Secondly, week 2 has been
beneficial in my teaching skills. The ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives has
enabled to have a clear objective and to be selective especially in the choice
of verbs. I discovered some new strategies on how to set objectives .This is
not as easy as I thought before!
Finally, the class atmosphere
is very friendly .Comments from classmates and their feedback helped me a lot
inspire new teaching ideas.
I would like to thank all of
you .Week 2 has been great! What about you?
PS: I have found a handy video
on YouTube on The ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives. I liked it so much;
that’s why I would like to share it on my blog. Enjoy!

Hello Makram. I have also gotten more confused about writing Behaviourial learning objectives because of the amount of information, as B objectives may be written from the level of single task or activity to more global ones, long-term semester BO. Very well mentioned about the all-important action verbs. Graphical presentation of information through diagrams in the short vid, proves the necessity of digital literacy and ability to search for the appropriate materials, from the appropriate source. Is that YouTube, by the way, the duration 4.31 is also OK. Thank you. Regards. Galina Petrea.
ReplyDeleteHi Makram,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the tremendous amount of information on the net is a mixed blessing.
I don’t mind having spent a lot of time on exploring different search engines but I do not think I will use many of them on a daily basis. I have become acquainted with some really useful ones and added them to my bookmarks but Google will remain my default one.
I share your opinion about the importance of setting objectives. Thanks for the video.

Hi Makram,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to chime in with my thanks for the learning objectives video. It's a wonderful resource. Also, I agree with you that search engines and the sheer amount of information available on the internet can be a double-edged weapon. I think that's why tools like Delicious are so useful--they can help us cut a path through the forest and prevent us from being overwhelmed.
Best,
Russell
