Week 10

I can't believe it is the last week in the online training course.I am so happy as I learned a lot from this course.I knew new technology tools and how they can be incorporated into the teaching and learning process such as padlet,blogs,Delicious.This has in fact enhanced my student's motivation and promotes their autonomy.In a nutshell, it has been great experience and I feel I am fully inspired with techniques and ideas that can be implemented in the years to come.

I can't forget my colleagues' comments and my instructors' feedback and valuable tips.A teacher should always change his teaching ways as we are surrounded with technology which can serve cooperative learning.

Many thanks.

Keep in touch

Week 9

It is week 9 and the training course is about coming to an end. This week has been so busy as I was keen on rectifying my project work before being submitted. As for this week’s assignments, I learned a lot on students’ learning styles. Some techniques have been new to me which gave me more insight into students’ strengths for better use in class.

Since we are different and so are our students. Indeed, we need to analyze learners’ strong points in order to enhance the learning and teaching environment and therefore engage students in this process. Personally, I conducted a class activity trying to emphasize the different learners’ styles and it really worked.

In the future, I am going to take into account this factor before tackling and tailoring tasks for my students.

I would like to thank my classmates for their valuable comments and feedback which helped me a lot inspire new teaching ideas and strategies.

Finally, I would like to share an interesting video on the learning styles.Enjoy watching!

Week 8

Week 8 has been very fruitful. What I was asked to do was to create an online activity.Personally, I created a vocabulary game (a word search) uploaded from a website called Lakeshore where I integrated a set of marketing words already seen in class. 

I meant to allow students to write sentences using these words. In addition, it was very motivating to engage students through games .The technology tool used was padlet on which I decided to post this task. By creating a class padlet, this device seems to be very efficient since it enhances learner autonomy and promotes independent learning. I am thinking of assigning more tasks on the class padlet in the near future.

The draft project took me a lot of time to work on .However, I enjoyed working together with my class colleagues Hanan and Iman. We exchanged comments on our reports .I would like to thank them very much for their help.

I hope everything is going well in the next 2weeks to come. I really felt how much I learned from this training.
