Week 8

When I started to update the blog I could not believe that we have passed 8 weeks! I really enjoyed every minute of the course work though the work load due for us increased little by little. This week has been some what different from a usual week with the project drafting. The work due for this week included:

  • Discussion: Online Exercises/Technology Tools - The discussion for this week was based on online exercises/technology tools. We discussed how the use of such tools could change both the teaching and the learning process. It is obvious that any tool would get the attention of the learners very easily. Yet, it is the teacher's duty to make the tool or online exercise more attractive as well as to make it more effective enabling the learner to explore and learn. Then the learners will learn independently and will become autonomous learners. 

  • Task: The task due for this week made us to create a tool. I selected Padlet a site which I think more user friendly. I managed to get good comments from my friends and even my students managed to do class presentations on articulatory system and on sounds. I enjoyed this work.

  • Project Task - Drafting the project gave me a new experience. Though I have done so many projects, action researches and even researches this is the first time that I had a proper scholar to go through and give comment. It was so nice to do it. I really appreciate my friend Angel's observations they help me alot t Hence, this project based work is extremely went and still going ahead well.

     Thus, when considering the work due for this week seem to be quite a lot. Yet, I do all with a very happy mood.

    Your observation about this week´s tasks and discussions are very precise. I really love the part where you said that "Yet, it is the teacher's duty to make the tool or online exercise more attractive as well as to make it more effective enabling the learner to explore and learn" It was a pleasure to have worked with you as you are the best. Warmest regards!
