Week 10- My Last Reflection

Hi Everyone,
Greeting from Bhutan!!!

This is my last Reflection of this course -Webskills, to sum up, the entire course was very beneficial to teachers, the topics discussed during the entire course was very informative as the topics enhanced teaching profession. The course was enriched with new ideas to be used in our daily teaching classroom. Moreover the course instructor(s)were very much supportive/helpful and very much down to earth person.
The following mentioned are some of the topics that we have discussed in our entire 10 week course:
1. Introduction to ABCD Objectives
2. Creating Nicenet classroom, Padlet, WebQuest, delicious, blog, interactive power point and Rubrics
3. Step to our project
4. Creating learner autonomy classroom
5. Weekly Reflection
I would like to request future participsnt (s) to make the best use of this course, as this course is enriched with lots and lots of information on the technology tools to be used in the classroom.
For me I feel that each and every topics that were discussed in the course were very much relevant and important in every teachers life, so I consider every topic as very successful and important, to be frank I think I would love to use Nicenet in my future classroom, as I feel that it is user friendly and very much relevant in my situation, and I feel that it will be successful,  if I use this tool in my classroom.
My suggestion for future course- I feel that the course should introduce more topic on using mobiles, face book and other apps for teaching in the classroom and to create learner autonomy in the classroom.
Reflection of  this week:
1. Discussion-Recap/over view:
I shared on what we have learned during the entire course and also gave advise to the future participants on this course
2. Task - Self Evalution of technology use:
I described the use of technology in language teaching and also compared on the two models and also on the usage of new technology tools.
3. Weekly blog:
Wrote weekly blog, describing on what I have learned the entire week and how am I to implement or use what I have learnt in the course into my class room teaching. I also commented on my friends/colleagues blog post.
Lastly but not the least I would like to thank my two instructor, Mr. Russel and Mr. Robert for their support and guidance during this course, without which I would have never reach this far of my course and I would also like to thank all my comrades for making this course interesting and lively.

Thank you all  and a very happy reading!!!

Weekly Reflection week 9

Hi Everyone,
This is my Reflection of the week 9, in this reflection,  I have briefly described about what I have learnt in week 9 and how I am going to implement my learning into my class.
1. Discussion- In this week, we had discussion on learning styles and technology Connection. The course students posted two post in the discussion thread.
I have selected nicenet class in teaching my future class as I see it more user friendly, at the same time it has got many advantages than limitation such as:
* it's free
*easy way to communicate with the students
*allow user to save, copy and send messages to the other members of the class
II. Benefits for teachers in using nicenet class:
*it allows teachers and students to interact with one another freely
*easy to use
*teacher will act as a facilitator rather than controller
III. Benefits for students:
*provides students with interactive activities
*students will be able to interact with the teachers and the whole class
*students feel more relaxed in a conducive atmosphere, where teacher can provide advice and comments
I want to teach English on the following topics: tenses, grammar, Debate,  letter writing, essay, composition and many more.
2. Project task 8:
I uploaded my final copy of my plan report on our wiki class-final report page, I re-wrote my plan, after I have received feed back and comments from my peers partner,  I also followed the appropriate template to write my plan report, which I am going to use in my future class. 
3. Blog: Weekly Reflection:
I created one Reflection post, describing about what I did the entire week 9 and how am I to implement, what I have learnt in my future class and also made comments in my friends/colleagues blog post.
