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!!!

Hi Pema
ReplyDeleteDespite some of its drawbacks, generally I find NiceNet suitable too and plan to utilize it as an outside-class discussion platform for my future class. However, I will combine it with Google site to post assignments, upload images, video and for students to attach files. I will have my students do the collaborative work utilizing Google Doc to integrate with Google Site. I think you might want to consider using them as well.

Dear Pema, I really like the idea of adding up more material related to mobile learning and it would be great if they send up the new material. As teachers we should continue learning and also teach our students that education is a life long process.
ReplyDeleteDear Pema ,
ReplyDeleteReally I would congratulate you that you could finish this course despite all the difficulty that you have faced .
I think you are right a bout your suggestion for using mobiles and new apps at our classes . I think that most of our students are interested in using technology .
I believe that we as teachers we should keep up date .
With my regards ,

Hi Pema,
ReplyDeleteIt's right that we've gained a lot from this course. Though the course has come to an end, we carry on our job implementing technology tools to make our language classroom more productive. You have suggested a topic on "Facebook", a social networking site for future course. May I suggest "Edmodo", which is kind a social networking site for educational purposes? You may google it first to get some overviews about it and when you are ready, go to www.edmodo.com.
Cheers,
