Week 10- the final week!

During the course I learned a lot of things - created my first Blog, Delicious, Rubrics and Interactive Power Point Presentations, Padlet. I got to know about different web search engines,  learned how to create quizzes and exercises using different programs and sites like Hot potatoes and Easy test Maker. These tools I appreciated most and started to use in my daily work. I and my students became regular listeners to English Podcasts. I added a great number of webpages with resources to my Delicious page I would to explore.

Moreover, I appreciated the rare opportunity for me to communicate in English and take part in Nicenet. I enjoyed reading wonderful posts of my coursemates and learned a lot from them. For me it was a wonderful experience.

Thanks a lot to Donna and all course colleagues, it was nice to work together! After completing this course I am going to continue my professional development and hope to keep in touch with our course colleagues!

Greetings, Rita

Week 9

One week left. I feel relieved and a little bit sad. It took me rather much time to explore the course material and fulfill the tasks in time. At the same time I feel very happy as I learned a lot. As as teacher  I improved a lot.

This week I read how technology can help provide a range of learning styles in the classroom. The article I appreciated most http://www.nclrc.org/sailing/.  As always I enjoyed reading other course participants` posts on Nicenet and blogs.  Using Carlo`s comments which helped me a lot, I improved my draft and wrote the final version of my project report.

I completed a survey and got to know about eTeacher site and I`ll definitely join it in the nearest future.

Greetings, Rita

Week 8

This week was very busy week. I shared my draft  by posting it on my project raport with my partner Carlos on my page on the course wiki. I was given some feedback from Carlos, which I appreciate a lot.

I read Iryna`s draft project and gave her some feedback.

After exploring some of the suggested technology tools, I created a Padlet Site to share the jokes in English http://padlet.com/wall/iipovmbdmx. The purpose - in a funny way to improve English language skills. I found this technology tool very useful and easy to use. I hope to promote learner autonomy by encouraging students to search, read and post jokes on Padlet.

I am looking forward to next week!
