Reflection 7


When I remember the days before joining the web skill course and these running course period ,it makes me smile. I couldn't imagine about the progress and achievement that i got during this period. It was really  beautiful moment  for me and hope it will be.....



Well , this week I got opportunity to visit many articles and materials about autonomy learner. Searching and observing the various articles i got lots of ideas and information about the autonomy learner and tips/techniques to make the learner autonomy as well. 
I created my own Padlet and also posted articles to our class wall wisher . It was totally  new experience for me, I enjoyed a lot. It is really an interactive tool for teaching learning purpose where teachers well as students can interact, express and share many articles,videos,weblink, audio ,images etc on wall. So I found it as a very interactive  tool which i wish to follow for my class to make them autonomous learner.

This week I found my project partners and I am very eager to work with them at next week project.
waiting for that day........................
                                                                    HAVE A GOOD WEEK.......

Week 6 Reflections

Interactive classes, Interactive power point presentation
                 
    
Interactive  classes and Interactive power point presentation were the main focus point of this week. Teaching large classes is challenging. But using Technology in large classes is great ideas for interactive classes where we can enhance learning by engaging  students actively, effectively and efficiently. There are many techniques for interactive classes which I wish to follow it for my classes too, such as collaboration, Quick think, Just -In -Time,Web based assignments, Team learning, Better communication and interactive Power point presentation etc.                       Students are the real Hunger to learn. So we can use this all students centered techniques to give them new taste of different items..



Next my attention was attracted by the Interactive power point.
This week I was quite busy though I tried my best to create an 
Interactive power point presentation on preposition. 
Finally, I got succeed and also observed so many power point presentation of my colleagues on our wikki. I found all of them 
very interesting.




Over all , I enjoyed the week very much involving in different task myself as a real hunger to learn. Thank you Donna and all my colleagues for support and being  inspiration. Thanks.........

Week 5: Reflection


                                                            " Involve me and I understand "

            Joining on Webskills - E-teacher course is proved as a great opportunity for me. Everyday, every week I have been learning various new things, ideas and knowledge by involving in different activities .
  This week I got fully involve in different activities. It was interesting. Honestly saying, I was following traditional assessment system till now and unknown with the Alternative assessment . But now involving in this week, I got the ideas and  learnt about the alternative assessment, rubric and web quest, project based learning as well which are best approaches for developing language language skills, motivating, assessing the students' performance and encouraging them to be independent and autonomous learners.
             The most interesting things of this week was creating my own Rubric and Webquest. Before a week  I was totally unknown about these ideas but now I am very happy that I got success on creating my own rubric and Webquest  by the help of our instructor Donna's instructions and guidance. I am very eager to use it in my class. So I would like to thanks Donna for such a wonderful ideas. 
Similarly involving in my own project task and  visiting my colleagues' project made me clear about the problems and different ideas for its solution. All ideas shared by my colleagues were very useful and applicable for my class too. I wish to apply those all ideas  when I will face with such type of problems  during my teaching learning process. 
                                       At last I must say that involving in this Webskills -E-Teacher course motivating me  to be a perfect teacher and encouraging me to be a autonomous learner as our students are encouraging by alternative assessment, Web quest and project based learning to be autonomous learner, Isn't it?

                                                            Have a good week....!

Week 4 Reflection


                All EFL /ESL Teacher s and students have great demand of advanced technology in teaching learning.Technology has brought great changes on the field of EFL/ESL teaching learning process.In present context most of the teaching learning problems and issues are easily solved by the help of Technology.Its being a most important source of motivation for all.

In this week 4 I did many things and collected lot of experience though I was already known with some of them .In fact I purified my experience involving on week 4 task.And It will be helpful to grow and enhanced my teaching skill in practicalities .

I got many websites for enhancing writing and reading skill, such as www.marlo.com/cardhim, www.telegraph.com, www.online news paper.com , www.breakingnewsenglish.com and www. manythings .org.All of them were very interesting and useful. I found  the sites  brakingnewsenglish and manythings are more useful for my class.So using Internet and E-books are great ideas to  build and promote teaching learning skill. I am interested to apply it in my class and share to my students too. 
The next task I did is Technology enhanced Lesson Plan. I have been using lesson plan for my class but this time I found little bit different . Going through the given instruction and my colleagues lesson plan, it made me easy to form  technology based lesson plan.So this task helped me to improve and enhanced my experience . Now I can present my class in different ways by following technology enhanced lesson plan  than usual traditional classes .And hope to get success on it.
Finally  I completed project task on the basis of week 2 project .In teaching learning process, there are various problems  or issues related to teachers, students  classroom and teaching learning process ,that is we should identified first and should apply different ideas and techniques according to issues.I this regard technology one of them which can easily solved the raised issues.SO in this project I was able to find and identified the problems of classroom and its solution by technology.I hope this project task will provide me solutions and help me to implement in my future class .
