!A week full of learning!
This, as the other week have been just great! Personally I've learnt a lot! What about you?
Starting this week with the wide world of search engines made me think I was living in old times. It's incredible the number of them we have online. I put this nice picture because of my litle pupils. I am fascinated about the things I could find on internet, the idea is just to give it a try, and I thank all the ones who helped me with new and handy searches for my children! I am willing to work on that with them! You know, they learn more by playing, by listening to songs, by watching videos than learning grammar rules!
On the other hand, there are many searches engines which help us in different teaching things such as iSeek, and Scholar Google which are useful for more academic information.
Another significant thing about this week was to set objectives using the ABCD model. At the beginning it was a bit confusing for me, mainly the "Degree", but after reading the others' objectives, it was much clearer and finally I could set one with less difficulty. It is good because now I can use that madel in my classes, and actually the two I post were set for coming lessons.
Going to the project, first step, it let me continue thinking about the incredible things we will be doing. As I said in one of my post, I liked the idea of using blogs with my university students. I gave it a try ,and today I saw my students' blogs, there aren't perfectly done!, however I was really really happy. It was a rewarding job!. I felt I did something new, and interesting for them, so in their soon future despite I won't see them again, they can continue using their blogs! Here's one of my student's URL for you to check, her name's Alexandra (first level English student) http://alexa-moon-scarlet.blogspot.com/Lastly, I want you to look at the picture on the right and comment on it! Isn't it a magic finger?
Best regards

Dear Katty,
ReplyDeleteTeachers' hands are magical!!! We are molding human beings...
We are here for learning interesting and helpful things based not only in academic information, but also in our experiences and I agree with you when you say that growth in our students is a reward for us.
As you I had some difficulties in setting ABCD objectives, especially in Degree, but with practice and revising other resources and points of view,we could organized better our ideas.
Fruitful course, isn't it?
Good luck,
Ale
Nice job Katherine I hope you are enjoying this great experience
ReplyDeleteHi Katy,
ReplyDeleteI think we are all fascinated by all the endless possibilities offered online, right?
I have been into technology for some time now but I am just as amazed with this course and everything we are learning.
Congratulations on your blog. I really like the visual, the music(!!) and, most importantly, the opportunity to read about your reflections and comment on them.
Keep up the great work!
