I started thinking a lot about
improving the educational system where I teach in my institute. To be honest,
this is the first time to be familiar with using blog. Exploring and Studying
the first week of the Web skills course makes me realize the differences in the
other educational standard and what you would find in my school. Using technology
in education is such a gift not just for me even not-so-well-educated in my
school seems they will know how to cope with schooling even in their old age
and seem to possess broad knowledge about most things. This encourages me to
seek more and continue so I can also be like them in the depth of my mind.
I hope to learn more in this course to
play a part in shaping a strong and thriving education not just in my school
but in all schools in Yemen.
Also, from my experiences at Institute
where I currently teach, I’ve seen different ideas and cultures and I am
interested in knowing more about them. From the first day in the introduction
of this course, it offered me the opportunity to see the world from a different
set of eyes. Besides that, I met with such amazing
people like Mr. Sean and I knew other cultures which will definitely help me to
extend the way of education. On the other hand, I will share with other
teachers some of my ideas in a good way. I like to study in a new way
and fortunately I can find it in this course because of the excellent standard
of education.
When I finish this course in ten weeks,
I hope to teach what I’ve learned to my colleagues and my students and I believe
that I will be more an effective person in the educational environment. I think
that to change the entire country, you have to change the way of education and
the best way to do that is by influencing them right from their schools days. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you
soon
Hi Salah,
ReplyDeleteI also feel very fortunate to be in this course because I believe we will all become more technologically competent and better teachers after this course.
From my experience, I realize that it is not easy to have colleagues move out of their comfort zone to experiment new methodologies, especially using technology. However, if you can prove that your ideas do benefit students, I believe others are willing to give a try.
Best,
Teresa
Hey Teresa,
DeleteI am pretty sure after finishing the course, we will be in touch to continue the great job.
Even though ICTs are not a new thing for me in my classes, everyday there are new developments that make my comfort zone smaller and smaller. I feel I am being pushed forward to new things I am not sure about.
ReplyDeleteHey Jorge,
DeleteYou are right...I think one day we can meet and shake hands through the zone. It might happen...
Take care
