Week 10

Hello all my dear course mates,
"I am so fortunate to have had the experience to study this course. Spending time in this course has by far been the best thing of this year ever.

This course was school changing experience.  Every week was a new adventure that was completely different from what I have studied before.  While I was taking this course, my friends often ask me what my favorite memory from this course, but that is so hard to answer because there are so many! However, learning how to integrate technology into my class, writing a plan report and getting the opportunity to write a weekly reflection on the blog at the top of my ‘favorites list’.  Mr. Sean was a perfect instructor and was so patient with us.   The harmony environment on discussion that we had was completely different from anything I had ever experienced, which is why I loved it so much.  This course was the first course for me to study with people from different nationalities, and because of this I was able to learn so much and get to know more about different technics. My course mates were incredibly helpful and made the process less stressful and overwhelming.  I hope everyone gets the opportunity to study this course.

Week 9

I cannot believe that we are in week 9. It’s really sad but at the same time it’s a great feeling of appreciation what I have learned from the past weeks.  One of the most helpful aspects of this week was summed up by this course outcome provided in the course description: apply the speaking process to develop student’s speaking using the technology tool that I’ve earned.  I had always felt that I could research and present information about a topic with relative ease for my students, however I wanted to improve my ability in teaching persuasively.  The week provided me with exercises and multiple opportunities to achieve this goal.  Writing a plan project was especially challenging to me I did not feel strongly about it one way or another.  This pushed me to really work harder and harder to understand more and more.  The improvements that I made in in this week were quite impressive.

Reading about the learning style for students was really useful.  Also, by the sheer volume of work that was assigned over the duration of this week, I became more and more comfortable with my teaching style.
