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.
