I cannot believe ten weeks have passed since April. They
were busy but exciting and so precious weeks.
I have learned new technologies through the course. The
first tool I found very useful is this blog. Reflecting the past week, I can
make sure what I have learned and organize my ideas.
As for PowerPoint, I liked the topic of interactive slides.
I think it very important to keep in mind to make them interactive. I enjoyed
creating quizzes, games, and questionnaires through the sites. Once we are
familiar with those sites, we can use each activity separately and as elements integrated
in one lessen.
Padlet as well as Delicious is also the new technology I
want to use. It is very easy and convenient to use once you created one. Nicenet
and Class Wiki will be also helpful communication tools through writing and
reading.
Writing objectives and rubrics is an essential topic
associated with the idea of learner autonomy.
I read some articles with different titles through the
course. All the articles implied the importance of interactive,
learner-centered perspective. And I recognized teachers need preparation. So
all the articles in different titles are combined as a whole.
This course will be closed soon. I will explore some of the
sites to know further in detail. I am thankful for everything to Ms. Donna Shaw and
all the participants. I also want to show my gratitude to the staff of Oregon University providing me with such a wonderful opportunity to participate in this course.
Hello Sawako,
ReplyDeleteAll the technology tools you have mentioned in your blog are very useful to integrate in our teaching practices. Your class is definitely very active, and I think it will be more student-based one after finishing this course. You are right; we have learned about new things in this course. We ought to be thankful to Donna and University of Oregon for granting us this great opportunity.
Wishing you all the best on your teaching career.
Regards,
Dareen
Hello Sawako,
ReplyDeleteJust as you, I'm also grateful for this wonderful experience we lived through ten weeks. And I agree with Dareen and you, we really learned so many new things that I'm still digesting some of them. For sure I'm coming back to some of the articles we read and exploring more some of the tools we used.
