Reading and writing skills websites
This week was dedicated to websites which I did not use very often in my classroom. It was because I did not know about websites like Breaking News English or Write or Die.I can see my students more motivated in doing these writing exercises than before and this is why I always wanted to this course. I can feel it that I am improving in my ICT skills and new technology which I use in my teaching is used more effectively. Thanks to my colleagues I have learned again about new websites, applications and have read useful articles and comments.
My week was not an ordinary one because I was accompanying students and colleagues from our German partner school on a skiing course. However, I got a chance to discuss the topic of web skills with them and compare my knowledge and use with theirs. I can say that this course is helping me a lot and things learned in the course are necessary for my future teaching.
I really like that I could create a Google Document thanks to Courtney's instructions. I have never done it but will use it and mention it to my students and colleagues. Because the course has to have an outcome this week I focused on my Final Project and identification of possible issues in my class.
I feel more confident about using ICT in my class and I am looking forward to the week 5.
Dear Matej,
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of 'first-timers' in the online course and we're indeed in the able hands of Courtney who is making us tech savvy!
I felt that your students are giving you positive feedback about the way you are using technology in the class which is all the more rewarding for a teacher.
All the best for the project!

Dear Matej,
ReplyDeletewithout this course we would never had a chance to meet so many sites.. While learning to use the web tools effectively by the support and guidance of Courtney, we also learn a whole lot of things from each other. This sharing will definetly lighten us and the collegueas who are working with us..
Best,
Hülya
