This week had moved me another step forward to become a modern teacher.
After reading articles about Project Based Learning and Webquests I thought to myself, I can do the same and will try it in my classes. My students also need reasons to learn English.
With the help of technology and modern ways of teaching like Webquest I have prepared an interactive PBL with the help of Zunal Webquest maker. It has opened new horizons to me and I think Webquests will become part of my teaching. However, to become a premium user of Zunal Webquest maker is not for free and only a very basic options are for free. Because I am just beginning using Webquest it is enough.
Finding out about how others deal with their problems in using technology in their classes made me think of my problems. Some solutions to my classroom problem were discussed in the week 4 so I went back and have read it thoughtfully. I have decided to support my students writing skills with the use of Pen Pals and e-mail exchanges.
I have visited some sites like The Teachers Corner, International Pen Friends and ePals.
I found them quite useful and will use these sites as a support for teaching writing skills to my students.
I hope next week will be as fruitful as this one.

Hello Matej!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on one more successful week in this online course!
I share your enthusiasm about Webquests and their implementation into our teaching practice. They can definitely enhance our students' motivation and bring more fun into the classroom. I have seen your Webquest using the link you provided on our wiki page and I like it very much. You really did a good job and I hope your students will be more than prepared to enjoy their stay in Stuttgart.
Best regards,
Izela
