Hello fellow lovely
class mates.
If I would guess how the week has been for you, I am likely
to say that it has been…………………….. Fill the vacant space please.
When I signed up for
this course and when I later saw the program for ten weeks I could not believe I
shall go through till the end. I mean it was really my first online course and
besides the work seemed too much. Ten weeks
is almost over and I have learned a ton of things. How about you?
When I completed my
padlet stuff this week, the activity for my class, I was sort of marveled at
how much I had learned and within a short time too. I felt great from within.
The mere thought of the
project was another torn in the flesh. Nevertheless I did it and with great
comments from some of you I came up with something nice.
I have just listened to
the videos about the MOOC course and it already sounds great. The world is a
great place to be at this time. We do not just have to make right decisions, we
rather have to make our decisions right.
Having access to all
these assets is key to making ourselves better English tutors and professionals.
Nothing pays like hard work
How
would they help me as a teacher?
Every time I ask myself
this question I cannot find the answers – I cannot really say them but the
manifest via the way I teach, talk and make relevant arguments.
Based on the project I did,
I have known now just how to incorporate technology in lessons and how to
manage it. The feedback I had when I used it was quite encouraging and inspiring.
I hope to use it more often – it is wonderful and it comes with an array of
benefits.
Knowing how to create
class activities using web quest, pad let etcetera, has impacted me with some
skills on how to get students involved in lessons in fun way yet maintaining
the rationale of the course. Doing that often will change things in leaps and
bounds.
Finally the MOOC course
is absolutely amazing. Its limping growth has steadily advanced into a huge
thing. I love the objective of it and the fact that it is accessible from
anywhere. I hope to take the course because given the bilingual nature of
Cameroon, French speaking students sometime see the English language as foreign
and so grapple with learning how to master and use it. On the video I watched
on the courser site I particularly loved the topic for week five titled “Language
and Context”. I love the fact that is right in January so that we could have
some time to rest and sort out other things before then, and as well think that
it sort of complements our present course.
Good people I live you
now with much love. Each week has its own energy- drainer. Whatever yours was, I
hope you found the strength and will to handle and fix it. It is too late to
give up now.
I wish you well come
Week 9.
Best regards.
