Reactions 1 in week 9

I like what Anar Bayarsaikhan has said in her post: “In short, it's always good to reflect back on our teaching and it's also important for students to ask for help from the instructor if there is any gap between the teaching and learning.”

This is interesting, but it can be done only by active and much good interested students who visualize the importance and effectiveness of studying. These kinds of students would like to make a difference in their studies. They do not wait for the teacher’s to tell them. They are always coming up by innovative suggestions. They usually take risks and take their teachers by surprise.

In fact some nowadays students are technology native born, they are always using technology every moment of their life for to learning, amusement, and resting…

We have learned a lot from reading your post and comments. Then, after all, technology is innovative to be used in the classroom to boost and maximize learning opportunities, wherever it is used and implemented. It is also a practical way to assure that the pre-planned goals and objectives are successfully met while delivering instruction. However, cannot we say that despite its innovation and integrating all skills, it contributes to the decline of the students' mental ability use? It would make more students more passive and reluctant to respond to the practicality of technology?

Week 9 Reflection

This week has an exceptional one for the great and wonderful thoughts that have been communicated by all the participants. I have learned quite much form the various posts I have been reading in week 9 discussion, animated by Russell Moon about “learning styles/multiple intelligences and how these can be catered to through technology.”  It has been always to be exposed to stimulating aspects of English learning and teaching across various subjects, owing to the assortment of participants in the course.

In addition, this week has been so magnificent for the various projects reports that have been published. It has been an opportunity to read some of them and compare my own project to them. I have seen how excelled I have been working, and see the particular points I have to put into effect in future technology implementation to better engage my students and communicate the same procedures to my friends. I have already thought of giving a workshop to cascade the information. The title would be “We have no longer an excuse for not putting technology into action in your classroom”. The abstract could be an invitation to participant to reflect about their ways to use technology to pinpoint their problems. After that there would be a sharing of useful applications and websites. It is indicating some tools to engage students fully in the process of learning, vis-à-vis the learners’ styles.
