Wehave learned a lot
I would start thanking the
moderator for leaving no excuse for any course taker to see that I would not be
able to create a platform for my students or design virtual documents that the students
would benefit from. It is breathtaking
to be exposed to such a variety free of charge links and software application
that for sure it would enhance our use of technology within and beyond our classes.
I have already used nice classroom. I think it would
so useful to be used to sustain students’ constructive learning and making them
optimistic learners. I am really thankful for refreshing our minds and making
us aware of
Padlet
Google drive
wikispaces.com. I have created
my wikispace: https://readwrite-enhancement.wikispaces.com.
I am going to invite my
students to used to benefit from the ample learning opportunities it would
offer
Padlet: I have posted a
document there and create my own Padlet. I will be exploring it and visualize
the way to link it to wikispace for more document sharing, and a plus for
student learning
Hot Potatoes: I need to refresh my mind to used again this application
to design classroom activities
Also, I have designed a
lesson plan relying on: http://www.easytestmaker.com/User.
But the problem it does not offer
many option to create advanced lessons plan probably we need to pay to use
those advance options. I can add TOOLS FOR EDUCATORS which are “Free tools for
teaching - printable worksheets, classroom printable and on-line worksheet
templates with images”.
ANVILL, I have my
account. I am sure I would be using it. Recently, I have been introduced to Language
lab. I have written about this in week 7 reflection. There are great opportunities to explore and put
into practice.
Working on my final project has helped very much to see the most important
components that I should integrate in the projects. I would be checking every
detail to make it better and easy to implement for anyone who would be
interested in.
The tools that have been presented are appealing and open up an endless
appetite for learning for anyone who even has no idea about implementing
technology in the classroom .However, there are many constraints. It is one hundred
percent “yes”. Everyone would okay the importance and its usefulness. However,
the curriculum overload and the exam agenda, the very limited hours, and the impossibility
to beneficial extra-curriculum would mare and deter the teacher from using
them.
Hi Abdesalam,
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hear your enthusiasm and positive attitude for all that you've learned in the Webskills course! It sounds like you were busy in week 8 exploring and creating sites and activities with the various tools that were introduced.
In the last paragraph of your post, you mentioned how curriculum overload, exam agendas, and limited hours could present problems regarding the implementation of these tools. Now that you've been introduced to all these tools and have knowledge about how they work, you can continue to explore them and find ways to integrate them into your curriculum, so that they support what you are currently doing and help learners achieve more.
What you've learned in the last 9 weeks will keep you busy for many years to come.
Wishing you many more discoveries!
