Week 10 TASK: Evaluate your Use of Technology

I have read State of Washington:

“Tiers of Technology Integration and University of Southern Florida”

“The Technology Integration Matrix”

I come to the conclusion that there are many ways to put what I have learned into practice. There would be no excuse for me not to use technology successfully in my classroom.

I have learned a great deal of tools and applications that I should tune to use in my classroom. There are plenty of styles and techniques to be used.

I will continue designing courses for my students. I will try to create a database for my lessons   starting from the ready lesson plans that I have already designed. I will continue writing sets of exercises and activities to meet my students’ needs and satisfaction.

Also, my classroom will be having proactive presentations to make students fully engaged effectively in their learning tasks. I will try to connect reluctant students to contribute in project work, while using technology efficiently

Students will be guided and trained to use the online resources and opportunities to have a multiple effects on their knowledge and abilities. Students will be using blogs to improve their writing. They will also use email to make better their communication skills.  I will improve the links and the content I have already generated.

Week 10 DISCUSSION: Advice to Future Participants

From the beginning, I would like you to seize this opportunity that you have been granted to take this course online. Believe me, you will never regret this.  It is an educational journey that you are on the point of embarking on. You need to secure your belt, and book sometimes for your studies.

You need to read all the course instructions at the beginning so as not to lose some scores deliberately. You need to see the scoring procedures and time to post your answers. Bear in mind, that you need to do some reading before writing your posts. Do them seriously if you want to have full credits.

It is a quite exciting course. Every week, there will be some startling discoveries. I am sure you would be so grateful throughout the course if you care for professional development, and your student's need to engage them practically in meaningful and rewarding learning experiences.

If possible try to read all your classmates' posts to boost your learning outcomes. While writing this post, I am thinking of being granted another opportunity to take another course online. My learning experiences started in Oregon University in 2005 by taking a remarkable   course about “Critical Thinking”. I do not want this course to be the last one. These kinds of courses change positively our courses' delivery and enhance our students' talents. I would like to thank all the moderators, especially Courtney, and I would like to thank all colleagues <ho have inspired us and have provided a lot of fuels to keep learning and will continue learning.
