Two weeks past and I am amazed how much better I am
able to organize my work in the class with blogging. My first steps I made last
year and the idea seemed very vague and uncertain. This semester in two weeks
with our program I have created my two blogs for school students and university
correspondent course. They are not ideal (!), far from what I 'd love to have
but at least I wrote the A BCD objective for each course, I stated the task and
joined the students blogs in a net.
The starting point is here!
In two weeks my university students will come to
their autumn session but we have started some blogging already. During our
lessons I will be able to hear more from their experience with blog creating
and web searching and will teach those who can’t join in on different reasons. I
am happy I can do that now for them, as I am able to work with this technology myself.
Another great event related to what we are doing in
our program and which I’d love to share was
the first Webinar within the course entitled Shaping the Way We Teach English offered by the Office of
English Language Programs, U.S. Embassy, Ukraine. Exploiting Literature in
Project Based Learning was the subject of the presentation for the worldwide
teachers audience. I was so happy to see Garri, Bin Li on the website! It’s
true that e-Teaching is forming a very friendly educational community and I
feel I am the part of it. You can find nice tips on project based
learning/teaching on the web site http://shapingenglish.ning.com
WizIQ is of
great interest for me and I hope we shall learn more related issues while in
the program.

ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
ReplyDeleteNice of you to leave a comment on my blog.Comments are an important part of both the readers and blogger’s learning process. Next week I am going to work with my students on preparing comments for the class mates' blogs. It's not so easy for a reader- you have to do much reading first, analyze what's there and what you like or find useful, then compose a recall, comment. I suppose to use our program comments to illustrate the best practices.
