Week 9

With the program course comming to the end new horizons seem to be closer. As I read through the posts of the colleagues they share their plans as to the dissemination of the knoledge after the course ended. This Friday I participated in the meeting of the Connecting Classrooms school coordinators (Ukraine) in Kiev. I suggested that a seminar for 5-10 schools from different parts of Ukraine will be conducted in February-March, 2012 with the presentation of the e-Teaching program and some training workshops. I hope that this seminar will open the teachers new ways of using technology for their classroom teaching and will inspire them to participate in webinar trainin sessions.  In March TESOL-Ukraine Annual conference will take place in Kamenet Podilsk State University and I am going to prepare a workshop for this event. Another article about the technology in the English language classroom I will send for the Ostroh Academy conference in April.  If you add that I am in the process of the developing of the distant course for the correspondance course university students you can guess that I have much in store  for this new coming year.
I have a strong feeling of community with the course participants and hope we shall contact each other from time to time or will conduct a project which may become international. At least some ideas we have descussed already with Rebecca, others supported the idea of Alumni net.
