Hello again

Hi everybody,

It has been long time since I post here.

I MISS THE DAYS OF SHARING IDEAS ON THIS BLOG.

 

Therefore, I thought of sharing some of the lovely and effective presentations on this great world.

 

Have a great trip with me.

Practice with me

Hello,
I miss writing here.
I stopped writing on my blog long ago becasue I had to join some educational courses, which I will discuss the following days or weeks!
During the last two weeks I discovered that in order not to lose my language and motivate my students to practice their language I have to work with them.
Therefore , we started working together on the following site :
http://www.examenglish.com
Frankly, it is one of the best sites for them.

My journey in 10 weeks

I am too happy to accomplish the required tasks and complete the course but it's also too painful to leave this great journey (course) we had during 10 week!!!

I feel it's only 10 days not 10 weeks. I love to call this course a virtual journey because it showed me how to apply the web effectively in my teaching. I changed my methodology based on the tasks we did during the weeks. We created authentic and creative teaching tools in our pace with our webskills that improved a lot.

We experienced up-dated approaches and many web sites resources in accomplishing our final project.  What I loved most was Rubistar, it easy my teaching days.

Finally, I promise that I will keep what I started in this course and my blog will be the mirror of my e-experience in the future.  I hope everybody do the same.

Love,

Mariah

Week 10: LOTI

Dear all,

During this week we evaluated ourselves based on the Level of Teaching Innovation Framework (LOTI). Frankly, it's the first time I have ever heard about it and found it too important resource for using technology. This resource is based on research-based approach.

It's a very helpful resource. What I loved about LOTI that it has a very clear explanation of each level and how it is applied in the classroom.

Wishes,

Mariah

Week 9: Our Students???

Dear All,

Multiple-Intelligence is one of the most powerful analyses of the human beings personality and understanding this analysis help us get the most effect tool easily so we affect other.

Can you deal with all people the same and have the same experience with everybody as equal as others?

Can all your students become excellent in describing a picture (visual), listening to a song with distinguishing the lyrics (auditory)?

There many of the intelligence our students have but are we able as teachers to discover them and let them be proud of having those intelligence?

I know for sure that understanding my students' learning styles and Multiple Intelligence they have will easy my teaching because these kind of information about whom I am teaching lead me to how I will teach and when shall I use  my teaching strategies or differ my teaching approach.

I think clever teacher are who understand who are their students to get their students needs , what and how they can teach.

Great topics we read this week regarding MI and LS with the power of technology.

Week 8: New Journey

Hello,

The great journey we had during this week showed us how powerful are tech-tools in teaching and learning as well.

I had a very fascinating exploration with ANVILL it's a very powerful lab and I am sure all my students will love using it as a new way of learning English. I have never heard about it but I found it great.

The task were asked to do was creating a course site or exercise pushed me do something with Wikispace which I found years ago too helpful in collecting and sharing different resources in teaching English language.

I feel that week8 run too quickly to the end because it was the start for the end of our lovely and effective course.  I noticed also that we had great exchange of the draft which really helped us have great feedback on what we are working on and it gave us the experience of other teachers.

I 'm looking forward for week 9 and we will be asked to do.
