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.
