The FINAL WEEK of the COURSE

DEAR DONNA & EVERYONE,
               Working with you was really great. Our amazing instructor  Donna Shaw thanks a lot from the depth of my heart for your hard work with us & for your kind & friendly way of teaching. The most successful topics for me were learner autonomy & Rubrics & alternative assessment & creating a class site. The most useful topic for me was learning objectives,  social bookmarking & project-based learning. In my classes I will use many tools like blogs, rubrics, a delicious page & interactive power point. There is a certain tool which I think is very useful & you never spoke about it, this tool is Facebook. I think that using facebook is really helpful. I have a facebook account & I make a group for each class of my classes where we post English language videos & stories & we communicate with each other in English. Thanks a lot for all of you.
Best Regards,
Yours,
Joseph.

                                                     

WEEK 9

Dear everyone,
            I am really happy to tell you about this week. I think week 9 was the easiest to me. I have achieved many things & very fast a matter which I never imagined. I am really happy that sent the final draft of my project. I hope it will be a good one as I have exerted a lot of efforts in it. The reading this week was great I have liked it a lot. I think that technology is the wizard which will help us to do our job as efficient as possible. Technology will help us satisfy all the needs of all types of learners. The challenge to me is how to make it all just in one activity. All in all this week I feel great. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.

Yours,
Joseph.

WEEK 8

Hello everyone,
          I am really happy to write about this week. In this week I wrote the draft of my project which made me had a very special feeling.The tasks of this week were easy I liked them a lot. I have a little problem with my project & I asked Donna to help me. The new web site ANVILL is great. I liked it a lot.
Yours,
Joseph.

WEEK 7

Hi everyone,
         This week was really easy. I felt this for many reasons some of which are personal. This week we read about learner autonomy which I consider one of the most important objectives of teaching. How to make your student able to teach himself is a great point which at first will help you a lot in your work & will make you feel that you taught him how to fish instead of giving him just one fish for the day. This feeling is perfect. We used this week the wallwisher/padlet I did not like it. I can not deny that it was easy to use but it was not organised at all. Concerning the project I am working hard on it. Best of luck to all of you.

Yours,
Joseph.

WEEK 6

HELLO EVERYBODY,
                    I am very happy to tell you about my project. I have a small class of adults who study a course of general English at level 3. They have a problem in listening. They can not comprehend what they are listening to very well. I felt that using technology may help a lot in this problem & I decided to use this website to solve the problem :  http://www.esl-lab.com/. This week I have started giving them tasks from this website & I see that they liked it a lot. I wish it could help us in our problem. This week was a tough one but thanks to GOD I have done what is required.
Best Regards,
Yours,
Joseph.  

WEEK 5

DEAR EVERYONE,

                 I am very happy to write to you about week 5. For the first time I feel that the work this week was easy. This week I enjoyed reading about Rubrics & making a rubric for myself it's really useful & amazing my students would like it very much & it would help us a lot. I also liked reading about project based learning because I need it a lot in my classes. Here in Egypt students do not like teacher based classes & they consider them very poring, that's what makes project based learning very interesting & required. In an ordinary teacher based class the students get pored easily & they lose their interest & concentration easily. However, If you used project based learning with the same class, you'd get amazing results.This week was really great.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Joseph
