Step 4

 Hi everyone!! :)
Hope you are all well.
 
     This week we had to refine our project plan, adding many details about it, including here the project activities we are going to use in the classroom, resources and the assessment of our students. I felt about this task very confident since we presented our project  and put it in a real life situation so that  it was much more easier for me  to proceed with the task.
I would like to say that this week's assignment is very useful for a better organization of your activities. Furthermore, setting the goal and the assessment part will help a lot in evaluating students achievements in a fair way. It is better that students to know what would be the focus of the assessment, so they will be engaged more and will give their maximum.
Hope you have found easy this assignment.
All the best!! :) :) :)

Step 3

  Hello everybody!
Hope you are well. :)
  This week we had to write about the influence that the technology  has in our teaching class. Actually, I found it very useful, since we give there some pros and cons that might help us in improving ourselves.
Technology has a good influence in our teaching and learning process, but it takes a lot of time for the teachers to prepare the lesson through technological elements. Teachers should be very selective and  should use all media appropriately.
Most of the time students find very attractive those classes, but sometimes might be very boring because of the way getting accustomed to that. Teachers have to integrate different methods.
What I like most about technology classes is the part that it saves a lot of time when it comes to repeat things.
I hope technology to have a good influence in our classes.
All the best!!! :) :) :)

ESL skills and media elements

Hello!! :)
    This week we have to define the ESL skill we would like to teach to our students by using at least three media elements. This is an important issue, because I think it helps us to make use of appropriate activities to teach a certain skill at the fullest.
When you determine the skill and the media tools you will use, you feel more comfortable.
Actually, I have chosen teaching the speaking skill. It is said that you can learn better a new language only by speaking it. Practising the new language really helps you in learning it.
There are several ways in teaching speaking in order to develop communication skill, such as creating group discussions, sharing experiences, describing pictures, commenting videos. Technology may help you a   lot in organizing those speaking activities in a very attractive way.
Hope you do your best in teaching your skills through the means of technology.
Good luck!!! :) :) :)

First step for our project

Hello!!!   :-)
This week we have to describe in many details the class we will use for the final project.
It is a very necessary step, because it help us think about how to realize the lesson since we there putted something about the topic, students, setting, course goal and students needs.
 I believe that going step by step  helps us to organize  better the class. We will put a lot of effort and pay more attention to every issue.
Setting the course goal is very important, because what comes then must be related  to the achievement of this goal.  
I think all us found easy setting the course goal  and describing our class,  since we have thought about it when we chose the topic and had a clear idea about it.
Hope you to accomplish your course goals successfully.
Good luck!!! :) :) :)

Webquest

Hi everybody!!
 Hope you are well.    

   This week assignment was about exploring Webquest. Actually, I wasn't familiar with the term and didn't understand what to do. Initially I thought that we have to find information about webquest, what is it, etc.. But by  searching on the net and asking friends, I got it. Registering on the webquest was easy, just like logging in into an account, whereas creating your webquest was somehow difficult. It was like  an outline or better saying like an detailed lesson plan. You had there a lot of information starting from personal data, to tasks, processes and all descriptions about your work.
What I liked mostly about webquest was that we have the opportunity to add other files and links.
Using webquest, helps you organizing your ideas in a better way.
Good luck with your webquests!! :)
