Week 10: It's Hard To Say Goodbye

It's the last week in this successful and valuable course. As much as I'm happy I have completed all the tasks and accomplished the course, I'm sad because the course came to an end. Joining this program was really rewarding, it was a fruitful and wonderful experience for me as  I have learnt so many tools that I can make use of in my teaching of ELT. I explored most of those tools and I used some of them in my lessons, and they were very effective.
Integrating technology in the classroom provides endless possibilities for teachers, and encourages students to be autonomous and active learners and therefore contributes to successful learning performance.
I enjoyed everything in the course; the readings, the discussions, exploring technology tools, blogging... All in all, I'm happy I joined this course and I was among the amazing hardworking Yellow Group Members. I will definitely share the knowledge and experience I gained from this enjoyable course with other teachers.
I will miss everyone in this course, Mrs Donna and all my friends, I will miss reading your posts and discussions. Hopefully we will keep in touch and share more of our experiences.

I wish you all good luck .

Warmest Regards from sunny Marrakesh.

Week 9: One Week to go

     

The nineth week is almost over, and I'm very sad that we still have only one in this course.  It was the most fruitful 10 weeks in my whole teaching career. I am glad to meet enthusiastic and dedicated teachers from all over the world. I learnt a lot from everybody in this course.



This week we were asked to write the final draft of our projects, I'm satisfied that I could finish my draft and submit it on due time.

Also,this week's discussion about learning strategies and Tech toolss was very interesting. It is important for teachers to know their students' learning styles to be able to design contents suitable for everybody in the class.

In my case, I  use a variety of assessments to determine how students learn. Most of my students are visual learners, so I guess that designing interactive power points, word search, using visuals to teach lessons including pictures, charts, story maps and diagrams.

Sometimes students use a combination of two or more learning styles, but in general, by figuring out how they learn and addressing that particular style,  the teacher will be making use of abilities students' possess and  help in their progress.

I wish you all  a nice weekend.
