" Describe a technology-related change that you will implement to help with one or more of the issues you mentioned last week. Explain why you think it will be useful in resolving the issue(s)."
Liliya thinks WebQuests can substitute the lack of materials needed in class .
Stephen, well-organized, would use technology to solve teacher and students issues. Besides tracking students’ progress he would like to move the learning outside classroom with technology .He also gave me a hand to bookmark 2 sites about how to write a good book report.
Khuloud would like wikis as part of her lessons.
Luiza believes she needs a technology-related change in order to teach students how to write a film/book review and ‘The Plagiarism Checker' to find out if their work is copy paste from internet.
Azhar would use technology to communicate with her students through sending "e-mails and chatting" and creating "online discussion boards", using Nicenet . "Blogs" & "Wikis" are also a solution for her to help students improve writing skills.
Victoria likes her delicious tool as a help in creating technology-enhanced classes .More than that she sees the improvement of all aspects of a foreign language acquisition (student–oriented). International e-mail exchange in class projects, Web Quests – to invite collaboration, promote and exercise 'higher-level thinking process and practice skills inherent to any language learning project, research, Video-conferencing are all mentioned in her post as a future usage of technology in class.
I thought problem-based learning would be beneficial for me and my students because it addresses to all learning styles and make them work cooperatively.
Arjana shares my idea that Webquest as a tool, even if it is a time-consuming process, it’s definitely worthwhile.
Janet has access to a digital camera with a microphone and she would like to record her students’ presentations and uploaded on the Internet. Establishing a wiki with the class is a way to help with their writing, she thinks.
I do not know how many we are left in this course but my colleagues’ responses to this task make me believe that this particular course will have a great positive impact on our students. It will not be easy for us to try to implement everything we have learned so far , but for sure , at some point , we will be become technology savvy teachers .
Dear Cami,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for summarizing every teacher´s ideas. It is very helpful to refresh our memory and read what every teacher has said.
Not having enough time sometimes we can skip any important and interesting post.
Therefore, thank you once more for putting everthing together.
Yours,
Luiza
Dear Cami,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with Luiza's comment. You really did a good work on summing up everybody's ideas on the topic. Much easier to read them here, on your blog,than at the Nicenet page!
Thank you.
Yours,
Elsa
