Last Tuesday I took a totally different session. It was my first time to use the skype. I was very anger to use it as I never had a chance before. I had account but I never travel abroad also there is no one from my family members or my friends travel abroad. I spend an hour to organize my place and the laptop and I discovered that there was no need for all this worry.
After
the session I discovered two things.
The
1st on that during this course we used..
1)Bolgger
2)Turnitin 3)Blackboard 4)AUC Library
5)Skybe
6)Dropbox
And
all these programs or sites are new to me. Also we used
1)
youtube 2) word doc. 3) Power point 4)google search 5) mail …… and may be more
All these programs in 10 sessions only!!! That is with average a
program or site each session. I didn't think ever that I will learn all these
in one course. The point is I am ready to learn and use more. Really I enjoyed
them all.
The 2nd thing is how cleaver is our instructor. Her
plan “B” for the session wasn't less organized or less useful to us. She achieved
all her goals for this session by away or another. Some times when we loss a
lesson with our student, we become proud of ourselves if we find a way to overcome
half its goals. Really this was amazing and very useful to be a sample to our
future lesson plans.
Hoda, I am so happy that you realised that you engaged with very many technologies in this course. And you can also use these with your students. We also used digital cameras, movie makers, cell phones, and all of the various programmes to download information and videos from the internet. In terms of SKYPE, you do not need to be in another country to use it. It is a great way to keep up with friends and family, even those who are close by.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my lesson planning. Whenever, I plan my coursework, I always plan the lessons in such a way that they include activities that can be facilitated by someone else if I have an emergency or they can be done by students (like we did last week).
I hope I can reach this organized and will prepared lessons one day :)
DeleteThat`s great!I wish I had joined the whole group but unfortunately there was a problem with the internet connections .
ReplyDeleteYou did in the last session. so you didn't miss anything :)
