Reflective learning Journal # 10: Finally :)

Last Tuesdays (as I always start with last Tuesday) I learned a lot. When I took a tour in my blogs I found myself started with a “Big shock”, mainly from the CBL project and using blogger, which was a start for a series of a technology program. When I read this blog I felt as if I was a kid going to the school for his first time. He doesn't know what he has to do to be a good boy. He is suffering from his first home work and by it he took a bad feeling for the whole school and all the teachers :). When I read the second reflection I laughed a lot and remember myself when my friends talked about their teenagers’ students and I heard them as if I am in the wonder land. By the third reflection I knew that most of us are suffering in this course and not motivated. Actually this encourages me as I am not the only one :) I think Dr. Joy felt it; it was obvious in the 4^th blog how we start to enjoy our sessions.

No comment on the 5^th and 6^th reflections. They were the most suffering time for me in this course, as I struggled to reach the course. I was very disappointed, but our supportive teacher asked me to look to the bright side and always be ready with plan B.

When we discussed the CBL projects in the 7^th session, it was the first clue for the interior motivation :). I didn't think that I will have answers for questions like “What is the Egyptian education system gaining? What is the world gaining? “But the CBL project carried a lot of answers. I felt that a lot of doors and windows opened in front of me. In the CBL project presentation day, we weren't motivated to the course only but the whole diploma. We gain a lot of ideas and learned a lot of experience and techniques for motivations. We finalized our course with abnormal ending (skype) which let me think that I must always prepare plan B

Thanks Dr. Joy for all what we learned from you in motivation or as teachers. Thanks to all my colleagues. They are the best.
