Week 10

Week 10

We have come to the end of this very important and useful course in our career. Ten weeks and it went so fast.
We have learned a lot indeed : so many tools, so many theories about learner autonomy, learning styles, multilple intelligences. What I liked most about the course is how an e-learning course could be conducted with such an easy-to-use platform as google sites and wikis,
I feel like a new teacher, impatient to implement all those tools I have been introduced throughout the course.
In fact I can't say that one tools is most useful than another because I found that we always need an array of tools to enhance teaching and learning. I need time to  experiment each one of these wonderful tools.
It looks as if the journey has just begun

Week 9

Week 9

This week’s focus was on Multiple Intellgences and Learning Styles

Technology tools, because of their multimedia character are  appropriate to support  different learning styles. Twenty-first century teachers and students are lucky to have a wide variety of these tools. We must admit however that catering to our students’ different learning styles is not an overnight process: through using different strategies, trying to take into account learners’ learning styles is a daily quest.

This week also is the moment when  we have to submit our final plan. "Light at the end of the tunnel"? , as our great instructor, Donna said. This is one of the rare moment when I do not agree with her : it has been light all through these weeks. The amount of knowledge and resources we have acquired is huge. It is not really going to be the end but just the beginning ; as many of you dear classmates I will go through all the weeks again, read all those resources and try and implement what I have learnt. Even teachers of other subjects will benefit from what the webskills course has given us. Teachers of English at the vanguard of the teaching profession...

How can we then save all these resources for future use : just one suggestion concerning the course website : I have used  HTTrack Website Copier to copy it. Delicious is great for keeping all the links. I am expecting other suggestions from you dear classmates.

Another great week starts and a new journey towards "Building Skills Through The Interactive Web
