Week 10

Since the course is almost over, I would like to sum up what I have learnt and what I am going to use with my students.

Firstly, I became proficient in keeping my personal blog. This tool is not only interesting but also useful for students to master writing skills, to reflect upon the knowledge they get.

I started using Rubrics to assess my students work. It's the easiest and straightforward way to mark a course. I will definitely use rubrics with my learners.

Nicenet is another excellent opportunity to work over writing competence, to hold a discussions of different issues.

Google sites and Wiki with Wikispaces are platforms for sharing ideas and collaboration. They can introduce students to different assignments and webpages. I am currently working over my Wiki classroom to use it with my students as well.

WebQuest is another excellent opportunity to keep students organized and busy outside the classroom. 

I also learnt how to implement Padlet, Quizlet, Voicethread, ANVILL, Voxopop, Mind Map and other tools into the classroom, to turn them to good account. 

The creation of Jeopardy game was a good experience for me, too. Now I can easily create as many such presentations as possible.

I have come across different articles and resources, like, for example, the last one http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/about/my-best-of-series/, and all of them can be easily saved  and accessed with the help of Delicious.com.  

Every week I explored many interesting resources, programs and articles which would help me to develop my web skills, to make my lessons interesting, diverse and practical.

The only thing I could add, as Nahla suggested, the second part of Building Teching Skills Through the Interactive Web part 2.

I am glad that I knew so many things and found so many friends! Thank you very much for such an excellent opportunity!!!

Sincerely,

Satsita
