week10

Hello All,
This is our last week! It's funny how time flies! Here we are, at the end of our learning journey together. We've learned so much, we've come so far! This course has really made me think of the wise and modern teacher I will become.

My  favourite theme was "Resources for creating class site or online exercises", because we've learned how to create  a Class blog, a Nicenet class, Padlet, and  so many wonderful things that can inspire us. I'm glad that this course has made me realise the multitude of ways through which I can make my classes more enjoyable and attractive.

I wish you all the best,

Week 9

Hello,

Time is running out and we are racing to the end of our course. Our projects are ready and, if we think of how much we have accomplished together, we realise we can never go back to our previous teaching styles. I'm proud of  the knowledge I have acquired  and I'm looking forward to sharing it to colleagues and students.

 This week we have revised different learning styles and this made me more conscious of my students' different needs and it has also made me reconfigure some of my lesson plans in order to adapt them to the different learning styles of my students.

Warm regards,

Anca

Week 8

Hello All,
I managed to finish drafting the project and exchange it with Elsa. Everything has turned out well after all our work, hasn't it? It feels rewarding if we think how much we've learned, and I believe that

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

I'm looking forward to learning about the next challenge.

Have a quiet weekend!

Tired but happy

Hello,

How's it going? I'm  working on my project and I find it a little difficult because we have to write quite a lot. But implementing the project is really fun and I'm pleased of the way it is turning out.
My students fell inlove with English again because now they can use it on a social network and they are allowed to bring their smartphones and other gadgets at school. The Facebook Group  - Cupcakes for Students and Facebook page Reading Class  are "cool" and "trendy" for them.

Keep on the good work!

Week 7

Hello everybody,

This week  I'm working at my project and I started to prepare the report we are required to share. I,ve created a facebook page entitled Reading Class   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reading-Class/391339404324089   and a Facebook group with my students
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1468669706758552/

Children are excited to use them and to bring their gadgets at school. So far I told them to write about the ebook we had read together on the Facebookgroup  and to film themselves while reading and asking comprehension questions on the Reading page. Many of them answered my requests. To my surprise, they were happy to do extrahomework!!

Week 6

Hello All :)

This week  has been engaging and fun. I've created an interactive powerpoint, which was enjoyable for my  older students . They asked me all kinds of questions related to our theme, Internet and Computing English and knew quite a lot of English IT words and abreviations they use mainly  on social networks.

Another exciting thing was that I created a Facebook page for my younger students, entitled Reading class, where they can post and comment using English. This was a lot of fun and they helped me design the page. I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out.

Happy blogging!

WEEK NUMBER FIVE

This week is turning out just fine. I've learned about assessment and for the first time in my life I discovered Webquest, and I think it could be a very interesting  and creative experience to make and use these  tools. They could give my classes an upgrade. I'll definitely create some! ;-)
