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! ;-)

WEEK 4

This week has been the greatest so far. I liked all the free ebooks I discovered on different sites and I can't wait to share them with my students. The articles about using CALL are interesting and I'm glad I managed to to write and use a lesson plan based on multimedia aids. My students also appreciated my efforts.

I enjoy the course more and more.What about you?

Hugs,
