And…another week to leave behind!!!! :(
Now it has become very explicit to me that each week of this online course has been adding value to my professional growth and development.
During this week, I felt so much relieved and proud as I understood well that much of what I apply in my teaching on a daily basis goes in line with what is claimed in autonomous learning. It has always been my main goal to set my students to become independent and responsible learners.
The readings of Samuel P-H Sheu and Dimitrios Thanasolaus really consolidate my knowledge on how I can add a lot more to my teaching style to boost my students’ learning autonomy. Of course, the rich discussion on the Nicenet was very deep and inspiring.
The task of a One-computer lesson on the other hand has given me insights into how I can be more creative and efficient while working with only one computer at hand. No need to keep complaining!!!! J Better one than none!!!
For long, this seemed to be a challenge. Now, I am convinced that I can achieve my goals using one computer only. Limitations can be overcome through creativity.
This week we had to find a partner among our course mates. I feel very enthusiastic to co-work with Tariq and Mingya Zhou who kindly agreed to be my partners for the three weeks to come. Working with a partner online is another dimension in this course and definitely a new experience for me but I am positive that it will be another added value to my performances in class. My only worry is that I may not be as resourceful as my knowledgeable partners.
Dear Khadija
ReplyDeleteIt's a great feeling that when we look back, we can actually trace our learning process. We've learned a great number of tools and techniques during a short period of 7 weeks!
We all learn from each other. You're knowledgeable in your own way! Besides, it's the motivation and spirit that matters the most!

Hi Khadija,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Muhammad that the community of teachers we have in the group make us feel very motivated to learn and share. I always read with great interest all posts on the Nicenet ( a nice name for the location of rich and smart ideas!) and this abundance of creativity can't leave one unconcerned. I hope the community will keep the ties so deliberately created by Donna and the program.
Hello Rashid and Olena,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to come visit and leave your appreciation. So we all agree that this course has been offering so much learning and above all we have
made great friends to keep in touch with.
