What I learnt in this time? - easy! Use technology in an effective and productive way.
So many tools available since the very first week: online resources for teaching like Blogs and social networks, ABCD Objectives, Effective web searches, Delicious, tools for aural/oral development, CALL and tools for reading/writting development, PBL, Webquests, Rubrics, multimedia tools, theories about student centered classes, learner autonomy and learning styles, LoTi, and so much other things that come from experience.
I am really thankful to Donna and my e-classmates with whose experience and knowledge I learnt a lot.
I will always remember everyone of you: Abdullah Saykili who impressed me since the very beginning of the course, Makiko and Tomoko whose names sound similar to me but by the content of their blogs (so much interesting) and their photos on them I can realize the difference; Marialoly, José Carlos Manrique (Jota from Cultural Arequipa), Boris, Galo Palacios, Mr. Holguer Heredia (the three last from Ecuador), Sylvia Moncayo, Mónica Vaca whose names are very familiar to me for being Spanish names and being Latin American colleagues, Malu from Brazil, Karolina De Vrgna who is the only one from Eastern Europe I think; Nehir, Athar Hussain, Akifa,Yea-huey and Meita I remember your posts and your blogs, Kamal Raj and Hari Maya my two project partners I remember your posts and your blogs (Kamal Raj to whose blog I cannot access); and ofcourse, Donna whose guidance was all the time Highly exceptional.
Dear Donna, I learnt a lot from you. Thank you so much for your support and all the things I learnt these ten weeks.
Wish you all the best.
Dear Dalton,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your last post of this week.
The ten week course was a great experience for us because we learned a lot interactively even though it was an online course which is very individual setting.It was as if we had met and talked each other in the class! The course itself is my ideal and Donna is a great teacher.
We (from different countries) discussed and learned each other by using English. I would like to teach English as global communication which enable us to learn from people around the world like we did in this course.
Thank you very much,
Tomoko Kurita

ReplyDeleteDear Dalton,
ReplyDeletethis course was indeed fruitful. As we end it, we have shared so many interesting experiences and visions of ELT that we're certainly ready to implement changes that will make us better teachers, more aware of the technology available and how to use and adapt it to meet our students' needs.
