Last week of our course

This week is last week of our online course. All these 10 weeks we had rich reading materials for reading and dicsussions  and blog writing. I get used now writing in blog.I will  encourag my students to use blogs. We will create our own class blog where students will write and  have their own as well.

 I just want to thank our dear instructor Courtney for being very supportive and undestanding. I had some challanges learning this course but did all my best to finish it.I did my besog write  i know i missed some blog writing and posting in nicenet. But i visited and re read and copied all reading and post of our coursemates. I learned alot from our coursemates. Thanks alot  to all.

technology integration

 Technology integration nowadays.
Nowadays our state require to integrate technology in education. Soon every subject teacher will be provided with one computer in the classroom to use it as visual aid in order to motivate and engage students in learning process. Our school now have  two labs with old and new computers but without internet access. Internet is  still expensive. Teachers bring their own internet modem if they want to teach or demonstrtae something.Some of the students alreday have computers in their houses. Students now can not imagine their life without computer. Computers now take the place of TV sets.There are number of internet cafes and computer stations where students go and play.
At school i do not have computer but i bring my laptop wiht myself. I do many things with my computer.
- Go through website and search diffrent information realted to topic of my lesson
-find lesson plans
-seach different games and play educational games
-listen to songs
- create lesson plans in Word and store them on file server, create and print handouts for students that can be saved and modified in future years)
-Conduct one-computer classroom lessons 
-online quizzes and diagnostic tools, graph 
-take tests online

I agree  about reasons for integrating technology integration is the necessity of today's students to have 21st century skills.

These 21st century skills include

• personal and social responsibility
• planning, critical thinking, reasoning, and creativity
• strong communication skills, both for interpersonal and presentation needs
• cross-cultural understanding
• visualizing and decision making
• knowing how and when to use technology and choosing the most appropriate tool for the task

week 9

This is week 9 and  this week  we have reading about  learning styles.
I learned new  information about learning style. I knew about learning style but did not use it alot in my classroom. Here is in this website http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/tf/felder/public/ILSdir/styles.htm I get some wonderful insights about learning style and strategies.

• Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying it or explaining it to others. Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first.

Technology is a greate tool for students to do.  For example they can create blogs, reicord their voice, create digital stories etc.

And not all students are aware of their learning style. The  task of teachers is to know the style of students and give task according to their ability. I have learned quiz where you canearn about your style. http://www.edutopia.org/multiple-intelligences-learning-styles-quiz

I had learned about my own style too.
