Week#10

This Webskill course has enriched the mind of faculty of teaching in many ways. The first and foremost thing that I have learned how can I integrate technology in the class. To do it several activities and practices I have done here. 

1.       Creating and using Blog

2.       Using and storing online resources in delicious

3.       Web searching

4.       Knowing and getting idea about ABCD model.

5.       Using Google docs

6.       Using Rubrics

7.       Making WebQuest.

8.       Writing Power Point Presentation.

9.       Creating ICA through Nicenet

10.   Writing PBL.

All the above tools we can use in our classes easily. These types of activities facilitate learning and motivate learners too. They also make class interactive and provide learner autonomy.

I would like to thank our instructors Mr. Robert Elliott and Mr. Russell Moon for their congeniality and cordiality.

Week#9

In this week many interesting matter I have learned. I have learned about different types of learning strategies and learners. I have come to know about active and reflective, sensing and intuitive, visual and verbal and sequential and global. Different types of learners influence on teaching style differently. A good teacher always tries to handle different learners innovatively.

I have also gathered knowledge about multiple intelligence. Scholar Howard Gardner advocates nine types multiple intelligence such as verbal- linguistics, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/ kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist and existentialist.

Depending on learners technology can be used to facilitate learning in each intelligence area. On the other hand the use of integration of technology in the class will enrich the faculty of intelligence of learners. To me, using nicenet, blog, padlet, PBL, Webquest, rubrics, QuickTime Karaoke and PPt in class may facilitate learner autonomy and prompt learning.

In this week I have submitted my final report with the help of my partner Mr. Pema. I am very much pleased to him.

Best of Luck to All.

Week#8

This week is very interesting, full of tasks related to technology in the classroom. In this week I wrote my first draft of project plan and sent to my partner Mr. Pema Chodup and also received his draft and interchanged our checklist.

To implement technology in class to engage my students I have created an ICA in nicenet. The link is http://www.nicenet.org/ica/class/home.cfm. Here students can get resources related to their topics and take part in discussion what they will have learnt from the resources.  

I have also created a websites on google sites, the link is https://sites.google.com/site/prodhanbdsiu/. In this website, students will get their necessary resources.

Another important matter is that I have also created worksheet on web poster wizard to engage my students in the class and out of class with task. The link is http://poster.4teachers.org/worksheet/view.php?id=172787.

Moreover, I have also created Bingo board with audio to practice my students’ listening activities. The link is posted in the week 8 resources.

Besides these I have learnt other activities based on technology which is most useful in classroom. These sorts of activities facilitate learner autonomy in classroom. I do belief that if we can use all sorts of such activities for different lessons obviously there will be a great change in the class and language learning will be prompt.  

Best of Luck.
