Week 3: Skill-building Websites for Oral/Aural Skills and Saving Bookmarks with Delicious

This week I have learnt  so many things. This is my first time I create delicious page. I like the idea where you can save bookmaker all sites you like to have wherever you are connecting from. Once I created it I started to share my favorite sites. Now I’m not going to worry about finding them.

Using technology tool to teach speaking and English skills is not new for me because I use to listen to songs and sing it with my students or   watch movies such as I ‘am Sam, The Blind Side, Freedom Writers or watch videos for few mints and discuss its subject or idea and But through E-teacher Program I discover useful and interesting links to teach listening and speaking skills. I have talked before about using blogs to teach my students but I was thinking how I could use it and finally during my reading Camilla’s sample project  which describes all details of her students behavior, classrooms and the technology equipment, I feel I’m ready to try it soon.

Week2:Web searching, ABCD Objectives and Describing a class

This week, I have learned new so many things. I’ll star with:  the ABCD objectives, Blooms’ Taxonomy where I’ve spent most time to read and read form many times. Actually I found it the most difficult and complex task I had. It was a really challenging thing to write you ABCD objective especially when I have read my classmates objectives that were measurable and observable. In my case, I wrote more than one behavior. During reading their objectives; they encouraged me to look more carefully to the ABCD objectives and understand how I can state one behavior because it was complex way. The only problem I had is failing to access the URLS. So I had to look in google http://www.edpsycinteractive.org/topics/cognition/bloom.html, http://teaching.uncc.edu/learning-resources/articles-books/best-practice/goals-objectives/writing-objectives, agsci.psu.edu/eLearning/pdf/objective-verbs.pdf.

 Second, why do we need to describe our class? This is the first thing that came to my mind. I have discovered another thing which is how important and the role of the class environment (students, classroom objects, technology tools) and the latter what I’m looking for. I’m sure the use of technology tools is the exciting things that you as teacher and your students will be interested in.  And finally, Web searching where we have found all sites that we need to help and guide our students to use them. They are loads of sites that fit all levels in order to develop English language skills.  here are some of sites that i'm going to star using with my student and I advice you to use them too : https://archive.org   where you can listen and read books and poetry, http://www.publicradiofan.com/   to improve you listening skill,
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/    where you find ipmortant events, speech ...etc

Now, we have everything we need to start using them. I’m totally ready for what’s next. 

Week 1: Reflective Teaching Blog

this is the first time I know  what blog means because I had no idea about it or even what can we do there.I feel I discouver something new and it wasn't that difficult to creat your own blog. I'm sure it will help me to keep in touch with my students. it is useful than other social media such as Facebook. I can discuss,give or correct  homework, projects;..etc of course to help them in studying and they don't need to wait until we meet.
