When it rains, it pours! When
I thought this class was almost over and there was nothing more to do or learn,
we were introduced to so many new and indispensable tech tools for educators. I was amazed by large number and felt
this course will never cease to surprise us. I
realized I have a lot to read and learn and a lot of tech tools to check out
and try, so I have to keep my sleeves rolled up for a long time.
I have created an online discussion class on Nicenet which
surprisingly was not as difficult as I expected. I have tried to use Blackboard
and almost created a class but I felt the tool is too sophisticated for my needs
at this point and I have to spend more time familiarizing myself with its
features and menus. I have
created a class blog and a Padlet page and explored different tools in Hot
Potatoes.
Furthermore, I worked painstakingly on my final project plan and I
am almost done with it except for a few loose ends that need to be tied up. I
still have to work on choosing content for my class blog and the Padlet page
before setting them up for students to use. I
will make sure everything is ready by Friday to meet the deadline.
It was a very good experience to work with a partner and to check
each other's work and provide feedback. Nigora was an excellent partner for
this project and I love working with her. Her enthusiasm and productivity are
unmatched. This experience
helped me reflect on my plan and set realistic goals for my students to help
them enjoy using technology.
This is all for now and look forward to another productive week.
Dear Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteReading your blog is so interesting that I feel as if I am reading an interesting book. You have a great talent. Well, I think it is in your blood. You must have someone who is a poet or writer in your family.
Well, I was also planning to try blackboard and nicenet. We will see what happens.
About partnership: Your help was tremendous and I thank you a lot.
You are the best!
Regards,
Nigora
