WEEK TEN

So here we are in the middle of week ten our final week in this gorgeous course .This week is like a review of the whole integration of technology in class.What works and what hasn't been tried yet .The course has empowered me with great tool s and resources regarding CALL .Although my real practice of what I have learned is just in its early stage I find it encouraging .Finally I got the feeling that my students and I share the same world .In the past during my speaking lessons it was like we come from different worlds .Now my students are interested and motivated to take part of the class .i cant wait to practice other technology tools I haven't yet used .

I think  I'm going to suggest a similar course or at least workshop for my faculty ,to enable my mates get advantage of technology .I'm already sharing what Ive learned and trying to establish a wide understanding for the importance of CALL .

I hope that I continue contacting with those Ive met through the course ,it has been a great opportunity to participate in such a fruitful learning experience .

Best wishes

WEEK 9 !!!!!!!!!!

Week 9 has begun what a course !!!!!So fast ,so many touching topics ,such interesting issues and days run !!!!!
Learning styles ,I thought they were only three !!!Now I know they're nine !!!!Thanks to technology all different individuals may engage in my English class .

I'm thinking about Janines question is it possible to encourage students to adopt other learning styles?How?
Well I believe it is possible the question is How !Probably changing strategies ,developing learner autonomy and doing much group work .
I myself find group work a way to discover other MI and different learning styles .?Getting to know which learning style one has tells you how you best learn .Which reduces time and effort .
Looking forward to see how the course ends I cant imagine ,they have been almost 9 great weeks every time I enter nicenet I learn something new .
