My week 3 Reflection

Dear Donna and colleagues,

Thanks again, another great week full of knowledge and support from you Donna and all my colleagues. Iam feeling overwhelmed doing all my assingments for week 3. It was little bit hard but quiet interesting because i had the chance to experience something new to me and also gained alot from it.

I had the chance to share ideas with my colleagues about Oral /aural discussion which was basically about listeneing and pronunciation and i also had a great chance  creating Delicious page and sharing with my colleagues some of the useful sites about all the four skills of English that i can share on the other hand with my students and other teachers here in my country. It was not easy creating such a page but i just learnt from the week1 experience(creating blogs) and i felt very happy when i followed the instructions that were given made it through the page.

I found it also quiet interesting reading a project done by Aleyda and shring their points with the other participants. they discussed some useful points which i can use in my classes to make it more dynamic. Reading their project gave me a clear idea about what my project would be like and also motivated to the point that i cannot wait to create my own.

‘’The more you learn, the better you understand’’ looking forward to sharing more with you Donna and all my colleagues

week 2 reflective Blog

Dear Donna and colleagues,

Thanks for all the support you provided for the week1 and two. i feel delighted after doing all my week1 and week 2 assignments even though not hundred pourcent good.

I have really leant alot from these two weeks because there were certain that i have never done in my life like creating blog and and sgaring ideas about my classes vitually. diffrent from week one i think that week two is bit hard for me because it was my first time to create such objectives and do such projects. but i love experiencing something new. for life is full of experiences.

I have really learnt alot of things from these two weeks and i know there are still more to come. and iam sure these things will contribute greately to my way of teaching in the near future. i had alot of problems creating the ABDC Objectives because the way we do it in my country is somehow different from what iam asked to do in this course. anyway i just tried my best and was asked to rewrite it again and i did. and it also took me alot of time writing the step1 projetc but all of this is normal to because these things are new to me and i loved experiencing them.

I hope these weeks were so good for you and looking forward to sharing more with you

Best wishes,

The start of a new journey

My name is Brahim Abdoulaye Thiam From Mauritania.

This the first is time ever I create a blog i used to hear about blogging and bloggers but i have never tried untill i get the chance to be selected in this course.

As far as what i saw blogs are not easy to create. it was bit hard for me because i spent alot of time trying to create and chose the template of my blogs. but i think blogs are really a way for speaking our minds out. And as a fresh teacher i alwys loved trying to teach my students using the new technologies. sometimes i tried to push them use the social networks so that they can intereact because people feel better sometimes when hidden behind their screens. I never thought of introducing them to blogs.

But after this wonderful discovery, i cannot wait to introduce it to them and help them get familiar with its use because iam sure through blogs i can do alot of things with my student. especially with the writing process. I also hade Journals: every students has a copybook in which they write everything they feel and those copybook are to be returned at the end of each week to the teacher to give feedbacks. and this can help them inprove their writing skill. so it would be best if we transform this to blog writing.

iam looking forward to hearing more from you.
