Week 10-Last but not Least

It feels strange to post a blog on a Wednesday.I feel sad because I'll miss our weekly discussions,readings,new learning experiences.....For me it was a wonderful experience.At first,everything was strange & confusing,as I wasn't that experienced using tech tools,but now I feel so confident,so happy in what I've achieved,learned and I hope to be lucky enough to be a participant in another course.I feel blessed and I want to thank Donna and our sponsors in giving us this opportunity to study this course.Bless you all.
I learnt how to create a blog,Rubrics,Delicious,WebQuests,Interactive PPs.
I learnt about different technology tools,search engines,CALL,Bloom's Taxonomy which I discovered is being taught here at the Masters Level,the list is endless.I hope I 'll get the chance to put into practice what I've learnt & to be a better teacher.I just wish we had covered something about Special Needs Students,because I believe we should learn just the basics in teaching them.Does the University have this course?
Au Revoir,

The 9th Week.

I can't believe that we're almost finishing.I just wonder,will we continue with blogging?I'll really miss all of you.I wish you all a successful project,but I feel sad.No more assignments,it feels empty.I learnt a lot about Multiple Intelligence &Learning Styles,let's not forget tech tools.For those who are lucky to have all the tech tools,they can implement them to cater for different learners,for those who don't,then be creative.After all,I think we teachers are really creative.We push ourselves for the students's sakes.It was my first time to learn about the Intrapersonal,Interpersonal,Existentialist &Naturalist MI. They are interesting concepts,which I'll explore later.I also did the quiz,and I was surprised too about my learning style.Donna is really intuitive.She says teachers try to teach according to their learning styles & I think she's RIGHT!Don't you?
This week,I began implementing my plan.I used what I planned and the lessons went really well.My learners were really enthusiastic and I got a positive feedback from parents.Some wanted to attend my next week lessons.I gave their kids homework using WebQuest to their ipads.My principal attended two of my lessons,and he told me to go ahead with my plans.I've not told my colleagues because I don't think they'll be positive.I discussed about it with my principal & our Professional Development Tutor,who's going to try to introduce/train us,using his own discretion.Ialso gave this site to my kids for ebooks,to explore during weekends as homework & a wooksheet to write their favourite characters and a book log too.http://www.magickeys.com/books.I'll see the response next week.I'm still working on the Rubrics.All the best.I'm wondering about week 10?
