My reflection for the 3rd week

Time to write my reflection for the 3rd week.

The week hasn't finished yet.
What I've learnt in this week? I think this is the question to which I should give answer and by reading my answers you will know what is my reflection for this week.

After logging in to Nicenet I saw three projects and one of them delicious.com seemed very interesting.


This website is usually used to create online bookmarks. We all use bookmarks in our web browsers, and they are very useful. But delicious.com is more effective and useful. Because, there going to be moments when you are using not your own PC and there is a very interesting website/page which you would like to save and you don't know what to do. If you know how to use delicious you can easily login and save that website/link.

 This site is easy to use and has classic design that is not boring, on the contrary, everything is made accurately.

Just couple days ago I experienced delicious. In nearest Internet cafe I found by chance a very interesting page with wonderful article and bookmarked it via delicioius.com.

In next project Robert asked us to Choose *one* of the PDF sample project reports from past Webskills classes and summarize what the author did in his/her project and we had to discuss what we liked about the project

I choosed Zlatka Dyankova's project and carefully read it. I had lack of time problem in the 3rd week, and had no time to read Zladka's project. Thus I printed it out and read in free time. Well, I gave information about this teacher's students, class and summarized what success did she achieve in her project.
 Zlatka Dyankova a Bulgarian teacher experimented a web quest project in zunal.com. She created a special web site and asked her students to follow all the tasks in her website. The students were excited about sports, games tasks in teacher's website and Zlatka's experiment was very successful.

In Nicenet I read some other course-mates' summarizations.
Nazeer Ahmed perfectly described Aleyda Linares's (Honduras) project perfectly. I learnt that Aleyda has got class of 16 undergraduate students and her school has a "rich" computer lab. She tried her best in teaching grammar with the help of grammar online resources and moreover she made her students to work individually etc,. It's just a short summarization.

In the third blog we had to write down which website we used for listening, speaking or pronunciation skills.
I checked others' messaged and felt a bit shy because most of the messages told me the perfect experience of my course-mates. From their messages I learnt lots of useful information and I am very thankful to all them.
As for me, I posted only two pages from BC and wrote some recommendations.



With respect,
Nasim Sadikov

I am very thankful to Robert for sharing this wonderful online instrument.

Let's sing the song "Happy birthday to you" for Robert!

Dear friends, 

I've just found out that today is our trainee, instructor Robert Elliot's birthday!

Let's sing the song together

"Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear Robert,

Happy birthday to youuuuuu!!!"

Wow, Robert, I feel happy to congratulate you with your birthday. Let me say you some wishes from me and our colleagues. Feel always young like you do and never feel tired to share your experience with other teachers like we. Happy birthday one more time. 

This card is for you:

2nd week reflection

Well, the second week is past and it's time to write my conclusion about last week.

The first half of the week was very difficult for me, I was seriously ill and asked from Robert to give me permission for couple days.

Well, now I am ok and ready to work in our online course :).

abcd objective - is very convinient to manage your lesson. I wanted to use this project in my classes, but unfortunately as I was ill I couldn't go to work. But I liked it very much and tried it on theme "English literature" but nobody replied it, it is because I posted my message too late.

About Search. I wrote my reflection here.

The last one. Robert asked us to write everything about our schools, classes, lessons in Final Project. It was very nice for me to give wide information about the place where I work. And I liked the way Elena Rivas  described us her school. Moreover, it was really interesting to read other teachers' messages.

Reflection on Search (week 2)

I am happy to see you in my web blog. Today I would like to share my ideas about Search that we had on 2nd week.

But before, I would like to say "thank you" to Robert, for showing us truthful resources in searching information for our English lessons.

After visiting this page and reading all this in this link: http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/literacies/information/5locate/adviceengine.html I realized that I am just a beginner in searching engines and that there are too many things which I can use for searching English teaching resources. For example, ask.com can help me to find any answer for my questions. In my lesson I sometimes turn to English literature, because I love foreign literature and scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search, worldcat.org become very valuable web resources for me.

This was my reflection for Search.

1st week report

The first week is almost finished and I would like to make some reports about this week.

 1) Creating my own web blog and designing it was very impressive and useful part.
 2) I introduced myself to other course-mates from various parts of our planet.
 3) The Ground rules from Robert Elliot.
 4) I added my hometown to Google Map.

  1) Sure, I had my web blog before starting this online course, but this time I created lots of new things for myself. After creating my web blog, I made up my mind to use this one not only for my online course but for my colleagues at my school. I informed them about this blog and welcome to see and read what I am learning. Moreover, I think it's time to create one more web blog for my pupils at school.

 2) Frankly speaking, it is great pleasure for me to be in this course with such experienced teachers like: Parvana Piriyeva, Mustafa Ahmed Ali, Irada Samadova and all others. Reading messages in Introductions page, I made up my mind to find out more about these wonderful people and learn more experience from them. Hope they will share their experience and ideas in their blogs or in facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/299047533531855/ Moreover, I am happy to meet with Robert, and feel satisfied with the tasks in our online course and would like to say thank you to him. Robert is doing his best in bringing us creative and interesting links.

  3) I am totally agree with ground rules.

  4) It was really creative by Robert to bring us Google Map. I've seen Google Map in some websites, but never paid attention on it. Showing to your friends, colleagues or even students is very impressive thing. Now I am planning to think how to use Google Map in my lessons. I think it would be very interesting for my students to know what is it.

Academic Blog

    Hello dear visitors of my web blog that I’ve created it to share my ideas in online course "Building teaching skills through the interactive web", University of Oregon. Today I would like to share what I learnt while creating this web blog. 

    In fact, I have been a member of Blogger.com for 4 months and have here one more web blog that was  created to share my experience in teaching English at colleges. But alas, I couldn’t find time to work with it and it is still empty. 

    Today, I make up my mind to create a new web blog and share here my reports. After creating this blog I found it funny, interesting, simple to use. Because, here we can post lots of things and share our ideas with friends, colleagues and even students. 

    Easy to use web blog will help me to share my skills while learning in online course. 

    My reflection on using this blog for class is, I had experience: While learning British Council's online course, I created my own web blog and asked my students to visit it and read some additional information about what we are having during lessons. They were very interested and some of them who had no PC's at home tried to visit website on their mobile phones. It was quite interesting and creative way to give some extra lessons.

   

Wish me good luck, my friends!
