I have always looked forward to the time when I can start writing and shaping my blog post but this time, I’ve always found one reason or another to postpone doing it. The thing is, I hate thinking it is the last one I will publish on our class wiki; I though hope that we will continue to keep in touch through our blogs and share our reflections concerning the implementation of the insights gained during the training, Indeed, now that the training is nearly finished, I can’t help thinking back of those useful web tools we were presented with all through these ten weeks.
I have to say that those tools like WebQuests, Wallwishers , PowerPoints, Rubistar or Hot Potatoes for example, are extremely useful in as much as not only do they help promote students’ autonomy but they enhance their critical thinking as well; thus, I will certainly use them with my students. Besides, I will make it a point to improve my webskills and score better at the Loti survey one year from now.
I would like at this point to congratulate the team who designed the course on the choice of the topics offered to us; all of them were indeed interesting and useful whatever our teaching situation; for example, learners will benefit from being engaged in a project, wherever they are from; teachers will gain in knowing what their students’ learning styles are, and being aware of useful search engines and websites and being shown how to efficiently store them was most helpful. So, thank you very much indeed as the course really contributes to the development of the teaching of English worldwide. Now, if I may suggest one thing, I think it would be a good idea to include a video conference in the activities offered.
I would like to finish with a heartfelt Thank you to Robert, for his unfailing support all through the course, and to all my online classmates, for their insightful comments which helped me enrich my teaching experience. Thank you, guys!!!
