Week 1 Wow great work

Hi all 

It is our first day in the course , the feeling is mixed of eagerness to learn more and more and sad that it is my first  time to use the blog and Nicenet . It takes time to know how they work but quickly I learnt how to use them. As I mentioned in the introduction page about the quote I like is " Never too old to learn " so I have to learn all about technology and how can it benefits me in my career and in teaching students. According to the new generations these days , they prefer learning by technology and what I also realize it facilitates the teacher's duty in the class. 
Also, it is my first time joining online course I thought it is difficult but now I don't think so because of Donna's cooperation by giving us directions very clear, step by step .
Using the blog will benefit me in developing my skills in English  language and teaching techniques besides developing my personal character how to share information with others and accept their comments. On the other side, I can use this technique with my students how to practice what they have learnt in English language class with their classmates by writing skill what is difficult for them especially for the first levels. Another thing, this blog will help students to overcome their shyness in using the language better than face to face discussion.
   
Active active active till the en of the course ...
I'm sure I will improve my language skills first, my techniques in teaching . The next class in teaching will be different and more exciting. What I will gain also and what is precious for me is knowing you , teachers from different countries and being friends forever.

  1. Hi Yeman
    I do share your feeling about the excitement to start our work. Not all I can do at the firs step, but I agree that the teacher should not lag behind her students. Being a lifelong learner means you are learning new skills and keeping up in your field, continuing professional development which helps you keep up to date and keep on moving in the knowledge society. Stephen R. Covey shares personal career advice covering why lifelong learning is a necessity and the paramount importance of continuing education. We should educate the students of Digital culture considering the quality of the education and HOW they are taught.

  2. Education is sustainable . I believe that teachers should be creative and enjoy teaching because of my experience in teaching the more I become excited and enjoy teaching the class, the more positive feedback I receive from the class.

  3. Hello Eman,

    I agree with you that one is never too old to learn. When we give up on learning, we are finished. I wish I could journey back to your country--it is beautiful.

  5. Hi Eman and Olena,

    "Stagnant water smells and moving water appears fresh" Proverb.

    Teacher's professional growth comes from the spirit to better oneself in teaching. For that the teacher has to keep picking and using new ideas and strategies in the class. For teacher, every new day should bring a renewed spirit of making progress and contributing his/her valuable ideas to the people concerned.

    By the way, I feel myself lucky that through your posts and comments my spirit also gets renewed. Thanks you all.
