Hi again,
This is the end of my second week at
Building Teaching Web-Skills course offered by the University of Oregon.
I've enjoyed being part of this online course and I've learned a lot
during this week. Both of the topics covered during this week are of
great interest to me, especially web-searching engines.
I
am aware that searching for information on the internet is a tiring and a
time consuming process. However, with the help of different academic
search engines which I explored this week, I think it will be much
easier and enjoyable. I am used to Google everything I want to search
for and I'm not saying that Google is bad, but I'm glad that I've
discovered other academic search engines which would serve my needs the
best. Among the long list, I liked: I Seek Education, Sweet Search, Word
Central, English Central, and BBC English. I'm planning to make a good
use of these engines, apply them into my teaching, and conduct workshops
to introduce them to other teachers and students at my university. I
must admit that these search engines have opened a new window of
opportunity to me at both personal and professional levels!
Added to that, the ABCD learning objective model framework is of great benefit for teachers. It is easy to write on the part of the teachers and easy to be understoon and followed on the part of the students.
Also, I've started my first step in my project by describing my educational setting and the population that I'm currentlt teaching. I'm lokking forward to the next weeks of the course and eager to learn new things and go further in my course project.
Loves,
Houda
