10 th week

Our final week ! Ugh.... what a wonderful, building up weeks have we had !

Learner autonomy and one computer classroom -main topic was the most appealing topic it was.
As an educator , you allow  or create autonomous learning environment to the students. Since it is the prevailing method of learning, I want to foster it and do it as much as I can in my e-teaching integration.

One computer device and mobile classroom is easily adaptable technique for me. Or just one computer and a projector is my class tool .


Thank you for all the indespensible course materials and exercises. I wish the best to everyone . May our teaching -produce many many productive good human beings.

Going for wrapping up YET, busy week

Dear Donna and Teachers!

As the topic gets most interesting at this point of training. As a facilitator and instructor, we all want everyone to succeed in their study and be happy and satisfied in their L2 learning.
Knowing the multi-intelligence  learning styles and tech tools that are appropriate more than benefit. Balancing our curriculum on the learning styles is sensitive and attention focusing area these days in our teaching. (Impacting one's learning process and forming into different human being is a reward we like to see among our students )
Covering and discussing the weekly topic " LEARNING STYLES AND TECHNOLOGY TOOLS " has added up in the previous week's Themes obviously . Now I know how to narrow better in my curriculum design and lesson plan from various perspective study .
 I have focused more on the ESP courses. Truly I have taught in different settings and trained in ESP teaching in some extent. I can easily grab what major students   dominate in which intelligence learning. I have picked up Foreign relation worker, translator and teacher majoring students  as I made some attempts to suit their intelligence style and technology tools.
There is a need that is arising again to learn the tools myself.
I have had somewhat demanding week as I getting into work setting and family situation and eve teaching. I have logged my Final Plan writing a few hours later than deadline as I was mistakenly  calculated. But logged it into. It seems I couldn't develop it into more detailed plan.

I have loved Alex's design of group course and participants. Why don't we make it  group logo and make folder with it?

Thank you thoroughly to UO training  project. I value it !  Thank you full heartedly Donna and Jodi.
Without your gracious ,outpouring support , we would have had hard time! You show us rolemodel of a great teacher!

Go on to the last week ! Whew!

FUN Week 8

Dear colleagues!

What a busy week or weekend it has passed on.

In the past week, I have submitted my rough  draft to my peer Karima and gave her feedback. It is more fun than I thought which is a sign of autonomous learning. From the task of the week, I have created three class blog and site on Google which needs more design. Work demand is increasing which folds up everything.
Thank you my sheers for your feedback and interactiveness.
I am taking a side toward my plan writing which focuses on fostering speaking practice on web applications.
 Keep pressing on !

record of technology related change in my class

Courses currently taught: Writing  sentences and paragraphs to different four groups.

Changes I have begun are : assigned intermediate students to create a blog and created class blog for elementary and early pre-intermediate level students. They are added to class blog and start submitting their journal note to class blog as the Teacher checks them off.

It made assignment more interesting to do. I could see the excitement on their faces and efficiency in them. evantually I am going to give them  auto-editing web as the task gets harder for intermediate students.

I must design webquest which I am keen on using.
Now my purpose is to see if Students will write better with more effectiveness. I am keen on developing wiki or something  for my blogrolls as well as for students.

I am thinking of creating interactive web and quiz for the lecturing part.

What do you think of my changes i have begun Donna? Thanks .

Light week for task but Project study begins

Dear all,

It is my 2 nd typing as I have deleted my first , completed one by accident. ;<
The readings have substantially added to my knowledge and fed me. I drunk it . Learner Autonomy ,linked with Autonomous learning as we have discussed the learner-our students. I believe this kind of facilitating demand studies and well planned template.

I have sent a request to Karim becoming mutual partners.

Padlet was easy , again you had to do research.

Goodluck on the project ! It is going to be lots of work. But will do it.

tough

Dear teachers and Donna,



Hello! This week was fantastic !

I am not a big person of PP expert only in needed. To be truly, our department office shared 4 virus full computer so it really wasn't soo wonderful work setting for experimenting this  and that. When you are busy with textbook usage, you just get used to it.
Nevertheless,   this past week was kind of demanding life events  as regular. I couldn't do Interactive PP so well.  Some functions wasn't on my Microsoft PP 2007 program. I froze again. I could have gotten assistance from my someone who is an expert. But I am very happy to know about it.

Tonight , I am thinking of having my Ss sign up a blogging in Mongolian language and english. So I am excited!

I simply couldn't create my interactive PP very successfully. I created one and posted it. I am going learn form my sheers! 
Thanks again for the course.

Project writing is keeping us up very busy! Thanks teachers!

REFLECTION ON THE 5TH WEEK

Hi all ,

Week 5 had new discoveries in terms of pedagogical view.I have done some reading on  Alternative Assessments, Rubric , moreover on Web quest and PBL , articles by Less Teaching and More Learning" by Susan Gaer was far more beneficial .  PBL s she has done was  great for Students benefit. So Yes, discussion was done on topics above. Autonomous learning occupies more in language learning! Thanks to this instrumental training !
I have created Rubric- it is fabulous! I can create any rubric I want and print it out for PBL, Webquests or I can just share with Ss. It was easy!
Project Step 4 was done and I have posted it. I don't quite know what to do on courses like Translation practice , Scientific translations. I could use these method on ESP courses as well.
Lastly, I am blogging.

P.S. Webquest, I am having hardship creating one. I hope to figure it out. This training is beneficial.

Project remaining tasks are a head.

WEEK 4

Dear coursemates!

Thanks to the big cooperation on the course! Thanks Alex, Rita, Donna and many other  outstanding coursemates, Yuliya, Soon Jen, Amira, and etc.


Week 4 was overwhelming again!

This week,

 I have read using CALL for writing and reading skill. I loved this part just as the previous week exploring  relevant webs, finding out about Digital library and e-books and on. I fall love into writing class technique which need lots of reading practice. So absolutely, I loved to find it out. :>) I have posted my discussion on NIcenet and designed ABCD objective for my Pr-Intermediate writing class. I felt it turned out not greatly in detail and I might have missed at least couple of answers in Lesson Plan.

 I have presented problem statement of my speaking class which lack LAb time and need of exploring some video and speaking practice that can link to my Basic class programme but mainly speaking authentically practice.

Lastly, I am blogging. Thanks for staying in tune everyone! I feel I am getting more used to the course.

Aural and Oral Skill - refelction of WEEK 3

Dear course mates!

I believe it finds you great . This past week has been a little better but very exposing to new skills and a lot of webs! How fascinating!  I still spend longer hours, I come to my evening class work office from 50 min away area in traffic jam and work on it.  Sometimes my fingers freeze over the keyboard ! It is taking long. But thanks to Donna's post on her blogging.

I have done following assignments  for our course 3 rd week.

  

1.  Weekly reading and posting a discussion on next two topic-"New Perspectives in Teaching Pronunciation": Maria Busa. "The Employment of CALL in Teaching Second /Foreign Language Speaking  Skills" Julia Gong . The 1st article by Maria Busa has been very exposive to me as I concern phonetic teaching.CALL article has given me wonderful overview about computer assisted language learning and list of web links Donna provided. The reading was hard at the beginning however, once you got the logical connection is became a lot easier.

 2. Nicenet discussion participation .  Posted  about the findings I have come from readings and list of link and my own opinion on the writers. I have come to realization that what an enormous amount of resources are available in the cyber  net and know the links and accesses to it,such as esl.about.com onestopenglish.com  have given me some major links that are upgrading in my teaching .Conversational links at esl.about.com

 3. Wonderfully, social bookmark designing instruction was provided. It has been struggle how to keep or save your favorite links. I have created a social bookmark using delecious.com 

I believe it finds you great . This past week has been a little better but very exposing to new skills and a lot of webs! How fascinating!  I still spend longer hours, I come to my evening class work office from 50 min away area in traffic jam and work on it.  Sometimes my fingers freeze over the keyboard ! It is taking long. But thanks to Donna's post on her blogging.

4. I  located my URL on wiki and added only three links . https:delecious.com/khuyagtt9  In fact I should add more links to it. There is a need for me to surf more in given resources of links.

Delecious.com is is very useful and organizes all our favourite links in the internet. Since it is e-learning, e-links are there! 

5.Reflection on Sample Project Report. Now the Real construction is entering it gate!:>)  I chose Author: Prem Bahadur Phyak from Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Project: Project Report for Graduate Students in the Department of English Education, University Campus, Tribhuvan University, Nepal.

My reflection on above sample project report was posted on Nicenet discussion.-hot project starts! This report was how she planned  and conducted action research, which involves a change related to technology use in her classroom setting and students usage of technology.  At the same time, two ideas of class project is coming into my mind. 

My intermediate/upper-intermediate level writing class is going to be in similar situation, I am going to teach them citations, researching, writing essays and formal writings using same strategy as she did. Google account, blogging, wiking, providing links using some of the writing lesson plans and instructions on ESL.about.com and other links.

Relatively. internet access is quite common here. You need a device. 

6. Reflection of 3 rd week, blogging helps me to compile findings and learning I am getting throughout the week and do analysis.I congratulate on myself !  I am glad this week  has come to an end.  Have a great weekend course mates! 

P.S. Now I  need to discover more or study more and add into my social bookmakring in Delecious.com

WEEK 2 , REFLECTION

Dear all,

Warm greetings from cold Mongolia! I can see this course is going dynamic and involving. I still feel I am not being at my most performance. I hope to catch on at better performing for the course. Congrats to you those who have been "crazy" in your learning !

Course assignment of the week seemed  relatively a bit easier and less rushing !  Whew!

This week,

1. I got newer  information on Web Searching. 

www.noodletool.com/debbie/literacies/information    provided by the instructor is refined engine for me. There I can find lots of teaching resources, sample lesson plan, games by accessing to Inute or more. 

This engine is going to be used commonly . For a limited time, I have come  two or more web-pages that was useful  which I have summed on  posting  on  Mr.Nicenet. 

Normally I have used web searching on my Master thesis writing in Linguistics here at a college and my topic was about "horse color name analysis " of english and mongolian. I had to find scholar writing on the topic. Now I know better engines for web searching .   It definitely takes time and practice/discovery on more literacy. 

Meanwhile, Technology Tip  and Choose the Best Search for Your information needs  . The provided sites also gives me chance to narrow my search and provide annotated academic webs. 

2. Writing objectives. I fully agree with well written class objective." ABCD " method model helps me to checklist my objectives I write. It is easy to remember . I should get on into practice of checking ABCD model on my written objectives. This assignment have provided some good resources on writing objective. It is a tough job though. Currently  I have been teaching couple of translation course . It has been tough.  I can use this model in any course objective writing.  I have posted a sample ABCD model on Mr Nicenet. 

Thanks again for the wonderful sources ! It is helpful. 

I am better in teaching ESP courses and some general English level classes. Every time you teach , you learn new things. I must use more resources on my classes. Writing is definitely my favorite class to teach. The method is going to be used more frequently on these courses! Goodluck on myself ! 

3. Now I am blogging on my blog . :>)

I conclude that noodletools.com  is most commonly used for my teaching!   Fantastic learning it has been. 

Thanks to Donna and sheers!  Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone,

This week, so far, I am on step 5. 

I have filled in  the Survey, posted Discussion 1 with  Self Introduction, Read Ground rules and Rubrics continued posting on the Discussion 2 following Donna's question and have finally created my Blog  and now I need to submit my URL to Wiki.
