Week 10

Hello everybody,
Is it true that we are almost at the end of our training? The one who wanted to give up some times ago, now doesn't want it to finish! Just to tell you how happy I am to be able to remain in the team till the end of race. What a wonderful team! I haven't thought that I will feel like this at the end of the training.
I learn very much in this training. It is true that whenever you are preparing a lesson you write objectives, but the ABCD model of objectives is something which helped me clarify better my objectives for all my lessons now.
Using technology tools in my class also allows me to change my way of having class and it lets me think that my former way of doing things was only teacher-centered approach. Now using downloaded materials in class allows my students to gice their own opinion with joy and make be engaged in going to Internet and find more information about what we had in class.
I would like to create a padlet for my class because it is a useful tool to share like nicenet. Next year at the beginning of the school year I will try to,introduce padlet in my classes of higher students and a Nicenet too. We are almost at the end of the second term and the third term of the school year is very short for me to use these technology tools. I hope that next year I will have Grade 11 to 13 students so that they will improve their writing skills through these tools.
I haven't been able to do the Powerpoint assignment because I didn't know it. But I will learn how to use it with an elder colleague here and I think I will have a lesson presentation in a poweroint format!
I know I haven't learnt everything about this training but I think that what I grabbed will be very useful for my teaching.
I hope all of you have the same feeling of having spent a wonderful time together. I am grateful to all the group because I really gained a lot.

Best regards,
Bénéwindé

  1. Although we are in the final part of the course, I still don't like to think that it is the end. I would rather say that it is the beginning. The beginning of an attempt to integrate what we have learnt in our class. Don't you think so?

  3. Yes, what we learned is really helpful, and still you have time to familiarize yourself more with the other platforms we did the tasks on and eventually use them.

  5. Hi Bénéwindé,
    Don't worry about "not learning everything." Some things need time to sink in, and I believe wonderful discoveries are still ahead for you.

    This is not the end ;-)
