In the past 2 years, two of my colleagues were dealing and talking about some tasks that they should do until a certain time and they seemed really interested. While they were sharing what they learnt, I was impressed by the way they found solutions to different classroom problems, the way they enriched activities and brought variety into classroom. It was that moment I had decided participating in this course. Luckily I was chosen for this course.
At first, things, tasks, assignments and two post policies etc were a bit confusing. Even, I forgot to post answers to other blogs in the first two weeks. Allocating time for the readings was also challenging as I as also busy with teaching 40 hours a week both for day and night classes, writing my thesis and studying French for Phd. However, the more I read the more interested in the course I became. I noticed that many of the problems in my mind had their own solutions and when technology was integrated into classroom activities, things were becoming easier. For example, teaching large classes is an important issue for many teachers of English Language. Things such as Think-Pair-Square, ConcepTest were really helpful. Additionally, learning online tools such as ANVILL, Project Based Learning together with WebQuests, Multiple Intelligences, issues such as learner autonomy etc, all these have helped me to enrich my perspective in language teaching.
I want to thank everybody who helped me here, in this course, by suggesting new ideas which I would never think myself, by making comments to my posts, to my peer editors for my project and especially to Robert for his motivating feedback and generous help in guiding me in my way through this course.
