Last week not Lost week!

Dear all,

This is the last week in this course. I am happy that I have learnt a lot from this course. All the web tools were of highly beneficial to me and to my students. I will definitely make use of them now.

I went through the LoTi Framework. It was awesome. Dr. Chris Moersch has discovered seven levels of technology integration in the classroom: Non-use, Awareness, Exploration, Infusion, Integration, Expansion, and refinement. I can reflect on these levels. When I did my UG and PG, my course was at the Zero level, that is Non-use. None of my teachers used any technology. We, students, too did not use them at all. When I did M.Phil, my teachers used technology to make powerpoint presentation. So, it was the Level One, awareness.

Later when I joined the service, I used too used PPT in the classroom and later I started using other web tools like Google Sites. Recently I have learnt effective ways of fusing technology into a course. So, I hope my future classes will be of highly beneficial to students.

Thank you. Keep in touch

  2. Dear Pradheep! It was a great course where we could discuss many pedagogical issues, motivation of our students through technology use. Nicenet, Blog, Web Quest, other exercises -generators we will use in our classroom and this is already a new way of teaching and learning. We could also improve our computer skills, English language skills, communication skills, and many more..Probably, in future I will also try to use ANVILL that requires web-cams, laptops...Thus, we have many plans for future. I loved to communicate with you and learn from you too! Let's keep in touch! Have a good luck! Natalia

  3. Dear Pradheep,

    It was a course very rich in resources indeed. I did not think I would learn so many things. I will try to implement the learned strategies in my teching and I think this will improve the results of my students. The course is ending but fortunately we can go on posting and commenting on our blogs.
    Keep in touch!
