Sharing experience is sharing knowledge..

Hi friends!!

This week is really crucial as we need to implement the change through technology that we visualize during our final project. I really was at a loss as we are in the midst of exams and there is no class to implement such endeavour. But keeping in mind the help, encouragement and guidance of Robert, my fellow friends and also the study materials, I felt that I could work on the project and find the important technology to enhance my teaching. I am working in that line and will come up with proper technological support to enhance the classroom transaction.

I was initially thinking of developing two skills, namely, Listening and writing in my students. But Robert suggested that if I take up both, it might be a bit messy. It was Robert who suggested me to go for enhancing the Listening skill in my learners. So keeping that in mind I am going to incorporate the technology enhanced programs to my teaching to develop the Listening skill in my learners.

Regarding my experiences this week, it was simply wonderful. I had learnt so many new things that took me to surprise. Initially I was not very sure about my involvement in the various tasks like creating the Interactive Power Point. Moreover we were provided with materials on engaging students in large classes. I found it really very crucial also as I teach in huge classes that have 150 students. So after going through the reading materials, I gained very insightful knowledge about involving my students in various works and tasks and also how to do that in a very planned way. Collaborative Learning, Learning through technology etc, are some of the areas that will hugely benefit me and teachers like me.

As we are heading towards the final stage, I am feeling happy and enriched. I am learning things which I had never done before. I am really thankful to the Univ. of Oregon and Robert in particular for extending all kinds of help and encouragement.
