Week 9
I think it is a smart idea to have this subject discussed in this web class. From the first task to many tasks week after week, we never considered about multiple intelligences and learning styles. We learned a lot of technological applications that can be used in the class to enhance students' English competence and while we created lesson plans, power point slides, webquests and so on our concern was normally managed based on the age, level of competence, gender and their field studies. But after reading this week materials, I felt like I was woken up by the need to know the students' intelligence so we can choose more appropriate technology to be used to a particular student in order to maximize the learning output.
I took a step to test myself first with the learning styles survey that was introduced by the class and I didn't stop there. I also asked my students to test themselves using the same survey and I asked them to discuss it in the nicenet threads. I hope the information from student will help me to measure the need of my students which was always added by our class resources where we could select some activities that are suitable for a certain types in 'Teacher tap'. In there we can easily find a list of suitable activities for a certain type. I start to realized how important for us to treat our students fairly because they are not the same. They have their own preference and tendency in learning style because of different intelligences.
When we had the above lesson we had to revise our draft based on our peer evaluators too, so my best gratitude for my peer Helen and Sagun for their beneficial suggestions so that my final report can corrected and submitted. Now I am so curious to wait for the result from our tutor.
The last task that we have to do is the survey about the course. I didn't wait till 16 March to complete it so I sent it yesterday. It didn't take too long to answer (not 20 minutes as stated on the instruction), as I am satisfied with everything that I have been learning and doing in the pass 9 week with this class. What we learned here is not merely a blind technology but a very sensible teaching using technology as the aids.
I feel so lucky,

I do appreciated what we have gone through together also with the tutor and the other participants.
Keep in touch

Dear Imas,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long but fruitful journey we all have gone through and certainly there is so much we all have learned. It would really be great to see now and then for instance now that we are used to be here, on the net.
Take care and all the best to you,
