Week 10: Time for Goodbyes & life goes on!

I feel like I’m going away from my family and leaving this supportive community of wonderful teachers. It’s really a sad phase to come to the end of the course and know that there is no week 11 or 12 …

Still, our friends’ brilliant suggestion of staying in touch and using social media for that purpose is comforting and I really thank them all very much for that!

I personally benefited a lot from this course. First of all I won wonderful friends and I have also learned pertinent ideas and skills for life. I became more concerned with the use of technology in my classroom.

My professional development is now on the right track and I hope to more such opportunities in the future. It’s thanks to the University of Oregon, Jodi, sherie and my webskills classmates that all this happened. So, thank you so much everyone!

My next step is to cascade this valuable knowledge and skills to my colleagues here in Agadir through workshops and to my students who already started working on a related project.

Good luck and Goodbye to all of you!

Week 9: An unforgettable experience!

This week was full of achievements, hardships and new ideas! I had a kind of a race with time since I wanted to submit my project report before the deadline and have enough time left to help my partner Sylvia as much as I could to review her report! It was an exciting experience though.

 

The chosen topic for discussion this week was of paramount importance because we sometimes go with the stream of the lesson and we forget about all those categories of learners. Learning styles of our students are different sure and we have to cater for all of them at the same time.

 

I’ve done a Woman’s Day workshop with my students and we invited two American teachers from the University of Ibn Zouhr, Agadir. We had an exciting session! The students seized the opportunity to ask our guests some questions and discuss the American & Moroccan cultures.I realized how it’s important to care for the different learning styles of our students through various activities!

The course evaluation survey reminded us of the ending of a wonderful experience with a bunch of illuminating ideas from very generous & highly qualified people. I really appreciated your company along this time, though it’s very short! Our success in this course is a key to an ongoing professional development.

Congratulations to all the participants and many thanks to our instructors!
