Congratulations all of you!
It was such a delicious and fruitful week spent
together!
I would
like to thank all my colleagues in this valuable course for their generosity
and help. This week I’ve learnt a lot of things through creating a delicious
page, bookmarking, searching about aural/oral skills and reading projects of
previous participants, but especially from your posts and ideas.
Before this week, I knew nothing about most of the interesting sites you
introduced to the group mainly delicious.com. I used to bookmark my favorite
sites the old way saving them on a word document or sending them to my email
box.
Now I am happy with the new skills I acquired.
I learned how to use delicious.com effectively and I started sharing it with my
students and colleagues around.
Concerning the websites for EFL teachers, I’ve
learned some bits through my ELT community here in Agadir that initiated some training
about this topic before especially within the Pedagogical Research Unit (PRU), which
I am part of. I am also very grateful to the people in my webskills class for
sharing the best ideas, websites and classroom practices they’ve got. It was a
great opportunity to learn more about the best ways to teach aural/oral skills
through the web.
Finally, I’ve
looked through some previous participants’ projects and found out some
similarities with my classroom situation, my students needs and my action
research focus. I came across some problems that were raised in my classroom
and went through the solutions the participants tried.
To sum up,
this week was a trigger for me to start working on the following steps of my project
and an occasion to discover more my instructors' & colleagues’ virtues!
