Web skills week 10 at a summary

The mega event and the course was in fact  true for me as  a dream can come true. In fact  every EL teachers  has sound knowledge in content and  the technology tools and skills enhanced by the course  has become scent to beautify the 21st century teaching/ learning.The skills and exposure I got from the course is an indicator of the empowerment of the teacher from Nepal like developing country who will represent himself among other teachers as epitome of courage,confidence,catalyst and change. This was a golden opportunity to learn from eminent scholars and educationists for me. My experience in this web skill course has convinced  me that I can be a vehicle for the professional  development of teachers in my district in the days  to come. It has refreshed my teaching and added new skills of integrating technology tools in teaching.
As my tenth week achievement I  did nothing more than loti survey. finally I am here with my heavy heart to say goodbye to all.

The course was a showcase for every teacher revealing where we are and what the future ELT teacher can do or be. Although Nepal is still a developing country and and it is a part of global village  the technology will reach  in every villages if  more teachers get this opportunity.

  I would therefore like to thank my sponsor, The Oregon University, RELO Kathmandu, US Embassy Kathmandu Nepal and me myself who has been able to  stand as an Access Teacher for having faith and sincere cooperation on me.

Week 9 Achievement on Learning Style

How fast the time was killed! Every week has brought something new to me. The course has brought  me new skills and  changed my mind on using technology tools in teaching. This ninth week has shined me with different types of learning styles and the way and  the technology tools to cope with. Now I am clear that different technology tools and websites are designed focusing individual differences and multiple intelligence. These are my due achievement from the course week. Continuous practice on such tools is so fun. I am here now if I have the chance to do this course from the beginning, I will be perfect one. Last week may be a time of great sadness and unwanted week.I offer my gratitude for all for your valuable comment, feedback, support and extra  time .
Thank you.

Refltion on Week 8

Dear Donna &all

Needless to say every week I was busy in many professional involvements. I enjoyed the Access Graduation of our first cohort on the last of February. The main task of the week was Project task and sharing with project partner. As a poor kid I have purposed nothing more than a simple project plan on using blog in the class. As many of you e-partners offered me as project partners but finally I could have Basu Guragai from Nepal which made me feel free. It was easy to have talks quite often. We are having talks once every day. Nicenet discussion and different readings and writing its reflection are other tasks of the week.  ANVILL is new technology tool that I came to know this week.Some exercise to be posted in the toolbox,wallwisher andare so funny. And I am worried that now we are in week nine ,it means we are leaving  soon.But this course has given me a new birth.

Thank you.

Waiting for your comments & feedback.

Thank you.

My Reflection on Week 7

As usual every week has become a busy week. This week also I was busy in many professional involvement. The main task of the week was readings and its reflection writing. I went through the article by Dimitrios Thanasoulas and Glori Chaika. But I prefer Thanasoulas's one. I went through and through but finally only reading the theory doesn’t mean interactive it needs implementations in communicative way. I tried to generate the ideas of what why and how learner autonomy. Focusing on how aspect I came to the conclusion that with the help of technology tools it is easy and faster to have learner autonomy which is a quick catalyst of learning. Working on project task and having project partner has become new great fun. I am unable to do anything on wall wisher or padlet. Hope we will be successful in our project until its deadline.

Waiting for your comments & feedback.

Thank you.

Practical Sixth Week

Practical Sixth Week

This week remained the week of my professional development. I was so busy in my career in different ways. One I had to take care on this web skill e learning course where I have to learn and share my experiences. This sixth week was focused on Interactive classes and Interactive power point. Teaching large classes is challenging. But using Technology in large classes is great ideas for interactive classes where we can enhance learning by engaging students actively. I was thinking how power point becomes interactive but as created my own power point slides and came to close of its meaning.

There was a mega event of the English teachers or fellows in Kathmandu Nepal called 18th International Conference of Nepal English Language Teachers’ Association. More than 800 participants got chances to share different presentation and 250 presenters presented their best sharing on ELT. I got a golden opportunity as I was carrying out task on power point I came closer to it. Now I am clear on power point and can carry out similar power point presentation.
By the end of the sixth week I have known many ideas on language teaching and learning through web skills course and my participation on NELTA Event. .In the sixth week, I have known what interactive and standard power-point is. Similarly, I knew the concept on teaching different methods on large class.

I am eagerly waiting for your feedback.
