Assessments

Till now when I'm talking about assessment, I panic. As long as I like to represent my effort, but i like if the assessment time pass without noticing. As a teacher I like to give different assessment types to evaluate the students and to work with weakest area in understanding the idea. Each time i,m trying ti tell my student you have a quiz they show me different faces. So I decided not to mention the name quiz and make as discussing session, to eliminate any fear feelings. I added to the quiz a one-to-one discussion about the mistakes they did in the exam. I found when they solve the quiz only with me they answef right but just when I leave them sometimes they are not concentrating. What do you think should I do to increasecthe solving ability in the quiz.

A Vision of K-12 Students Today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_A-ZVCjfWf8


I really would like to share this video with you (I’m sorry I couldn’t upload it, but I added the link). With these massive kinds of technology and with the requirements that career leaders are asking to possess in our graduate students, I found as teachers we are responsible to help our students to find the proper job and to help them gaining the 21st century skills. Whatever if we are still digital immigrants, we should work hard to learn about these technologies and use what we have from teaching experience to develop these skills and to shape our graduates’ minds and talents. What would you do to answer the calling of our role in the learning process?

My Teaching Experiences after this Course


We came finally to the end of this course. The first day for me in the course was a bad day for me; I was thinking to just drop. I was afraid from managing my time and getting excellent grades at the same time. Then after the second class I started to attach to the spirit that the Dr.joyanne was spreading through the class. I love teaching and love to add something to others, so I started to gain a lot of experiences through the class that we could use in teaching and in developing our techniques. I started to have and get new friends. I started to be attached to the technology more and more. I started to think as digital natives when I am writing my lesson plan and try to choose a kind of technology that I could use with my kids to make it more powerful and having more fun. Till now I still wait each Sunday to add something new to my life. I really appreciate Dr.Joyanne role in transfer her experience to us without noticing this.  I’m really very motivated to continue in this diploma.

Top 10 Reasons to Use Technology in Education: iPad, Tablet, Computer, L...


I really woul like to share this video. I liked the idea about replacing the text books with a digital reader or using IPad or Tab in the classrooms, even doing the written homweork which is sometimes the boring step in th elearning process. I liked the idea " the teachers will not be replaced with the technology but the teachers not using it will be replaced with teachers that using technology". By the end of this century the classroom activities will be changed totally. Rather than students holding books and notes and pencils, they will have their IPad or Tab or a Laptop that hold everything they will need in learning. What do you think?
