This is the first week of the course. It gives me great pleasure to participate in this interesting course. I have started reading the blog instruction, though I have already had a blog I really get the benefit of the blog instruction. I think learning by using the social network or as some people call the web 2.0 tools is a grate idea. Here I am going to apply this idea by next academic year. In fact we are at the end of the academic year in school and we still have two months and then the students holiday will start. In Oman students are off in July and August. So in the coming week I will try my best to work will my students. But for next year I will implement the blog in my school officially. Because of this I am very happy that I am participating in this course and I am going to benefit from it a lot.
I like very much the idea that different participants are joining the course from different countries. So this class is like "virtual class". Different people from different countries and different cultures and even ages of participants are verify. This gives the course the power to share experience and get to use from each other. I have read all the introductions that have been written by other classmates and I would like to thanks those who have put comments on my introduction part. I also apologise to those who I could not reply or respond though I really enjoyed reading about their identification.
Finally, I would like to thank the instructor and the people in the University for given me this golden opportunity to participate in this course. I will try my best to finish the assignments, tasks and the final project just on time. I just would like to tell you that the time between Oman and University of Oregon is like 12 hours when you start in the morning at 8 a.m it is 8 p.m night here in Oman.
Thank you all and I would be very happy that everyone have a look at my blog. Please feel free to comment on my post and if you have any comment just write it down here in the blog.

Hello Naif!
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks great, and the photo of sunset is just amazing... as you said, it is great to be able to work together with people of different backgrounds and cultures, and to share ideas and experiences. No doubt we are all going to learn a lot over the next 10 weeks. I wish you best of luck

Hi Naif, it's great to see that you're already thinking about how to implement new tools in your classes. I'm sure you will have many many more ideas by the end of this course. It's kind of like a snowball effect....
