Dear classmates
By the end of this week we are very close to submit the final project.
The days passed very fast and we are overloaded with all these good information that will impact on our professional development and of course on our students learning achievements.
I think we need to think carefully about the final project because all the projects could be implemented in our classrooms.
I like very much article about autonomy and I think not only students who need to be autonomy but also also teachers as well.
Before I finish I want to say that i am very happy I found a peerpartner.

Reflection week 6
Dear friends
I can not believe that 42 days has gone and we only still have 4 weeks. It is really amazing and interesting course. Evey week I expect to learn something new, my expectation comes true and this exactly what has happened in this week. I have learned how to deal with large classes. Even though I am teaching a class which has only 27 students and this seems very small, my friends whom are teaching in colleges have large classes. So I sat down with them and I cascaded what I learn to their benefit. I also was amazed with the PowerPoint activity. I have learnt two things how to make a PowerPoint activity and most important I have learnt how the PPT activity can be interactive in the classroom. I think from my point of view an successful PPT is that involve all the students. The involvement of our learners is essential and very crucial in order to move from the teacher-centered to the student-centered. This of course will impact on the students and motivate them to learn. I have learnt that by using technology ideas or tools we can solve some problematic issue that arise in the classroom here and there from time to time. So I am focusing on using technology to make my students a good writer. More explanation and elaboration will be given in the project plan on week eight.
Since you are reading my reflection I hope that this course means to you a lot as it does on me.
I wish all the best of luck .

Reflection5
Dear All
Week 5 has passed very fast. In fact, I have learned a lot from the beginning of the course till today. New information added to my previous knowledge. In this week I have learned about using rubrics in assessing the activities or the projects. I have learned about new and alternative assessment tools. I like very much about the rubrics website and I am going to use them in my next activities. I can now work with my students with concrete rubrics that guide my students toward achieve their aims of the given activities. I have learned that students need to have the ability for self-evaluative. Self -assessment is assessment by students of their own strengths and weaknesses.
Project-based learning PBL is approach that give the students opportunity to work in groups to work in project by scaffolding students with instructions and resources. Teacher is a facilitator and students are independent learners. They depend on themselves and work on the project. PBL approach is very beneficial for the students and help students to use the English language in real situation.
Thanks

Week 4 - Reflection
Week 4 has gone and many things I have learnt since we have started this lovely course. Days and we are going to start week 5 the middle of the course. Till now everything is under control. The course goes smoothly and I think this is because it is well organized and because of the moderator. I have learned a lot from the articles like Krajka article and other articles. This week I more focus on the possible problem that I might face while I am using on-line lesson. I think that all obstacles can be solve as the teacher has got students who are highly motivated and they are willing to learn. Mostly they like the using of the technology. Other staff can be solved. Like the computer lab occupied, I can manage with the school principle and have some lesson there. Also most of my students have iPhone or iPad and can log into the net any time.
I am just worried about the slow learners. There are many good sites in the net but how can I help my slow learners to read fast in the net. Since English language is the L2 language. So some of them are motivated to learn but they still face difficulty to learn fast can catch the outstanding learners. I think I need to ask them to work in group in order to cooperate with each others so I can safe time and effort.
