Week 10

Week 10

I cannot believe that this is the last task for this webskill course. Time really flied.
I think I have learned a lot through this course and I really appreciate that I got this opportunity to learn and challenge new field relating with technology. I am so grateful that I worked with my hard-working colleagues and that I was taught by supportive and enthusiastic teacher Donna. Thank you so much for supporting me and encouraging me. Without your help and support, I could not have gone through. I am so happy that I could make it this far. Thank you so much!!

As for my last blogging for this course, I would like to talk about what was the most interesting topic.

I really liked when I made Jeopardy. It was time consuming but I have always wanted to make one since I have known someone who used Jeopardy on the computer before. I think it doesn't necessarily have to be connected to the Internet when students play the Jeopardy which I made, so it is more realistic to me since my school does not offer me the access to the Internet all the time.

I also think learning how to make a classroom website was really useful. Even though I cannot have students use the computers with the Internet access at school all the time, if I have a classroom website, there are a lot more things that I can do and have the students do at home.

Lastly, learning about rubrics have changed my thinking totally. I didn’t have idea of showing rubrics to the students first. But I learned that it is really effective. Donna proved it. Since she kept telling us how we were going to be evaluated, I could do much better than I had expected. I tried hard to meet the expectation and it made my work really easier. I want to use that tactics from now on. I will use rubistar for that.

I don’t find any materials we learned boring or not useful. I think every single thing I have learned is going to help me sometimes in my career.

I would like to say thank you to Donna and my colleagues and I will make a great use of what I have learned from this course for my students.
This course changed my life.
During this course, I have taken TOEFL ibt for the first time and I could get my target score, which will allow me to apply for the graduate program in the U.S.
I think I will try to pursuit my dream of studying TESOL in the U.S.
This course gave me some confident.

I will keep working hard to improve my teaching!!
