The first thing I like most about this way is the idea of a "one-computer class". Yes, this is what I am talking about. In our countries talking about using high tech tools in teaching is simply wishful thinking. We face so many practical problems and obstacles with the most basic needs. Therefore, I found the ideas of how to work with one computer absolutely useful. This is real creativity. We really need to be creative within our given context.
The readings on learner's autonomy are very useful. The discussion on learner's autonomy is also useful. Good ideas have come out of this discussion of how the participants feel they con go about doing it. The net result of the discussion is that learner's autonomy is a process not simply a product. Moreover, this should be a top priority for the teachers as learner's autonomy is not simply a learning skill; it is a life-long skill.
The task of the week was to produce a lesson plan based on the use of one computer. I also like this very much because this helps us in producing good lessons with very limited resources (one computer).
The project step of this week was signing up with a partner and I have signed up with Faisal.

Dear Abed,
ReplyDeleteI too face the same problems when it comes to technology because of the limited resources in my setting. so this week as you have mentioned it paved a way to make good use of this limited resource.

Hi Abed,
ReplyDeleteNice overview of the week. Creativity and rethinking our typical way of doing things can go a long way!
