Week 10

Dear All,
the particularity of Week 10 is that we still want to discover more about It and language teachers.

LoTI helps teachers to realize their level of integration. But on reading Alex's post I can't help wondering whether reaching other levels depends on the availability of IT resources. Basically I personally think that it depends on its use. According to students, LoTI will vary. In some classes, it is a marvel to use a laptop, I just imagine in some remote areas in my country.

I feel really comforted in using IT in my class. This online course has been of a great quality. The course was far from being boring and too theoritical. I started sharing with my colleagues on writing ABCD model objectives, it's a chance to participate in the course but we have the huge responsibility to share with our colleagues to strengthen their strategies and techniques to motivate students and maximize learning.

Each week has its specifity, I tried to range from the most important to the least. I couldn't because I learned something that I didn't know before. Participants were ready to share with one another.

I copied some lessons plans, and projects so as to implement them and to encourage my students to learn.

The guests speakers come at the right time. Special warm hands to Donna who've been willing to share and give constructive feedback.

Learning Styles

Dear All,

It's nearly the end of this training course, as time goes, interesting things come out. The best is to come.

This week's topic is of paramount important, the only reason why teachers are in classes is to teach. Teaching requires knowing people with whom you are. Teachers know the way they learn and then they provide students with appropriate activities. Everybody feels at ease. The teacher takes into account students' learning styles. Classroom activities should be designed according to students' orientations. Teachers can give the test to students and reveals them its importance.

Thus, students will discover different learning styles. Imagine if a teacher doesn't make much difference between the intrapersonal and the interpersonal learners.

Now we easily undersstand when teachers are asked to vary their activities. Varying with the inetention to meet students' learning styles. It's also good that students know their own learning styles that will help them to find out how they can efficiently learn.
