Hello everyone,

I started Week 4 earlier than last week and enjoyed reading many good resources and surfing useful websites. This is exactly learning by doing and it will be the life long memory. These articles  gave me many ideas to enhance technology in my teaching.

Reading, writing and Vocabulary discussion task introduced me many good websites such as manythings.com and breakingnewsenglish.com which provide  printable handouts and worksheet. I will inform my students to use these useful websites and also enhance  them to my lesson plan.


 I hope that my ABCD objectives would be alright.

Technology -enhanced lesson plan took me the longest time of all this week tasks. I spent many hours to make decision what to teach, and  then made up my mind to choose the reading story from www.breakingnewsenglish.com as I posted on disscussion. I will try out this lesson plan with my students when the school open next week.

I took not long time to discuss on problem or issue as we just mentioned the problems, not the solution. Anyway, I will think about the solution and use it in my project work later.

Can't wait to read all of your blogs.

Best wishes,

The Adventure of Week 3

Hello Donna and all my colleagues,

How are you doing? I hope you all are doing well. What about me? Oh, this week was like my adventure. It took me almost the last minute to finish all assignments as I had to travel to join exchange students orientation preparation camp in another province for 4 days in this week which means I had much obstacle to do my homework. I had to do some works on my mobile phone and the rest on Sunday night at home after I came back from the camp.

Reading Aural/Oral skill articles was interesting but I tried hard to finish it as I had to read from my phone to finish the first discussion on time.

All the sample projects are interesting but  I already begin to worry about what to do in my project. However, the project I chose to read gave me many ideas. I wish I could do it well like the sample projects.

I love delicious.com. It is a very smart application to gather our favorite websites but I had problem with dragging + Add to delicious to my tool bars,after trying to drag it many times I am still not successful. I have to find someone to help me later.

Fortunately, I could create my own Delicious page and successfully linked it on our wiki, I was so happy to see my delicious page including  in the rows.

Best regards,

My Week 2 Blog

Dear Donna and all my classmates,

I'm very happy that I have done all my first week assignments, even if some works are not very satisfied.

I've found week 2 works are not very tough and I started with reading tasks. I think writing learning behavioral objectives is like  bitter medicines for many teachers. I have learned a lot about it but still find it's difficult to write good ones. Studying from Week 2 reading with many beneficial links is really helpful and I hope that I have done a good job with my ABCD Behavioral Learning Objectives.

To describe about my class is fine for me. But I am a  bit worried about creating a project. Anyways, to learn steps by steps can help me a lot. 

I confused at first  how to post my week 2 in a blog, after searching for a while I know that I have to get back to www.blogger.com not in a view of our Yellow Group wiki. Then I've found where to write it down.

Best wishes,

Jirawan

Week 1: My first blog

Hi everyone,

It took me for a while to create this first blog of my life, fortunately, my cousin helped me to do it.

I started my first week quite late as I went away for a week before the course started and didn't have the chance to access internet. Now it's Sunday and this is my last assignment I have to finish it today. It's not easy for me because today in Thailand is Songkran's Day, that means Thailand's New Year which we celebrate it as a family day, but I have to skip from everyone to work with this blog. Anyway, I'm very happy to take this course and share ideas with great teachers from all over the world.

I have learned a lot since the first week, and I hope that I won't get in troubles with the upcoming assignments.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys, my classmates and a helpful adviser,Donna.

Best regards,
Jirawan
