Week 10 Is it the saddest end or the greatest start?

Hello, my dear Everyone!

 It is a very sad week, isn't it? We should say "Good bye!" to everything which became very close for us for these 10 weeks. We never saw each other but we are like one big family and sometimes I saw that somebody of us has the same thoughts when we discussed our topics or some themes:)

As for me I liked EVERYTHING in the Course! I have so much information and new knowledge! I'll try to change my teaching practice and to demonstrate my collegues all interesting and useful sides of using Interactive Tools at the lessons to increase pupils' interest to the learning! As for my pupils I'm sure they all liked using my website for discovering aims. I understood my pipils coldn' find anything which is useful for them. It is very hard for them to sort the use from the disutility - they are confused! But with the help of using such great interactive tools like Teacher's Websites, Padlet or Interactive PPT children get the great chance to see the wide learning world and its infinity!!!

From the other hand it is the wonderful week of our "NEW" teaching practice!

My dear instructor, Donna and my best course mates, I want to thank you for the best learning experience which I've had together with you!!!

Week 9 Sadness and Joy at the same time!!!

Hello, Everyone!

This week I'm sad a little bit - our Course is almost to the end:(

But at the same time I'm very happy -  as a teacher thanks to this Course I have so much ideas and useful thoughts about my teaching practice!!!

I'm sure everybody of my course mates has such different feelings, too. I'd like to ask them about it if we could be at one big round friendly tea - table!!! The most wonderful idea - to end our Course together drinking tea and have a very interesting discussion about our impressions about the Course! I'm sure their answers about it will be very interesting and maybe even a little funny!!! 

The best dream, isn't it?

Week 8 a teacher, a student and a judge!!! So different roles, so difficult choice!!!

Hello, everyone! 

This week everybody of us had different roles: we are pupils of this course, we are teachers - it is our profession and we were judges of the report projects of our course mates!

As for me it was the most difficult to be a judge because this is a very serious and responsible work to help a course colleague to look at his or her work from the other side. 

At the same time my work was judged, too. Now I understand the great necessity of my partner's remarks for improving my project report. Now I can say that mutual checking helps to see all weak points and to make the work better.

I'd like to use this kind of checking in my teaching practice with my pupils. I'm sure it will give them chance to be more serious, thoughtful and attentive.

Week 7 Padlet? Padlet! WOW! PADLET!!!

Every my course week I become happier because I see the results of my learning in my pupils. 

When I read about Padlet the first time it was just a task for me which should be done but when I used it I was happy like a baby who got a new toy. Now I'm sure that all tools should be considered like toys but USEFUL TOYS which bring new knowledge. In this case I see the biggest profit of using Padlet in my teaching practice. I'm sure this tool will give a great chance to develop my pupils' creativity and their wish to find and learn more and more! Now I understand the meaning of the words "Learner Autonomy". It is like free swimming but with great pleasure and the biggest profit!

Week 6 Mixed thoughts!

So, our sixth week is to the end and just now I really understand the importance of my work for me but at first for my pupils! I watch them every lesson and see the great changes. They want to know more and more. Sometimes we don't listen to the break bell. They ask me, "Oksana Valeryevna, what are we going to do the next lesson?" I make my face very serious and mysterious..... and keep silence because I don't know what will our next lesson look like? 

Every day I go home and begin to work. I really like all things which happen in this course. It looks like a fairy tale where I and my pupils get in every time. Let's this fairy tale won't finish very long.....

All my thoughts now are about the Final Project where I want to describe all my pupils' changes and of course, mine ones, too! I think that everything which has connection with computers and Internet is very popular between pupils. It gives them a chance to be more active and involved. It is the best idea to use Interactive tools for increase pupils' learning motivation at the lessons! And if I want to have the high motivated students I should use all modern tools at my lessons!

Week5 Interesting - more interesting - the most interesting!!!

Ahhh! This is exactly the word that passes all my emotions for this week! So much wonderful and sometimes I'm afraid to loose something. That is why I make notes and put + if I did it.
The most interesting work for me is creating a rubric!  I'm very proud to be the first in my school who can create it! It gives me so many possibilities to use rubrics at every lesson and for any activities! I want to learn more and more!!! 

Week 4: WOW!!! So much ...!!!

So, the fourth week comes to the end! So many interesting things which I've known and so much I want to share with my group mates! 

This is the link how to create "DojoClass" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65kj7ilLfhs

For me it is a very interesting way how to make my lessons more interesting and involve into the learning process not only my pupils but even their parents who will be interested in their children's progress so much because they'll have a great chance to watch it and help their children if they'll need.
