Hello, Robert and my dear e-classmates
Time flies!
I can clearly remember the moment when I got a welcome e-mail from UO. I
feel as if it had been only yesterday.
1.
What topics were most
successful? Most useful for you?
Let me write three most successful and useful for me.
(1)
Three most successful topic:
The below helped me promote my final project plan.
A.
Week 4 Discussion:
Reading/writing skill-building websites.
B.
Week 6 Task: Interactive Power
Point.
C.
Week 9 Task: Create an online
course site or an exercise to use online or offline.
(2)
Most useful topic:
A.
Week 3: Task: Create a
Delicious page
B.
Week 7: Learner Autonomy
C.
Week 9: Discussion: Learning
styles
Especially, Week 9 Discussion broadened my perspective of students’
learning styles. As I teach at a
Special-Needs School, I have often seen the disabled children who have their
own learning styles. I learned nine categories of learning styles
and started to learn how to plan lessons adjusted to them.
2.
Which tools will you use in
your classes? : The below are four
tools/websites included in my project plan.
Interactive PowerPoint slides (on-line) will be my “must item” for my
teaching.
(1)
Quizlet
(2)
PowerPoint
(3)
Sype
(4)
Google site (wiki)
3.
Which, if any, do you think
were not relevant to what you do or will do?
No, nothing!
4.
What other tools might we have
covered or would you suggest that we could have looked at?
(1)
iPad(2) and its applications
for educational use
Although it is not so prevalent, considering the future of
interactive e-learning, putting some articles or websites to additional reading
might be beneficial.
(2)
Task using “Turdy” or “Audacity”
This might be a good opportunity to have participants more skilled
in making reading or listening lesson plans.
5.
Others
After finishing this course,
first thing I have to do is carrying out my final project plan. Second, I would like to collaborate with
co-workers to change some individual syllabuses with technology. Third, this is not realized right now, but
not in the future, I would like to change a correspondence course high school
in my prefecture because it is now totally paper-based.
I am getting better, and going back to school so soon!
Thank you everybody, everything I have met
and learned in this course.
Good luck!
Toward our bright future!
