I have always preferred buying the newspapers rather than reading them on-line. It is all about touching it and feeling it real. Nevertheless, the world is growing and developing around me and I need to cope with it.
I have some friends addicted to blogging and when I see how useful it is, I become motivated to create my own blog. However, I have never done it.
Now that this first step is done, I need to explore it and make it ready for people to read and comment on it.
I believe that not exploring what Internet has to offer is an illiteracy. For a teacher, it represents a wide range of teaching material and innovation source. Thus, I really hope to get used to all this, in order to start using it effectively and creatively.

Hello Ghada,
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks great, and congratulations on creating it. You're right--you are now a blogger! I hope you enjoy posting your weekly reflections on what you've learned and done during this course on your blog.

Hi Ghada,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you've created a nice blog and it's good to read your post. I agree that internet is like a sea for a teacher. It is full of resources which could be used for one' own professional development and for class. Hope that you would share some more reflections of yours.

Hello Ghada,
ReplyDeleteI feel really identified with you.I had created a blog with a group of teachers before,because we felt it was going to be very interesting ,but then we did not have time to reflect or comment,the blog started fading.
I agree with you that the web is full of resources that we don´t use in class,probably and almost surely because we do not feel safe being illiterate as you say in front of our students.
I believe we have the chance with this course to remediate this lack and start using the web in our classrooms,not only to prepare them.
