Week 6 Reflection :

I can say today that a lot of changes are being implemented i my class . The class has already been divided into small groups of 4 students . We moved to the computer lab last week and each group has created an e-mail account and a blog .Next Tuesday , the class will make a trip to Megres Mountain ( if it doesn’t snow, of course ) . There , they will observe , take photos and videos . They will post their reports and slogans for the protection of the site illustrated with their photos and videos . They are very happy to know that they are doing something different . Their projects in English and I all the other subjects are usually presented In a form of posters or booklets . Knowing that they are going to be outside their class with their teacher of English and then presenting their projects using blogs and then commenting on their each other work , makes them feel very motivated and enthusiastic .

Thanks to the tasks of this week I have learnt how to write an assessment rubric . It took me too much time , not to write it , but to get access to the wiki page and to post it and then had the opportunity to have a look at what my other friends participants did . I’m amazed about how much information and how many ideas this task has generated . This task is an eye opener that helps us to set number of criteria to assess students work , to make them know about the criteria they are going to be assessed on are , and thus path the way towards their involvement into class activity .

The tendency today is how to involve the students into class activities , how to create a learner centered class and how to make the students shift from their passive attitude towards an active behavior , make them , analyze , reflect and take decisions . They belong to different socio- cultural environment with different learning styles . It is our responsibility , our challenge today to find the right activity that can involve them all with all these differences . Our goal is integrating technology in our teaching . The challenge is amazing .Our commitment will certainly help us to go “ higher “ !
Yes we ca !
