Week 7

Reflection :
I feel a bit desperate and worried about my final project . The teachers here , in Algeria , have been on strike for about a week and there is no hope that the situation will improve . I can’t go through my project with my classes . The headmistress refuses to organize the trip To Megres Mountain because of the strike . I met her this afternoon and she promised to find an agreement with the educational department . Anyway , I hope things will be alright soon .
I’m happy Alayda accepted to be my partner . I’m sure we will collaborate together ad share ideas for the elaboration of our respective projects . There is no doubt that her great experience , her commitment and her great sense of analysis and critics will help me go further . I promise to do my best supporting her .

The 7th week is over and I believe it has been very challenging making us creating our Powerpoint presentations and sharing them . I agree with the participants about the tremendous possibilities Powerpoint can offer in terms of a useful teaching aid that can be used to activate schema , to improve students learning strategies and to assess their projects . Our classes are large with different leaning styles . The coming weeks are likely to provide us with other hints to help us involve more students into our class activities and to arm our students with the technology to support their leaning and make them independent , self-reliant and responsible for their leaning ! May Zlatka’s red-and-white tokens – the wonderful Martenisas bring us good luck !
