Week-4_Reflections

Greetings..!!!

The week-4 also has been quite insightful and enriching due to the tasks and the readings.

1. The very first task was on reading various articles on Reading/Writing/Vocabulary Skills and be familiar with the technology-enhanced lesson plans. I think reading these articles has been an insightful experience. Moreover, the suggested links that were given are just wonderful. Some of them I came to know for the first time like - http://fog.ccsf.edu/~lfried/  . I am sure that I can adapt certain activities for my classes and, in fact, ask my students to visit these and solve the exercises, quizzes and puzzles.  

2. Another task was on Designing a technology-enhanced lesson plan. This has been also interesting but a bit challenging. We were asked to plan based on the template given and share our views on how we will integrate technology into our teaching. Sharing from each other has been quite useful to all of us.

This task made me think what I can do for my class and I could also understand what others plan to do for their classes. Sometimes, the teaching contexts are similar or quite different, so the discussion provides a wide spectrum of ideas to be considered.

3. The third task was of sharing the Class Issue as part of the project task. While thinking on these lines, it was challenging for me to prioritize the issue and to express the most related issue. Because, when generally, we are asked about the issues, we have a long list to share. But, here it was only one and that too such issue which can be taken up as a project. But, after a while, I could write one of my major challenges of managing the heterogeneous class.

Overall, this week has given us a mental exercise. So, I think that would help us for the weeks to come.

The interaction with the friends has, indeed, been quite enriching and useful. Hope the same for all.

Thanks.
