Week-7 Reflections…!!!

Greetings..!!!

The week-7 also has been quite insightful and enriching due to the tasks and the readings.

1. The very first task was on readings on Learner Autonomy and how to promote it. This has been informative and insightful as the articles have been very useful in understanding and clarifying the various aspects of promoting learner autonomy among the students. The discussion could help me take a pause and ponder over the issues discussed on Learner Autonomy. I could analyze my teaching from various angles and reading others’ ideas have been quite insightful and enriching.

2. The second task was on sharing One-computer Lesson plan. This was also interesting to think and share the plan. This has been the case with me most of the time that one computer is available for me in the class. So, through this I could see the possibility of incorporating the optimum use of it. Reading the shared plans by others was quite enriching. I realized that this is the case with many of my other friends as well. It was amazing to see the pool of ideas that have been shared by other friends.

3. The third task was on describing the implementation of our project. This week, the students searched for the stories related to the theme of the story discussed and made a powerpoint presentation on it in groups. They could get the various types of stories and some of them could share it with the class. Now, my students are working on their own to prepare a newsletter in groups on what they have done and they may add some of their stories as well. I could see the level of involvement and excitement on the part of them while preparing the powerpoint presentations. 

4. The fourth task was to get one of our friends as the Peer Reviewer. This was a bit challenging for me as initially I did not find it alright to ask or invite somebody for the same. Then, I posted a request and waited for somebody to reply. Today, to my surprise, I got now two persons who have responded so I think we can work as a group of three, if it is alright with the other two friends. It was a new type of experience for me.

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

Thanks.
