My Reflection: Week - 2

Now our course is at the end of third weeks. By now I have learned that "Blog" can be a very effective tool for (language) learning. It can be created at "blogger.com", too. We can make it more attractive going into the setting, we just need some time for it. The teacher can give tasks to the students there and the students can submit their assignment there.

From the first week discussion thread we collected the address of so useful search engines, links, and websites. ABCD model objectives is really new thing for me, I want to use this in my plan. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is a mandatory thing for the teachers of 21^st century, so let's try it in our real classroom, too. The sites I got from classmates in this discussion thread are really precious for my teaching, thanks a lot my classmates for the contribution. "Delicious.com" is really an unforgettable flavor; it can be used to bookmark the important favorites at a single page online.

I hope we will certainly get some more valuable thing in next week.

Week 2 Web Search2 (List of links recommended by classmates)

From the beginning day of this discussion thread, I was reading thoroughly all classmates' posts and by now what I expected really came near about truth. I was expecting some useful links for me and my students to learn English language and get some other information. I believe now I have got some genuine and valuable websites and links that will support my purpose. Here's the list of the links the classmates and our respected course tutor have provided in this thread for each other's kind information. I visited some of the links, but couldn't visit all, so I think the collection of the links will certainly help us in our further study. I would like to thank all for the valuable contribution.
