Hello everybody,

I am sure that you are familiar with Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab . It is one of my favourite sites which I use a lot. It is full of valuable teaching/learning resources. I posted a comment and got a response.

 I am so happy, Randall answered my question. That is unbelievable. I would like to thank  you, Sheri,   for making me stretch my limits. I am a shy person and would never imagine leaving a comment. 

PowerPoint Presentation

Hurray! I created my first PowerPoint presentation and I am proud of myself.  It wasn’t that difficult; I just followed the tutorial. What threw me off was the fact that I didn’t know how to start it. I didn’t know that I have to press the ‘slide show’ button.

Language Learning

 Why most people fail and how you can succeed

This is a wonderful link with a professionally done PowerPoint presentation. It discusses the problems that most ESL students face, the traps that they fall into, and the strategies that lead to greater learning results and satisfaction. All the ESL learners and tutors will benefit from reading it.

iGoogle

Wow! That’s amazing To have all the information you need on one screen.

Top daily news, weather and Google reader– to stay informed,

To-do list - to remind me of my daily tasks, and

My g-mail -to stay in touch with my friends.

That’s great time saver!

I wasn’t aware that such a program is available to use. I was fascinated and couldn’t’ go to bed until 2:00am.

Use of technology in the classroom

How do I feel? - very tired. Not having enough time (I have to finish the course by February 15) pushes me to my limits and doesn't allow me to enjoy the learning process to the fullest. I just submitted my first 3 assignments.

What did I learn?- First, the course teaches me new life and learning skills- to stay focused, to work within a time frame, to set realistic goals and to stick to them.

The content of the covered material makes me reflect on the role of technology in the classroom, and the teacher’s need of on-going training. I realized that after overcoming the initial frustration, I actually enjoy doing research. I conducted a small survey in my class and found out the same tendencies – the young and educated students welcome CALL, however, the ones without formal schooling get headaches and refuse to use computers.

This course is helping me create a stronger bond with my students, as I am trying to involve them as much as possible in my studies.

My first class

Hi,
My name is Neli.
I just signed up for the Language Teaching and Technology course and I am really enjoying it.
This is my first blog, and I am very excited about this course and my first blog.

I am looking forward to learning new things.
