I just finished uploading my final report. This was the last assignment of this subject. It was such a great experience for me learning how to incorporate the technology in our teaching process. We have learned a lot during this course and hope that we're going to use all those kind of techniques with our students.
 I wish you good luck in your exams! May you succeed in everything you do!
P.S    Enjoy the summer and take care with these hot days!

Peer reviewing

Hi bloggers! This week I was a little bit confused about the assignment . I didn't understand what to do but, after our teacher explained us in detail, I finally understood it.We have to chose another partner and to review their final draft. My partner in this assignment is Ersida Koçi. I have finished reviewing  her final draft and she has done a good job in my opinion. I want to congratulate and wish her best of luck. I have wrote some suggestions for her report and hope she will take them into consideration. Now, I'm waiting for my report to be reviewed by Ersida.
Have a great weekend!

Step by step....

Hi Friends! Hope that everything is fine. This week we have to add some other details about our presentation.My colleague and I finished with our presentation and we used some activities and exercises related to our topic. We used different photos during the explanation, because it's a good way to attract the pupils attention.We provided them with a video and  we realized some exercises together.I think that these kinds of projects are very useful for us because we can learn a lot from each other and we can share our experiences together.
Have a nice week!

The influence of technology in teaching!

Hi bloggers! Here we are again to share our opinion about this week assignment. Every day we are learning new things about technological tools and the importance of technology in our teaching.Today, more than ever, the role of educational technology in teaching is of great importance because of the use of information and communication technologies. With the help of various applications for distance education, the Internet, teachers, and students themselves, they see the advantage of educational technology.The presence of educational technology is growing in the classroom. The new generation of kids come ready to work with these new technologies, which play an important role in children’s learning and acquiring various cognitive knowledge so that educational technology must be incorporated into future curricula. 

This week we had to define a specific skill related to our topic. I'm going to teach grammar to my final project.My topic will be Countable and Uncountable Nouns. An important skill that I want to relate with my grammar topic is speaking. I think it's very important for students to speak because it provides opportunities to practice the language and all the rules that they have learned in grammar. Im going to use a lot of technogical tools such as ,computer,videos,different pictures and games in internet.I hope we'll have success in our final project.

Working on my final project

Hello friends! Our assignment for this week was to add as more details as we can about our final project. It was very helpful for me because in this way I had the opportunity to organize my ideas about what i'm going to do on my project.The topic that I have chosen for my final presentation is Countable and Uncountable nouns.I and my friend Besjana will try to do our best in this project and also to make it interesting and attractive for the audience.Best of luck everyone!

Webquest

Hi there! This week we had to explore Webquest and to create our personal page in order to use it later for our final project.At the beginning i thought it will be difficult to create it, but it was as simple as you create a new account on a social network.The Internet is bringing learning to more homes.As more students gain access to the Internet, there is growing pressure on teachers to help their students use this valuable resource as an effective study tool.I think that WebQuests are similar to online distance learning in that students can work independently. Students do not require assistance from the school or the teacher while performing a Webquest. Teachers may use Webquests in the classroom as a collaborative activity in which students create a product and as a motivational technique to keep students on task.Hope that it will help us to enhance learning in our classes.

That's all for this week. All the best! :)

Project Based Learning

Hello everyone! Our assignment for this week was Project based learning.After reading some information about it, I find this method very attractive and useful for me as a future teacher. In a project based learning students learn by researching, designing and implementing a project to answer a real world problem, meet a challenge, or serve a community interest. Students are encouraged to find ideas and answers to their questions from multiple sources such as books, the internet, as well as community resources and experts.Teachers work with students to provide instruction and skills needed by students as they complete their project.After finishing the assignment we had to share it on Padlet, which was something new for us this week,but I really liked it because we can use it in our job and it can be very helpful for us to share different information for our students.

ABCD Model and online exercises

This week we learned about ABCD Model of writing objectives and how to use them during our lessons. After finishing my assignments for this week I came to the conclusion that objectives are critical to effective instruction; they help teachers  plan the strategies and activities they will use, including the materials and resources to support learning. It is essential that the objective be clear and describe the intended learning outcome. Objectives can communicate to learners what is expected of them ,but only if they are shared with learners in a way learners can understand.Another thing that we learned this week were online exercises.We can find a lot of exercises for our students in different websites in order to practice the language.

 

Cooperative learning

I watched the videos of Cooperative learning and I liked them very much. I think it is a successful teaching strategy in which small groups, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. The most beautiful thing is that children are happy and is like a game for them ,they are playing with each other  and at the same time they are learning a lot. The teacher is like an observer and organize a lot of activities for them. They can collaborate with each other and share their ideas. It's a good choice for us to learn the new generation . So why not???🙄😊

Hi there!

It's my first time using a blog .It looks cool.I think it will be such a great experience for us learning new things about technology and how to integrate it  with our profession I didn't find it very difficult to create this blog.At the beginning I was a little bit confused but I learned it quickly. I hope that this subject will help us to improve our self on technology and to collaborate with each other.If we work together and share our ideas it will be easy for us to get things done.Our professor explained us everything that we are going to do this semester so we have to work a lot in order to have success in this attractive subject.I want to enjoy it and to learn as much as I can because it will be very useful for me in my future.We're living the time of digital age.
Good luck everyone!
