Week 9: …learning styles; English teaching Forum; final project…

It is in a way sad to think that we are coming to an end of the program. Though with a lot of other work we took the course there were a lot of elements of uses and interest in it. Everything done was very practical and could be readily applied to our classroom activities.  It is also sad to be away from the discussion group, but I hope we can keep in touch with one another even after the class.
It was good to learn new types of intelligence and learning styles so that we can design our lesson plans to address those new ones as well.
It was good experience taking part in the discussion with the editors of the English teaching Forum. It is always good if we get opportunities like this to benefit from the experience and knowledge of professionals and scholars outside our class as well.
When we thought about the project, though it seemed very heavy work at the beginning, it was interesting learning how to do it and practically doing it step by step. I am really happy with the final outcome.
Something that I was waiting for a long time was the evaluation of the course, to commend it and recommend it to anybody that is into teaching of any kind. It was great course and I feel that some knowledge, training and experience that I would have acquired in six months, I acquired in   almost two months. That is the
beauty of it.

    I also feel sad that the course is coming to an end. I also agree with you that the discussion on learning styles and technology was very interesting and useful.
    The idea of keeping in touch with each other after the end of the course is an excellent idea. I totally support this idea. We should start thinking about how we can do this. Let's discuss this on the social thread next week.

    Interesting post again. Have a great time.
