Week 4
Hi everyone.
Since I take this course,
I have difficulties using new technology. I have troubles almost every week. In
this week, when I tried
to add my lesson plan document in the Wiki, I accidentally moved
Yousself’s document into my file. I tried to move it to the original place. However,
I could not find the way to move it back. I was so afraid to make another
mistake. So I decided to make a new file which is titled “Lesson Plan Youssef” and
put his document into that file. That was the best solution I could think of at
that time. I am so sorry Youssef.
When you try to use technology into the classroom, problems just happen so suddenly. For example, computers and software do not work. Have you ever experience that? I have experienced many times. Thus I think it is important that we prepare technology alternative plans.
I enjoyed reading the description of
issues in the project task #3. It is interesting to learn how other teachers
analyze the problems. It is helpful task for me. I now clearly see the problems
of my class. I am so excited to learn how other teachers try to solve problems
by using new technology.

Hi Megumi,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you did well and Donna wil try to solve the problem. Hope everything is ok for now. This is a clear situation when technology just makes the things worse. Still, you learn so much from it.
As for the lesson plans and problems resolving, I also read most of them, and only then I started to have a more or less clear idea what I was supposed to do.
It seems that very often the problems are the same in many parts of the world, so it was curious to know what other people do when they encounter them.
Wish you a nice day!

Hello Megumi,
ReplyDeleteI have the also made some mistakes at the beginning of the course but with the first wiki -map- and I have asked Donna for help. I though I was the only one. As you can see we are all in the same way and we have a nice teacher who guides us and helps us overcome the obstacles.
Problems with technology in the classroom are part of the lesson. We have to bear in mind that technology may not work as we wish. Sometimes the software or the hardware do not work properly and the lesson is not the one we planned. I always think about this possibility and I also think about students waiting for me to do something -they have classes with or without technology.
Thanks for sharing your problems.
Have a nice week!
