Week 9


Hi everyone.

Thanks for Begona’s checklist, I was able to revise my final plan report. It looks much better than before. I am glad that I experienced the effectiveness of using checklists. Therefore, I added the checklist for my final plan report. I think using checklists is a good way to develop learners’ autonomy. I will surely use checklists in my future classes.

I enjoyed this week’s Nicenet discussion. To be aware of students’ intelligence is essential. I always tried hard to make my class communicative. However, social discourse cannot be seen often. I realized that many students have low level of functioning in interpersonal intelligence. To develop interpersonal intelligence, I should know what technology tools are useful and choose the suitable activities for my classes. By taking this course, now I know how to make Nicenet classes and Padlet walls. I think those tools are very useful for my classes. By using those tools, my students can share feedback and discussions. Moreover, those tools can be a help to do peer-tutoring. Thanks for this course, I am sure that I can make my teaching practice better using Nicent and Padlet.

  1. Hi Megumi,

    I hope you had great time making up your final work, though it could take time and extra effort. I agree with you that checklist of the partner helped so much in evaluating one's own work, and my partner, Ernesto did a great job for making my plan better.
    Learning styles and multiple intelligences are indispensable in teaching process and also enjoyable ones.

  3. Hi Megumi,
    I also appreciate your comments about my report. They have been of great help to finish with it. I had never used peer assessment in my lessons, and I will use it from now on. The course has been interesting and fruitful.
    All my best,
