A heap of Greetings from Luxor



Week 1,  A good start

I think this course will be fruitful and useful for us. It will provide us with a lot of  practical information technology skills. Frankly ICA is something new for me and I'm proud that I am the first one ( pioneer)  to use it  as an exciting and Wonderful tool in my education. Regarding to blogs, I  used to create  my own blogs and I had  one on Geocities. But this time I feel that it is something different as I am going to use it actively in my next training courses instead of(old fashioned tool) reflective Journals. I think it is a very useful tool for creating a learning environment for learners. Really I am so happy to use and share such an innovative tool  with my colleagues and my students. My own personal hope for the future  is to support using blogs in our language courses. How exciting to share and exchange  experience with participants from so different countries as well as different cultures...!
I can't forget to thank our instructors who are very friendly and supportive.

  1. Hi Nagei,

    The best thing about this course is that, the world has come so close....we are able to communicate with each other across the globe. I don't have your experience of using another blog spot, however, I've used 'Mind Maps'/'Concept Mapping' and 'RAFT Assignments' from the web. These are great teaching tools and I've received very positive feed back from my students. If you are interested, please do try. I've shared the link with Batuk sir.

    Egypt is my dream country, and I'm excited to make a friend from there.

  2. A big hi to Paramita and Nagei,
    guys, I really can't express how much fun I have when reading your blogs, and learn about others' experience. What is more intersting and practical is sharing new means of teaching like mind maps. I also use journals in my classes but not anymore. From now on, I am going to tend to teaching with blogs rather than writing essays or journals on papers. It is time we changed.
