Week 2 Web Searching


Week 2 Web Searching

He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who doesn't ask a question  remains a fool forever.
( Chinese proverb)

Two weeks  week  Passed. Or say One was an  Ice breaker week and the other had wonderful and interesting tasks. Thanks to our instructor, now I am highly satisfied with the skills I have acquired from that course  up till now. Do you believe that I have created my own class on Nicenet  web site? Not only that  but I My performance has shown that I have developed my ELT knowledge, skills and attitudes. The most  important thing I have learnt is how to write teaching objectives using ABCD method.  I've updated my old method in writing objectives.  I think This course is an eye-opening experience for me. I have benefited from every thing that was practiced.

We have shared a good number of new resources and tools. How great it has been to be familiar with Nicenet , wikis , blogs . I am really fascinated by the new tools I use now to communicate with each other  It took me two nights to be able to evaluate a few of search engines listed in Noodle tools. There are a huge amount of web sites dedicated to searching such as Google ,INFOMINE, Yahoo, etc. Google and Yahoo  are probably the most well known search engines. When they launched they were considered the most relevant. search engine results are also updated as frequently as Google. At least from the sites I have seen listed in Noodletools, iseek Education is considered a treasure for me as a teacher. I should advise  my colleagues to try iseek  Education. I myself tried it  exploring  some sites that contain information concerning efl and through it I could d find a huge amount of sites related to teaching English.  They have variety of teaching  materials and resources.
