Week 1: My first blog

Welcome to my space everyone. This is the first time I try to createl a blog. It's a new learning experience for me. Therefore, through this space, I hope we'll be able to communicate our thoughts and ideas, and share our knowledge.

I have to admit, when it comes to technology, I'm really behind, but I'm eager to learn. I was thrilled when I first got accepted in this course. It's a great chance to develop myself and enhance my teaching methods.

Before creating this blog I did a lot of reading on blogs and learned how can blogs be an effective learning tool. I'm going to try this with my students. I tried wikis in the past, but I think this might be different, more appealing, more creative, and I can have control over posts. I know that students log into websites where they post and share comments, opinions, interests, etc. so why not having a private class corner where students can communicate with their teacher, peers and reflect on what goes on in the classroom.

That's all for now

Yours,

Maha

  1. Salam Maha,
    Congrat's on your baby blog. It's never too late to learn, isn't it? Teachers are life-long learners, as they say.It's good to try wikis and blogs together and try to comapre later to decide to use which "for which".
    Good luck,
    Hala
