Aahhh..I talked about missing this class last week. Now.. I am in the final week of the course. What do I feel? I am not sure how I can describe it..I have mixed feeling I think. I felt about it 2 weeks ago and I never thought that being in the final week would be this hard. Especially reading my lovely classmates' posts on their blogs.. even the titles make me sad.. the entries seem to be the farewell words..May be they are..I hate this feeling..it brings me to the graduation moment but I think we are all in the graduation ceremony after 10 weeks sitting together in the class.I can't describe one by one about what I have had during the course..Webquest,Blog,Delicious,ANVILL,interactive PPT, PBL,ABCD objectives and many more.. Shahnoza made a wonderful list about what we have learned so far. For me.. I think Webquest, PBL, interactive PPT and online tools are some of the knowledge that I will use in my Speaking class. How lucky I am to have so many sources that can be used in the future.. I am so grateful that I am part of this wonderful course..it's truly an inspiring journey..
I want to thank all my dear classmates..I have many talented and wonderful friends here..Though we live in different part of the world but it seems that we truly "sit" in the same room! Share ideas, opinions knowledge and help each other are the activities that I will miss alot and also the blogs and the discussion board.
For the next participants in this course, my suggestions are
- Devoting the time (It will hard at the beginning and you will feel hectic but after you can manage the time..everything will be fine)
- Follow all the instructions.
- Put the technology first in all aspects that you will learn in this course
- Don't hesitate to ask..either on the board or sending an email to Robert even if you think it's only a small matter.
- Complete the tasks on time and focus about the final project since the Week 2. Robert will give you the tasks and use them as your steps in doing the final project. You will see that they will be useful when you meet the deadline.
- Be active in Discussion board and the blogs..you will find many great ideas and experiences from your classmates..
- Don't give up even if you feel that it's so hard to do all the tasks in your real life and the course. You will get through it.
I want to say thank you so much to our dearest,Robert, for all his guidance during the course. To all my classmates.. I am already missing you all...I hope we can still keep in touch...whether by the blogs or other tools such as social networking..It will be great to "meet" you after the course..
Dinner everyone??
Hello Dhika,
ReplyDeleteI agree to the dinner, yes...
As you have just said, it's too hard to say farewell after all these collaborative and interactive weeks of working together. I hope, in as much as you also hope, to have a chance and continue discussing things together, to share our teaching problems and solutions, and to swap innovative ideas like the very ones related to technology employment in teaching.
Thank you, Dhika, and the others really for everything.
Best of Regards,
Hassan
Hi Dhika,
ReplyDeleteIt is a bittersweet week. With all the material that we have now, I think it is time to explore and start planning for more changes.

ReplyDeleteDear Dhika,
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to read your blog and see the pictures!
I agree with you that graduation is the event which is pleasant and sad at the same time.
But if we wish to bring up autonomous learners we should be autonomous ourselves.
So it's quite time to start our own voiage in the ocean of sites, articles, tools by means of technology.
Good luck to you!
Irina
Dear Dhika,
ReplyDeleteYou have given a good number of useful suggestions for the newcomers!
In a way we will all miss the routine , collaboration and sharing we have had in these past weeks. But what would remain is this sweet sense . We learnt a lot and now it's our challenge to put them into action to better language learning in our classrooms.
Wish you all the best !
Cecilia
Dear Dhika,
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you that this week is bitter sweet. They are simple words but cover our feeling towards this course. Your last suggest to new comers should be emphasized because I could pass that difficult time. I also do agree with Irina and Cecilia that from now on we have to start our voyage for better language learning in our classroom.
All of my best to you all,
Moo
