Ready to write my reflections!

First of all, I have to thank all the participants for their inspiring work! Thank you  I am really learning from all of you. I have to say that it is so beautiful to have this diversity of people in this course… it is not only that you are from different wonderful places but also you have different teaching theories with different styles of thinking and expressing your ideas and thoughts.

As I see, most of the participants have their own blogs! For most of us too it is the first time we experience creating blogs. I share many of your ideas and feelings towards the process of learning. I think that blogs could be an excellent teaching tool; I think that it is fun to have a blog and I think that blogs can enhance students' learning. I like all the blogs including mine. But I have to tell you that I don't like routine and I will add things and change colors in the future.

Well, I am thinking of myself here as a student but I have to tell you that I am concerned about me using a blog as a teacher! Here with Deborah things are going great! Our teacher or I should say facilitator is giving us instructions, guiding us and observing our work. Deborah is providing help in case somebody asks for help or when she notices somebody needs help. Do you agree? But I don't know if this would be the case with my students… I think my students need more scaffolding than what we have… or maybe I am wrong! I don't know. I believe the best way to know the answer is trying things out! But it would be great if some teachers from our course who have already used blogs with their students share their experiences with us! And by sharing I mean telling us the details of how things worked or didn't work at their classes. I think this would be more helpful to me than reading more articles about blogs.

Thanks for reading,
Khuloud.

Hi everybody!

So happy to create this blog for my online course "Webskills". I am looking forward exchanging ideas and learning from my coursemates!

I liked all the quotes the participants of this course shared so far! I want to add more quotes in my blog:

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" Socrates.

"By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates

"If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior" Mahatma Gandhi

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" Mahatma Gandhi

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein


Well, one more thing that I would like to share with you:
"What comes around goes around". I don't know who said this but I believe it is true!

Best,
Khuloud Asad Shbat.
