Week3

Hi, everybody! I am excited our discussion,our labyrinth of links, our fruitful work! 
I am grateful for the fact that I can learn everything suggested in the course!
The great role of computers for educational purposes we can really realise every day.
Computers with their software,networks are used to assist language learning.
Computer- Assisted Language Learning offers us vast possibilities to provide learning process with the help of computers.
I am quite sure that CALL environment is one of the ideal place of safety for our learners to practice interaction.The envioronment of CALL creates situations for real communication of our learners,strengthen their communication skills. Our learners can listen to natives speakers when they want to listen to them.
But sometimes we can't perfectly listen to a voice because synthesising software might produce a voice with a bad quality that can be difficult for learners to understand.
In spite of this disadvantage I think that the CALL environment  motivates us to use it, to practice it.

Delicious is Delicious!!!!!!!!!! It is easy,comfortable.It is your plan of working. It is your conclusion what you did.I like to use it and do new links.

The exploration of websites is pleasant and useful. Developing listening skills with the authntic material, new perspectives in teaching pronunciation and Pronunciation Training systems for providing learners with private, stress-free practice with individualized feedback on pronunciation impressed a great impresion on me and I will use the websites (Voki too) at my lessons.

Web sites with Lesson planning suggest a great amount of examples how to teach English through the interactive Web with step by step teaching guidelines and printable student worksheets.

I will use many of the suggested webmaterial at my lessons.
And ,of course we know what will be the result of our courses. The projects are very scientific.

week 2
Hello, my teachers and my classmates! I am very glad to be with you again! I would like to say again that I involved in this learning adventure with  great interest!
 During this week I have learned a lot. I have learnt how to use Google maps for classroom projects.
I have learnt the definition of Google Maps. I think that this free service of Google gives me and my students the opportunity to create and edit our own interactive maps of locations that range from local to global ones. We can use different tools such as lines, place-markers and shapes to personalize our maps. We can apply this service when we study the themes about countries, cities and my students can make a simple map of their home towns, describe the places of their traveling. I can use such activities as group work, individual work, an entire classroom project. It is an innovative method of the learning process. I am quite sure that the service will improve my English language teaching classroom practices. As for disadvantages of Google maps I think that disadvantages are not of Google maps but of the fact that I will be one of the first who will begin to introduce it in our school, in our city and in our region.I will be active and energetic in sharing the knowledge about the Interactive Web.

The next I have learnt is the ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives. I have read and learned how to write clear objectives, how to achieve an information technology goal using the ABCD model. I have read the objectives of my classmates.It is an excellent way to practice to do behavioral objectives. 


Thank you , my classmates, my teachers! 
I think the ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives will help me to design my lessons. It easier for my students to comprehend what they do at the lesson, to do the tasks effectively and to evaluate themselves. And as for me it is easier for me to conduct the lesson, to solve objectives of the lesson, to evaluate my students.


 My following task is search engines.
I reviewed and analyzed different search engines Jahoo, ip12. I continue to review and analyze them. I realised that www.noodletooles.com provides innovative progressive software that teaches students. The software that supports us as teachers throughout the entire research process. It is Chicago bibliography composer with fully-integrated note-taking. It records, organizes and synthesizes information using online note cards. 
It includes also Free Software Tools, Teacher Resources. I became a current user of it. And I see that I can submit my scientific projects, my students projects there. So using this search engine I can share my ideas not only in my country but abroad. 
I used Surf Wax, Look Ahead, practical tools for dynamic search.
In conclusion I would like to say that these search engines promote critical thinking and creativity of my students. It can help to automate the learning process. They can guide my learners through difficult decisions about the source material. They promote ethical research. They will help me to develop communicative competence of my students.
Thank you for your attention!

Hi! I am happy to inform you that I created my blog. I learned a lot.at first I read what a web blog is. I got to know that weblog is a journal with a lot of functions to do. At the beginning of my practice I could't navigate www.blogger.com. I followed your advice, Joddi, and changed the language of my operation system. I learned how to create a blog. I was involved in it. At first I created a Google account, and then my blog. I followed the steps how to create a blog. I learned about the types of blogs, about their usage for my work, for class. If you have your webblog you can solve a lot of personal, educational, commercial tasks, objectives you have. Tutor blog help students to learn with more motivation. Students can be motivated to read every day. It helps the teacher to plan his work taking into consideration learner's learning differences. Students practice their computer skills, and begin to love exploring english sites. It is a comfortable learning because pupils can learn perfectly at every step using comment buttons. It provides class. Learning process is clear and it is presented in details.  It is an execellent self-study of pupils. As for learning blogs they "encourage the use of search engines and net surfing in English to find the appropriate sites to which links can be made". It involves our learners to read more and to have choice what to read. Students have individual writing practice, personal expression with free-form templates. They develop a sense of ownership, and get experience with the practical, legal, and ethical issues of creating a Internet document. Besides our learners exchange, share their ideas. The spreading issues are focused on a single website.
The class blog help the teacher to use different activities with pupils. It is not boring for everybody.
"Class blog is a free-form bulletin board, a space for learners to post everything. 
This form facilitates project-based language learning, where learners can develop research and writing skills, create an online resource for others.
It is a way to learn virtually. It is a way to be evaluated by other learners, tutors, parents and friends.
For reading and writing classes, students are involved to know management software, like Userland's Manila. Our learners can be evaluated by classmates, parents, teachers and other people of the world. The usage of a blog for class is great. It is modern, creative, innovative way in our learning process. And may be we will have one international, world learning process in future.
