Collecting authentic information for evidences was the foremost challenges posed by my study. At the same time, I had to face other challenges such as inadequate references, location of school away from the centre, lack of consultancy, limited time and burden of heavy work load having to teach as well as look after the school administration. In the beginning, I was a bit worried on how would I be able to complete this course, but moral support and encouragement of my colleague gave me added strength to marshal the task that I undertook. The starting was smooth but the course of continuation became harder and harder.
Nevertheless, I was determined to carry out this Herculean task and learn appropriate strategies for teaching our today’s youth. I guess this online course would be able to remove some of the confusion of the ways of our today’s teaching and learning.
Along with course of my online class, every single topic was discussed with my colleagues here, their suggestion were crucial for my study because we are the one who have first hand practical experiences and about using technology in teaching and learning purposes, integrating technology in fact I believe that we the workers in the field know better than anyone else. From the analysis of the teacher’s suggestion I found all most all the discussion I carried during online class are essential and applicable provided we are equipped with sufficient basic equipment.
I have gained a good amount of knowledge and skills by participating in this online class. The thing that I have learnt throughout the process will create a lasting effect in my life because it is invaluable. I performed this study with full dedication, for a good cause and not just for certificate form aboard.
Unquestioningly, this online class helped me broaden my knowledge and change my perspectives of today’s teaching. I believe the teaching skills I conquered during this course, (although late but still gaining momentum in our country) would be meaningful to others. For the reasons, I think this course regarding BUILDING TEACHING SKILLS THROUGH INTERACTIVE WEB hopes to act as an eye-opener generating rewarding discussion among my small school teacher, making maximum utilization of little resource we have and hope to influence other nearby teachers. Finally, in a nutshell, Building Teaching Skills Through Interactive Web will never be a failure but a stepping stone to success.
I would also like to entire participants for providing timely and unfailing support and assistance through the course of discussion and task. I would like to thank my project partner Miss. Nesrine Ourari, Tunisia for going through my draft project report and giving very valuable suggestions and direction. I would like thank her for being my guiding spirit.
Last but not the least; I would like to thank the system of University of Oregon USA for offering their services and experiences of many years. My deep gratitude goes to Professor Robert Elliot for being with us the entire course of time, working with us in odd hours and making the class live, for the many insightful discussion we had. It has been a personal education working and travelling with Mr. Robert.
Thanks

Hi Jigme!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great pleasure to read all of your posts and comment upon them, faithful I kept myself reading on and on all of your posts because simply I do admit that I do share many details with you specially when I started integrating computer in my lessons since long years now.

Hello Jigme.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you amaze us with the depth of your thought and reflection. I will quote Khaled that it was a real pleasure reading your posts and I wish you all the best in your future professional and private life.

Dear Jigme.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always great to read.
I know it is unbelievable that we are finishing this course. We all have learned so much in such a short time. I think that just like you, many of us also had to face some challenges but at the same time they helped to learn and accomplish the goals, and that feels great. And, of course all of our class mates’ valuable comments helped to understand things better. I learned a lot from every single one of you.. And their supportive and encouraging words that everyone had in the right moment made things much easier to do.
In general, I think all of us are very happy with this incredible learning experience that has made us become better teachers and better human beings. And, as you I think we all are very thankful.
Keep on doing your great job and keep in touch.
Best wishes

Nice words Jigme,
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I think we all have learned a lot. Even though most of us have plenty of personal things to do and work responsibilities to comply with, the course has had us focussed on the tasks day after day.
As I stated on the Nicenet thread, we have learned a lot from our dear tutor Robert, from the web resources and readings, and from our knowledgable colleagues. It has certainly been hard work but lots of satisfaction.
Warm regards,
Dolores
Hi Jigme
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your "moment of truth". Your reflection was really thoughtful and what I liked about it, is that I felt it is really honest. I really liked when you mentioned that you were sharing your knowledge with your colleagues and discussed all topics. I think the aim of this online class is not only getting a degree abroad and gain more experience but it is also sharing with students and colleagues for the benefit of all to enhance teaching and learning in your own school and country.
