Dlicious is really delicous

Some months ago I felt upset because I couldn't access the educational links my colleagues in The Morccan Association for Theachers of English (MATE) kept sending on my facebook. At first I didn't have time to check all the sites. I said well let's do it later. But after a while I couldn't. I wondered if it was possible for me to find it again. However, the search, with time limitation was a headache.fortunately, I don't think I am going to experience this feeling of disappointment for loosing my online resources with my Delicious page.

I still have a slight problem. I can not put the bookmarklet  on my PC even if I tried to drag it to my tool bar many times. It didn't work.

Still Learning about blogs

Yesterday I learnt a new thing about my blog.Priviously I tried to go over my colleagues blogs by clicking their names on the class wiiki. I got tired of opening too many windows to start working.Luckily, I noticed the "add blog" I thought it could be of great help to all the blogs on my reading list.So I started adding all your blogs. It took me sometime but I am glad I have done it.

Second week: More to learn about the web

Firstly, when I joined the class I was thinking of its outcome. That is what I will acquire, teaching habits I will develop, and how well I proceed with my work in the course. I thought all this is going to be shown at the end of the course. I was astonished to receive an e-mail from Janine asking to check my grades. I knew I didn’t hand in some tasks on time for some technical reasons. To my surprise I happened to do all the tasks. I was pleased to know  I am on the right truck, which I hope to keep to. I didn’t have enough time to fully explore the site but I believe it just the right tool to be used to evaluate my students performance. This is the second lesson I learnt.

Secondly, I read the word search engines in the task. I felt a bit scared. I know that there are multitudes of them. The most used one is google of course. However I am asked not to use it. I seemed to me that the task is challenging , bearing in mind the limited time I have to do it. I did a search about search engines and was overwhelmed by the number I had to check before I can try one. Fortunately, Janine gave me a good help when she provided a whole list of specialized search engines from which we are to choose. Here I found it easy to check the ones of interest to me, focusing on education/teaching. That made my life easier. I guess “noodles” are my target from now on. Surely, there is other  new information I am going to learn throughout this training.  

First Lesson

dear All,
This is the blog I was trying to make look active. It took me quite a long time make to all the steps correctly, maybe because it is the first blog I ever created. Was this task easy for me? surely not. When I read the task at first I thought it a matter of following some piece of cake guidlines on the documents I could read. However it turned out to be harder not because I could not understand the language but because I had to deal with the computer.That is; the absence of the human side in technology hinders our quick fruitful response to any instruction at first. I understood ,as a reasult, that my students may undergo the same kind of confusion as they start their learning via the web which I have to help them through.This was the lesson I learned from trying to creat my on blog.I think there are other lessons to come and I hope learn them all with you.
