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.
