Search engines and ABCD model of writing objectives
I should say that this week's tasks were quite challenging. There were many things I have done for the first time. I never knew there are so many searching sites and that they are even broken into different categories. I have been using Google all the time and I didn't even know that if I type the information I need to find in a bit different way in the searching bar, I can get completely different results of my search.
Getting to know about the ABCD model of writing objectives was very interesting for me. The model gives us a chance to write objectives more clearly, concentrating more on our students' needs and outcomes we want to achieve. I am sure I will be using it while preparing for the lessons.
It was very exciting to write about the first step of our final project. I was so thrilled when I was writing my first blog last week that the idea of creating my class's blog was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought about the final project. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I tell my students about the task we are going to do. I hope they will be as excited as I am and enjoy creating and particiapting in our class blog.
Looking forward to the beginning of week 3. I am sure it will be as fruitful as this one.
Hi Tania! I couldn't agree more with you! Although I love tecchnology and I use it quite a lot hot only for my personal life but also for my classes, I had no idea about all those search engines! I had almost always relied only on Google, Youtube and Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time using the ABCD style for writing objectives too, and I also found it interesting, concrete, and down-to-earth.
Let's keep on taking advantage of this amazing opportunity we were given!

Hi Tania: yes, there will be many things - mostly new - coming at you during this course. It is great to "scaffold" the final project and get you going on it already in the early part of this class. You are on your way to a great experience.
