Hi Everyone,

Welcome to this class and I really wish that you are going to enjoy it. 

For this week and the days to come I would like that you watch this video on YouTube about 10 reasons why we should integrate technology in the classroom and I would like that in your posts you add some more benefits that you can think of or any disadvantages.

You also have two more readings about the use of technology and the latest findings about them, which will be integrated in your post.

Recent Developments in Technology and Language learning

Remember that you have to post every week and comment on each other's Blog posts. Below you will also find a link about a Blog Tutorial as well as the link for the Blog roll (group A) and Blog Roll_Group B where you will find the address of my blog and that of the other students. 

Remember to check the Blog assessment rubric and make sure that your comments are not only: I agree and it is nice and it is good. If you agree or disagree, or if you like or dislike the post of your friend, you will have to provide reasons and arguments for that opinion. 

If you have any questions, please comment on my post.

I really hope that you will enjoy this experience. 

Take care

T!

Final step

 Dear all,  I wish that everything is going well. We have reached the end of our class and this is the very last week of a very long and challenging academic year. I was pleased to teach the same course but with different students and personalities and it gives so much joy and motivates me to further my work.  This is not the last post but it is the last time that I give instructions for your assignments. You finished last week with your peer review task and you have now your report to refine and finish. You are supposed to upload them in the Dropbox by the end of the week. The deadline for this will be Sunday midnight.  Then it is my turn to read them all along with the other assignments and everything that you have done during this course.  I would like to wish you the best of success with your exams. Best,  T :)

The rest of the assignments

 Hello again,  Congratulations to all the groups that have finished with the their mock teaching sessions. You have all displayed your abilities as future teachers and you have done that quite skilfully. What I would really like from you at this point is to become more independent students and not to expect everything from the teachers. With regard to the assignments that are left for the rest of the term, please refer again to the list of assignments and the class calendar, especially for the deadlines. Let me repeat again that all the assignments have to be uploaded in the Dropbox under the relevant weeks. The previous weeks have been removed from the Dropbox so that there will not be any problems with the uploading, however, they are stored in my PC.  We agreed that you upload the assignments of the last two weeks but you will not get full points.  Since we also agreed that the rest of the Blog posts will be topics that you will choose yourself, I would like to r...
