Week 6 outline of the tasks and content

 Hello again, 

I hope that you will all be happy and smiling even though there seems like there are so many things that you have to complete for this week. 



However, these are all knowledge and skills that you will need to apply for the final project. The harder you work towards its accomplishment the more satisfied you will be with the outcome. 


So, for this week, we had to focus on the planning, organisation and researching for the content. Remember that this is the backbone or the foundations of any task that you are working on. The more solid the foundation, the more sturdy the structure, that you will built on it, will be. Therefore, you need to dedicate more time and efforts to this stage of your project. 

Your tasks for this week are related to the groups that were formed during class and you will have to prepare an Interactive PPT presentation. The previous Blog post gave you the instructions about how to create an interactive PPT or if you find it too complicated, then you can also use this material to create your own interactive features in a PPT presentation. You will be expected to share with the classroom at least three features (the minimum) but you can create more than that. The students who were not present during the seminar can create their own pairs but all of you will have to present next Monday. 

WebQuest is also another task that you have to complete for this week. Since the website that was shared with you in the assignment, Zunal.com, was very slow and more information on that can be found here, you can also check this link for more information or available programes/apps that you can use to create a Project. You also use the materials that you will find while researching as the basis for your Blog post for this week, so you do not have to post something different from what you are researching. 

Your friend, Meglina, had also researched another app/programme that was quite interesting and you can use it in the future with your students or for your project. https://www.bookwidgets.com, some of these apps/programs have a month free trial so you can use them during this period. 

If you still puzzled or overwhelmed with this week, I can assure you that this is the last week that you will have to work so hard :) 

Have a fruitful week!

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...
