week1: getting to know each other

I started my day by using nicenet and discovering my new online class. I introduced myself to others in my first virtual classroom. It was a great experience meeting other teachers from other places of the globe. I am so eager to know from their own opinions and experiences in teaching English, hence exploring how difference can offer richness...I began to believe in variety and exchanging my view of the world. Now I can safely say I have started to know some good beings on earth.
Then I started by reading about the benefits of blogging in a brief but to the point article posted by the British Council website. I turned to be convinced that such a tool is of great help in teaching, yet because I am still a beginner in profiting from it with my own students things seems to be a little bit difficult at the start taking alot of time I must add. I am so determined to deeply use blogging as a way of communication outside school as well.

  2. Hello Khaled
    Nice job. You have already made two posts, and you are starting to add details and customize your blog. I think there is a lot of potential for blogs in language classes, I agree.

  3. Hello Khaled.

    Aren't we already experiencing the benefits of blogging as we read and write our posts? I think it provides the ultimate learning resource at this course because it enables us to connect, communicate and collaborate. What more could we expect from a web tool?

    Looking forward to reading your next posts,

  4. Hi, Khaled,

    What a great privilege to get to know you and other experienced teachers through bloggers. I can't wait to share the benefit with the students and people I know in Taiwan.

    Keep in touch.
