TEACHER RESOURCES ONLINE
So far this has been an exhausting week. There was so much interesting information that I found that motivated me to continue checking the webs that was sent to us. It took me a long time to open and read all the webs and the time just flew by!
I reviewed the web sites above and found them to be amazing because of the large variety of activities, games, cross word puzzles, bingo, flash cards, quizzes, etc. With all of this material I know that I can make a change in my English lessons.
In High School I work with a boring and unmotivated textbook and now that I know how to create motivated and dynamic activities according to their ages and level of knowledge of the language. One of the beneficial out come of all of this is that my students don’t have to spend their money on buying extra material to do their work.
I find it now so easy to create a blog, a nice net, bingo, puzzles, etc., that I simply select what I need and with a touch of the keys I have all the interactivities at hand. This helps the teacher tremendously to save time and effort and I now look forward to putting all this into practice.Another thing I learned by exploring ANVILL was the different tools and exercises along with the activities that we can choose from it in order to make our lessons more dynamic and motivating for the students. I can now say that Technology is a great tool which helps both the teachers and students in their learning process.

Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteI think all of us share the same enthusiasm with you. Preparing additional materials for our lessons is much more easy and we also have the guarantee that the materials will be very attractive and practical. What's wonderful is the fact that once created, the materials can be used over and over again.After so many articles to read last weeks, this week was more for exploring and experimenting.
All the best, Laura- Cristiana
Dear Alex! I support your idea that technology is a tool that can make easy the work of the teacher. Nonetheless, we have to know very well where and how we can find resources and how we can create them. It means that firstly we have to work hard, and then it would be easier to us.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that not all of teachers in my city want these changes in teaching. Many of them are afraid of it but we are the first people who share knowledge and skills with colleagues and it would not be an easy task. I believe that our positive example will encourage others and we will find colleagues who support us.
The best, Natalia
Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. This has been a very dense week, but we have learned to use new tools which will enhance our students´ motivation, so the effort we have make will be rewarded in our everyday lessons.
