Its beautiful morning out here; sweet melody of chirping
birds and beautiful blameless blue sky are enough to create a proper mood to
look back seventh week. Through out this week a single term “AUTONOMY” has been
striking my mind. Though the concept and objective of learner’s autonomy is
really good, in a way we have been on this academic forum to find multiple ways
of strengthening learner’s autonomy, I feel and find a lot of problems to
propagate this concept to our academia.
This week most of the students in my class have created
their own blog; in this first phase they are just sharing their unforgettable
incident of life. They are also supposed to comment on other’s post. I am quite
excited that they are really expressive. Just yesterday one of the students shared his problem with me that
her parents wouldn’t allow her to use internet in her home; it is because they
think internet, still to be particular Facebook simply the waste of time and
has no importance at all. She has requested me to talk to her father and
convince about the positive side of internet. I am wondering how I talk to him.
Nonetheless, I had talked to my college coordinator and suggested her to use
college’s internet lab as far as possible, What’s more some of the students
complained that they couldn’t do it due to 12 hours power cut off everyday. In
spite of these complications, students seem encouraged to reflect their ideas
through blog.
More than anything else I enjoyed Wallwisher this week. It
can be highly useful in our field especially to encourage the students to share
their views, comment on the others and collect writing strategies from others. Its
so fascinating that, I am fully assured, students can’t stop posting their
ideas on it. This week we are also supposed to suggest partner for peer review.
I am so happy that Sitaram and I will be assisting each other through peer
review. Once again it has been really busy week as I am more concerned on the
preparation of the project plan.
