REFLECTION TEN WEEK

THANKS TO EVERYBODY 

I wish the course would prolong and go for more weeks. I wish Donna would be always and every time there to guide us, share more, and motivate us; and I wish such a academic companies would contribute yet further to unleash our potentiality and make us realize that we got to share and apply our innovative methods and technology to our students. But the reality is Friday would be the last day of our 10 week long journey, still the possibility of immense possibilities are shining at forth, that would lead us further to integrate technology assisted class.

When I navigate back to first and second week, I should admit that, I was in utter confusion and dilemma; I even didn’t have sound ideas regarding proper use of Blogs. So creating and posting my own opinions and ideas in blogs for the first time was really really awesome! From the second week itself we were supposed to post some of the problems that we are encountering in our class room and think about  their possible solutions.   By the end of fourth week I was quite excited thinking about the possibility of creating a web-discussion forum like nicenet, which I create later on. So every e-resource whether we talk about Delicious page, Project Based Learning, Webquest, Interactive powerpoint, Wallwisher, creating class wiki or the concept of ANVILL seem equally helpful and resourceful. I do believe that these are some of the approaches using which we can ensure learner’s autonomy; and make our classes more interactive and participatory.  Despite the usefulness of all these approaches, I feel, it would be better, had we given more time on the practical approaches of PROJECT-BASED LEARNING. I would love to precede my academic pursuit and study on the different facets of PROJECT-BASED LEARNING even in future.

 May be one year down the line or some years down the line I will be using more such resources to make my classes the real and live class. I am fully optimistic that the development of our own classwiki or classblog and similar other ways of board-discussion will lead the class to a new level and  a new height. I am so excited to work further and make it all fruitful. Believe me, every year by the end of session I used to be so anxious thinking that how boring days I will have next year. This year I have just excitements and planning....

I am so delighted that I have got lot of new and innovative ideas through this program. I wish I could have got basic ideas about the use of online resource before I started this program. For example had I got ideas about creating my own blog or ideas about some useful web-sites, it would be even more useful. Nonetheless I feel that it's a beginning; I may go tottering in between but I am pretty sure that eventually the journey would be exciting, interesting and adventurous. Thanks to Donna, Oregon and my class mates for making me realize it.
