Hi Everybody



Learning is a kind of passion. There is a thirst when there is a passion for something. And truly speaking, I have a thirst for learning. I have just entered into the blog for learning. This is a very special platform for us for sharing our ideas and quenching our thirst.Our teachers are supporting us enthusiastically and our responsibility is to heighten their enthusiasm showing our commitment in learning through webskills.
So far I know, teaching language using modern technology is a must for this twenty-first century. Our learners of any corner of the world listen to English through cell phones, television, computer and other digital tools. Think, what happens, if we do not use such modern technology in our class and teach only with chalk and board? So, we have to grab this opportunity and learn more and more about the use of digital tools in our class.

Reflection of the first week tasks: (6/25/2011)
Regarding the tasks that I had to complete this week, I got unforgettable experience. Really I was not so familiar with some of these tasks. Firstly, I created my own Google account. For that I totally followed the instructions that Donna had sent me. Then I created my nice net account.
I had already got the class key so used it and joined in a class. In the beginning I faced a number of problem but Later I got a success. I went through the messages that out teacher Donna and my e- friends wrote. Then had to create my academic blog. In the beginning I thought it was a simple task but when I started to do it I knew the reality. That time I realized how difficult to learn something. I tried for many times but I failed. I read the instructions that Donna sent us thoroughly and tried but I couldn't. This time I realized how difficult it was to bring the theoretical knowledge into practice. I wrote Donna when I faced the problems. She kindly helped me. I tried and tried and nearly I was hopeless. I again read the steps and the instructions I got from our teacher Donna. I listed out the steps into my copy and did as it was instructed. This time I got success. I knew this when Donna wrote me:

Hi Kamal,

This is a great blog. I love the photo of your hometown. It's beautiful.

Donna
I got excited seeing the very encouraging remarks from my respected teacher, Donna. I at once spoke, "Thank you Donna...". I shared it with my lovely wife. I am still in confusion whether my blog is visible to all my teachers and e-friends or not. If not please send me I am learning and it is my first phase in this field.
I have some more tasks for doing this week and the week is about over. I just went through the ground rules for discussion and rubrics. The stated rules are really nice and I agree with them. I have already sent the comment on it but still I am not sure whether I am doing systematically or not. I am going through the messages and post that friends and teachers have posted. Really I need your help. I think this may be the motto of our course Learning through webskills.
Thank You.

  5. Hi Kamal

    How sincere your reflection is :) I really loved it. We are all here to learn from initially Dear Donna and each other. May be at the end of the course, we will laugh altogether at the mistakes we have done so far. Everything looks great on your blog.
