Week 6

I can't believe it is already end of Week 6!
This week, I learnt more about interactive Power Point presentations and how to make lectures with PPP more engaging. I liked the articles suggested by Donna and found Bingo, summarising, blank slide and other tricks as interesting. I have tried to make a Jeopardy Game using the PPP. I need to practice more especially in the design.

Now about the most important task! It is so soon that we need to submit the report! As I am not teaching this term, I will be focusing on the plan. But I want to create class blog where I will post the main info on the course and the tasks for the Final Portfolio.
I have created a blog on the blogger, and the name is DUET, as the name of our program - Development for Uzbekistan English teachers. But I haven't posted anything yet as I am compiling the list of entries in Word document, then I will post them.
So far I am thinking of having the following posts:
1. Introduction to the course
2. List of suggested on-line articles (links)
3. Instructions for creating own blog
4. Portfolio entry 1.
5. Portfolio entry 2.
6. Portfolio entry 3.
7. Portfolio entry 4.
8. Portfolio entry 5.
9. Assessment

For each portfolio entry I will give task specifications, links (if appropriate), deadlines. Trainees will be able to leave comments if they need any clarifications.
And they will have to create their own blog where they will post their Portfolio entries. The supervisors and others will be able to give feedback on their posts.

I hope it will work.

    Hello Nodira,

    It's noteworthy that you have outlined your courses of actions this early on. You deserve a thumbs up for that.

    I am pretty sure that your trainees will gain a lot just like you while being exposed to the tools which promote interactivity.

    Best regards and wish you the best always,

    REBECCA

    Dear Nodira,

    I think the idea of creating a digital portfolio is excellent, it would be great for your learners to have the chance to develop their own creativity when designing their own blog. But I am thinking of your time to check them, How many students are you teaching next term? will you be able to follow the individual entries (time wise)?
    You mentioned supervisors in your entry, do you mean there would be peer evaluation of the blogs because that is a great idea and it would help you a lot when grading.
    I really like your idea.

    Letty

    Dear Nodira,
    The Online portfolio is the second generation to the classical one which faced many challenges due to the time it requires, the number of students and other various hardships. Your new entries sound very promising for good results.
    I would like to share you the following website for a project that I have attended in the city of Graz in Austria, Europe.
    www.ecml.at
    This website had contains documents and samples for online portfolios in Europe. I think it will be of a good help and good luck with your project.
    Regards
    Haggag
