Week 1 Reflections

It is a great feeling to feel like a student from time to time. Though I have been working as a teacher for about 17 years now, still doing some studies, doing some online, a teacher and a student on the same day, I love that, “Never too old to learn.” So far I have learned from nearly everything in this course, even the course description. The plan of the page with very clear and well organized points, the learning objectives for each week, the readings, the  Ground rules for discussions gave me ideas to use in my class, even the online discussions - comparing rubrics shows the professionalism of those who prepared the. Creating a blog at Blogger gave me more ideas on how to make another blog for my students as I am always in contact with them through the Facebook, email and my previous blog, (http://mrheshamenglish.wordpress.com/) yet this gave me more ideas to do later. Also Blogging for ELT http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/blogging-elt, this was great as to show the benefits of having a teacher’s blog then one for the class and personal ones for the students with great ideas and extra links. This will prove to be of great use to my classes in the future. I have enjoying every bit of my work so far and I hope we will all be working for the good of all students all over the world.
