week 4

As the more quickly weeks pass, the easier and more clear and useful the e-teaching skills becomes. By the time passing , I believe that this course is very helpful for teaching. During the past week I learned and did many things I can mention them as follow: : (Three Extensive Reading Activities for ESL/EFL Students Using E-books)by Mei-Ya Liang and (Using Internet-Based Children's Literature to Teach EFL) by Larry J. Mikulecky I learned how to guide students how to choose, read and share and evaluate e-books. I also learned how technology can save time and money. I got some information about helping students choose and read an e-book from a library for example (the five fingers method) . I searched and found some useful websites for developing reading ,writing and vocabulary some of them are: http://www.tumblebooks.com/ http://www.eslfast.com/ http://www.childrenslibrary.org http://courses.britishcouncil.org/pub/tkt/ for teachers http://www.learningchocolate.com/ for multilevel learners http://www.bygosh.com/index.html for multilevel learners. I learned how to make technology lesson plan and how it is different from the normal lesson plan because the former is a tool and an aid of the later. I shared my own sample technology lesson plan at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-Ntjk0YHiwqOHZHZEpsUzVVM28/edit?usp=sharing I shared project step 3 in nicenet where I focused on the problem I touch it with my students and find that technology may help in solution . My instructor helped me in limiting and focusing on the problem so I am appreciated and proud of such teacher to be my instructor. Be full of hope because life is full of beautiful things, Riyadh
