1. IT - I think I hardly focused on anything else. But obviously, I must have used writing skilsl and knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, time to time I do remember to use pucntuation and spelling, I never bother to use a spellchecker, so I am sure there is a lot of misprints. I do not use the draft option as I know you will tollerate my typos. The "kids" in my classes don´t.
The kids would need the same skills since they are exactly in my "shoes" - non-native speakers of English, just learning it for a shorter period than me.
What exactly is meant by wider skill? Specific pieces of writing? Or presenting in power point? Or what? Yes, I am sure it can be used in many versatile ways, yet I cannot imagine the time demands.
Virtually any subjects.
I had mainly problems with IT, which won´t be their problem. In theirs - motivation and English.
If I understand well, I have finished for this week. Yes?n Sorry about the optional thing. I will save its copy and read it in summer, but now I behave like a "normal" student.
I hope I have done all I was supposed to as I have just received a package full of English textbooks frm our ministry of educataion and they want me to write an evaluation for them - of course, as usual, "yesterday" was late. So my weekend programme is clear. It has started snowing heavily again, so I do not mind so much.

Lucky you! You finished our this week's course work so early. I should have asked Kveta for help, she would be keen on blogs.

I hope you had "fun" with the books, or at least that they were worth reading!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had finished this week's tasks, so you deserved your "break."
Interestingly enough, in my experience, students are not 100% certain about using technology they've not used before, they're just less worried about making mistakes and learn more quickly. Even if they use technology a lot in their day to day lives, will probably use it even more in their day-to-day future (and therefore in my opinion should have this reflected in their day-to-day learning too) they often need to be guided through the basics of a subject to help get them going.
The Knowledge you've gained on this course would, without a doubt, be enough for you to help guide them through.
Good luck with your future blogging adventures and do keep a copy of the optional tasks, hopefully they'll come in useful to you!
