Week 2 : The Magic Box was opened


Week 2 was wonderful, it seems to me as a magic box. I got a surprise from Janine. It was Jubitaergrade.com. I screamed with joy this is what I was looking for: a grade book for my class. My happiness was so great that I didn't notice the low grade I got. My grade comes lower than I expect. The details showed that one of the tasks was missing. Actually, my eagerness to get familiar with this site was much more than my desire to know my grade details. When I surfed Week 2 tasks, I got another parcel full of amazing surprises: Noodletools. I spent a lot of time surfing some of the search engines and thinking of how we can make good use of them in teaching. I went through the discussion on the Nicenet to explore my colleagues' recommendations but to my surprise, most of them advised using Google. I posted my recommendations with some suggested applications in classroom. I recommended: Biography.com, and BBC Special Reports for teaching language skills and Directory of Open access for teacher professional development.  The last gift was ABCD objectives model. Studying ABCD model paves our way to plan our project well. At the end I added some new search engines to Janines Wiki.
I am still waiting for opening the magic box: Technology tools

First of all, we as teachers, are finding out so many new tools to improve our teaching in the classrooms and gaining so much experince too from each other every week by reading our postings on Nicenet.
