Hello, I could not let you have all the fun, so here I am! This blog is intended mainly for the participants enrolled in my two Fall classes. I believe that as educators we should walk the same journey that we ask our students to, so I too will be reflecting on my learning experiences over the semester. I had my first two classes this week and what strikes me most is how alike teachers are all over the world. This made me wonder whether or not teachers have similar personalities, drives? What makes us so similar, yet so different from other professions? The other inspiring thing for me is to see how groups of teachers can be motivated to want to continue to learn, despite the challenges they may face. All of this is being done for the benefit their students! So my congratulations to all of you for taking this brave step forward and best wishes for the course. My significant technological learning points for the week were: remember to bring adapter cords and flash-drives as back-up; use cut-and-paste less often; and save, save, save files. I know these things, but my experiences this week have reminded me that I can forget. Socially, I have learnt that although we may be culturally, linguistically or nationally different, we reach others when we reach from the heart. See you next week, inshaa Allah.
you really act like us you are too motivated to teach this course . i would say that you are raising joy , care , pleasure and motivation between us all which they all create a positive atmosphere to encourage us all to learn ...this mean you effictively used " joy" from name to succes in teaching and learning " the name of the cours *_*
ReplyDeleteThanks Riham!
ReplyDeleteDear Prof. Congrats on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI really agree with you about the similarity of nearly all teachers all over the world. I also think that we need to understand and accept each other's differences and respect them as well. Your words touch me deeply and I'm sure we will all get the most out of our course.

Noha
thanks Dr Joyanne for inspiring us because I think that every time we meet some new experience is added to me at least this technology skill which I'm still trying and trying until I succeed inshaallah
ReplyDelete"I believe that as educators we should walk the same journey that we ask our students to"
ReplyDeleteYES this is amazing
I totally agree with you Dr Joyanne .The world has become a small village due to the modern technology. So people around the world have the same problems and have the same expectations and hopes .But what makes someone different from another is how to inspire those who are around him to make better changes.
