Week 7

Hi,
Time by time we have more readings and discussions each week. Fortunately, we can take part in only one of them, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to   read all the articles provided by Sean, in spite of that they are all interesting and useful. This week I have chosen articles related to having one computer in the classroom, since it’s my situation. I hoped to find a lot of interesting strategies and activities which I could use in my teaching. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. Although the article Microsoft Word and PowerPoint in the Classroom (http://www.deborahhealey.com/techtips/may2009.html) was very interesting. Concerning my web mates’ posts, they were very interesting and full of ideas! I think effective use of  computer in the classroom depends on the creativity of a teacher.
This week was also special with choosing project partners. It was quite interesting and may be difficult for somebody, but not for me, since I was interested in Manda’s web quest from the beginning. So I didn’t have any doubts in choosing my partner. And fortunately Manda agreed to work with me.

As for Padlet task, i am still working on it, I am in the process of searching. Hopefully, I have one more day.

That is all for this week, and I hope to finish my draft project on time by the end the next week. 

Best,

Samarat
