finale blog post 1


blog 1: 

  1. You participated in two PBL (problem-based-learning) activities. You were given a set of problems and asked to create activities. Reflect on your experience. You may answer the following questions:
  • what was your role?
  • what did you do?
  • did you learn something new from the activities?
  • were the activities useful in developing your knowledge in the use of technology? why?




- My role in the Pbl activity was more like a facilitator for the students. In this activity, the teacher only guides the students, explains the instructions and the students do the rest of the work. 
I explained to the students what writeabout is about, and showed them the website and the question, then I asked them to do it alone and when they finish they comment on their classmates' bridging. 
- while doing the activity I learned that bridging can not only be done in a traditional way but in an engaging way that engages the students, especially it is about writing, thus the students need to be engaged in the activity and in the task at hand. 


blog 2: 


you submitted a lesson plan at the beginning of the course and you submitted two more during the course. How did your lesson plan change/ develop as you took the course.



It changed a lot, during the lesson I always learned something new, and it is good to know about all these websites that we used, because later on, they became useful. 
before learning about these activities, I used to teach vocabulary in the individualized lesson in cards or bingo (something repetitive) but after knowing these websites I applied them once when teaching vocabulary.
the students had a lot of fun doing them, they were engaged and paid attention to the activity. When the lesson was about to be done, I asked them about the words and they remembered them.

1. in this website I learned how to do different activities such as crossword, puzzle, etc. these games are fun to do and engaging for the students. I am sure that the students are going to enjoy them. 2. first we log in after we made our account, then create a new activity, select the type of the activity that we want to create, select the language, title, description and the level, then we click on next to start creating the game. To add words of the puzzle we click on add, the clue in it can be a text, a picture or an audio file. and so we start creating it. 3. we can apply this website when we teach new vocabulary or if we want to review them. 4. I chose words that I teach in the school that I practice in. the words are for grade seven, and they are good to be learned for the weak students by doing them in this engaging way so that is why I am going to give it to them.
