Week 9 is over and I have gone through this week with such a melancholy feeling as this course nears its end...I never imagined that 10 weeks would fly so fast. BUT good things normally do.
Our project was the major concern this week. I truly rushed teaching all that I had planned. The one week of exams and the one week of holidays did not work in my favour. As I reflect, I have to say I work 'best' under pressure. I am reminded of a tea sachet...the aroma is beautiful when it is put into some hot water! I hope my project is also 'beautiful'...
What I really would like to do now is to develop on this project and to turn the writing of it into Action Research and then present it to my District Education Department...hopefully I can share this with others BUT I will wait for my evaluation first...(don't count your chickens before they are hatched...)
My thoughts drift to "what's in store after this?"...will I be different? Am I going to return to my comfort zone and use 'no time' as the excuse?
Time will tell...maybe I should draw a pact with one of my course mates to monitor and keep tabs on each other. I wonder if any of my course mates are game for this... we check on each other once a month??
My learning experience of MI this week muddled my thoughts to the point I didn't know how to respond to the Nicenet discussion. I started questioning myself especially after reading my course mates post...their posts were so clear with ideas on technology and learning styles.
I couldn't answer my own question : say I want to teach summary skills and I have all 9 learning styles in my class. Does this mean I need to prepare activities for all learning styles just to address one LO?
Once Donna clarified, I am now less confused. Thank you Donna...I sure will miss you as you have become my 'wikipedia' ~ every time I doubt, I email you...
