PROMISES

I remember promising to write here regularly and keep the track of things I am doing in my classes.However, after the course finished, unfortunately, I didn't feel intrinsically motivated to even visit the site.Today I am here to keep my promise.
What have I been doing since the course finished?
I have finished checking the exam papers and uploaded the grades into the system. It's worth mentioning here because the otomotion system is going through its infancy in my institution and it's been a hard job to download the system and create all the classes I teach and distribute the students, finally entering their grades. Thanks to our webcourse, I have improved my IT skills now :) I was able to do them all with no further assistance :)
I was plannnig to assign a webquest task to my students, and I have already initiated it. Next Friday, my students will gather in the class and with all their notes and printed out materials, sit together and write their articles.I changed the final product into an in-class activity since there was no time for drafting and I didn't just want to be given perfectly written articles at the end. At least, as a class activity I will be able to see how seriously they take it; they will also be able to share their ideas and even help each other. I don't want it to be a frightening writing experience. Instead, I want it to be an enjoyable learning experience.
There is a saying after all "learning is what is left after we forget what we are taught at school" :)
