Week 10: Wrap-up...
Hello Donna and colleagues!

It was difficult for me to begin writing for this blog realizing that it is the last one.
I do admire the idea, structure and Instructor of the course -Donna Shaw very much. The classmates, i.e. colleagues are very adorable teachers and I am sure that their students are happy and lucky with them as well.
I would like to express gratitude for this learning possibility to American English Institute of the University of Oregon, US Department of State and US Embassy in Kyrgyzstan. The knowledge I have gained during the course is very resourceful and of much help to learn how to implement web tools in conducting the lessons.
 What I have learnt I am sure I am going to make use all of them.
Every week's new web tools and resources are very handy. I would like to emphasize the following web technologies:
1. Delicious.com - a helpful social bookmarking. I always can use the necessary links in planning this or that lesson;
2. Rubistar.com
3. WebQuest at www.zunal.com
4. Padlet
5. www.nicenet.org
6. www.blogger.com
7. Interative Power Point Presentation
8. PBL
9. Online Exercise/Technology tools
10. Webserching tools.
The most significant thing was that we did our best to create the above stated tools  by ourselves which was a lot motivating.

I enjoy reading articles on Learner's Atonomy, Learner's Learning Styles, The One-Computer Class and other topics. This course has enriched me in a professional way, indeed.
Each Tuesday I was waiting for the grades on Blackboard and for enhancing comments done by Donna. Every time I was clapping and patting on my back when I got excellent marks. I was a responsible and diligent student, I must say. I have learned to set ABCD objectives for the students which is really important for any teacher.

Hoping for the course to be continued.

With warmest regards,
Nazgul
