A Tale of  A Week with Difference

Hi friends!

Time is passing so fast. Around a month ago we got selection for this excellent E-Teacher training course. After a passionate waiting finally we started it on 7th of this month. But we are already  to finish second week of the course within few hours. Yes, I must not get the week back. Is it possible for you to do so? Surely not. Then, is it totally lost? Is it completely forgotten? I am confused what would be your answer. But I am confident about mine: The week is surely one of the most successful ones I have ever passed. You may throw the question with a frowning eye-brows: Successful?

Yes, obviously, this is  a week of exploration, a week of critical thinking, a week of planning, a week of achievement and finally a week of enlightenment.

You don't know how much excited I felt when I navigated the sites and links given by Donna. That was an overwhelming experience. I was simply stunned to see the collection about which I never knew, I never imagined. That was  really an unexplainable experience. Hundreds of sites for billions of information  about different disciplines forced me to think once again about my good luck of being selected for the course. Before this I knew quite a few number of websites, But now I have a huge collection to search and to be enriched.

I surely and boldly will also call the week a week of critical thinking. As per my mentor Donna's direction I had to make  comments on one of my colleague's posting on web searching. I chose Sonia Low' s posting as it appeared to be resourceful and fruitful as she seemed to toil a lot to look at the sites and links. Here suggestions are really valuable and considerable.

This is also a week of planning for me. In fact, we were instructed to do a ground work for our final project. Again, being properly guided by Donna's instructions, I worked on the first phase of the project. I believe that it is certainly a great stride towards my final project.

This is also a week of achievement and enrichment. Speaking honestly, this is the first time I have read about ABCD model for planning a language program. ABCD method is surely a scientific one which helps a teacher to determine his/her goal keeping some other factors such as students, their needs in mind. Along with this we were instructed to go through  Bloom's Taxonomy which also enriched my knowledge.

Finally, because of all those things the week is certainly a week of enlightenment and enrichment. So the week cannot be lost in oblivious. This cannot be forgotten. This is certainly a week to remember. This is certainly a week to cherish.
