ITS the 10th & FINAL WEEK
Is it time to bid GOODBYE to ALL my friends in trhe E course
Its hard to find the vocabulary to express my sentiments - Relief??? Sadness?? Achievement?? Nostalgia??
I must state explicitly, I'm sure glad that I decided to follow the E course on 'Interactive Web Skills'. There's so much that I have learned about the benefits and advantages in integrating technology into language teaching in order to promote creativity, diversity in teaching material, and enhanced student interaction among peer groups.
Of course, I have to keep in mind the lack of resources in access to technology in most schools and educational institutions in rural and under priviledged areas. Yet, despite obstacles, I'm determined to make best use of existing resources, in terms of technology enhanced teaching.
HEY ALL - I look forward to keeping in touch with all of u'll. It will be encouraging to know the extent to which others have put to practice the knowledge and information gained in the classroom.

HEY ALL! It's Ruki.
Overcoming obstacles on the road to SUCCESS
It was rather challenging finding keeping to deadlines to complete the final project. But, I made it. Am looking forward to the comments from our instructors as it will be a learning experience. Earlier on, during the middle of the E course, when my email account was hacked and I was unable to log on to my mail, I was totally disheartened and never though I would be able to get back on the E course.But, i managed to get back on, with Jodi's encouragement to some how finish. Now I'm glad I did re join and now on the verge of completing it.
I feel I have been on a express train with limited stops, during the 9 plus weeks gone by. Nevertheless, I have been introduced to so much knowledge and information. I look forward to including much of what I have learnt in my teaching. As some classrooms in Sri Lanka frequently lack access to computers or internet facilities; technology infusion it will undoutedly be challenging. So, I'm glad for the material I read on being creative in a one-computer classroom.

Its the end of the 8th week on the E Course - Honestly, I don't know if I should sad that the 10 weeks of enriched learning has whizzed past OR ELSE if I should be happy that after two more weeks I do not have to be stressed about doing assignments and keeping to deadlines for E course.
This week, I learned much writing the lesson plans. I'm thankful for the comments I received from my partners. I look forward to editing and revising my lesson plan. The web resources/tools introduced through the readings are excellent resources to enrich and diversify the teaching process to engage student interaction. I'm currently in the process of exploring and discovering various web sources, 'Tools for Education' to enrich my teaching. In the past years I had limited IT usage in the classroom to PP etc. But, now I have started to increasingly incorporate technology into my lesson plans. The student response to creative learning sessions has been very encouraging indeed.
