A brand New Teacher

After having this course I feel that I am a competely new teacher. In my way of thinking .In the way I handle my class problem . I my self confident . I become a brand new teacher. I have different and interesting ways to present my material. I have many answers to my problems by discussing them on line with my friends . I communicate with my students and their parents easily. My life has changed.

This is a video of a student telling us his problem in English

These are the students writing compositions on their videos

Classroom management

During the last lecture I expressed my problem in managing my class because of a naughty boy . I really benefit from my colleges advice .I assigned my student to be my assistant teacher . I involved him in my work . He become helpful and co operative in class instead of being annoying .It really worked out . THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I really love being a teacher . I found myself among children . I love living between their smiles and their innocence. I think to be a good teacher you must love your work first. To have the motive to develop yourself and benefit your students. If the child really feels that you love what you are doing then he will do his best to be like you. Don't forget we are the models they imitate.Be the good model in work devotion and they will be the same.

What comes first a teacher or a laptop ?

Integrating technology successfully in our classrooms needs both technology devices like laptops and also it needs teachers. But what comes first ? If I provide a school with all expensive and advanced
technological devices , will that ensure that this school will apply and integrate technology successfully. IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. Not matter the advanced devices we use , we still need the skilled and gifted teacher to make a good use of these devices. To give life to these machines.
So the teacher will always be the key to the success of any technological program. He can use the simplest ways of technology in a smart way that saves time and money and convey the educational message easily. So to have technology ,we must first have a skilled and well trained teacher. That makes our course very important.

My lovely Egypt

I thought a lot about the thing I am passionate about I found that I am very worried about my country .I think a lot what will become of our lovelly Egypt. I really like it . I develop myself and study to benefit my own country . Please God ( SAVE OUR EGYPT)

Be a flexible teacher

 This time I learned to be a stubborn teacher who insist on delivering the information in every possible way.  I shouldn't give up easily and try another techniques that suits my class standard and their way of thinking. this is called the flexible teacher. Of course the various types of technology we enjoy having today provide the help any teacher needs to do so .So we should all be  flexible teachers.

Sharing others' experiences

I really enjoyed  watching my colleges displaying  their lessons . The most important thing I learned is that one can learn more from others than from only reading books. Also connecting what we are explaining to the real world of our students . All the presentations shows how important it is to use technology . But it also shows that although students can get their infomation from many sources , they will always need a gifted teacher to guide and inspire them .So to form a creative children you need both : teachers and technology.

My fourth Lecture

Every time I come to the lecture ,I learn something new . When the doctor insisted to make us stand and arranged us with our last names then with our date of birth , I was very happy .I will never forget the information . I must always think of new ways to deliver the infomation to my students.Also I liked how she insisted on making sure that we all got the right way to write the references. I must also do the same and never give up until my students get the information. It is a hard but enjoyable job

Enlarging my scope of thinking.

      Starting my third lecture was very exciting to me . Every time I attend the lecture I get to know more things .I have now a strong voice pushing me and telling me that using technology in class is not as hard as I thought. Dr.Joanna arose my attention that I always have a mean of technology in class ( my mobile for example) I can make videos or audios with my students using the simplest ways I my have. So now I have no excuses for not using a technology in class .I also liked the video my friend Elham did .She really encourage me to try to do the same.I send my video about Integrated Technology . I like it as it show how you can use the smart board effectively in class also using the voting technique to get a quick respond of the students' understanding. You will all like it

Integrating Technology in the Classroom

My impressions on the second lecture
This lecture was very inspiring for me it casted lights on serious problems I face in my classes. I couldn't imagine that all these problems can easily be solved with the magic word of technology.In the two videos we watched ,I saw how I can deal with naughty classes and classes with large numbers.I can arose their attention easily by using a ppt presentation or a video. I can even make them in groups make similar videos or ppt presentation.In this way they will be interested and I won't suffer from them.Also know for the first time how can technology help teachers deal with special needs students giving them an easy way to get information. I had some otistic students who can only learn by touching or sight senses this flip camera will be very useful for them.I really enjoyed the lecture.

My first steps into the academic world

It was my first time to enjoy a lecture since I was in collage.Not just for the subject matter but also for feeling that I am among my friends. your smile encouages all of us to get used to each other and try to talk without fear.And I can't understand without feeling comfortable . Also Iam happy to be with such an ambitious group they make me feel young full of energy.Yet I feel that week that I can't

         . catch up with them but I will do my best.
