My Fifth Day at NILE

What things have you covered in today’s sessions?

We have had a look at each other's blogs today. We have seen how much progress everybody has made with their blogs. We have also been introduced some new websites for lesson plans and teaching and learning resources. We have also been given some information on how to use Snagit technology.

What technologies have you been exposed to?

We have been been exposed to some new technologies such as Screen Capture Software and SnagIT. Russell Stannard has a great video on how we can use these tools to give better feedback to our students. We have also been introduced some useful websites such as breakingnewsenglish.com, and listenaminute.com where teachers can access to many resources that they can use in their classes.

How might you use the technologies/techniques in your own teaching and learning?

I might use Screen Capture Software to give feedback to my students. Here is an example of how I can give feedback to one of my students on her essay.

What value would these techniques/technologies add to your teaching and learning?

These technologies will revolutionize the way I give feedback to my students.

What challenges do you foresee?

These technologies require internet connection and some of my students might not have access to the Internet in their accomodation. Also, our classrooms are crowded and teachers are overwhelmed by workload.
