Reflection of the end of Week 2


In week two I have learned a lot about at least two things: search engine web and ABCD objectives. While in the beginning of week 2 I still concentrate completing some missing tasks and assignments, may be the other participants have already tuned in and busy completed the tasks and assignments for week two. As the days passed by I was able to manage my time and slowly I started enjoying on-line and following the activities.
 
The first topic about search engine is very  interesting and fruitful. From the instructor and other participants in discussion activity I know different kinds of search engine, not only google, for example www.noodletools.com from which I can choose the topic areas more specific and suitable for my need. Beside that, I also get a link from which I can access to get more materials and information not only for me as teacher (<br /> <a href="http://iteslj.org/">The Internet TESL Journal</a>- Articles, Research Papers, Lessons Plans, Classroom Handouts, Teaching Ideas & Links <br />),but also for my students (<br /><a href="http://a4esl.org/">Activities for ESL Students</a>- Free online quizzes, exercises and puzzles to help you study English<br />). From the discussion about search engine I also get answer to my question about a web that provide information and activities about English for specific purposes. Thank you Ruta who has shown me the web http://www.eslhome.com/esl/esp/. Also Han Na and Celeste who share respectively information about youtube for school, teachertube for teacher . They are good site to access.

Another topic concerning ABCD objectives is also interesting to talk about. The ABCD objectives is very  clear and simple guidance in how to state the objectives of learning. Reflecting on the ABCD objectives model, the learning objectives which my colleagues and I made so far do not match with the elements of ABCD objective. Due to the clarity and measurability of the objective statements using ABCD model, I want to revise my learning objectives to become more clear and measurable.
