Week 8 : The Adventure of Mrs.Loytalay!

I would like to use the following quotes for my Week 8 Task-"...But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." - Robert Frost, and “A project

 is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it.” Also, “Done is better than perfect.”- Scott Allen as they both describe my situation when I was working on the most important Task of completing my Project report/Plan report. I was responsible for not being more careful with my time and not getting myself prepared to do it since the first week of the course. Additionally, my week very difficult with the tight schedules at school and the extra duties that I am responsible for. I enjoy the way Donna had us finding a partner so we could meet new people. My partner, Zenaide, was very kind to welcome me to join her, despite my students being in grade 9, and hers study as university freshmen. As a result, I can say that this course has promoted learner autonomy in me. Also, learning online, we had produced a lot of discussions, and created new technology tools for our project reports and plan reports.

by having the time limited for this task, I learnt how to create the plan report within a deadline. Additionally, I have learnt how to be a kind instructor when students have a problem, and require my help. I have learnt how to use new technology tools, but discovered that it was difficult to decide which one I enjoy using the most. The new technology tools that I decided to use were WebQuests with Patlet. Therefore, my students will learn from these techniques, and do the activities appropriately. I think it will work well with my students because it is a new experience, and thus they will enjoy it. Moreover, I decided to upload the draft for my plan report an hour before the due time. However, I found that many colleagues were trying to upload their reports too. Nevertheless, I uploaded my draft successfully and then I felt happy and relaxed.

We have one more week to complete our reports.  I have to be careful providing a clear and concise explanation and creating tasks in WebQuests. This is vital so that my students would be able to work on it easily. 

Donna has reminded us that the course is drawing to the end, so this made me very sad. I think back to the start of the course, and recognise that we have enjoyed learning so many useful things. I accepted friend requests and the invitation suggested from our Yellowgroup colleagues immediately when I saw the familiar names on my Facebook.  I would like to give a special thanks to Husni for starting our warm connection for our group. But please don’t forget to invite Donna to join us too!
