WEEK 4: Skill-building Websites for Reading/Writing Skills and Technology-enhanced Lesson Plans.
All the work done this week really paid off. I had the opportunity to learn about resources, technology enhanced lesson plans, new websites and issues to address in class.

I started the week reading the material about process writing which really helped me understand the right approach to writing and the way I should use different techniques in order to receive better results from my students. This really paid off in class because I tried it and I noticed the difference.
I then went on to check the websites for enhancing reading, writing and vocabulary and I ran into a couple of pages which were really interesting and fun. I believe, if correctly applied, they can be very interesting tools for learners development.

Creating the lesson was familiar, surprising and satisfying for me, because I realized even though I was one of the few teachers in my school who prepared lessons actively, I still have some flaws and I still have a lot to learn. Which is gratifying because that's why I intended to take this course. So at the end I think my lesson plan was good and most of all I liked the fact that we are focusing on solving an issue through technology enhanced tools and resources.
Finally I came upon describing my classroom and mentioning an issue
which can be solved with the use of technology. This part was eye opening for me due to the fact that I hadn't really analyzed my class in this way for a long time. And it helped me realize how important it is to do this constantly especially if we are trying to improve our students' development.

I came across more material, resources, information, etc. and as usual a challenge regarding time distribution. But overall I enjoyed exchanging comments and opinions and interacting with the rest of you guys.
Have a Great Weekend and continue with more enthusiasm!

I admire your work on trying a new technique in your lesson and seen a difference.
Also,you found an interesting website that you liked and willing to try it.
Even though you are one of the very few do lesson planning it's true that it helps a lot. It's almost like our guide :)
