I' ve got many excuses.

 I am passing through the long tunnel of WEEK 8. It was very hard for me to think about the plan report. Actually, many things happened to me feeling tired during this week. I cried out “I don't have enough time, I am busy and I am tired!” for myself. However, as I looked back on this week, I couldn’t manage my time efficiently. While I planned my report, I couldn’t decide which direction I will go. Therefore, I spent too many days thinking from the purpose to the process. Meanwhile, I got an advice from my partner. And then, I realized that the purpose of my technology’s tool is obscure. In addition, I read many teachers’ drafts of reports as well as my partner’s. I am planning the writing website ‘nicenet’ to enhance the overall writing ability from the structure to logical content. Step by step, I will present the topic such as ‘writing a sentence’, ‘pros and cons’ and so on. I am excited again imagining my class using this tool and communicating with my students actively. I will be no longer worried the following two weeks (week9,10). I am teaching and will teach continually. no more excuses. Soo.

    Hi Soo,

    I understand exactly the way you feel. I have gone through the same pressures earlier in the course to the point of giving up. But then I decided it was too easy to give up and that giving up easily is not a teacher's value. It was hard but all I had to do is to reorganize my priorities and adjust my schedule and tasks with some sleepless nights during the weekends and it worked. We are almost done, now. Keep it up and good luck.

      Dear Karim

      Thank you very much. I got enormous energy reading your comment. As you said, if I gave up easily, I could not encourage my students to go ahead. Thank you again.

      Soo.

    Hi again,
    Would you be interested in having your students join our international blogging experiment ( Morocco-Portugal-Serbia) in which our students are engaged in an authentic communicative exchange using english and sharing their information about their history geography and culture. You mentioned in your introduction of week 1 that you were looking forward to something like this for yoiur students, right? If so, invite your students to create a class blog and have them look at these blogs and comment on our students' introductions:

    Dear Soo,

    What can I say? If you read my last blogpost, you'll se how alike our states of mind are. Giving up never crossed my mind as I was determined to do it till the end no matter what - sleepless nights, yes, many worries and stress, a lot, but all has been worthwhile: the course and "meeting" people like you and Karim!
    Best greetings from distant Portugal,
    Alex
