Week 4: Skill-building Websites for Reading/Writing Skills and Technology-enhanced Lesson Plans

SURFING BY THE WEB

This week I learned a lot, I had visited the web-pages that our teacher sent us while I was surfing by the net the time passed and passed because all of them were very interesting and I want to use with my students as soon as possible. Some of these pages are: 

• Lauri's ESL Website - grammar, vocabulary, listening exercises. The Flash ones are especially interesting.
  http://fog.ccsf.edu/~lfried/ 
  
• ESL Independent Study Lab - Michael Krauss
  http://www.lclark.edu/~krauss/toppicks/toppicks.html 
  
• Activities for Students (be selective about what you choose)
  http://a4esl.org/
  
• Many Interesting Things for ESL Students
  http://www.manythings.org/

Despite I checked all the pages that Robert post for us in the Discussion I talked about Lauri's ESL Website - grammar, vocabulary, listening exercises. Into this page we have lot of tools as for example. I found it new and cool for them, at the moment that the students open the web page they feel that this page is for teens for the colors and the presentation, every topic written into motivate the students and the reading are graduated according with their necessities, we can find grammar, esl classes, students writing, reading and listening, and to complete all this information we have extra material. 

Other activity that we have to checked and did, It was a class plan based taking in count these files 

• "Lesson plans" from the Innovative Technology Center at the University of Tennessee:
  http://edtech.tennessee.edu/~bobannon/lesson_plan.html
  
• Lesson Plan with Technology Template (Word .doc file)

 In these web pages I had the opportunity to know exactly How to make a class plan It's very long and I believe that we can use this form when we want to make a project, if we follow this steps we know that, when, where, why, to who, the class is going to be given. so I LEARNED A LOT AND IT'S VERY 

USEFUL.Thanks Robert. 

On the other hand in the task project 3 we had to describe some Issues, it was about we had to remember  class and students that you described in Week 2, and how technology might help us in the class,

As you can read we had a hard job but very educative so while the time is running I feel that I learn more and more Issues that I want to use with my pupils. 

Let's wait the week 5 

Hugs and Kisses .
