My Personal learning summary

There are really no words enough to describe my feeling after I finish this course. Truly I learn a lot of things which make me a successful person. This course gives me the confidence to be a creative teacher.  I had limited experience since I was graduated from the university few years ago .Also I did not use a web page, blogger, podcast, culminating page and rubric.  but I`m enjoying my first experience this term .Lately after I learned about  a lot of social networking sites , I touched the power of the communication. I believed that I was developed my reading, writing, typing and student management skills.this course will improve the performance of any student and enhance learning process.

However, I learned that web page is a global network includes people from all over the world to be one family and keep them in touch .as teacher I learned how I can sharing my experience with others. By Google profile I was able to introduce myself via picture and some information about me. It is my online ID.

Moreover, slideshare is effective websites which help me to share my presentation with protecting my copy rights. I learned how I can upload my Presentation and share my ideas with a lot of people around the world. However, I have watched a lot of digital storytelling and realized how digital storytelling can helps the students and enhance the process of education.

Next, I have used presentation and digital storytelling and I hope to use them when I become a teacher to explain the lessons organize my ideas. As well as I can attract the attention of students by using video, music and effective pictures. Also, I would like to share the suggestions and comments with the students. That will help the student to develop their communication and social skills.

In addition, I understood from culminating page the steps for students to create their digital storytelling in order to prove their individual learning style.

As a student I realized after doing rubric the great responsibility of the teacher to evaluate each student. Besides, I realized how it helps students to understand how I will grade their task and they will identify the parts of strength and weakness of their performance.

Finally, I believed that student’s success simply represents their teacher’s achievement

Mobile learning

There are a lot of educational applications on smartphone that could enhance the teaching proses. Such as goodreader app, mobile air mouse app, bento app,edmodo app and dropbox app ..etc.

  I will describe some of these applications and how it will be useful for teacher. The first application is goodreader app.  Instructors can use this app to access all their documents, PDF files, video and audio files, spreadsheets and many kinds of files over a wireless network or through USB cable. It is easy to regain files from any systems. The second application is bento app. It supports lesson plans track, schedules, appointments and notes of students. It is helpful when ­teachers have their hands full with many activities going on. The third application is edmodo. It is free and amazing application makes it easy for teachers and students to interact at the same time with their devices spread, manage, and grade student assignments. It's similar to Facebook, but designed exactly for teacher and students …etc.

 However any educational resources can be supported by smartphone applications. It will help the teachers to improve their performance and develop their communication, writing, typing and student’s management skills. Finally, student’s success simply represents their teacher’s achievement.

the best technology which can benefit the education most

I’ve seen this question flying around me. The question what is the best technology which can benefit the education most. In my opinion I think it is an iPad. However, all electronic sources include one or more service that teacher can find on iPad. Nowadays, the modern schools in different countries  replaced the school textbooks with iPad due to its helpful and effective. This tool of learning provides a lot of services for students and teachers.

Moreover, it has a lot of incredible applications that would  enhance learning in any classroom. It will help the teacher to improve his performance and develop the learning process. 

One of these applications is a Quick Voice Recorder: teachers can record their classes and get feedbacks then they can see what you are they doing well and what they are doing wrong to improve his or her statements.

The second application is Dropbox a documents shearing tool in the cloud. With this application, teacher does not need any more flash drives or portable hard disks. Teacher can sign up to restore his or her files online and then read them from any other compute, or smartphone.

The third application is Discover, an outstanding search tool .Teachers can search about any information bu using this application.

 There is a lot of helpful application in this website

My example of digital storytelling

As part of my hopes I will be a teacher to be a part of the education improvement process back in my country. I believe that teaching is the most honorable massage in this life. ,In addition, I wish to use digital storytelling to enhance my lessons and attract the attention of my students.

I hope to teach reading subject to the sixth grade students who speak English as a second language. In addition, the new digital storytelling assignment will talk about health and nutrition. Consequently, students will interest to read about it .and it will help them to improve the reading skills by enjoyable ways.

I was created an example to post on my wiki. Then, students will able to create digital storytelling. Please let me know if there is any difficult vocabularies on my project since my student speak English as a second language.

Digital storytelling in the classroom

 Digital storytelling is one of the best teaching methods that enhance the learning process. As a teacher I did not use it.  On the other hand, I have used the mestory on Electronic Resources course this semester and I was so glad to learn how I can share my ideas with my classmate.

As an international student I had some difficulties when I started to learn English language. But reading class was a powerful class to improve my language faster. Consequently, I hope to teach reading subject when I become a teacher to the sixth grade students who speak English as a second language. In addition, the new digital storytelling assignment will talk about who I am. Then, students will create a short story about their self. It will support them to develop their language. Besides on the end of the project, they must inscribe what are the new vocabularies that they learn from assignment.

. Moreover, I believe that Digital storytelling is an effective way to build the vocabularies. It will allow student to improve their reading skills, writing skills, communication skills and Presentation Skills .However, I would like to learn them how they can add media elements such as images, video or music on their project. In summary, there are some useful web resources that I will give to my student.

Video Games for Better Learning

Video games are one of the valuable learning tools for early age. It is attractive to note that Video games will improve the thinking skills for the student .It is one of the best ways of educational technology. However, students by education programs or games can solve the problems and rich their goals.

Many of students spend a lot of time for playing video games. But, it is necessary from their parents to control them and develop security software on their computers. Also, Parents should replace the entertainment games with educational games which can grow their skills in education.

In addition, teachers must keep this question in their mind. The real question is how children will love the education. The education should be fun and enjoyable since they cannot understand that education is crucial.

 As a teacher I want to use any kind of activity or game that will demonstrate what is require. I hope to find many computer games that help learning process since teacher cannot separate the technology form education at this time.

There is a useful website

Replace school textbooks with the iPad

Replace school textbooks with the iPad 

When I was young, I always asked myself can we one day replace the textbooks with something different. Why we always carry a lot of textbooks and we just use a few pages daily.

Now, after the Ipad tablet came to life and captured the minds and hearts of young children and adults. Some schools in some countries such as UAE decided to replace the textbooks with Ipad. The basic idea came because we need to equip students by providing the best technologies to serve education. Also, the displayed graphics and the slim design used in Ipad have a primary role in the learning process enhancement. Moreover, the touch screen in the device will help the student highly concentrate.

One of the best features in Ipad which used in class is every student can choose any topic from any source and discuss the ideas with the teacher. Students can easily highlight texts, send it to other classmates, or read comments. Apprentices can also download a lot of applications at the break time games, books or stories. So, they can share with anything that they need in few minutes. In addition, the cost of Ipad for each student is 500$ or less, but it is not too much for a better education.

Technology is one of the valuable and vital things in life. I wonder how life will be without any means of technology that is count between the musts nowadays.

Learning with technology			weekly schedule

     Technology is a vital tool in our life I can't Peruse my future Internet. Internet became a portable library for everyone and an important part of our daily activities. You can search for any word, image or information. Internet will help us to provide more than one way of teaching. It is a big source where there are all the books. students can also find some of the online education programs in different levels. Moreover, it helps to connect with the whole world by a low cost.

     I learn a lot of thing by using internet. I learn that Google and yahoo are an effective search tools help us to find what we need to know .Also it helps us to identify a lot of websites that we never knew before. However, the time for research by goggle much less compared to traditional methods. Also, we can get the views of scientist’s researchers who specialize in various fields in any scientific issue.

     In addition, blogger website makes me know how the people. So,I can communicate with my classmate and my friend, and I can learn from their experiences.

Something I hope to add/I hope to replace school textbooks with Ipad like some schools. The basic idea came because we need to equip students by providing the best technologies to serve education.

I would like to learn more about anew education programs that will help student to get better learning.

what we are doing for the student

  Are we doing what is the best fore our student ,or are we doing what is the most convenient for us? u

There are two different arguments to the debate of the educational methods used by the tutors in schoo
people argue that teachers don't provide sufficient tools to support the educational means such as the use of visual aids in order to decrease the duration of the class. In my opinion I criticize this point of view and support the argument that teachers do usually prioritize Students learning in a way that use different teaching methods to 

.deliver the concept and the material easily and clearly to student

But you should keep in your memory one question and the question is can you do the best for your students 

and more favorable for them at the same time.Of course you can all that you need is to have a good style of education with good handling as well as you should use all the factors that help you on th

.

Moreover, the idea of ​​integrating technology in the curriculum is one of the most effective factors which help any teacher to facilitate doing what is best for students and to organize his ideas with the latest teaching methods
