| LoTI tools |
As we come to the ‘terminal’ of the online Web-Skill Course
in this week, it is tempting to look back in order to see what we have been
through, where we have been and to congratulate ourselves as a field for all
our accomplishments. During this course, we have been brought through a vast
range of technology knowledge and tools to help teachers in and out of the
classroom.
Going through the path of reminiscing and reflecting on the
past, I can say that Blogging, interactive PowerPoint, Audio Podcast with
AudioBoom, Delicious, Padlet Wall, Nicenet, Google Sites have been so
influential for me to use predominantly outside the studying hours. These tools
are not only captivating but also ideal for my students who need more practice
outside the class.
With that in mind, I highly recommended this sort of online
course for my friends and colleagues to take with the tips that once you take
it, you have to be committed and do not do things in half way.
Since I had gone through all the Week 9 assignments by
Friday, I started to brush through the Optional Reading Resources of Week 10.
It was about how teachers assess their LoTI (Level of Technology Integration)
which have several models, one of which I found simple is the SAMR framework
but then it turns out that officially we just have to read the other two models
(three tiers of State Washington and TIM of Florida).
Eventually, as this is the last and final week of the course, I
would like to thank my instructors (Robert Elliot and Russell Moon) for all
their effort, patience and their guidance without which I would not have stepped this far and my highest appreciation goes to RELO, US Embassy
Jakarta, Indonesia as my sponsor for this course program, especially to Ms Jennifer Uhler, Ibu Ayunda Siagian , as well as to "Politeknik Negeri Medan" for the support. Last but not least, to all my course mates, I want to say that I really enjoyed our "togetherness". THANK YOU for all the "fun". I am going to miss this camaraderie and looking forward to keeping in touch with y'all.
I really like your heading of the post. Yes, we got introduced to many platforms, still, we have to integrate what we learned in our teaching practices. Great, that were introduced to many empowering platforms hope we effectively use some of them to the most in our to help and empower our students.

ReplyDeleteAdieu the course but not from heart all the classmates remain in heart forever. We share ideas and experiences and make a knot ourself subconsciously. Learning webskill is a great one.
