Building Teaching Skills Through the Interactive Web
University of Oregon
Week 1- My Reflections
Here is my first blog, I will share my reflections here and
will look forward to my friends’ comments. I have never created a blog and
neither did I use Nicenet, so, these are 2 main things I have learnt in week 1.
Nicenet is more like a forum which I did before on different projects, so, when
I logged in I could navigate quite easily. It was different with creating a
blog since it was something completely new to me and I turned to the
instructions every now and again. They were very helpful and here I am with my
reflections. I am sure most of my students are very well familiar with blogging
and can easily create them but the fact is blogging is not widely spread in my
country as a teaching tool as it is in Argentina according to Elena Rivas.I am sure we shall come to it but a bit later. I think, for the beginning I’ll start the idea of using the blog for the English department in my school. To keep it active and lasting I need to learn all the details to be able to pass it down to my colleagues.
Irada we are no genious let me tell you- I am in charge of 40 schools and 200 teachers which means that not everybody does. Some do, others do some other things like Storytellins and that is all great too. What I think is important is to learn that blogs, technology and so on are a tool, a resource to teaching. The teacher is still the main thing.

Hi Irada: Your blog looks great and it is exciting to know this is your first one. Nicenet and blogger are two tools you will be very comfortable with by the end. But there are many tools we will try out more briefly. You are off to a great start! -Robert
