Ten Week 's Journey


Building Teaching Skills through Interactive Web

Ending refers to beginning

It is the last blog that I am writing for Building Teaching Skills through Interactive Web. But what I learnt from this course is beginning to implement in the real setting. Learning is never ending process, it goes on and goes and never stop. Only the change in learning is its form and its multi- name.  And what I learnt from this class is one of the forms of learning and when I will take another course, it will be another form of learning. However, whatever form of learning we use, all gives us something new and which insight us with new way of thinking. You might be surprise why I say learning is a ‘form’. I like to say it is form because the final destination of the learning is encounter with the inherent knowledge of the world and understand the system of the world. Therefore, this course is one of the forms for me which not only teach me about the technology but also help to build the relationship between multi cultural groups of people.

For me learning is essential or basis needs but besides it making the good relationship is great things. By talking about the technology, just for learning, we can learn from anywhere, but the way of delivering and style of learning is varying and that variation  brings uniqueness in learning and if the any course has unique features, it not only provides ideas but also create enthusiasm to learn something. For me this course is unique and it energies   me to learn new ideas of using technology in teaching and learning field. Moreover I am very happy with our facilitator Robert who had managed our course very well. For that I would like to convey my sincere thank to Robert for helping us for entire course duration.

To sum up, of our class, it is the wonderful time for me; this course is the initial door, which helps me to open many doors in future. Previously, I say “yes technology is important” but now my way of thinking is changed and now I say “wow technology”.

 

Wow technology to open the new doors

Wow technology to energies me to be creative

Wow technology to help me to build the relationship with multi- cultural friends

Wow technology to encounter me with world

Wow technology to link me with innovative personalities

Wow technology to enhancing my knowledge

Wow technology to show me the multiple way of learning

Wow technology to make me to think differently

Wow….wow….wow what a wonderful time I have with you technology

You tied up me in such a way from where I never want to release.

And it is the lovely gift for me to stay with you forever.

Importance of Technology in Teaching and Learning


Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change
Stephen Hawking


As Hawkins, intelligent are those who can go with change.  As Hawkins’s I also believe that change is the rule of universe.  You may ask me why I use the word change. Yes absolutely, in our teaching and learning field also change is needed. We are often talking about the change in education field, but we are still using the same traditional way of teaching and learning mythology.  Especially, developing country like Nepal, it has still been difficult to utilized new way of technology since we are in the crawling phase.  These days some of the economically well educational intuitions has been introduced the technology in teaching and learning pedagogy, although I fully believe in future every educational intuition will adapt the new way of technology and methodology in teaching and learning arena.


Talking about my involvement in building teaching skills through interactive web class was precious for me. It is completely new kind of experience, which has help me to encounter with technological word.  Before joining in this class I just used web technology for searching some information and maintain the relationship between people. But after becoming the part of this course, I realized the new way of teaching and learning pedagogy.  


Technology plays the vital role in human life, we all are becoming the member of the technology family, in order that our basis need to maintain healthy relationship with this family, we just need to be curious and smart to use it properly so that it helps us to explore the new sphere   of knowledge and opportunity.
As being the learner  of interactive web technology, now I have built more confident that in coming days I will use different kinds of technology in teaching and learning fields and raise the awareness to others about importance of technology in teaching and learning field.


Try to see the new things roaming around you and when you see it, immediately adapt it if it helpful for you.

As like the above extract teaching and learning process goes on.  Teachers always  play the role of  facilitator, whenever the difficulties comes  teachers are ready to guide the students.

Talking about my Web skills  class, it was precious class for me. This week I have done lots of tasks. i wrote proposal , create an account in Anvill and create class in nicenet.org for my students. 

it has been eight weeks in Web skills class, within these days, i have been aware in many technological things related with teaching and learning. Technology really brings change in my personal and professional life. web technology has been helping me to improve my lapses guiding me to go further. 
these days whenever i need information, i first search in different search engine, and get the ideas from related  issue. 

thus, technology, has been part of my day to days activities.

Thank you
