This has been yet another week of acquiring new as well as
enhancing my knowledge of existing web skills. I knew what to “bookmark” meant
but didn’t know that whatever page I bookmark I can later access it online from
any computer as long as I save it on my online bookmarking account. So this
time I learned how to create an online bookmarking account using Delicious. After creating this account, I
shared it with my class on the class wiki and I was also able to access my
fellow participants’ bookmarked sites. As I did this, I remembered my previous
article titled “The Obvious isn’t Obvious”. This is because while I learned
that I could create an online bookmarking account, some people already had
existing accounts. I was therefore not surprised to see my Instructor
Courtney’s over 190 shared links on her delicious https://delicious.com/cbcunningham.
It was amazing to practically log in from another computer with a different
server and access my bookmarked links online! I concluded that this bookmarking
site was indeed delicious just like its name suggests. My site can be accessed
at https://delicious.com/domaya .
Reading about teaching aural/oral skills was yet another task that exposed me to multiple online resources. These resources had video, audio and text uploads online.The diversity of online resources to help both learners and teachers to develop aural/oral skills was amazing!

I also got to read different project reports written by former participants, in order to choose one to discuss what each person liked most . This gave me a glimpse of the direction I am taking as far as this course is concerned. As I explore new things each week, I cannot hesitate to say the journey continues.

Hello Daniel,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I also enjoyed this week learning about the new tools available online, all the resources to develop oral and listening skills. It is amazing the amount of resources that are out there and we do not know. Actually, knowledge makes us powerful and facilitates our job as teachers.
For me Delicious is really interesting, I was how to use it and as soon as I started exploring it, I can say that now I love it.
