Web Searching and Learning Objectives (Week 2)

Hello,

This week we had some very interesting tasks in our course. First, I learned how to search for information for our classes using different search engines. To be honest, I had been using only Google to get the information I needed. Now I know that I can have access to different sites depending on what information I am looking for my classes. I can also share these information with my students and colleagues in my institution. I am sure they will be surprised to know that there are more specialized sites depending on their needs.


The second task this week was on learning objectives. We learned how to write clear objectives using the ABCD method. I found this method easier than the one we are using in my institution. It can be an alternative way for us to write objectives and I will propose it to the other teachers. Guess what? Next week I will have the opportunity to share it with my teaching practicum class because the students asked me to give them some extra practice on writing objectives. I am looking forward to hearing their comments on the ABCD method.

I also want to thank my colleagues and the instructors in this course for the valuable information and reflections. I am learning a lot from all of the comments you post.
