Journal Response

Journal response

According to my experience in studding technology especially in 551,552, and 563, I have achieve a number of technological projects that I believe were helpful and beneficial to my students and also they were beneficial to me as a professional teacher. My students used the materials I offered in my web page, they also found it easy to communicate with me and receive feed back. In 551, I used the PowerPoint to give an example of level three lesson plan; also I designed a lesson plan about Arabic culture using the Microsoft publisher. Also I used the Microsoft office excels for students grading and I found it very helpful to follow up student’s performance and grading.
Course 552 helped me to design unit plan, lesson plan and projects for students to help them to know about Arabic culture, the students could navigate in different resources of in formation and communicate with each others and with teachers through technology.
In 563 I used more developed technological techniques; using the bog, wikis and web page. I am able to post the authentic materials for my students in my web site and use the rubrics for grading. The most important thing I can say about understanding the using technology in teaching is to control the use of technology by choosing the beneficial side of technology that can help to achieve the goals of education because technology is open and students are exposed to different features and entertainments and teachers should be aware of that. I choosed Google site because its free, easy and has different good feachers in addition to that it provide technical support; its very easy to access and I could my blogs and use G-mails. Google is helpfull and beneficial.
