Week 2 - SE and LO

It is high time to confess that I had had ambiguous feelings towards the web skills online course.

I had been eager to learn how to use techniques more productively, on the other hand I had had questions relating my abilities, knowledge, and other factors needed to fulfill assignments and meet requirements. Besides I had been afraid of myself too, knowing that I tend to get not only confused at the beginning of any field to be explored containing immense information to digest. 

But after the 2 weeks I feel in another way round. Due to the precisely planned and guided instructions, let alone the delicate manner how Robert conveys his instructions and suggestions, I only see the bright sides of   all these challenges I am taking.

Turning to the readings and tasks for this week, I read the handouts, which brought me safety to understand the tasks and get ideas how to use the SEs more sensibly and consequently, more easily. I think the useful links both in the handouts and those of my e-colleagues provided require more time to be able to get to know them and to use them effectively.

Writing objectives in ADCD style was again an “increment” of the course for me as I have never encountered with the six levels of learning in the context of pre-lesson statement of intended students achievements. My belief that it is important to clarify objectives at each phase of the teaching/learning process with the consideration of the categories of learning outcomes and the six levels of learning has been reinforced. Its contribution to a successful learning process cannot be overestimated.

I have no doubts that introducing my target class for the final project was a thoughtful task as well. Beside thinking about the questions in he handout, which was a helpful clue again, I thought about how lucky our students’ generation is meeting the flexible system of the education offered by technology-based instruction. Then I said to myself restating so am I hence I am experiencing the benefits of learning Interactive Web myself.

The constant and immediate feedbacks from Robert have also contributed to my increasing confidence and feeling “safe” being part of this course.
