Webskills summer course.Reflection - week two.

Hi,
this week was very interesting for me.Lots of tasks,thoughts and readings. I like ABC writing objectives article.It's very clear and easy to read.I could write my Project objectives very fast with the help of this article. Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives are very helphul in setting the goals.
    I've added some optional readings to my Webskills summer course page.While learning on the on-line courses I found it easy to make some notes and post some usefull information on the topic on the blogpage.It's easy to get access to the resourses at anytime and refresh your thoughts.Also it's the best way to share my knowlege with my colleagues.

•     I've learnt a lot about Searching Engines.I could hardly imagine how many of them are existed nowadays.There are lots of them and I still exploring websites.
•    I like class description activity. It was very interesting to know about my colleagues classess all over the world.We have different conditions,access to technology and Internet but all of us teach English and do our work best.
•   I would like to thank all my course colleagues for sharing your experience and knowledge on the course.

My dear colleagues.

     To create a blog is not a new experience for me.But when I started doing it, I was very puzzeled:what to do and how to do. Besides I didn't have enough instructions, how to create a blog. If you look at the early pages,you can see that they were not ideal.I didn't know how to use fonts and shifts,how to insert links to the websites and so on.I hadn't changed my early pages,because they were my first steps in blogging.
    I use my blog for my continuing professional development.I started doing it being on EVO (Electronic village online) course.Later I used it for my Access students communication,but unfortunately I failed,because they didn't want to communicate with me via blog.They used vk.com site and concidered it more interesting for them.Also I use my blog for sharing  my teaching ideas with the teachers all over the world.When I present something on the teachers conferences,I publish my materials on the blog.You can see my previous experience.
   You can ask me ,what am I doing on this course?The answer is-I want to attract my students attention with the help of the blogs and hope this course will help me.
   I have already seen my course colleagues blogs.They are done in a very interesting style.Many of you are great writes and I will definetly learn some new things from you.

FEELTA 2016

Continual professional development (CPD) is very important for teachers. English language is a live changeable system and teachers need to learn a lot about it. Every teacher faces with a problem of continual professional development. From one hand, we have lots of teaching hours, but from the other hand we want to grow professionally. There are a lot of opportunities to grow professionally for teachers during their teaching careers. But sometimes it can be difficult to choose a course you need among lots of suggestions in the CPD area. On July,2,2016 I will give a presentation on this topic.It will be interesting for teachers who want to know about different ways of CPD on different stages of their teaching carrier. It reflects the nature of teacher development as a lifelong experience extending from initial training to throughout the whole teacher’s career, and represent the wide range of needs and contexts to which continuing professional development programmes respond. I will share my experience of teacher training on the British Council courses, speak about  free useful resources for professional development and  global EFL teachers community.

International Youth Forum model as a leadership skillbuilder.

Every year I organise an "International Youth forum" model for about 150 students of Nakhodka schools. It's a  big event at school for local students with internantional guests' invitation. Previous years it was called 'G8 model meeting",but last year we slightly changed the format. On this forum students choose a country,study its problems,make a presentation on the hot issues and discuss the solutions of the problems. The main goals of the event are to develop students' leadeship skills,to get involve them into discussion about global problems and  to find the way of solving these problems.Moreover this forum is held in English only and students have English language practiice all over the event. A lot of preparation students make in advance,they bring PPT presentation about the country,make flags,draw a poster with country information.They have a plenary session where they present a country and small groups sessions where they discussed topics with invited international guests.

You can watch links to have an idea about the event.

I think that teachers will be interested in my experience of organising the event and it will be very usefull for their students to think globally.
