Personal Recounts!

with 2 comments

Today, my class will be seeing this entry as we embark on something entirely new – Personal Recounts! And as we move along into Personal Recounts, they will have to maintain a blog until the end of National Day, to blog about their daily lives, to recount about their daily lives, and perhaps – add that personal reflection into their blog entries, for me to be able to see that they are learning as they blog.

Who said blogging cannot be used meaningfully as a learning tool? Kids learn plenty from blogging these days – they learn about cyberbullying (and not to do so), they learn how to phrase their sentences better (instead of using euuu lurbeee moiii – I forewarn you against using such terms!), and they learn so many more things. It’s near impossible for me to detail down every single learning lesson.

From the stand point of a teacher, it will be baby steps for me to learn how to infuse ICT into lessons, for me to use ICT meaningfully and for the students who are digital natives to interact with their teacher outside the classroom, and take learning out of the school walls. Learning opportunities are everywhere, its how we make use of them.

The number of blogs I have is ballooning I know – and my friends are having a tough time keeping up with the number of blogs I have. (:

In the meantime, I’ll be blogging about the takeaways that students should have after each and every English lesson – did you learn them today too?

If you run dry of material to blog, why not recount the English lessons that I have with you each week?
