Webskills, Week-2: Reflections

I am teacher in Bangladesh Agricultuaural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. I teach mostly ESL/EFL foundation courses that include English Reading and Writing Skills, Listening skills and Speaking skills. I also take a course on Business English in a private university in Dhaka. In addition I take part-time classes in a collegiate school and teach English to students of Class ix to xii.

From this webskills course, I've greatly learned how to teach online. I've already instructed my university students to make individual blogs and post comments under the lessons that I publish in my blog. I've told them to comment on others blogs at least once a week and write whether they like the lessons and lectures in class. For the college students, I searched fairy tales and other stories through www.noodletools.com and found some interesting stories with pictures. I learned that there are many other search engines apart from google and advised my learners to search topics using variety of search engines.

I find this webskills course very interesting and challenging. Thanks Robert for your directions and guidelines.
