Exploring ICT in TESOL: First Session - 17th Jan 2025



I am confident in my choice of this module, as I am keen on developing games in education to make the learning process easier and more enjoyable for my learners.


Last Friday, we kicked off the ICT in TESOL module (Information and Communication Technology). Our professor discussed blogging and noted that, despite its effectiveness, many people have moved away from it. She elaborated on the benefits of blogging.


To my surprise, I discovered that blogging is not as difficult as I initially thought; in fact, it consists of super easy steps! I’m enthusiastic about learning more about incorporating games and technology into teaching.


I took this photo of the classroom, where all the tables were full of laptops and eager learners who chose this module.


Are you as excited as I am about these possibilities, fellow teachers?

    Hi Nermen, You have quickly understood that blogging is informal and personal! Your first post is chatty and informative about the module, a bit like a diary. That is what many people used to use their blogs for. I was expecting to see your review of the blogger that you investigated in class, but never mind. The main thing is that you have got started and showed your own opinion in your own voice. You already seem to have a following with three comments - great! In your future posts make sure that each one looks in depth at one tool or technology, embedding content that you have made yourself as much as possible. I'm glad you're excited to be doing this module - I look forward to reading your future posts! Enjoy the blogging experience!

    Nowadays people lack expressing their thoughts through writing as we used to do before.
    It was like a trend to write about everyday events and kind of a commitment for teenagers. It would develop to be a hobby of writing novels or short stories.
    Now, people tend to use fewer words and more symbols.

      I can't agree more.
      It's good for developing their writing skills and expressing their feelings as well.

    I also think that blogging is a great resource! Looking forward to learning more about applying online teaching resources, because so far I have only been using Kahoot, and my students are getting a bit too familiar with it.😁

    I got really excited, just like you, to learn more about this module. The idea of integrating games and technology into education is wonderful, as it makes the learning process more enjoyable and effective—especially for young learners.

    It’s great that you found out blogging is easier than you expected! I think many of us hesitate at first, but once we get started and see how simple the steps are, we become even more enthusiastic.

    Wishing you the best of luck on your journey with this unique module, and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you about the applications and ideas you’ll be exploring! 😊

Lyrics Training: Third Session - February 6th, 2025

Image
In our recent lecture, we explored ten amazing teaching tools, and I'm so excited to share my experience with one that's particularly close to my heart: Lyrics Training ! Back in 2020, when I started a new job, my life was incredibly hectic. I'd wake up, pack my lunch, head to school to teach (yes, I'm a teacher!), and then go to the language centre to teach English courses. Then,  bam - suddenly, while doing aerobics, I broke my foot – a fifth metatarsal fracture, also known as a Jones fracture (named after Sir Robert Jones, a British surgeon), or even a dancer's fracture because ballet dancers often get it! In a nutshell, my life took a turn for the worse. I was stuck in bed, unable to move my foot and constantly needing help from my family. I kept asking myself: what could I do? How could I enjoy my time? Then, out of nowhere, I started using Lyrics Training to practice songs! The cool thing is that it offers three different ways to learn: 'write mode,...

Goodbye Game: Adventures Outside the Classroom! (March 22, 2025) 🌸

Image
Hey everyone! 👋 Remember that crazy-fun "SimpleShow Video Maker" post? Well, buckle up, because I have another story for you! This one's all about our Goodbye Game from our eighth session - a hilariously memorable experience to celebrate the end of Term 2 (Fri March 7th). Instead of the usual lecture, our awesome professor decided to shake things up and take us outside for a game! She divided us into groups and sent us on a scavenger hunt adventure , armed with instructions on Nearpod. Our destination: Rootes! But getting there was half the fun... Strange Requests and Social Anxiety! Let me tell you, the requests on Nearpod were... interesting! 🤣 We had to listen to a specific song, watch a random video, and THEN... head to the supermarket! The instructions for the supermarket were wild. We had to: •  Take a photo with a supermarket employee! •  Count the number of people working there! •  Take a photo of a tool they use for their job! So, naturally, I took the initiat...
