Hi. It has been long time since I could not write here. In the hostel where we live there are only 2 computers with internet and number of participants are 29, so you can imagine how long one should wait in a line for his turn to use PC.
Today 5 sightseeings to Delhi were amazing!
1. Bahai Temple or Lotus Temple. which I loved most of all. Apart it being very beautiful and accept all people wanted to pray regardless religious accessory that Temple is built in the shape of a lotus and my name is also means Lotus flower in Uzbek))
2. Kutub Minar which was built in 11 century and consists of several our ancestors' tombs as well.
3. Indira Gandhi Memorial. It is a place where she lived in the period of being the prime-minister together with son Rajive and his wife Sonia and son and daughter. We saw the clothes they wore, they were killed in; the prizes and presents and certificates presented by other countries presidents and prime-ministers. I have known a lot of facts I did not know before.
4. India Gate
5. Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (Gandhi Darshan)

WEEK 9 REFLECTION

This week we have to try different tools and implement them into our practice. Even though Deborah told us to work with one option but I would like to try them all and created both site for my students and nicenet class for teachers whom I train these days. In addition to these sites for collaboration we were given sites to create fun and intersting activities for our classes. I made several bingo games and an on-line crossword.

It gave me food for thought and I decided to create a survey for my teachers of ETTE project by British Council. I am still working on it and hope to publish a link to it after completing. Survey was another very useful tool for me as a teacher. What I really worry about is my project feed back and report...

WEEK 4 REFLECTION

"Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man." Francis Bacon DISCUSSION. This week was devoted to studying reading and writing improvement with the help of CALL. We have read several articles related to this topic. Here are links to some of them: http://www.udel.edu/ETL/RWN/Encourage.html This site provides with ideas of using TV, newspaper, telephone books, maps to stimulate reading Renee Ybarra in his article Using Technology to Help ESL/EFL Students Develop Language Skills(http://iteslj.org/Articles/Ybarra-Technology.html) says that first of all when students use e-mail writing they can see what a native speaker has written while answering, then scroll up and down through the message which is visually helps them. Students get self-motivated to write in a new for them way and to communicate with a real native speaker and get a real respond. Often, the students need to feel confident in their new language before putting it into print. So he...

This week was very fruitful for me as well as challenging. Youtube did not play well because of slow Internet connection and I had to ask my friends to download for me, what they did and sent me vie Skype. But it was a half of the problem as my computer did not play .flv format and I had to convert into another format to watch Jeopardy tutorial. But untill I did it I experimented and could manage at last with Jeopardy game. Here they are- 2 Jeopardy activities , 1 USA review, second one - Festival , what I was going to implement into my project. The first one I did using the ready template with hyperlinks inserted into each slide. As to Festival PPT I was really mine although it is very simple. No I know how to generate this game and other games of this kind. Another important point is choosing a partner for the project work. I offered Hamid to work together and he kindly agreed. I believe this tandem will be useful for both us. As to the discussion for this week "Interactive Pow...
