WEEK 8, ANOTHER BUSIEST HURDLE RACE!!

Allah, the almighty has taken a great examination of my passions & endurance!!  I am grateful to Allah & all my friends who pray for my husband  for his speedy recovery. Alhamdulillah, he is moving towards recovery gradually,

This week is also a hurdle race to me as I am also in the hospital now. I know, I could not have got excellent marks & appreciation but I am trying to move with the  curse by any hook or crook. I am dying to learn everything though I can not manage all.

yes, I have uploaded my draft of plan & I have taken part in the nicenet discussion on using technology. Its really amazing that I have been successful to make a class in nicenet & I got a personal key, wow!! I am charmed!!

I have read some of the articles & visited some sites which all are very effective for our students.

I am worried, I do not know, whether I can finish the course smoothly or not!! Its not easy to use laptop in the hospital beside the patient but I am doing it through my mobile light as all lights are off in the room.

Overall, this week is too a busy week & it gives me a lot information which I did not know earlier.

Thank you all & stay blessed.....

WEEK 7, ANOTHER WORRIED WEEK!!

Still I am going in a very worried condition. My Husband, since 28 April, he has been suffering from severe Cardiac problem which now needs Open Heart Surgery!!!

I know, Life is too tough to lead but it is really too harsh to live!!! My all kids (4) are fasting for their Dad's soon recovery. Next 19 May is his Surgery date. Please PRAY for him. Dr. has found 6 blocks in his Heart as 80-90% are 4 & dominating & 40-50% are`non-dominating.

You know all, what a fate!! I got promotion in my Profession as an Assistant Professor but I didn't enjoy due to husband's condition.

This week is really a week of all important readings & articles which I didn't read clearly but I got some more ideas on all effective issues on Learner Autonomy.

I have also painted the wall on Padlet.com which really wonderful & I did it first in my life.

I am really upset & don't try to share` much. PLease, Pray for my husband.

Thanks to all.

WEEK 6, A GREAT STRIDE AHEAD!!!

I didn't post anything in week 6 as I was awfully busy with my Husband in the hospital for his better treatment. I went to Dhaka United Hospital for his Ngeogram & Dr. has found 6 blocks in his heart.

 I was shocked & thundered. I have failed to write anything in Blog whether my own life Blog has been going to write by the Almighty very crucially!!!

I am so tired & exhausted!!!

Please, pray for his getting well soon.

WEEK 5: A BATTLE BETWEEN MYSELF & NEW QUEST IN TEACHING-LEARNING

Another great week with lots of tasks & assignments!!

But Alas!!  It is a great matter of sorrow that in the very beginning of the week, on Sunday evening, my husband has got a mild heart attack (MI) & hospitalized in Critical Coronary Unit (CCU) which after four days treatment, again turned to a major stroke (Shock) on Thursday & doctors has given him treatment on Life support Medicines & instruments. In the meantime, in the hospital, I have done the tasks of Ist half of the week very hurriedly with lots of anxieties.

Alhamdulliah, now, today he is a little bit well but he needs NGEOGRAM for next treatment. I don’t know what a stress I had & have to endure and pass a great tough day!!
This week was also full of reading materials & tasks on the great expected PBL (Project Based Learning), Web Quest, Create Rubrics, Project task with new technology & finally post the all reflections on Blog page.

The reading article on Assessing Learning about Alternative Assessment is very helpful & effective for both teachers & students. Alternative assessment uses activities that reveal what students can do with language, emphasizing their strengths instead of their weaknesses.

Alternative assessment instruments are not only designed and structured differently from traditional tests, but are also graded or scored differently. Because alternative assessment is performance based, it helps instructors emphasize that the point of language learning is communication for meaningful purposes. They involve interaction between assessor (instructor, peers, self) and person assessed. They allow for self-evaluation and self-correction as they proceed.

To be honest, even though the project-based learning is definitely an approach, teachers should implement for the sake of students to learn by researching, understanding & so on, it is really a great treasure of learning by using technology.

I’ve created two rubrics on Web site Design & (http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&rubric_id=2318336&)  on Oral Debate (http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&rubric_id=2318348&) in rubistar link & finally added the URL to the wiki rubric page. Both are wonderful & effective.

Any how, I can’t share more today. I have to stop & I will try to do better in future.

Please, Pray for my husband’s getting well soon.
