Another week went by!Phew! It was a stress. Last week I thought I settled down but this week I felt different!
The first mail from Sean this week was enough to unsettle me. The project outline given there made me thinking all the time. I am still in a puzzle how to frame the project, whether I could finish it or not. I know it will continue until I submit it.
Between my project thoughts and this week's reading I really struggled to make a link. The readings covered articles on reading, writing and grammar, but my project focus is developing research skill. The articles and the related websites are very interesting and the ideas such as extensive reading with e-books and writing development through email, web pages and class blogs are fascinating and surely I would try them in my context.
The Nicenet discussion threads posed a problem for me. The initial post by Sean regarding the discussion on reading, writing and grammar didn't say anything about articles. It says to explore links of the tech-tools, websites given and comment on their suitability in my context and also to add an ABCD style objective for the link/website/ tool I feel appropriate for my learners. I was not sure whether the discussion should include my comments on the articles I read or not. Eventually I decided to incorporate them.
The technology inspired lesson plan was time consuming and proved nerve breaking for me. Preparing assessment criterion, organizing activities with allotment of time, mentioning expected outcomes,etc. all these in a single go was challenging. When it was finally finished, there were a sense of relief, a sense of achievement, and also a sense of satisfaction. It will definitely help me to step forward with my project.
The last task was on finding issues that I want to address in my project with technology.
So we are gradually preparing ourselves and heading towards our final project submission.
Overall, this week is exhausting for me!

Sorry you were struggling with the instructions this week. I will make sure they are more clear in the coming weeks.
