My kids are sick, my wife is not feeling well, my house became a hospital. Moreover, the internet connection throughout the week is very slow and it keeps breaking down. Everything reminds me of a famous proverb' Misfortune never comes alone!' Difficulties made me almost break down. Even I thought of quitting. I felt I could not do any task this week. Thank God, I could finally finish the assigned tasks, though I have made a little progress in project work. Still I feel panicked whether I could make it or not.
The PowerPoint gave me hard time. I was so confident in preparing it at the very beginning as I successfully made some interactive presentations before teachers and students.But now I could not manage enough time and the video I have incorporated in my presentation seems not working in all the laptops and why I still could not specify. It took from me long hours to get the solution on line. In the end, only time lost, no solution found.
In the project work I could not reach where I should be by now. The works so far done are as follows:
1) The complete outline of course materials I have already prepared to upload either in my blog or in my Schoology account. For this regard, I have scanned some materials, prepared some quizzes, listed linked I am goint to use, prepared rubrics, hand outs and organised them into 14 weeks( the duration of the course, Research Methodology, I am teaching and preparing materials for). Regarding the materials I already talked with my collegues to find out whether anything is missing or not. Upon their suggestions I made some changes also
2) I have prepared a plan with deadline to implement the change I am trying to make. My currrent students in research methodology course are half way through and already finished their midterm-exam. By the time we will finish this webskill course they will only resume their classes after midterm. So, they can't be active participants. Thats why I have decided to present a plan project. However, with some of the students and teachers I am planning to make a trial run of the course I have designed to see how it goes and what kind of hurdles and positives there are.
I have planned that the next two day I would finalise the complete organisation of course materials with necessary resources. And the next two days I have booked appointments with my teachers and students to implement the trial run with my course. So within these busy four days, if everything goes ok, I would get an impression on my course.
3) In order to understand plan project I have read the previous plan projects and printed out the templates to understand what to be done.
On the whole I must admit I unintentionally lagged behind this week and I don't know whether I can cover it up or not.
