I can hardly believe that I am on the verge of completing the course. It seems yesterday we kicked off the course.
The project work is mentally absorbing. I could rarely sleep last couple of days. I lagged behind earlier so I had to struggle to catch up. Even I messed up with deadline. I though it was 12 pm, fortunately I noticed at the last hour that it was not. Rather it was 11.59 am to be precise.
The important lesson I have learnt that one should not think big. I tried to prepare a complete course. It turned out to be a mountainous task that seems not to finish. I could have opted for a simple technological change. Life could have been easier!
This week we also read about Multiple intelligence. The reading makes us more motivated to incorporate innovation in our teaching practice so that we can reach diverse learners.
I should make a folder for all the resources, tools, blogs we have been introduced and used here. I wonder whether time will allow me or not. I should ask Sean how long we can get access to the materials.
I wish all the tasks I completed go right!
Dear Md Eftekhar,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that we should not think lot but try some action. Thinking much may cause anxiety and increase the hope and dreaming toward perfection. we should all go back to the say that says: "done or finished is better than perfect" because the good work comes through trial and error, comes with action, with learning then then evaluating and planning again. The learning cycle starts with planning and planning is a part of action where thinking is not the whole of it but just the starting point. So I say action, action then action. In a classroom setting, we should try to make change whatever the situation and circumstances are.

Hi Eftekhar,
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry that you missed the deadline. You also said that we should not think big. Well, it might be true in some cases. However, if we have a proper plan and go step by step, we can surely achieve it. I wish you all the best in your teaching.
Regards,
