Week 8: Teacher Resources Online



It's Week 8 and we were all busy writing our project report draft! They were done by Wednesday May 22nd and submitted to our partners. Now we are waiting for our partners to comment on our drafts. Honestly, I had to work around the clock this week, including the weekend. I had to attend Girls Guide Annual General Meeting at J.W. Marriott Kuala Lumpur for 4 days 3 nights. With all the work undone and meeting on the way, I managed to complete the report and did the task this week. I need to apologise to my partners for being a bit late in returning their project  report draft checklist and comments. Kayyum and Jurgita, if you are reading this, I am truly sorry but rest assured, I am working on it!

In this week as well, I learnt a lot of useful online tools. One of my favourite is HotPotatoes. I've downloaded this software to my computer and have even tried to use the tools such as JCloze (to create cloze passage), JMatch (to create matching exercise) and JCross (to make crossword puzzle). I love it! It definitely makes my life as a teacher easier. Before this, I've never made my own crossword puzzle. I did, but using Microsoft Word where I drew the boxes myself! That makes me so lazy to do exercises like that but now not anymore. I can use HotPotatoes. Thank you Robert for introducing me to such interesting tools.

I am definitely going to explore more on all the links provided by Robert and by my e-colleagues when I have free time later. As for now, let's get back to work.
