WELCOME TO MY BLOG


Welcome to my Teaching English with ICTs blog. I have made this blog as part of my masters degree in secondary school teaching. I have learned a lot throughout this semester and I hope to put it into practice soon. 


The aim of this module is to learn how to use ICTs in the classroom and get our students using ICTs in an innovative and interactive way, making the learning process more student centered. 


Take a look through my blog to get some ideas on how to incorporate ICTs in the ESL classroom.



Signing up to MOOCs

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) has an infinite amount of courses available to anyone who wishes to sign up. In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions between students, professors, and teaching assistants.

MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance education which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012. 

I signed up to Coursera last year in November but I have not been able to complete any course yet. When I have more time I would like to do some courses on topics that I find interesting.
