Week 4.. Technology Integration!
As I proceed with the E-teacher Webskills course, I feel that step by step, and week after the other my teaching repertoire is augmenting and developing to the better. Acquiring more knowledge about new teaching techniques and how to use technology as a medium for teaching English language, I witness a great success in my lessons and classes observed through the students' behavior and interaction in the class. I am happy to say that using technology really spiced my classes up! 
In this forth week, the concentration was on reading and writing skills plus teaching vocabulary. All the members went through different websites after reading various articles supplied by the website. The discussion for this week comprehended sharing the websites that we find useful and specifying the level of students with which it would work. It was really a beneficial discussion where all the members shared the websites that they found useful in teaching reading, writing and vocabulary. 
An interesting statement that I liked through the readings of this week says that: "The teacher's wide computer expertise and his active role both before and during the online classes are the most crucial keys to the success of lessons". Thus the task for this week was to provide a Technology enhance lesson plan- a lesson plan that integrates technology as a medium for teaching. This part was the most important and interesting one, as we are exposed to the way we can integrate technology into our lessons and classes through reading the tips and articles in the course's website. Our projects for this week went a step forward. All the members in the course had to specify the main problems in the courses that they teach which can be solved through using technology. We all provided a one-sentence statement that summarizes the problems.
Having exposed to all these topics, this week was such a great success!
