I guess I made it to my blogging area safe and sound. I'm working since ever to reach here, and post my very first blog ever, however the process was a bit overlapping. I'm overly joyous for being able to contact my soon-to-be classmates.
Long I wanted to start something new, and here came the chance to do something which I love in the company of so many cultivated minds. This is my first blog yes, and I feel taking a picture with it and posting it on the fridge door (and the family album),because it really felt like a journey to reach here and post this, that it deserves the regal attire on the fridge door. Well fellow mates, you have to bear my sense of humor, for I'm a very serious and organized person in life, nevertheless my sense of humor gets over everything when I start writing.
Tomorrow is week 1,and I have no clue what to expect other than what dear Robert has posted us generously for the past five days. It is said that we can blog our thoughts, assumptions, comments, or even connect with our fellow classmates, but sorry I can't find any of those to share currently. I'm just overwhelmed to meet so many new people that share the same commitment.
I plunged into education and teaching following my mom's advice reluctantly, a while later though,when I started the act of teaching, I realized I was molded to do this, to be a teacher. I just explain, teach, and talk endlessly to my students about literature, and language, and cultures, and the wealth we gain every time we read or utter a word, or even listen intentionally. Teaching for me is beyond the rough codes of semantics and syntax, beyond the conventional ordinance of literature. It's a lifestyle. My teaching is a way of life, and I teach my students how to live through language, through the art of language. However, in this lifestyle, draws very significant constituents which are the tech-based skills. Here I reach to the common ground that we all assemble for.Taking this course will surely reinforce and furnish our knowledge of web based teaching skills, adding more innovative tools and materials which will,on its turn, assist our students to apply, practice, and better understand the 'lifestyle' of learning English interactively.
As we say in Lebanon 'yalla '(come on!) guys gather up, and let's do this...Excited to catch you all very soon.
Hi Eugenie
ReplyDeleteWonderful start. I like the dual layout and the background colors. Very cool. I saw the word "Ugeen" at the top. Is that a variation of the spelling of "Eugenie?"
Robert
Eugenie,
ReplyDeleteI could feel your enthusiasm many miles away here sitting in my room in Uzbekistan! I share your feelings about the course and hope we can share our experience too.
Best,
Shahnoza
thanks for your comments our dear advisor and mates. As for Robert I'm pleased that you liked the layout and background,well at first I found it too bright and funky,but since we're heading for severe winter in Lebanon, I focused on the colors more to keep us in the positive,active vibe,wishing it did't look unprofessional. well about Ugeen, it's another variation of my name in the sense that everybody calls me Ugeen(especially my students) because in English my name is pronounced 'Ugeenie',nevertheless my name is purely French 'Eugenie' containing all the vowels and difficult pronunciation of the French Language.
ReplyDeleteAs for Shahnoza, I'm really thrilled you can sense my enthusiasm and excitement, well what can we offer to our web class or even our own classes if we're not enthusiastic and over-joyous all the time!! catch you soon!
