A Reflection of Week 2 (Webskills Class)

http://eghaeghooy.blogspot.com

As the reflection of Week 2 I can say that many things I did during this week. Firstly, I did Web Searching by trying many search engines suggested. It was a great experience for me to search many sites that I had not done before. Really a bunch of search engines, sites, and portals that I can visit to enrich my information related to my topics. I also asked my students to visit some and use them as their online references, because before this all of us usually visit Google or Yahoo as the familiar search engines. Now we have more and larger search engines (through noodletools) than before, after our instructor of Webskills UO AEI Fall 2013, Mr. Sean McClelland gave some information about the lists of valuable search engines). This can enhance our knowledge and enlarge our repertoires of websites. 
One of My Translation Classes
Secondly, I formulated some behavioral objectives of my Translation classes by using the ABCD model. It was a very impressive model I know, because it has a detail and systematic way of constructing one learning objective. Before knowing this model, I never made the learning objectives based on accurate steps. Now I know how to formulate a good learning objective by focusing on the students I teach (Audience), the students' capability as the expectation (Behavior), the teaching action given to the class whether it is a method, approach, or technique of teaching (Condition), and the students' mastery after the Condition (Degree). That was I did related to deriving the ABCD Model of Behavioral Objectives. It was a very interesting practice that I have known. Thirdly, I planned a Project Task for my Translation classes. I set a plan to teach Translation Studies through blogs. I designed a tutor blog for me to give my students an assignment to do and asked each of my students to have an academic blog as learner blogs. The tutor blog can be seen on http://duniaterjemah.com/ and the learner blogs can be visited on http://e-teachingweb.blogspot.com/ in the slot of the learner blogs. That is all I did related to the Project Task. Finally I say that the Week 2 assignment of Webskills program is very impressive, interesting, and important to keep and practice. Thanks.

  1. Hi Rudi,
    Greetings from Mohammad in Yemen. I have looked at your blog. It is very imperessive and looks great. I like the different icons that you have in your blog. By the way, does your blog make use of WordPress? If yes, then I would like you to tell me how to create such icons to the blog. Through your blog, I have been able to see your students in the classroom. It is a nice class! I wish you all the best.
    Peace and much respect.

    1. Hello Muhammad,
      Thanks for appreciating my blog. I use the Blogger (Blogspot.com) for my own blog. It is very simple to post some interesting icons or pictures. Open your new post through blogger dashboard, entitle it, browse a picture from your file in your computer or a downloaded picture. Then click insert picture in your dashboard, wait few minutes and select it. Your picture will be displayed in your post space, then you can write some texts. Finally you can publish your new posting. View your blog to check. Have a nice week 3. Thanks. Best regards. Rudi Hartono

    Hello Mohammad,

    Mohammad I do agree with you. When I look into Rudi blog, It brings me to keep going seeing his design and other information. He has a good experience in creating blog. Rudi May I know it as well. I am wondering how could you post information on the right bar with picture and they are coming out to home page.

    1. Hello Mak,
      Thanks for your appreciation. I hope you can do the best. It is easy to use a blog if we usually use it every day for our daily activity. I can inform you how to organize your blog by posting many interesting pictures, photos or other important information. Exactly you can use the information about making a blog given by Mr. Sean, our instructor. I may inform you it later how to manage your own blog. Have a nice Week 3. Thanks. Best regards. Rudi

  3. Hi Rudi,
    Your blog looks great congratulations, I wish I could add colors and pictures to mine, It was already difficult for me to create a simple blog. It's been a great achievement.

    Undoubtedly I benefit greatly from the task of this week. The course has already been rewarding.

    The other personal project I'm ooking forward to is designing a tutor blog exactly like you did and start implementing web skills to teach writing.
    This is going to be my first exercise in applying what I'm learning. I hope my students will welcome the idea.

    Wish you good luck

  7. Dear Dr. Ashok Kumar,
    Thanks for appreciating on my blog, Sir. Exactly it is just because of my duty in managing and organizing my classes in my university. I usually use blogs for doing interactive communications with my own students, especially for giving them assignments and doing a feedback in the form of comments. I think you can also do the best. Thanks.
