Entry 10. Wrap Up , Outcomes of the Course.

Conclusion - wrap up

We’re now at the end of the course. We hope you found this course useful and you have a deeper understanding of this area.

Our aim was to give you useful resources for evaluation of educational practices and through participating in discussions and activities, have a practical outcome to help you implement these ideas into your practice and enhance your practice.

One of our main intents for this course was to build a community that goes beyond the course, where experience and knowledge can be shared.

Below is a list of all the extra resources (Want to know more? PDFs) listed in this module.

Learning outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of a course or program. In other words, learning outcomes identify what the learner will know and be able to do by the end of a course or program.

Entry 9. Pros and Cons of different social media applications.

If yo If you’re looking to start a debate, I suggest bringing up the issue of social media and whether or not it belongs in the classroom.

Parents, educators, students – everyone has an opinion, and it’s an interesting mix of individuals on both sides of the issue.

In our technology-saturated society, one could argue social media is already in our schools. Every day teachers battle to keep kids off their phones and focused on what’s happening in the classroom, and see social media as a distraction. On the other side of the debate, educators have embraced social media as a way to engage with students outside conventional teaching methods, recognizing that students raised on smartphones and laptops have developed very different learning styles from past generations.

ENTERY 8 .How useful , effectives are online self assessments.

With the end of the year setting in, you may be in the midst of assessment season. Or maybe you’re getting everything ready for your class assessments directly after the Christmas break. Setting up assessments can be a complicated and time consuming activity for teachers and trainers, so you may want to take a look at some different techniques which might make your life a little bit easier.
One way of changing up the way you administer your final tests or exams could be to use online assessments. You may already be making your students complete their course work online, or do required reading online, so why not let them complete assessments that way too?
There are lots of tools which means you can create online assessments, many of which are free depending on how many assessments you need to create, or how complex they are going to be, so it’s important to have a look around and see which tools you think would work best for your course content.
We take a look at how assessing your students online can save you a lot of time, and make a quite stressful time that little bit easier!.

Entry 7.The best project i made/ Presentation/ I made.

PowerPoint deserves credit for being straightforward and easy to use. Almost anyone, regardless of skill level, can quickly learn how to use the software and pull together a presentation.

But accessibility is just one factor you need in presentation software. To consistently create presentations that grab audiences’ attention, you’ll need software with greater functionality. An ideal program lets you easily create and display visually stunning presentations across devices at a cost that fits your budget.

Here are the main factors to consider when looking for great presentation software:

• Design library: It should offer a large number of templates, images, and other media to create your presentation.
• Features: Rather than just including standard slides, software should offer alternative formats to share presentation content and engage audiences.
• Shareability: For easy collaboration, users should be able to share presentations with other users and allow simultaneous editing.
• Simplicity: Most users aren’t design experts, so software should be simple enough for any person to use, regardless of their background.
• Cost: Find software that fits your budget so you can consistently create presentations.
• Compatibility: Most people and organizations use multiple devices, so choose software that’s compatible across devices in creating and displaying presentations.

Entry 6. My Test Taking Strategies.

Test Taking Strategies.

 Background Information on Test Taking Testing is probably the primary means of evaluating student performance in school. It also pervades other aspects of our lives: getting a driver's license, applying for a job, or gaining certification for a skill. Testing is also one of the primary causes of stress among students. One reason for this is inaccurate conceptions of what to expect on a test and how to prepare for an exam. In addition, many tests are less than perfect and don't always give an accurate assessment of student ability. Despite this, exams will probably continue to be the main method of student evaluation because they are relatively efficient and objective measures of student performance Tests may be scored in one of two ways Most students are familiar with scores based on how well one meets the requirements of explicit criteria. In this case, one's score has nothing to do with how well other students did on the test. Instead, one's score is based on his/her fulfillment of minimum requirements set forth by the grader. The grader will look for certain pieces of information, and perhaps how the information is organized, in the test answers; the test score is based on how many of these pieces of information the student put in his/her answer. An example of this type of scoring is driver's license tests. The second approach is based on norms, in which one's score depends on how other students did on the exam. Standardized tests are usually scored on this basis. Exam scores graded "on a curve" also fall into this category

Entry 5. Critical analaythis of online language learning resources.

   We are fully aware of the tremendous changes have been taking place in learning styles. One could have never imagined the book of learning might change the face to become ‘Facebook’ in just these years. Similarly, Twitter was something that birds did, subsequently; we never thought neither of these would be in hands of common people metamorphosing educational potential despite having their own strengths and drawbacks. In this paper, the study explores use and limitations of these applications. Broadly speaking, social learning in today’s curriculum in formal and non formal educational setting. This educational technology also provides important areas in course design added by some online learning tools for the learners. However, web-based learning into English classroom teaching is no way paradigm shift from what we are teaching at present. It is an added advantage. It is yet another trend of teaching in ESL classroom.

Entry 4. Am I slow or a faster reader ? Based on internet offered tests result.

Maybe I’m a slow reader too if two minutes is too long. People are all different—we aren’t robots. Some people are better athletes, others are better at math and science.

If you think you have reading issues and don’t like to read, look into vision therapy. My son never liked to read, nor did I. People told him to simply read more, but I knew how he felt and knew that reading more wouldn’t help him enjoy it more. We didn’t find out about visual therapy until he was 18 when an acquaintance told me that her daughter completed visual therapy and thereafter, couldn’t put down a book. My son’s eyes weren’t tracking well (he would re-read and have difficulty focusing on the lines), so he went to vision therapy where he did easy eye exercises and then at home did these every day for only 15 minutes. He is 21 and still needs to do exercises on a computer program for 15 minutes and it helps for the rest of the day. If he’d had vision therapy when he was a child, he would have overcome it without having to do maintenance. I was so disappointed that no teacher even mentioned vision therapy. His eyesight was 20/20, and that’s usually what people think of when people have reading issues. Vision therapy is very expensive but totally worth it but find a reputable one. You might be able to find programs online that are cheaper, being that it’s the appointments that cost so much.

I realized after that I had his same problem (I hated reading but it was never really obvious why—there were no floating letters or anything) but it wasn’t until age 40 where I got hooked on being on the computer every day for 10–12 hours that it trained my eyesight, like visual therapy, and my reading improved tremendously. I was able to realize this after we found visual therapy.

ENTRY 3. listening podcasts and applications.

 ListI spend the equivalent of a part-time job working at my computer or laptop, and that’s usually with audio turned on. On top of that, I have my cell phone almost everywhere with me and when I’m in the car; I usually plug it in and listen to the audio through my car’s speaker system.

What do I listen to? Podcasts.

Podcasts are free audio programs distributed over the Internet. You can download them and listen to them as you please, essentially creating a radio station focused entirely on the topics you want to listen to. There are podcasts out there covering almost any topic that you can imagine – and probably dozens of podcasts on that topic.

Because you can choose programs that match your interests and can swap programs in and out as you wish, it becomes much like having a customized radio station for yourself that you can even take with you wherever you go if you have a smartphone.

What are the basic things I need to know?

Podcasts really aren’t that different than any other kind of radio program. The only difference is that podcast creators distribute the episodes of their program over the Internet for everyone to listen to rather than using a traditional radio station.

Because podcasting is a very “do it yourself” format, podcasts vary greatly in quality. Some are recorded in professional studios, others in nice home studios with great microphones, and still others are recorded on a cell phone or with a simple cheap microphone. Some are hosted by people with great radio voices, while others are hosted by people who are excitedly nervous. I actually like this and consider it a feature; it’s really cool to listen to a podcast from someone who is doing it just because they love the topic they’re talking about.

How do people find interesting podcasts to listen to? Most of the time, people listen to podcasts using a podcast manager. A podcast manager is simply a piece of software that helps you find podcasts to listen to and keeps track of which podcast episodes you’ve listened to (and which ones you’ve haven’t). One feature that most podcast managers have is to simply listen to all of your unlistened podcast episodes.

Most of the time, people use their podcast manager software to find a new podcast and then they listen to an episode or two. If they like what they hear, they can usually subscribe to that podcast. What that means is that when a new episode of that podcast is released, that new episode appears almost immediately in your podcast manager so you can listen to it at your convenience.

Many popular programs already on the radio – particularly public radio programs – are also available in podcast form, so you can mix those in with other podcasts that don’t actually air on a radio station.

ENTRY 2. Strengths: My computer Strength and Weakness.

 Computer models can allow for quickly testing many different kinds of scenarios and conditions without needing to test all those possibilities in the real world. In fact there are some things that are infeasible to test in the real world.Weather modeling is a great example. We can’t really control the weather to any large extent, and attempts to do so would be expensive and likely unethical. Instead computer models are built up by studying historic data, and then refined as new data comes in, and as the model is used to make predictions that are then later verified.Weaknesses: Computer models are only as good as the data used to create them. And even if you end up with a really good computer model, it’s arguable that it would eliminate the need for practical testing. They can reduce the need, significantly even, but for computer models of events or systems that don’t have regular sources of data to verify against, you still need to expend resources on real life experiments to verify your model.Additionally really complex models may be restricted to only being able to run on super computing clusters, which may have limited availability. One also presumably needs people who know how to maintain and update the models as well.

Entry 1 . My First Impression and Expections of the University Classes,

My first impression when I went to this university was very positive.

  The person I spoke to just made me feel completely at home because he said when I started as a mature student and that’s what I wanted to hear.

He asked me about my experience so far and treated it as though it was something important, something worthwhile talking about and interesting and then he gave me chance to prove myself although I didn’t have the conventional qualifications, to prove myself by doing a written piece of writing which gave me access to the course.

Quite pleased because I felt I was intelligent enough to get onto a course, intelligent enough but not educated enough, I didn’t have the certificates to prove it and this was my chance to do so.

I've no way of knowing really to be honest

I’ve nothing really to compare it without I imagine that obviously with the engineering and those sort of sciences you do need to show that you’ve gone through the steps, yes I can imagine there would be the difference, yeah..

My course is like a general introduction to socio-economic, political, even psychological studies and as you go through from one year to the next you can concentrate more on the areas that you find you are interested in but you don’t regret having done other areas which you weren’t particularly fascinated by because it’s building blocks and you build on the last one before you go onto the next one.  I found it really hard work fitting - think fitting 6 subjects in one year is quite a lot to fit in.  It would be nice if it was just 5 perhaps but that’s life.  The deadlines are really hard work but I suppose you’ve got to have them so that’s okay.  I chose to study full-time so I can’t really complain.

I find the university itself a rather alienating environment.  In the library it is difficult to concentrate - there are always people chatting, letting doors bang and so on.  It’s mostly minor practical things like the long two bus journeys that I have and the fact that there ís nowhere to base yourself.  You can’t make yourself a coffee - you haven’t got a room of your own, not even a locker.  You have to carry everything there and back every day and pay 82p for a drink, like a shopper going round town.  You can’t find anywhere to have a nap if you’re tired and I love catnapping - it just revives me instantly.  Study rooms get really hot.  The food canteens are not as good as I’d expect but it's great - I could stay all day reading in the library – it’s a fantastic resource.

There ís just so much there - and I think of it as an archive - as time goes on the more and more, the older stuff gets more and more important - the fact that it’s still there because if you compare it for example with the internet there’s loads of stuff on the internet but it’s all pretty current.  The old stuff hasn’t necessarily been archived, it can just be switched off.

Lack of grass roots involvement, choices and accountability - altogether you are treated more like a consumer than a participant but with no customer services hotline.  You’ve very much following a series of chosen paths like levels in a computer game.  The choices are just which subjects, not fundamentals like where, when and how to study  - it’s not a democracy, it’s an institution.  It’s not what I’d expected coming from the voluntary sector where every organisation is run by a committee that the grass roots can contact and appeal to.  You can even put yourself forward to join the committees.  Student Union’s just not the same, to me that’s like being invited to be a critic in the audience, not to have a share in running the show.

           WHITE WITH RED

 A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at  the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room , there was a door with no number that locked and no was allowed in there . Especially no one should look inside the room , under any circumstances. So he followed  the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed.                                                                                                     

  The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle. Sure enough it was locked.  He bent down and looked through the wide keyhole. Cold air passed through it, chilling his eye. What he saw was a hotel bedroom, like his, and in the corner was a woman whose skin was completely white. She was leaning her head agains the wall, facing way. This disinclination saved his life . He crept away from the door and walked back to his room. The next day he returned to the door and looked through the wide keyhole . This time, all he saw was redness. he could not make anything out beside a distinct red color, unmoving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew he was spying the night before , and had blocked the keyhole with something red.                                                                                                                                          

 At this point he decided to consult the woman at the front desk for more informations. She sighed and said , '' Did you look through the keyhole '' The man told her that he had and she said , '' Well , I might as well tell you the story . A long time ago , a man murdered his wife in that room , and her ghost haunts it. But these people were not ordinary . They were white over, except for their eyes, which were RED. 

   In a dark night. The rain was pouring as a busket.  On the highway the car was flying as a  wind.  In the car about in her middle forties woman who is trying to wipe her tears which are following on her sincere pale skin.  In her mind, a single question was  existent , whether I catch up or whether I can see him once more.  Being busy with these thoughts , She reached  the hospital . When she entered throught the door, her eyes fell down the doctor who was wearing  a white uniform .  Her first word was '  am  I on time ' . She was breathing very deep even doctor was able to listen to her  breathing. Doctar got a pause and said Unfortunately, Unfortunately , he has just passed away.  Indeed his final and last word was MARY.  The woman turned back Suddenly , without any words she started going out fast.  Doc asked what happened.  The woman whispered with shivering tone I am SUSAN.
