WEEK 16


     Well, this week was also useful for me because I learnt two tools web 2.0 technologies for applying in the classroom such as; Edmodo and Nicenet. I think these are the most important tools that we can use, and also the k 12 lesson plans is important to teach English. I would like to give a brief explanation of Edmodo; this tool is a social network built for use by teachers and students for use in the classroom. Also, it provides a way for teachers and students to share their opinions, comments, links, files, and notes. In addition, this would be used for weekly discussion topics that would be relate to class. for example, every Friday my students will have a reflection type day, they can post  what they learnt about during the week,  also parents can help their sons, and at the end of the year, students can see their the progress and how much they have improved. Furthermore, the Nicenet is too similar like Edmodo because it too offers communication among class groups or for subjects. This page is reliable for us .One example for this tool is teacher can provide their students with reading materials they have to read and they will be able to participate in discussion forums is a good activity.
    In conclusion, these tools are reliable and very helpful for teacher and students. Teachers can make many activities on these pages are very fruitful in their lessons and students will gain more knowledge, it is good reinforcement in their studies.
