WEEK 4

     This week was full of new information. I've learnt a lot, i.e. how to differentiate"The Process approach and Product approach" in writing skills.

Next step was to search for new webskills websites, which can help in improving students' reading skills. I was excited when I came across with lots of multi-skills websites. Brilliant!

Another step was making technologically enhanced lesson plan, actually, I don't like planning, it's very time-consuming, but when I found out about ABCD Objectives, my life became easier. I've never thought that there might be another type of planning a lesson - technology based lesson plan, but I think it's very interesting one.

    This week I'd like to share some information about "Anki" program. The program is ideal for those who want to inhance students' lexis/vocabulary skills. Simply you should create decks (flashcards) for you Ss.
