The Classroom - A Global Village
Teaching today is no longer confined to a particular type of student genre, the textbooks or the system. With the use of technology, the world is becoming smaller, close at hand and easily accessible. So, we may say that, the classroom is a 'Global Village'.
Emails, blogs, Facebook, wiki, twitter....there are many more which provide us access to various teaching tools.

Keeping so many things in mind, the teacher need to be constantly using technology in class.
My knowledge in this area is limited, but I have immense enthusiasm to learn and make use of them in my classrooms. I believe that "Education made us what we are" - so I keep learning...and learning...

Hi Paramita,
ReplyDeleteThis web skills training has brought many language teachers in one forum to exchange our experiences about teaching learning activities. This is a very good thing for us to get to know each other and share our idea. I feel same as all my mates . Hope assistance in coming days mutually.

Dear Paramita,
ReplyDeleteYou have exactly mentioned that classroom is 'Global Village' learning extends beyond horizon and rightly mentioned that good teacher always finds and creates better situation for learning. Even if there are thousands of tools available online but if it is not properly graded and guided, the internet can be a big hazard in the classroom. Therefore, teachers' role is vital.
I have also posted about a web 2.0 tool in my blog as you were interested and suggested about blended classroom in response to your reply. Please have a look at it, it might be useful.
Thanking you
