Goals for 23 Things

Well, I have many goals in this program....

  • First of all, I hear words relating to wikis, vokis etc etc, but I really don't know what these are or how to use them in the classroom. So the first goal is learn all of the lingo!!

  • Most of all, I want to develop the skills to be able to develop motivating activities for students. I want to be able to link students with students in Japan and with the culture of contemporary Japan. The biggest problem I find is making language learning relevant and engaging for all students.
This all mainly relates to the following WACOT standards:
  • Standard 3.2: Teachers know and use the methodologies, resources and technologies which support learning the content, processes and skills they teach.
  • Standard 4: Teachers use a range of teaching practices and resources to engage students in effective learning.

So, these are my goals. I hope I get there!!!
