Great - We start (Week 1)
Here we go!! I haven't read all the articles yet, but after following your comments on Nicenet, I thought to start with introducing you to my "bulb" and the reasons I am so excited to be on this course.
I am a happily married (most of the time :) ) for about twenty years and a mother of three gifted children. Two of them are also gifted with ADHD (I wonder where did they get if from?! :) ) and other learning difficulties.
In the course of the years I have found that technology is a great help in coping with gifts such as the above. As I mostly teach students/pupils with learning difficulties I try to encourage them to embrace technology for their benefit. Unfortunately, I do not have enough expertise and the resources our school have for technology is rather poor. Most of the pupils, however, do have computers a home.
As I find it easier to learn and concentrate in front of the computer too, I hope to be able to apply the ideas and techniques I will be learning here.
Good luck to all of you and - Robert, thank you very much for your patience help and persistance.

Hello! Nice to meet you here! I guess it is very nice to be the mother of three children and it adds you more happiness when you realize that they are gifted also! My name is Perizat. I am from Kazakhstan. I am married also))) But I have no children yet. But I wish to have soon.
ReplyDeleteAs for our subject, I can't help admitting that computers may help in teaching and coping with some difficulties. I presume you have made the right choice when you decided to take exactly this course, as it is for those who have no enough experience in technology application in the classroom. As for me, I consider I am rather good in computers but this course will give me technological advance. I believe we will have to apply everything what Robert and his team teach us.
Wish you best
Perizat
Thanks Peri - All the best and good luck!!!
