Week Two Motivation

 Dear all,

           Talking about my class and conditions made me little sad but I never lose motivation and the latter is my cup of tea. I say always to my students the motivated learners and teacher are not those who don't have any kind of problem but those who have serious problems but still face them and learn.this principle makes me eager to learn and improve myself and skills waiting for the day of change. I started to make change in my teaching practice, I couldn't work on the conditions, materials  and the setting so I shifted my focus to my lesson plans, teaching strategies, references and activities. One of my favourite sayings :  "if your learning setting or environment doesn't motivate you, motivate yourself"   for that I try always to be updated and to inform my students and colleagues about new technologies and findings as I believe that little is better than nothing.



 

Now I go back to week 2 beginning,

I appreciate the ABCD objectives approach and it is my first time that I read about it though I read many articles about writing learning objectives and outcomes. However, I recommend a few articles  that I read since 2010 about types of objectives, Bloom's taxonomy and smart objectives.
