a very inspiring and motivating class both emotionally and academicaly as i had also answered to the question 'what do you expect from this class', that i would like to learn to use new gadgets (including the Smart Board) to make my teaching more interesting an accomodative for my students in the future. it was also the first time i am actually seeing a Smart Board. which we have envisioned, to use when teaching in the future.
did some reading over our freetime today, and eventually came across an article written by a fellow acedemic on the benefits of blogging to students. apprently, she has used the blogging method to encourage her/his students to write on anything ranging from their opinions to firing discussions, provided they write in full sentence (no short forms) and of course with no foul language or violent firing, involved. (Ref to this article - Modern English Teacher, April 2004, 'Using weblogs to encourage English language' by Michael Vallance. Very inspiring. will use this a method to improve my English as well. so, Dr. Maznah, your idea of blogging will certainly lead us to better and more interesting path, of improving our usage of English'

Glad that you enjoyed the class as much as I have enjoyed getting to know the group. Thank you for sharing the reading. If you have the link it would be better to cut and paste it in your text, for easy access to the article.
See you next week.
