The Show Has Started

  1. On Thursday, 2nd of February 2007, I met with group 1 at Lab (7 Center (1).When we started, half an hour late, we found that most of the computers were not working properly. I felt that it will not work! Then I moved to Plan B( I will tell later about it), which proved to be very useful and we went over how to introduce yourself part, how to move around in our YG with some screenshots provided. After that, we tried again to log on and it worked. I showed those who are already members to do the poll and add their data on the database section with those who did not join yet listening. After I finished from those, to my surprise, I found some students, like Elia, Salamaha and Ashraf were helping the others in logging in.Then everything went very smoothly.
    At the end, we took photos with my camera, agreed to speak as much English as we can when in the Lab asking for help.Everybody was happy
    !!!
    I am so glad that I started this group, hoping my smart students will be using it to improve their English language

Dear Hala and studennts: if Ibrahim
Rustanow can say "Salam Aleikum" that I think is like a salute, I´m going to say "Buenos días, Hala"
(Good morning) it is 9 A M.
Sommmetimes bad situations turn into good. If computers had been working right, maybe you had not done this wonderful blog. I see you have only 3 girls in the group. They do not want to study or
they can not? To the students: try to take advantage of your teacher. She loves teaching and always is eager to help people.

Your narration made me smile... so many experiences in common! I wish you the very best in "spreading the word" about the potential of new technologies when carefully integrated into the teaching-learning process...

All the best,

Dear Hala and students,
I love your blog and this post, because it is so authentic! It took me back in time with great experiences... and very similar "learning lessons".
I believe that we should always look at "glitches" in a positive way.
Keep up the great work! :-)
