Week 02 – The ABCD Learning Objectives Framework and Effective Web Searching (Reflection 2)

In this module, I had chance to learn about the search engines and the ABCD objectives framework, both of which are really useful and necessary for my English teaching activities.



At first, we were required to read some materials suggested by Ms. Lan Huong about web searching, then we had a discussion task on Canvas to share effective websites that we know, I myself have been using Slide Share, BBC.com, You Tobe, Busyteacher,..And now, thanks to my classmates’ sharing I can know more effective websites and I found many of them really helpful such as Microsoft Bing, Google Scholar, Twinkl.com, Bamboozle etc. Surely, I will soon apply them into my teaching activities in the future.



Next, I entered canvas and read about “Writing learning Objectives” and joined the lesson on Zoom with our teacher and class. We were required to write Class Description and ABCD Objectives for a specific teaching unit then share with group members in breakout Zoom. We took notes then shared our product. Each of us had different ideas and struggled to make clear everything. For me, I found this part quite confusing and tricky.

And when we came back to share on Zoom with teacher and class, listening to other groups’ sharing and some feedback from the teacher for each group, I knew that our group members misunderstood a little bit about the ABCD objectives. However, at the end of the lesson we could understand it well.

Journal: What’s Next with AI?

  The Future of AI in Teaching: A Personal Perspective Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing education in ways we never imagined. As a teacher, I’ve seen technology transform how we teach and learn, and AI is taking this even further. Based on the 2024 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report and my own experience, I see both immediate and long-term effects of AI in education. While AI offers exciting possibilities, it also brings challenges that we must handle carefully. AI’s Impact in the Near Future (2 – 5 years) In the short term, AI will be a helpful assistant, not a replacement for teachers. AI tools can take over tasks like grading, giving instant feedback, and creating lesson plans. This allows teachers to focus more on engaging with students and personalizing learning. AI can also identify learning patterns and provide tailored support, making education more accessible for everyone. However, as AI becomes more common, we need to use it responsibly. The Horizon Report points out ...

Reflection on Final Project

Teaching and learning is an process that require the interaction between a teacher and students. With the development of the technology, this process will surely be affected in the future. For teachers, teaching with technology can deepen students’ learning by supporting instructional objectives. Whereas, students can already learn from their own even without the assistance of their parents and teachers. They are just going to surf the internet in order to look for the lessons they need to study. They will choose what they want to learn. Quick accessibility and well-equipped with the skills and knowledge in operating a computer would be very helpful for the students. Besides, since there are lots of creative images, videos and other graphics and texts that may be found on the Internet, more students would feel the excitement in studying through the use of the technological gadgets. This is very important in order to arouse students’ interest in studying and to help them promote ...

Reflection Week 05 - Project based Learning and Rubrics

Image
  Last week I learned Module 05: Project-based Learning and Rubrics which is one of the most interesting and meaningful modules to me as through the knowledge of this module, I have found one more useful way to evaluate my students – using Rubric! During the week I had read required document sent on Canvas by my lecture – Ms Lan Hường then I joined the Discussion forum to read and discuss with my class members about the topic “Assessment, rubric and project-based learning”. Next, I joined the RubiStar to create a rubric for an oral presentation. On the class meeting session on Zoom with my lecture, I share with my group members and listen to their sharing about the applying Rubric in our teaching lessons. At last, as usual when we back to the main Zoom sharing, we had chance to listen to many amazing ideas from other groups’ moderators and the lecturer. One of the issue that I am really impressed is the validity and credibility of using Rubric to evaluate students., We are nea...
