So, another busy week. Week 7. The topics were learners' autonomy (+teacher's one) and one comp classroom..I read all articles and skimmed discussions on the above, and found out that autonomy topic was more discussed. But it was mainly framed with increasing autonomy (i.e freedom) of teaching methods/strategies and growing necessity of self-teaching/self-evaluating for learners ( i.e. self-study or what?). Second topic articles and discussion covered 'survival' matter and advice of how to teach with one in-class computer...Sure, offline.Hmmmm...
To tell the truth, I'm a bit at a loss for such topics choice for this week...Hope next week ones will be more technology-driven and valuable, sorry...
As for peer choice, I would prefer our course mentor to appoint anybody herself as I respect all course participants and will appreciate their kind attention to my project.
I'm also sorry but I won't create any special lesson for 1-comp class as I'm not sure to have a comp in-class at all. It is not so important. Anyway, my PPT sample interactive (week6) could be an add-on to such lesson ( or I will print out slides).
Kind
Irina

Dear Irina! I found for myself that it is very interesting to think about different options of using one-computer classroom and the classroom with 27 computers (as in my school, because I use these different opportunities to provide a lesson to my students. They like varieties :)) With these approaches we can think how create a lesson plan that is appropriate for the specific purposes, develop critical thinking and learner autonomy. We are close to the end of writing our project/ plan. I will love to read your project/plan! Have a great weekend! Natalia
Dear Irina! Thank you for your post on my blog! I respect your great experience! I am happy to learn at this course from our readings and assignments, and especially from my colleagues. For sure, I will enjoy looking through your project/plan. If you want me I can comment it and peer-assess by our Checklist for Plan. Thank you! Have a good Day! Natalia
