W oh! week 2, you taught me Web searching.

This week has been quite different than the previous one. I have not been as traumatic as I was before in week 1. The reason might be that I am quite familiar with the course, my course mates and  instructor Donna. But, obviously, it’s quite hectic this week and it’s very difficult to complete the task in stipulated time. I have been trying my best not to miss the week 2 deadline. Anyway, I am done after this blog post.

This week is quite phenomenal as I came to know some of my course mates quite closely; and the interesting fact is, I have developed a close rapport with some. This week, I went into all my course mates blog, I was amazed looking  the blog of vinaya and Sonia. How they managed to make such an interesting blog?  So far Pamella’s post, I wished I could write like hers. Dev, oh, my god! He has marvelous poetic sense.  My admiration goes to all my friends for your quaint sense at your disposal. I can say I am learning so many things from you.

When I have a glance back to week 2, I can recollect the profound excitement of knowing scores of search engines and ABCD model. To some extent, I was quite familiar with ABCD model before, since I have been using this model while making lesson plan. But, web searching?  The experience was quaint and extraordinary. I did not imagine before that there are scores of search engines other than Google at our disposal. It’s really amazing!  I wish I had known them before. To be honest; among those search engines, my first impression goes to “I seek Education”. It’s safe, authoritative, intelligent and time saving. Last but not the least , it was week 2 project task #1, where we were supposed to describe our students- population and class room setting. This task has been helping me to revisit the uncharted parts of my  teaching and learning; and explore the possible way to make it more effective.  

Finally, I am thankful to webskills week 2, it has given me a lot of pleasant surprises. At last, I must thank Donna; you gave space to my missed assignment.
