In the last three days, we were very happy and we like the school and now we are waiting for next semester to go to school.

Because of the national day celebreation and the party that the school going to do it in thersday, so we were helping the teachers decorating the school and organizing the students by observing them.

Also, we met the principal and we told her about creating the CD for English subject and she agreed. But the English teacher was absent so she gave us her phone number.

I think that this school is the best school because it is very organized and all the teachers were very happy when we observed there classes. Also, I saw different teaching styles and different methods to motivate the students. Moreover, I notice that most of the teachers are aware of integrating the technology in learning environments because the technology motivate the students and improve their performance.

Today was wonderful and busy day; because we were working and we did many things. It was unusual day for us and for the school.

We start the day by observing the assembly with grade 5 students and the principal asked us to be with this group. Then all the members in the school went outside to do an assembly in front of Ministry of labour. Were lots of people were observing the assembly, police officers, officers from the ministry and others were watching the national day celebration, 

where the students were dancing, singing and telling poems. It was really very nice and I enjoyed that but I was very nervous because it is the first time to me to do

an assembly outside the school.

These are some pictures from the students activities.

Also, we supervise grade 1 students – boys, I was very happy, because they were asking me about how to write my name and they were telling me stories about themselves and about their families. It was nice and I enjoyed my time.

After that I observed two classes; math class with grade 4 students and an English class with grade 1 student. The first one was a math class and we were invited to observe this class with others teachers from the Musheirf school and other schools. It was an excellent class because we never saw this technology and materials used in math class when we were a students and when we observed the math class in different school in our work placement.

This day was the busiest day in our work placement.

First we want to tell you that we worked in this post together because we feel board from writing the reflections every day.

Moving to more important things, today we did nothing that is related to the college's work because we feel that what we have done already is enough. We also feel that we are a burden to the school because we do not do any thing for the school. So, we decided to help the school, so we supervisor two classes in grade one. The first class was with boys and we gave the students activities that the teacher asked us to do and we had a little chat with the boys. The second class was with the girls and it was the same but we observed the firs part of the class where the teacher was explaining the lesson. Also, starting from yesterday most of the teachers and members in the school are very busy as they prepare the students for the national day celebration and in the next few days we hope that we can help them.

We think that helping the teachers and the staff made us feel that we are a part of the school system.

I liked the science class because I was reviewing what I learnt in school and answer the some questions. After the class with had a discussion with the science teacher about how to control the students behavior and how is it important?.

Moreover, we gave the teachers the new questionnaire that we did.

Hi all,

I arrived the school very early and Fatma was late this time. We talked with the vice principal about observing classes. So, she spoke with two teachers; the Arabic teacher who teach boys grade 4, we observed the class and we saw how she used technology and her relationship with the students. It was a nice class and I enjoyed observing it, the last ten minutes of the class, the teacher had to leave because she had a meeting and she asked us to complete the game that she was play it with the students, so we did that and we enjoyed it and the boys were very quit. However, the second class we observed was with grade 4 girls in math class and the girls were very noisy but they were motivated and they played different games with each others to learn math.

The blog posted by (http://twitter.com/sparklinks ), it is about woices website (http://woices.com/basics ), this website used to record voice and share the record with others.

I think that this website very useful to share what others learns. This way might be better some of people who do not like to read but they learn more by listening. So it will be great website to join and create groups and share information with others.         

This blog posted by (http://twitter.com/sparklinks ) the post is about the educational website for kids to learn more about the letters (http://www.meddybemps.com/letterary/index.html ). This website helps the students or learner in younger age or who start learn writing to know how to write a letter in capital and small and the way of writing the letter.

I think that this website will be very effective for the English teachers who teach the young learners because it shows the students the way of writing the letters in very organized and clear writing. Also the students can play different games where they can have fun with learning different thing about letters.

This blog posted by sparlinks (http://twitter.com/sparklinks ), this post is a bout a search engine website called sputter (http://www.sputtr.com/ ). This website has different links for search engines. For instance google, snap, Technorati search, Blinklist search, Reddit search and many others and that enable the users to variety their sources. Sputtr websiteis very easy and simple to use, also it is very fast and it well organized so it is easy on the eyes.

I believe that Sputtr search engine is very effective because it gives and shows the users different and variety of search engine. Also, it is very fast so, it saves the users' time as the searching take a long time. In addition Sputtr give more opportunity for the users to look and search for further information.    

I found the free web conferencing service from a website done by zaidlearn (http://twitter.com/zaidlearn ), this website (http://zaidlearn.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-learning-tool-for-every-learning.html ) includes a link for about 150 free learning tool.

The tool that I have chosen to post about is DimDim service (http://www.dimdim.com/products/what_is_dimdim.html ). This service is about meeting online with other people using webcam. The user can share the desktop, files, chat and talk with other and collaborate with others without downloading.

I think that this service would work very well with e-learning and distance learning. Because this tool allow the users to meet with each other and work togethet online and they can discuss and chat with others which is make it very easy for the user to use.
