Presentation





=== I have created this wiki page for the Call course requirement. All my progress throughout the course LaLi-274 Call is included in my wiki page. At the first session of this course, I realized that this course is based on technology so it would be very demanding and it would needed a lot of preparation. I thought that the course will be very boring because I don’t really like using technology. However, after the second lesson, I change my mind and I approached the course from a different perspective. I found the assignments of the course very interesting and actually I learned a lot from them and above all I enjoyed the process of making every given task. ===


===These are a few of the things that I would like to show you in order to perceive the knowledge, skills and experiences that I have gained during the Call course: ===

=== · First of all,  I have learned what a Wiki is but also I have learned how to create my own wiki. I never believed that one day I would create my own website and I would feel excited about this because as I have mentioned before I don’t really enjoy using technology. Now, not only I have created my own wiki page but I have also discovered that it is very easy to create one. Also, I have learned how to add videos, audios, images and music something that personally has excited me because before this course I didn’t know that you can do so many things with technology. ===

=== ·  Secondly,  I have learned to evaluate internet activities that focus on listening, grammar, speaking, vocabulary, reading and writing skills. These CALL sessions were very useful for me because I have learned many different ways which I can use in my teaching as a future teacher. In my point of view, ** internet activities ** **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: purple; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">motivate the students and they easily grasp students’ attention. In other words, a **<span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 14pt; color: purple; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: purple; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">lesson which includes these kinds of activities can become effective and entertaining for students and teachers. **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: purple; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Through this assessment, I have learned to identify the advantages and the disadvantages of these activities. <span style="display: block; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: purple; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> [|Annotated Review] ===

I ** n my point of view, a thematic unit is a helpful way of organising our thoughts and ideas. <span style="display: block; font-size: 14pt; color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: center;">[|Thematic Online Unit] === <span style="display: block; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="display: block; font-size: 150%; color: #ff00f2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: center;">However, the two tasks that I believe will be valuable in my future career as a teacher and I also found very enjoyable are: and the Use of Voki in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and the Evaluation Portfolio.

The Use of Voki in Teaching English as a Foreign Language **
 * I gained a lot from this task because I have learned that this web **  **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Voki is not a useful tool only for students but also for teachers. ** ** A Voki can create new ways for teachers who want to get their students 'talking' in a fun and engaging way. ****<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Instructors can use a voki to introduce the course or topics. It can also be used to aid in teaching those who are more audio/visual learners. Voki is also a great way to get shy students involved or to share comments with students in other countries. **

The Evaluation Portfolio: ** [|Evaluation Portfolio] === <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In addition, ****<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EL; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">I have to mention, that in this course except of learning new things which I am going to use as a future teacher, I had a great time because it is fun working with technology. ** === <span style="display: block; font-size: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: center;"> [|My Personal Page]
 * <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: fuchsia; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This task was a group work between Andria, Chrysostomos and I. I found this task very appealing as I also learned how to use positive language in the evaluation of the students. **
