Education,technology and Bangladesh

The need to develop closer link among education, technology and Bangladesh has been a growing concern in the educational programs as well as the term” digital Bangladesh”. Only bookish knowledge can not develop a country, to make a dynamic, vibrant and cohesive nation, need to provides it’s people with adequate skill and more purposeful life. In our country, where the vast majority of the lives in the darkness of illiteracy, particularly in rural areas, how can we expect development. On other hand education system of most of the development counties are advance than us and they do not provide only bookish knowledge but also use technology in the field of education.

 Education in it’s real sense is not confined to mere schooling. I think true education provides assistance to live a life properly and perfectly. Moreover a true education aims at harmonious development of all the faculties and powers of man-physical, intellectual and aesthetic.

How to open a wiki page.....

 Last week i have tried to open a wiki page.Finally i can open it.Now i am describing how one can open his/her wiki page:

1-Think a new topic which is(seems to you) absent in Wikipedia.

                                                                                                                                                                    

2-Go www.wikspace.com

3-Open an ID in Wikipedia.

.4-there is an option-"Joint Wikipedia" and click there.(fill up some information-user name,password,mail)

5-Now goes to the-www.wikipedia.org and chose "English language" and click there.

6-Sign In and put his/her user name and password.

7-There is a search option and he/she has to write down his/her topic there and wiki authority show whether this article is there or not. If not one start her/his writing.

8-He/she get a page to write his article and there are some options as well for decorating the article.

9-He/she have to add external links and references. (an another option beside the link option named "Cite" by which he/she can give references as the sources of the article).

Before publishing you can see your own page by clicking on"see preview" and finally click "save" option for creating wiki page.

the week make me weak.....

I am going to face a stressful week.Eid is coming and Ramadan is going on.This year Ramadan is taking place during summer,with extremely long days.I know after all we have to complete our academic education and so on.But time management become very difficult when lots of work put together.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can stress kill u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Last class(Use of technology in ELT),i thought we have no work.Sir gave us a clear idea on wiki page as most of we are face problem and a new lesson.I felt very stress free but at the end of the class my stress free mood is flickering.In the we familier with two new things-Hotpotatos and pod casting.As Sir showed us,both seems interesting to me though i never use those.There are some students those who are very with these but there are also some students like me whenever use those.So we need time otherwise we may do it as we have to finish course task but we can not learn properly.Still most the students can not open wiki page properly,me too.
In this class i got lots of tasks-
1.write my class reflection in the blog within 12-7-14(morning)
2.write the steps which i folledwed to open wiki page within tomorrow
3.make podcast trough audacity software
4.make some activities by following hot potatoes
5.select a topic for final project
6.article reading for presentation(others)
7.article reading and make group presentation and also make quiz on that.
This tasks of one course and i have other three courses as well.I have teaching session on Thursday,a written assignment by tomorrow,a quiz on Thursday.

 I am thinking how i can finish all these things.is it possible within a short time!!!! Where i am not familiar with audacity and recording system,background sounds etc.Yes,may be i can explore it but some time is needed.In the class we just watch video but we should learn it more practically.If we do it one or two time in the class,we can do it within short time.
Now try to be stress free and try to do theses.I have to complete the course and I believe Sir will help us to do all theses things smoothly.

ELT leadership and Manegment

At the very first class of this course (ELT leadership and management) i bcame bore.I could not understand anything and after the i hear same thing from many student of this class.So i was frustrate.But the whole scenario has changed in the second class in a dramatic way. Now i think,among four courses(i took)this one is most favorite to me.This course has taken by honorable Rino wiseman Adhikary and i feel enthusiastic.We are doing TESOL and this course a little far from our destination.But sir makes it very close to our destination.Most impotant thing is that sir is always inspire us and he belive we people can do something.So we also try our level best.Sir also help us outside of the class time and he take tutorial class which is very helpful for us.He gives us extra time before exam and we can share our problem regarding exam syllabus.We finshed one quize and one formal presentation of this course.All of students more or less happy as they said.I also happy.This course helps us to maintain and lead a organization.After finishing TESOL if we want to open a ELT organization,i think we can it constructively.

We do not learn only about leadership but management.We are learning management of ELT and how managing people in ELT organization. There are some new terms to me.At first it seems very hard to me but sir gives a clear idea and makes it understandable. Finally i think this course will help us conceptualize English language teaching as situated within an organization-the organizational management of ELT and the organizational leadership of ELT

First Written Exam at BRAC University

Examination are almost always stressful.This is first written exam at BRAC University and course name is- syllabus, material, design and evaluation.Though i had some idea about it but a little anxiety is going on.We also make group study before exam.Our honorable course instructor-Hamidur Rhaman has given us notes,handouts which are related with exam. I try to be relax and study.Then i have participated in the exam.I try to finish my exam smoothly.Though it is not good experience but i feel relax to think that-i have finished one exam........

Learning new things is joy forever........

Wikipedia-free to read,free to write and free to edit. We can start a wiki about anything we want. A wiki allows us to discuss something that's important to us, while at the same time getting opinions and information from other people that visit our wiki.Use of technology in ELT-we have learned many things which are regarding technology in the field of ELT.In accordance with,now we are learning how to open a wiki page and write there.At very first class about wiki page,we learn through group chating and article reading which provides by our course instructor.Then our course instructor told us to open a wiki page and we can select our own topic.

This is the first time i was going to open wiki page and several challenges i had to face. I thought it is easy task like i open a ID,then a page come and i write there :p. But reality was opposite.First i read some article from google which seems unclear to me.i opened a id but i wrote in the sandbox.at that time i did know about sandbox.Then i asked one of my TESOL mate,she gives me link and i try follow that but i fail.i started my own journey.i found a article in the google-how to open a new wiki page and read that. Then i understood somthing and strat my wiki journey. I wrote about my college as a draft because I had seen two of my peer write and after sometimes their wiki pages are invisible.So I wrote briefly weather  my one become visible or invisible.Finally i could write something and it visible. I tried to draw a table and add some photos but i fail.

First of all this project increase our thinking skill and creativity also.We have to think about our topic and information.Then reading and writing skill.We have to read different articles for collecting information and jot down those.Then we have to write to complete wiki page process.There are some video clips about steps of wiki page which increase listing skill also.
This experience will help me to use technology in teaching English.I hope i learn more about this from our course instructor.Writing wikipedia is more difficult than writing bolg.Still i can not text citation,use hyperlinks,add photos but i am trying to learn it.

Still i can not open a well decorate wiki page but my pleasant is- now i know how to open a wiki page and write there.My achievement is i know the writing process of a wiki page.Especial thanks goes on to our course instructor.If he does not give us this task may be i never try to do this.Learning new things is joy forever........
