Organisation and Collecting Information for the Website

 8th Week - Organisation and Collecting Information for the Website

Hi all! This week we focused on the organization and outline of the timeline. As we have limited time and a lot of work to do, it is crucial to design the path beforehand to have a realistic plan and outcome. I hope, we as a team are good at this, we'll see. 

We discussed how to share the topics to be searched, written, and edited to be uploaded on the website. To share the topics properly and discuss what each of them is related to, we did some general research on our topic. This also helped each of us find which sub-topic of technology use in language learning we are most interested in. At the end of the week, we did a video call together and decided on how and when to take the next steps. Unexpectedly, we couldn't share some topics (possible drawbacks and issues; suggestions and solutions for them) easily, as they require more time and dedication. They are also the most important and the most intertwined topic with all other topics. That's why we decided to work on them collectively and after the finals.

In the next two weeks, we will search our own topics and send any information to another teammate if the information is helpful and related to theirs. After the first week, we will give feedback to each others' literature reviews. We are also planning to have a catch-up meeting with our instructor. 

Day by day, I feel closer to our goal and it feels more realistic. I can picture our website on my mind :) I feel a bit worried but excited. 

See you, los amo chicos!

Easy way to learn! Online Courses

Hola Learnivores! I have been interested in online courses recently. Then I said to myself, why don't I share this with my Learnivores? With those courses, you don't necessarily have to go somewhere or sometimes even pay. The websites have a range of courses from coding to drawing and I have finished one on photography. Some of the websites' courses are accredited so you can have your certificate and add it on your cv etc. Here are some of them: https://www.coursera.org/ https://www.edx.org/ https://www.udacity.com/ https://www.udemy.com/ . Here is my certificate on Photography Fundamentals for Beginners from Udemy:

Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language

Last week, my friends from the ELT department and I started taking online courses as part of a research study I mentioned earlier ( click here to see ).  We are supposed to write reflections every week after our sessions on our blogs. I also believe it makes the experience more permanent. 1 st Week - 07.11.2020 Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language Firstly, we defined critical thinking. I had basic prior knowledge about what critical thinking was related to. However, after I did the pre-readings and take the test sent, it became more concrete in my mind. Starting the session, the trainer directed some questions about critical thinking, we discussed the questions as groups of four and everyone had their own duty in the group. Then, we shared what we discussed. I’ve learned that critical thinking is an important skill for people to organize their thoughts in a systematic way, find reliable sources of information, express themselves better. We defined strong and...
