It has been a pleasure......

Dearest MAET 3,Class of 2008,
We have finally come to the point where we all part and go our own ways after three wonderful summers in each others' company!
I would like to mention that my confidence and strength came from getting to know you and the tremendous support that you unhesitatingly gave me!
I have learnt to get over my fear of making mistakes and take risks...
Many of you have made an impact on me and I will continue to seek you out no matter where life takes us....our blog posts, facebook applications, Flickr downloads etc will keep us connected..and we can always pick up the threads of our friendship any time we want to!
To all my instructors,I am eternally grateful for your help and utmost patience!
I wish you good luck, health, wealth and happiness.....
May your dreams come true....and most of all, HAVE FAITH!!!!
God Bless!Take care!
Suhasini

My "reflections on practice" blog at wordpress......

Since I started working on my project way back in August 2007, I created a blog at wordpress.com. I plan to provide a link to that to ensure that all my planning is available at this current blog.

I have to organize the data I collected as I introduced my project to the students. The additional tools I wish to add to my "teaching the unit on Cells with as many Web 2.0 technologies as is possible" project are podcasts.
I also have to include photographs taken as students were busy learning all about cells and getting some practical work done as well.

The question that guided my TIP.

My project was undertaken to answer this question and other related questions:
"Will the use of varied technological tools help all students focus their attention to learning and retaining more information on the unit on cells ?"
Details about how I undertook the project and what information I gathered will be posted shortly!

The Curacao Tortuga is finally catching up....Suhasini's TIP

My project involves the use of technology in as many forms as is possible, to introduce cells and all related topics to my grade 11 students.
I intend to provide additional data on this project shortly.
