Creating my own reflective blog is a new and worthy experience. I'm used to practising reflective teaching, but not reflective blogging. Although I receive Arabic and English blogger links through my email, I haven't thought about creating one before. Going through that real experience makes me unique.
I learned about a new technology tool that can facilitate my work with students in many ways: sharing links, stories, images, quotes, idioms, proverbs, visual grammar, mind maps, translation activities and the like. My students can build their own blogs to assess their own learning, find out their mistakes and errors and work on them to improve.
Thanks to the UO and the E-Teacher helpful team, I could improve my knowledge, use a new and an interesting technology tool and change my attitude.

Hello Safaa- Indeed, blogs can be useful for many different pedagogical purposes. I think having a real reason to keep a blog helps "force you" to master the tool. Hope you enjoy working with it! -Robert

Hi Bernie,

Hello Abdel Bakhri,
