The OER MOOC Story

As there was much fuss about the MOOCs, I decided to join TWO MOOCs: one is the ELT Vocabulary MOOC & the OER MOOC. Teaching is receptive to new ideas and engaging in online discussions with gurus and professionals in the field let me explore & implement new things in my context to revamp my teaching skills & meet my students' needs. Teaching in its core is learning.

One thing I learned from the OER MOOC is using the learning tool "SlideShare" to share presentations. I could do that through embedding a PPP in my blog about what I learned from the TCCP I finished last August:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/170073728/TESOL-Teaching-Skills-4-the-EFL-Classroom

I haven't implemented all that I learned through the course, but the best is yet to come with the beginning of the school year this week.

The OER knowledge was imparted perfectly and my teaching improved with Google Docs, Popplet, About search engine & website, and others.

Thanks to the OER MOOC tree, I find myself on the right track with all that any teacher needs to perform his/her work adequately. Through the OER MOOC, teachers have access to free templates, videos, animations, images, courses, software, games, fairuse guidelines, podcasts, social media, e-books & textbooks. They have everything ready to facilitate their work & their students’ learning.
