Changing the name of my blogger !!!!

from the first moment that I wanted to return back to my activity on my blogger, I remembered the activities we did with Dr.Joy in the class. so I decided to change my blogger name from TCHG504 to " Thinking out of the box" as I realised that this blogger is not belonging to a specific course it is belonging to critical thinking. as we are reflecting on each session which make us think deeper and deeper about what we are learning and how we are going to pass it to our students.How to make them enjoy it and get out with the AHA moments as Dr.Joy always do with us.

What motivate teachers is more than money.

Keep trying all the time

Nonstop uploading this was my situation for the last few days dealing with technology as it is a great important thing but it is sophisticated also. This course I passed through many new skills which add much to all of us let me mention the most important ones for me:
 1) My dear blogger.
2)Tunitin.
3)AucBB.
4)Movie.
5)You-tube uploading.
6)Skype session.
7)dropbox.
All of them very useful at the beginning they drove me crazy  but after i managed how to use i like
i do like technology.Add to that our new experiment in virtual learning we had a nice session yesterday it was quick but concentrated  and direct to the point I  enjoyed it, waiting for my doctor feedback because finally I was able to send her my video.

thank you

Thanks to Dr.Joyanne who made me calm on the presentation day I was about to cry and go back home before I reached the session. I couldn't say a word because if I start to speak I will cry actually I did the next day as I met my friends at the line in  the morning I couldn't save it any more I start crying then back to work as I entered my first class it was just a memory.That is the teacher as we agreed before leave your own problems outside the class.

Our Presentation Day

Last Tuesday is going to be a mixed memories day for me I had a very hard day at the first I had a very hectic day at my school then I lost half of the videos for my presentation suddenly I found them corrupted. I have nothing to do this was after my school day and i have to start the journey to the auc add to this that my laptop stopped and was unable to start i did tenth of calls trying to find somebody to repair it before 5 pm and it was about 4 pm imagine my situation add to this me and Noha spent about 2.5 hrs to reach our session. I lost the original movie I was going to represent and I replaced the lost videos with another one I was really taken by it but it is a little bit long which didn't meet my doctor's opinion. Again I have to start my movie from scratch finally I finished and I am really happy with it.
It is much better than the one I lost what makes me love to death right now that after all of that work and got the hard copy in my hand only TODAY I found the lost video hidden in a neglecting folder I never imagined it is in there with such a strange name that is why i couldn't find it.
But the truth that I was happy with my colleagues presentations  there was a variety of such a creative work well done for all of you.
For me I believe it now WE LEARN BY DOING these are my doctor's words i learned how to do a movie that was a great challenge,how to adjust the music ,how to save it  and many things i still want to learn this is amazing thanks to my friends who taught me (Marwa & Maram).
I liked the prezi presentation that Rasha did  and this is my next lesson inshaallah to learn.
