Eye Opener

As I come to the end of e-teacher scholarship course, I can't help but wonder why I named my blog "Eye Opener". The ten weeks have opened my eyes more than I thought. It's not writing clear objectives, creating a blog, effective web searching, skill building websites, technology enhanced lesson plannning, project-based learning, WebQuests, rubrics, teaching large classes, using PowerPoint effectively, learner autonomy, one computer classroom and teacher resources on line, it's about Deborah and Sandra. Fantastic tutors!

My eyes have not only been open to a new learning experience but also a new life experience.What I have gone through for the past three weeks has opened my eyes to know people deeper, control my emotions and live one day at a time.Thanks to Deborah for assurance. Thanks to Roland for the concern.

I have had an experience of a life time through internet interactions. How would it be if it was live?I feel priviledged and honoured as the only representative of my country Kenya in this course. Thanks to the embassy in my country for nominating me.I have learnt that it takes a teacher and courage to break the norms and make learning an interesting experience for students, many a times we make it painful and boring.

My course mates have been wonderful people from other parts of the world. I will miss them.You would think we had met before. The ease with which they communicate just impresses me.The end has come but wait... it is the beginning of good things to come. Yes, the Eye Opener!
