Web searching

I’ve learned a lot during week 1 that went smoothly with encouragement of our online instructor. It was a nice start to me. In fact, creating a blog was not a big deal at all. Blog is a useful tool that I can keep my friends in touch, share experience and knowledge or even personal matters. Discover this endless blogging world.

I feel more interested in this online course. The tasks follow step-by-step instructions which bring participants little difficulties creating or completing assignments.

Week 2 is now more interesting because the knowledge I’ve got from it is so wonderful and helpful. I’ve tried noodleTools which provides a variety of useful search engines. I’m exploring them and finding the most appropriate ones that I can apply to my teaching. For sure, I’m planning to take best advantage of these search engines to my class.

So great!

Back to Vietnam!

Wow! I'm back.
Coming back to Vietnam after spending 3 months living in Laos, I've felt myself more mature and independent. Laos is a country which is less developed than Vietnam but it has good point in that people are very friendly and gentle.

This is my first time I've been abroad, I get to know many friends who I've learned from a lot.

When I knew that I had a chance to join the online course "Building teaching skills through the interactive web", I was very happy but worried because the Internet access in Laos is rather slow and that I'm a new beginner at technology. However, with the help and encouragement of Robert - the online instructor, I now feel more confident and enjoy it. I'll do my best to learn and I'm willing to share with others.

Nice day!
