Dear all my colleagues ,it was of a great pleasure to see ourselves struggling to achieve our final goals in this race of using technology in teaching. It was beneficial to see different ways of presentation that is totally different from ours  even if we don't appeal some of them, we should appreciate that these ways as they  have their implication and educational effects on their students. We spent about three months listening, trying new tools, doing mistakes and asking each  other, sending emails and expressing opinions ,sharing information and ideas through blogs. All this was under the wise supervision of Dr Joy. She followed a very good method of guiding her students to work together in an integrated and indirect way  without giving direct instructions,  in a very delicate and smooth way.She is considerable,gracious and thoughtful when she excused any of us who has a difficult circumstance. She was generous to hear all of us doing our presentation without interrupting our performance although we  exceeded the limited time. We should thank her for all her efforts and wish her a wonderful life

  1. Thank you for your kind and gracious words. I am so thrilled to have met you and all the other members of the group. Who could have ever imagined that our lives would intersect? Who can imagine where the connections we have made will take us? But we do have these wonderful memories to look back on. Thank You!

      all the wonderful memories time which we will never forget. I think whenever we write our blogs,or podcast something or use the turnitin or the blackboard, we will remember that you are the pioneer in directing us to these tools of technology.

    1. Of course Bassant Dr Joyanne affected us emotionally first, and this assert that love makes miracles. Teachers should begin by establishing good relationship with their students before introducing their subjects. This increases their predisposition for learning.

    1. You are almost welcome Elham, we are friends and we nearly have the same opinions.We worked hard and we will continue learning and never stop to look behind again. Whenever we achieve one goal, we will seek a new one as man can't live without an aim wants to get or hopes to achieve. It's life!

  5. I totally agree with Mervat. Thanks to Dr. Joy we have become what we are now. Better understanding of integrating technology with the curriculum. She was also able to create that harmony among people who met each other for the first time in just ten weeks.

    1. This is the gains of a talented and well-educated teacher. I think not every teacher can create this harmony unless he or she is the maestro who followed a well-written musical note as well as directing and guiding the musicians well.
