Really i was very impressed thought the last session with Dr. Joyanne as i finally recognized that the technology can turn any difficult lesson to an easy lesson if it is well used in the timing and also the type.
I thank really Dr. Joyanne that she showed us the way how to improve our self in our work and i know that this is still the beginning of the way.

Hello everybody,
That's my second blog. I became more satisfied to do such work. But I still have some fears drom the course. You all know that we as teachers don't have much time. I wish we would cooperate to get through every task. I find Dr. Joyanne very helpful. She is ready to help us. This gives me some relaxation. And also I find all my colleague very active and experienced

According to Marc Prensky he is confused which is more difficult to learn a new stuff or learning new ways to do old stuff. My opinion it is harder to learn new ways to do old stuff that learning a new stuff because when you learn anything it stuck in your mind the first thing and it is harder to change your old way and you need to be persisting and patient as this stuff needs to keep on doing it in the new way till you get used to the new way so that we can do it naturally. 
Dear Dr. Joyanne, 

According to me reflection of Sunday session i think i know now that i am on the right track as i always felt that i have something missing in my way of teaching only want someone to guide me.

Then thing which made me try to make any change after i read a small story called "who moved my cheese?" i was fond of the debate in the end of the story. The different opinion of every one makes a different as two was arguing about that we should change our job or career and the other was saying we should changer our way in doing our work and this what i was fond of and give me the push to start.

I always knew that we should use technology inside the classroom and sometime we use it in my school but not most often as we have to see the schedule of the multimedia.

i hope that i will be much better after  i finish this course with your help, enshallah

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Now i understood what is the missing link between our generation and our students or our children generation. I can see why they are always can't believe what we are saying like wait till i check the help icon in a new program to see how it works or when i buy a new cell phone and of course i cant use it till i know every button do what see look to me as if i am  insane  creature in front of them.
I liked what Dr. Bruce D. Perry of Baylor College of Medicine says   “Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures" It showed us like this digital natives generation experienced they can deal with those situation in a different way from us, I think they are like us with our parents they looked to us the same look as we are not doing anything right they feel panic from using the cells phone don't mention the computers.
I understand now that we should change our strategies of  teaching and our methods because those old way of teaching can't cope with those students they need something relevant to their environment, surrounding and  their way of thinking.
