An open letter to
Dear
Best wishes for
a Happy New Year. Thank you for giving us
OfficeMix, OneNote, Sway, and Skype Translator as New Year’s bonanza.
It helps me a
lot to make my lesson interesting and interactive. My students are also
enthusiastic about these. In the coming years, it will have lasting impact on
education. I joined the Partner in Learning
Network in 2013.
I did not have
the slightest idea what I would have in the coming year. In 2014, I participated
in
Being a member of your family, I discovered myself in a new
height. It enhanced my capacity to deepen my knowledge through the positive use
of technology. I attended all the
professional development programmes that came on my way to be an innovative
educator. Since then, I started using all the tools provided by Microsoft to
improve the learning of my students. I was amazed by the discovery how these
poor boys and girls have become the 21st century learners from the traditional
students learning by rote. The impact of changing teaching methodology gives
them the freedom to search and research the Net with Bing.
They accumulate
their findings with Words and Excel and present them with amateur
PowerPoint and Windows Movie Maker, and even dare to create Auto
Collage to test their skills in Digital Literacy. All the tools empower
my learners. My role from an authoritative master shifts to a friend of the
learners, a facilitator. They start to learn and create through collaboration.
With this another challenge emerges- the ownership of knowledge. I think this
will sure to unlock the door to creativity for them.
I feel proud to
be a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert -2015. You facilitate us with such
innovative tools and resources that make us go ahead of time. Having all the great
educators from the world around, you create a global platform for teachers. Being
a partner in learning, I have realized that my activity has global impact.
Every moment it pricks me to do something good and every moment it makes me
better. I wish our efforts and
activities will make the world a better place in the coming year.
