Hi Abdesalam,
Did you view the video before you sent these sentences? You did send them early. If not please do view the video and let us know if you have any changes.
Warm regards,
Diane

Dear Diane,
I have not watched the video, but I have checked for Wordle in the internet, there is an option, which suggests creating your Wordle. Then I chose the sentences that I have written. I got my Wordle. Later, I post its link.
Then, is it our comments and thoughts of our reading that we should put in the template of Wordle that we should post?
Should we post these comments of the video and thoughts of our reading of IMAGINE, together with the link?
Thanks
Abdesalam

Dear Abdesalam,
We will create a wordle with everyone's description of iEARN. You will see it next week after everyone has viewed the video and written their descriptions. I know you will like to see the group wordle as it will highlight the essence of what iEARN is. I do encourage you to watch the video and then write the description of iEARN based on your impressions of the video. They may be the same but you may also learn something new.
Warm regards,
Diane

Hi Abdesalam,
Thanks for sharing your Wordle. Can you imagine what one will look like when we have everyone’s items is A great description of iEARN! To keep a copy of yours that you can use you can do a screen capture or print screen and then edit that picture if you need to. That is what we will do to share the whole classes' Wordle.
(I am still waiting to see if you have any changes after viewing the video.)
Warm regards,
Diane

Dear brother,,
I liked your sentences about IEARN and I agree with you. iEARN is like a mother that teaches us a lot and us in the same house. So we are like a family that each member helps each other and IEARN guides us.

Hi Abdesalam,
I have had opportunity to read your Wordle about IEARN > You have very interesting sentences.
Please may I know what the sentence "Young by heart/young by age " mean ?


Abdesalam_Zouita - Oct 30, 2009 1:02 pm (1.4.1)
Hello Senorfe,
This a coined phrase said by Doctor Abdelmajid Bouzaine, during the iEARN international conference in Ifrane, Morocco. During the opening ceremony if could remember. He suggested that there are old people and young people. Instead of using old people, he said that old people are old by age, but young by hear. That is why we have this phrase: "Young by heart/young by age”
Salam

Hi Abdesalam,
You made some great observations. I am curious as to why you included the link to the video on YouTube. Where you not able to view it on the lesson page http://courses.iearn.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=4470
Diane

Abdesalam_Zouita - Oct 5, 2009 4:56 am (4.1.1)
Dear Diane,
I could view it in the course, but there is no voice. That is why I used YOUTUBE to listen to what the people in the video say. Then, I thought some of my colleagues would have the same problem listening to it.

Hi Abdesalam,
I really applaud your determination about finishing your assignment! You were creative. I do not know why you did not hear the sound on the lesson assignment page. There is a speaker icon at the bottom of the viewing screen. Did you try clicking on it to make the sound louder? To help our tech people find out what the problem might be could you tell me what operating system (Windows x.x, Vista, etc.) and what browser you are using?
Thanks!
Diane

Abdesalam_Zouita - Oct 5, 2009 1:08 pm (4.1.1.1.1)

Hi Diane,
I got it. It was my mistake. I have not paid attention to the icon of the speaker. But, now everything is fine. I have tried viewing the video again. It worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot
Abdesalam

Dear Hasnaa,
I like your idea of “discovering hidden talents” When students are guided competently, they would come up with unbelievable products. Often times my simple suggestions for them turn to be a tremendous work. It is a way to discover the dormant resourceful sides of these students. Successfully enough, would be when the students are doing their assignments and actively in an entertaining way.
Hasnaa, Have you ever discovered something that you had never imagined while working with your students?
Regards
Abdesalam

Hello Velma and all,
You have voiced Constructive and meaningful statements. However, it would many cultures rather than one culture. Thus, it would be a horizontal and vertical relationship within the same culture and beyond it. In addition, it is for sure we will have gained tremendous kills and knowledge by the end of this course. That we would cascade to make the globe more connected. IEARN does not only introduce new teaching techniques, but it enhances old one. Sometimes, it improves some practices. What is more is that iEARN does not only make people be aware of values, but iearners put them into practice through the various projects, conferences, either online or face to face, on the mutual friendship that connect hundreds of people around the world.
