Week 3 - Delicious Oranges' Talks

We cut this week into three slices. All of them were very delicious. Over the first one, the most delicious one, we shared our most delicate secrets.
The second slice was quite big so we chatted over it for a long time. We discussed the aural/oral skills starting from reading the different articles to visiting a lot of (web) sites that supplied us with a great deal of theoretical and practical resources. The talk on them was rich and educational. It seems like the Oranges have reached a higher level of communication. I am happy to be a part of this multi-way learning environment!
The last bite brought along a quiet conversation on former participants' projects. I’ve picked to talk about Runganayagie Nalini Reddy's Project. Reddy's ideas made me stop and think for a while. I've realized that teachers all over the World face similar challenges on a daily basis. I promised to myself not to complain about my working conditions and decided to try out ‘everything what is there' to help me in teaching.
I’ll definitely start from Podcasting and show to my students how to do it. I believe this will make them feel they can create with the knowledge they possess. They can reflect on it, just as I am doing right now, and get involved into the process of brushing their skills. I surely am brushing my ideas for the Final Plan.
