Leann Rimes and Brian Mcfadden - Everybody's someone
So if we treat every single student as "someone" who is full of feelings , emotions , likes and dislikes , hobbies, talents and his very own personality, we will reach what we were all talking about "touching their lives and make a change "
I personally like this song so much , because despite the meaning it holds, it also reminds me everytime I hear it of my own personal goal in teaching. My goal was to touch my students lives not only on vertical basis but also horizontal one, to affect them in a deep way making them more confident with their own selves. I hope I can really learn the lesson of "Eveybody's someone "

who moved my cheese
Every educator must be flexible with all the changes. Those who are rigid and resist change , will always remain in "the comfort zone". They will use the same techniques , tools , methods and activities in their way of teaching which of course will lead him/her to be that boring kind of teacher. Student will enter the class and will be engaged with whatever the mean of entertainment rather than focus on the lesson.
But if the educator take risks and welcome the change, he might go further than before. He may lead his students to undiscovered areas in them and in him as well.
Change is what make us live in continuous excitement, willing for new areas , new opportunities.
And if we refer this to our ETCT diploma, I believe that because we need to be better teachers we decided to "change" and approach our students more.
This movie was a turning point in my career. Hope it will be the same for you

The effect of the last class
Our last class was my favorite. YES! it was , among the past ones.
I guess I learned some new things on both the professional and personal aspects
It was my very first time enjoying my mistakes. When I didn't do my first assignment the way I want to do it, I learned to try new way while I'm doing article reflections.So next time I will be using Bassant's way of taking notes " the two colors writing", so that I want take much time reading then reading again to take notes then reading again to take reflections. That won't be learned , if I didn't do this mistake !
I really liked the activity we played in order to remember the order while writing the bibliography. I enjoyed it very much & also I learned through it. Being a person who learn the most by trying himself , play and do active actions. It was the best time I have received knowledge about something.
I will tell you what it was for me:
1) I enjoyed my time
2) it motivated me to go read more articles and try to practice writing the references
3) it taught me a new way to teach my student by. It wasn't something difficult it was very easy yet to the point
I also learned that , showing students' work to their peers really does a lot. For them , they would be proud of themselves, they will feel appreciated about their work and also motivated to do more. Also for their peers to learn from their work, get motivated to excel and compete .
Seriously I have enjoyed the last class to infinity and beyond
