| Introduction | I am Eldin, I work as a full time teacher at a technical high-school teaching and as a freelance translator. I study at The University of Sarajevo for M.A. degree in translation studies. Although I like technology and I use it in my classroom (computers, smart boards, language-learning software etc.) I have never used it in this way. It's a wonderful way to make your students engaged in using technology for learning not just for playing (which they do most of the time). Apart from learning new things, tips and tricks for incorporating blogs and other webskills into our everyday teaching, this is also a great opportunity to learn more about each other, our different cultures, education systems, different problems we have in our classrooms, share our experiences and find solution to problems. I like working with children because besides teaching them a new language, I often find myself helping them cope with some life issues which distract them from learning in general, and that is the most rewarding thing a teacher can get. |
