Grammar should not be taught in isolation but in context of its use. There are two main approaches to the teaching of grammar, which are deductive and inductive . Deductice approach is also called top down approach while inductive approach is also called bottom up approach. sakamercy https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1623624834 2021-06-24 13:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1623624834 Teaching listening and speaking.

I was able to create google drive where files are kept. I also created wakelet and padlet that help in online lessons. The experience gained is very interesting and will try as much as possible to implement what I have learnt to my students so that teaching and learning should be interesting. ]]> 2021-09-15 10:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742275280 A letter to myself sakamercy https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742354844 Dearest Mercy, 
I just want to tell you that I have learnt a very interesting course called Integration of Technology into Teaching and Learning(ITTL) Mobile. Honestlty, I have learnt a lot. 
I used to upload pictures on facebook but I didn't know that I was working in the cloud, wow! Now, when uploading them I proudly say " Storing in the cloud".
In addition to this I've learnt about the difference between technology teaching and technology integration. The most important thing that is needed in our education is technology integration because it is learner centred unlike technology teaching.
So many things are happening with technology and learning and there are a lot of advantages on it. Teaching and learning using ITTL is very interesting and interactive. 
With the knowledge gained, I will be able to teach my students using ITTL without any problems. In the near future I  forsee myself going in class without books or chalk but just using tablets or smart phones when teaching. I see myself assessing my students using technology, no hustles in marking papers or scripts. I am sure technology will be very advanced in ten years to come. I am very excited and looking forward to having such a good time.
I have lots to tell you but at the mean time let me stop here my dear. I want to create some resources for my next lesson. See you soon.
Yours, 
Mercy.]]> 2021-09-15 10:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742354844 One drive sakamercy https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742444072 2021-09-15 11:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742444072 Wakelet sakamercy https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742449627 2021-09-15 11:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sakamercy/77kkcmh1qta9tdzu/wish/1742449627
