century. The learning insights I gained here are significant for it

craft in the teaching profession
What challenges or difficulties did There are challenges or difficulties I encountered while
you experience during the course? undergoing this online course. First is my capability. I doubted
my capability in joining this GURO 21. I felt that I have a little
knowledge to share regarding this course but then as we go on
with our lesson, I was able to prove to myself that I can.
Second is Time. Time is indeed an inevitable challenge while
having this course. During the first chat session, I was in the
hospital accompanying my mother for her chemotherapy
treatment. It was a multi-tasked activity for that day. Also,
while having the online session, I was printing my modules and
learning activity sheets simultaneously. Third is internet
connectivity. Our WIFI signal is not really stable. my Internet
Connection was slow so I have to use my cellular phone to
catch up with the discussions online. My cellular phone saved
me but still, it was taxing. I still prefer my laptop’s keyboard
rather than the phone. These are my challenges while having
my GURO 21 journey. And I thank God, for I was able to
finish it. It was challenging but it was also fulfilling.
What areas related to 21st Century The GURO 21 online course served as my assessment tool on
teaching and learning do you still how effective I am as a 21st century educator. There are areas
need to improve on and why? that I want to develop more to help my students also acquire the
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that they need to cope
with the changes and challenges of the 21st century. I want to
enhance more my ICT skills. Technology now a days are
salient tool in delivering instruction to our students. It makes
the lesson delivery easier, engaging and interesting. I want to
update myself with the current trends, applications and tools
necessary for teaching. Since I am a nurse by profession and
just took up my earning units in education, I want also to
enhance my pedagogical content knowledge to give me a strong
foundation about the theories, philosophies and policies in the
teaching profession. Also, since we should act as facilitators of
knowledge, I want to strengthen my roles as teacher facilitator.
The importance of developing the higher order thinking skills
of our students is also necessary to enhance their critical
thinking skills; therefore, I want also to improve my art of
questioning. My role being a classroom manager is also since
it is a critical factor to ensure that we are creating a conducive
learning environment and to eliminate disruptive behaviors, I
also want to deepen my understanding on my roles and
responsibilities as classroom manager.
What can you say about your My journey in GURO 21 Class 3 was indeed fruitful. I am so
overall experience (i.e. comment thankful I was really given the opportunity to be part of the
on chat, forum, course group. Honestly speaking, I initiated the step to tell to my
requirements, FLT competency, school head that I would like to join this online course. I know
and the online modality)? she’s worried on where to get the payment of it, though it was
already stated in the memorandum that it can be in the MOOE,
so to pacify her worries and because I really like to join this
online course, I handled the fee personally and I feel proud and
blessed that I was able to finish this online course.
I am thankful to all the teachers I encountered in this course
because they provided and share insights and ideas that are
helpful to become an empowered and effective 21st century
teacher. I am thankful to Sir Noel for facilitating this course
proficiently. Your brilliant ideas Sir Noel tickled our minds and
made us really think deeply. You ignited our brain cells to work
in every online session and forum sharing. I also thank Sir Jess
for being always there to assist our rages when we’re out of the
chat room accidentally while having the lesson. Thank you sir
for providing immediate intervention regarding technical
problems we encounter. The online modality of sharing ideas or
insights should be enhance or modified. Video application tool
must be included in the chat room so that we will be able to see
each other personally too. Nevertheless, I enjoyed and I learn
fruitfully in this online course. I hope to have more
participation with SEAMEO course offerings again. Our
productive interaction, my dear co-flexi learners and Sir Noel
are wonderful. Kudos to each and everyone!
What are your other comments / I would like to suggest that in the chat room, all previous chat
suggestions for improving the sessions should be seen so that we can be able to read back our
content coverage and future previous discussions and for teachers who were not able to join
course deliveries? that particular online chat schedule. When using video in the
forum section, the video time should be enlarged in terms of its
mb capacity so that if our Flexi tutor require us to submit a
discussion that needs video interaction, we can fully express
our ideas.
