Open graduation

*The online teacher training course I have taken was

entitled.
Integrating Critical Thinking Skills into the Exploration of
Culture in an EFL Setting Fall 2019.

Before talking about my experience as a community lead I

would like to thank our instructors Hannah Kusi and Kara
Howard for their hard work and precious guidance all
along our service. My thanks extend to all the other OPEN
alumni for their hard work and priceless contributions. So,
keep up the good work dear colleagues.

Having said that, I would describe my experience as a

community lead as Unique and exceptional. The feeling that
there are other teachers somewhere else sharing the same
daily experiences as me is really helping to overcome
whatever challenges we may face. What’s more; My
colleagues discussions helped me a lot of times to tackle
things from different angles.

Concerning my role as a Resource Guru, I learned a very

important aspect which is TO always MAKE my
DISCUSSION POSTs engaging and compelling. This can be
done through for example sharing my own experience for
other OPEN alumni to engage and empathize with my post.
So, it’s very useful to mention for instance, the age and the
level of students we are dealing with. Also, it is very helpful
to clarify what other teachers can expect from the resource
we are sharing. including open-ended questions to our
posts can help other OPEN alumni to know exactly how to
engage in the discussion. For example, we could ask a
question like, "What are some strategies you use to attain
your objectives?"
So, Again, thank you for giving us this opportunity.
See you very soon.
