So this is already the end? These ten weeks flew, it always happens when you are engaged and motivated and this was exactly how I felt in the course. What a great opportunity for new learning and experiences. Every single week was a surprise box or a tool box to open and discover. I enjoyed a lot reading such interesting texts on creating objectives, learning autonomy, learning styles and the different approaches and strategies to teach reading, writing, listening and speaking using technological tools. I was aware of some of the tools, like power point, some sites to practice English and blogs; but most of them were completely new to me: Webquests, ANVILL, interactive PPT and they are still a challenge because I think the journey didn’t finish here, it’s just starting, I see it like a new beginning for our professional development. The learning has been enormous but now it’s the time to travel the road alone, or at least without guidance because I think it would be very valuable to keep in touch with the participants of the course and continue sharing knowledge and experiences.
Thanks to Janine for her valuable and encouraging comments and thanks to my classmates who took some time to read my reflections and leave a short message.
Best wishes to all of you.
Dear Monicalu
ResponderEliminarI feel like you while you wrote " it always happen when you are motivated" and that is exactly what happened to all of us. As for this course, you wrote the right words, it is the time to continue the road by ourselves and use or try to use these new teaching strategies in order to incorporate technological tools in our class. Above all it was an honor studying with you and Janinel as our team leader.
Best wishes to you too.
