Week 10 ... this is the end, unfortunately

Well, the title of my post describes everything I feel now ... It is a mix of emotions and it is kind of weird to describe how I am feeling because I am a little bit sad and at the same time proud. It is 5:30 PM and I am actually having my final written exam with the students in which I implemented the project for my webskills course. Saying "bye" to them and also to my webskills course makes me feel very nostalgic.
Taking this wonderful course made me reflect on what I am supposed to do and also helped me changing my mind in many aspects related to my teaching style. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to reinforce many ideas I had about using technology in my class and at the same time I was able to interact with many people from all over the world.
If there is something I would be glad of saying is that I had a wonderful tutor ... Maybe I will never be able to meet Mrs Donna Shaw in person but the only thing I may say is that she was an extraordinary leader and a one of a kind person. All her help and things she shared are going to be reflected on better results in my classes from now on.
There were too many things that I learned in these last months and they are going to help me being a better teacher ... Interactive powerpoint presentations, integrating MI and learning styles using technology in classes, writing class objectives, developing the four macroskills and some other topics related with technology are going to be my day to day challenge as a teacher.
I am very satisfied to see all the things I have learned lately but knowing that I will not have the readings of my course and all the tasks I was doing make me feel sad. Well, this is all for my course ...

Week nine ... MI, Learning Styles and the use of technology

Well, another week has gone and we are about to finish out wonderful Webskills course. This week has been really rewarding as we finish our final project report. It was nice to finish it after taking some hours of writing, analyzing, correcting it and taking my classmate's advices to shape it better. As in the previous weeks, we studied a relevant topic this week. We learned how to incorporate technology with Multiple Intelligences (MI) and learning styles. This is one of my favorite topics when teaching English and it is always a challenging for me to learn new activities to implement them in my classes. I have always found this issue  really important and necessary for teachers when planning and also when analyzing my students' behavior. I read a couple of articles about MI and LS and made me think about how necessary is to implement technology in our classes nowadays. Students are immersed in a technological environment every day and it is a good idea that teachers may take some time to figure out how to take hand of technology in order to meet students' learning needs. 

Well, this coming week is the last one for our course and I am eager to see what the last step is. I hope it may be as pleasant as the whole course has been.
