First week reflections

Well, this is my first post in my blog. It has been a little bit difficult for me to catch up on posting information in previous logs, so keeping this blog updated is going to be really challenging for me.


This blog is going to be focused on sharing my experience and thoughts about the online course I am currently taking. This course is provided by the University of Oregon on the spring of the year 2013 and it deals with helping teachers to build skills through the interactive web.


This has been a week for the participants to know the generalities of the course and the procedures to follow during these 10 weeks. At the beginning, I was sort of scared because this is the first time I am taking an online course, and I had some doubts last week. Hopefully, I have been receiving very useful information in my e-mail from my tutor, Ms Donna Shaw, and this has reduced my anxiety a lot.


I had lots of expectations before the course started and I have been learning many things since the very first day. I learned how to log into http://www.nicenet.org and alll the information and tasks are assigned there, so I have been constantly checking the updates in this website. Furthermore, I introduced myself to the group and I also commented in a couple of posts that other participants have made. On the other hand, I have also read very relevant information about online discussions, weblogs for ESL teachers, and to create a blog.


I think this has been a very interesting week and I am looking forward to continue learning more and more in the following weeks
