Last but not least - Week 10

Wow. I thought I woudn't be able to get through this week! A lot of work to do and less time to it. It is time for balance. For thinking of future participants, thinking of how the course affected our teaching, how we might be using technology in the future, thinking of how we might keep in touch with our classmates and so on. The best thing about this course was certainly forcing me to stop and think of my relationship with technology in the classroom. I also got great ideas from my teachers and my classmates. However, I mostly learned with my thinking and reflecting upon my practice. Best of all, I had a great time, and I am sure my students did too! Thank you everybody who took part in this journey: Celeste, Jody, the guest participants, my classmates... It was great working with you all! Cheers! See you around!

Week 9

I would start by saying mission accomplished. However, that would be a lie. Handing in the final project was a relief, but there is still a lot of work to do with my students. I want to accomplish so much with them, that I don't know when I will accomplish my full mission. I have learned so much up to now, and I want to put it all into practice.

The discussion on learning styles was also very profitable. Thinking more specifically about the intrapersonal style made me stop to think if I cater to that style at all in my classes... It is always interesting to revisit some beliefs and see what others think about them.
Well, the last week is right around the corner. All I can say is that it has been great. So much sharing, learning and caring took place!

Week 8

What a busy week. I still haven't found the time to explore all websites and resources proposed this week. I was very upset because I couldn't attend the webinar with Jeff on Friday, but I hope I can catch up on that, too.

Writing the draft took me a while, but I guess it is not so distant from the final version. The thing is, I keep reading it, having new ideas and I want to put them all on the project, so it seems like a never ending job! It was great being able to share comments and read my partners' work. I love seeing how different minds work. It is just great to see how people are different and how many different ideas each one has.

We are now heading towards the end of the course, with a feeling of mission accomplished. My students have certainly profited a lot from everything I've learned up to now. And I'm sure they will still profit a lot more, because I still have a lot of work going on!
