The great finale

It is so difficult to write sometimes about our performance in any task taken because we tend to evaluate ourselves in good way but our feelings can blind us on what we really did and how we finished. At this point I feel very complete with the job we have done during the course and what I like the most it`s the idea fo integrate technology in our teachers practices due to now, our students are so eager to learn something by using technological resources and in a way, they will be more confident and with the use of computers during the process of education. I think in the future students mya not need a teacher phisically in a classroom and it could happen that maybe we are preparing them for the stages on how schools will work and how classes will be like in a few years. At the beggining of the course I thought there were nothing new in the horizon if we are talking about the application of technology in the classroom but this 10 weeks of work have shown how small was my knowledge in terms of webskills and how far I was from being a interactive teacher with the use of computers.
As everything, we shouldn`t have the idea of being full of knowledge after learning something, on the contrary, we must find a way how to improve day by day, month by month and so on our teaching perfomance in order to become more effective and meaningful within our practices.
Finally I would like to thank Robert for being a very supportive and very skill tutor because without him, most of us wouldn`t have the possibility to overcome this course in terms of  being with us all the time and showing us a path which at the end, will show us how to encourage my students to be an autonomous learner by using our own experience of this course.  Thanks for everything to robert and all the teachers who have participated on this course, they have shown how clever and creative can a teacher be with the support of someone who reallly cares about our main objective in education, the learning process of our students. See you soon I hope.

Week 9 almost at the end.

This week work have been very ineteresting because we finally made our schools projects. My project is oriented to develop all the communicative skills from the language in an autonomous way so my students in their free time can practice and go deep with the classroom contents from the national curriculum. In a way we may provide these tools to them because it is not enough time on classes to work deeply and I plan to solve that problem through a website which I already made. The other aspect which was intereting was how technology can help us to identify and can improve students learning owing to their learning style. There several readings and resources that can be helpful to use in order to identify every style and how can we work showing samples of each and what can do to make our performance as a teacher better.
that`s all thanks for your ideas and thoughts and see you then.

week 8 making the costume

This week it has been particulary rewarding because my project`s draft is being observe by a dear colleague Apana Gupta from Nepal. As I evidenced she is wonderful teacher and most of their ideas and setting issues may be share with her because in my country and specifically in my town technology it is not something you can find around the corner so it is like a mirror.  Tomorrow I will start 2013 work in my students after a 2 months vacation so imagine how I feel. However, this course help me a lot to keep thinking on teaching and how my practices can be adapted to our new genereations. Thanks again and bye bye.
