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.
Hi Ricardo,
ReplyDeleteReally happy to read your diary! Indeed, the course has given us a sort of psychological interface with the technology which, as you said, very useful though we used to think that they are not so.
Next point I also have realized that we should not expect page-to-page or start-to-end knowledge perception. There might persist the difficulties and gaps, yet it's you who has to do from the threshold. Moreover, technology is also a '-logy': a study of the techniques and it's ongoing or developmental which is continuous in the continuum.
We can't express our gratitude to our course tutor in words and discourse. To be very honest, he is one of the few teachers who are very responsive and honest in their 'care and cure' psyche.
While going
We have really formed a heterogeneous group of the people round the globe. Hope we would be in contact virtually and who knows it would happen off-virtually.
VERY HAPPY TO GET CONSTRUCTIVE FRIENDS LIKE YOU AND SAD AWHILE TO LEAVE YOU AND THE ONGOING SESSION,SOB...SOB... ;-(
THANKING YOU.
