WEEK 10-MY FINAL REFLECTION

It is incredible we are in the last week!!!

It was a pleasure to share all this experience with my E-friends, and now I can say that thanks to Donna and this web-course I discovered a new and amazing world called technology full of interesting and helpful activities.

Well at the beginning of this web-course I was really afraid because I did not worked with technology in my classes because in my workplace we do not have access to it.

Although this course was very demanding taking part of it was a rewarding experience, demanding because I had to devote for at least 3 hours a day to complete the different tasks for each week, and a rewarding experience because every week I learned how to work with many interesting and useful tools, all of them are very important in order to improve my teaching.

So, now I know that integrating technology in my classes means a new way to reach different types of learners and assess students understanding through multiple means. It also will enhance my relationship with my students. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun, because it provides active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts.

Good luck to everybody, in all your projects and everything in your live.

Sincerely,

Sylvia

  2. Dear Sylvia,

    Thank you for the comments on my blog.
    My current level of technology integration is level 0 as same as when you started this course.
    I hope we will improve students' learning by applying what we learned here into our class.

    Best,

  3. Hi Sylvia,

    I share with you the feeling about the course at the beginning of it. It was a little bit scary. Now we have learned so many things that will make our job something to enjoy. So when you say that this experience will allow you to enhance the relationship with your students you are so right. I was reluctant about using technology or on-line tools for language learning because I felt it can make it inpersonal but on contrary with this experience the relationship with students can be stronger after all.

    Regards,

    Boris
