Is there anything I won't use?
To
me, I was succesful with all of the contents and tasks that were
assigned along the course, and I think this is due to the clear and
specific instructions we always received on what was expected from us
to do. This together with the readigns which were carefully selected
to be connected to the weekly tasks helped me to have an excellent
balance between theory and practice. If I have to higlight some
contents as especially sucessful, it would be the ABCD objective, the
padlet post, the assesing technology integration, and the final project.
In
terms of the usefulness of the material covered, I must say again
that all will be useful. However, I am specifically planning to
implement in my lessons soon the blogs, the technology enhanced
lesson plans, the creation of exercises to be used online or offline,
and (my favorite) the Padlet postings.
I
cannot say that any of the contents studied was irrelevant because about 90% of them were totally new to me, and I have even started to use
some of them in my classes such as the delicious page and the
alternative search engines.
So, to the question if there's anything I won't use, I can say NOTHING at all!
Thank
you very much Donna and all the people working with you at University
of Oregon for setting up such a wonderful course for so many teachers
around the world.
If
one day any of you come to El Salvador, do not book a hotel because
my house is your place to stay and you will be more than welcome!
Warmest

Hello Lorena
ReplyDeleteYou are right ...the question if there's anything I won't use, I can say NOTHING at all!
This course was very great for all of us .. As you , I am planning to implement all what i have learned in my classes .
Thanks to all of you
Dear Lorena,
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The course is fabulous. Each constituent part of the course contributes greatly to the success of the overall process: well-prepared contents of the course, well-selected innovative tools and materials, a mature instructor and enthusiastic participants.
As well as you I also find the contents rather relevant, because some information was new and unexpected for me. For instance, a huge amount of search engines or gorgeous sites for teaching different aspects of language or Wallwisher and many, many other things.
An ocean is between our states- El Salvador and Kazakhstan. However, I feel that I am communicating with my close person. Due to technologies we are uniting continents and countries.
Thank you for your kind welcoming words! Might be some day… Who knows…We will have opportunity to talk face-to-face…
From Kazakhstan with love,
Larissa
Hello Lorena,
ReplyDeleteI have to answer your question in the same way that you answered it: there's nothing I would not use! As with you, most of the tools were new to me and I'm so happy we learned how to use them because they are great tools to use in and outside the classrooms.
Let's keep in touch, shall we?
Wishing you all the best and a lot of success in everything you do!
