WEEK 10

Well, the end came and I feel very happy because I have gained new knowledge about the use of technology in my classes. It is incredible to know that I can use many of the tools suggested in this course and there are others that I am planning to use.

First, I remember the first time I used nicenet in this course and to tell the truth I was very nerveous because I wanted to do the right thing. But I noticed that everybody felt the same. Nicenet give me the opportunity of sharing opinions with my colleges and make me feel that I was not alone. We helped and learned each other with the weekly comments, blog posting, sharing useful links in Delicious.

Second, the readings give me the opportunity of reviewing and reflecting about some topics that I have read before, but they also let me know new things that can help me to be a better teacher.

Third, the use of ABCD to set the objectives was great because in that way we can center what we want from our students.

 Fourth, the Technology tools for creating Students-Centered classes took me to another level of creativity. I did my first Interactive power point and Jeopardy. That was great !!! I have also used the teacher resources to create some material, like handouts, etc.

These are some of the good experiences that this course have allowed me  and make me think in this song: OVER THE RAINBOW

"Somewhere over the rainbow ,   Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of ,   Dreams really do come true "

Finally, We all know that technology surrounds us so, we have to take advantage of this in order to use it in our classes.

Thanks to the Embassy of my country, thanks to Jody and Celeste for all the support and finally, thanks to all of you for sharing .

Good luck !!!
