Technology in class (final reflection)


I can´t believe this is the last week in our web skills e- course.
I would like to start by thanking the American Embassy for being my sponsor so I could study on line with UO. It was ten weeks of discovery.

Two things I loved about my e- course were Web Quests and Power point presentations. None of them were new to me but reading more about them and being asked to develop tasks made me realize the practical use of these tools in our technological world. In fact, I have taken upon myself, to expand my knowledge and introduce them in every class I teach.

Every topic, reading and task we came across with, in the e course was worth the while. I am going to go over such material to instill in me every bit of it. Sooner than later, I am going to give a workshop to my co workers. So I need to be prepared to handle it. I am so thrilled!

I am fully satisfied with the way the e course was conducted. Robert, my e trainer was with us all the way. For me, there was a lot of discovery and rediscovery I may add. I feel like I am 5 steps ahead of the crowd (namely, other teachers). This is how I feel.

  1. Hi Jerry!
    Indeed dear friend it is our last week in this e-course but I think that:
    On the one hand, dealing with the use of technology in language teaching is still an endless quest!
    On the other hand, we have to keep on the dialogue sharing many things even outside the limits of our ending e-course!
    it was agreat occasion to meet with lovely teachers like you!

  2. Hi Jerry,

    Wonderful job at describing your daily routine, and some tips that helped you to do well on this class.

    I think this is an amazing experience because we could get an idea of how technology is used in other countries, and make comparisons with our country.

    And we really appreciate to all of the ones who made this course possible for us.

    Sincelely,

    Santiago

  3. I agree with you Jerry. We should go back and go further because there are so many things worth further exploration and reflection. I think all of us are going to miss this course and all the great classmates! See you! :)
