Week 8 Reflection

   I cannot believe week 8 is gone and that we have only 2 more weeks to go . Every time I think about it, I appreciate even more the effort everyone has put into making this course a turning point to our academic life. Again, this week was very demanding and above all very insightful. Below these lines, the most important highlights are going to be discussed.

   Final Project: I had to write my report in three days and I did not want to leave any thing behind. I checked what I had done before in Nicenet and added more information as requested. What is more, I pushed myself to my limits so that I could just write the final touches to my rough draft for next week´s final report. I have to admit that working with Esala was a big help as she made me look my final report draft from another viewpoint. I learned a lot from her comments; and I would really love to work with her again. She is the best!

   Task: For this week´s assignment, we had to either create a handout,  an exercise or a class site. I decided to do the most difficult task because I chose to do the latter one. The process was extremely diffucult, and time-consuming. At the end, I was kind of proud with what I have accomplished. However, I am very far away from creating a perfect website like Donna did. 

   Discussion on Nicenet:  We were given a discussion topic about how to improve the lerner autonomy and how the use of technology can make  our instruction much better. The benefits of all this is endless as our students, at least most of them, are already good at the use of technology. Needless to say, as teachers, we have to give them more effective and interactive technology tools for our classrooms to be more indepedent, and thus forge well-rounded citizens; who are going to be ready to solve the problems of the 21st Century.

   We have only 5 days left! I do not want this course to end. I feel like I will always be in need of Donna and my wonderful classmates from all over the world. I cannot believe we are almost done with this turning point course. Guys, I will always be thankful to you. You all guys rock!
