WEEK 10
Hello all!
In this post I would like to reflect upon the past 9 weeks in the course. To be honest, it lived up to and went beyond my expectations! I feel I grew as a professional, I learned tons in the past few weeks. I definitely recommend this course who's brave enough plunge into a world of resources to make our classes more vivid and appealing!
As far as content goes, I believe every piece of information and interaction with participants were productive and relevant to my practices. I particularly enjoyed Nicenet discussions a lot. Although sometimes it turned out to be hard to follow, the interaction and exchange of opinions and material was really fuirtful. Another aspect of the course I liked was the hands-on aspect, i.e., it went beyond theoretical principles and gave us a chance to create and share resources.
If I had to think about an element, tool or technique that I would have liked to find as part of the content, I would say it would have been nice and enriching to have a webminar / video session with our instructor. She proved to be passionate and knowledgeable about the topic! In my opinion, it'd be nice if future participants could have a chance to interact with her synchronously.
That said, I wanted to congratulate all my classmates who have put in a lot of effort into completing so demanding a course, having in mind we are all BUSY teachers!!! Hats off to them.
I also wanted to thank Courtney for being such an incredible instructor, always ready to pitch in with top notch tips, helping us every step of the way (even from an airplane!!!) and for having encouraged us to give the best of ourselves...
I'm going to miss you guys! I hope we stay in touch.
Hi Pablo,
ReplyDeleteI am also sorry the course is over but - I agree with you - it brought us dozens of new links and tools and resources and readings... We will be even busier next semester trying to analyze everything for future implementation... However, it sounds good. ;))
The course opened new directions we can follow to develop and progress and - that is very important - the ways we can lead our students and goals we can set before them.
I wish you lots of luck and professional success in your beautiful Argentina!
Warm regards from Ukraine,
Natalya.
Hi Pablo,
ReplyDeleteIt is the end of a wonderful experience where we all grew professionally. Keeping up with the busy schedule of the course, while teaching and for me during summer holidays dragging the whole family behind, certainly was challenging but rewarding.
I also learned a lot not only from Courtney with her commitment to be highly appraised but even from you and the other course mates, who were so passionate in their discussions on Nicenet.
I wish you good luck and success with your teaching!
Best regards,
Daniela
Dear Pablo,
ReplyDeleteWe have learnt a lot of things that are going to positively change the ways we teach. As the course takes an end, allow me to join you and thank our instructor who was always ready to answer any question and provide assistance when and where needed! Let's congratulate our classmates on their course completion, especially their fruitful discussions!
To finish up, let's all stay in touch and united!!
Best,

Hello, Pablo,
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad when something good is over.
But it seems to me it's only the beginning of the way of putting into practice all the gained knowledge and skills.
I think it would be great if we could share our trials and experience in the future.
It has always been very interesting to read your posts and ideas.
Good luck!
Valeria
