Week 9 - I can not be sad...

I can not be sad... Because:

This week, I learned:
1. About learning styles, my own learning style and the utility of the learning styles evaluation into the students group, to get more effectiveness into the teaching process.
2. I learned more and more about the different tools that I have planned to use in my final project, my second reviewing was very illustrative about the features of the tools, limitations and expectations that I must to wait after I apply them into the english program.
3. Also this week I was fortunate to make my first Webquest, in my project I had planned to use this tool, but there's nothing like the experience and be clear about the benefits provides the Webquest. My theme for this week was: "Confusing Words".

I can not be sad... Because:

The next week I will have an opportunity to recap all the tools, learnings and thoughts from our tutor (Janines) and all my classmates.

I can not be sad... Because:

Definitely today I am much more capable than 9 weeks ago...

I can not be sad... Because:

On the next weeks I will have the opportunity to develop my project to collaborate with the SMEs, trying to build a better country.

I can not be sad... But... I WILL MISS YOU, I WILL MISS YOUR LEARNINGS, I WILL MISS YOUR THOUGHTS.

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Week 8 - This week was a bit chaotic ... but full of learning!!



This week was a bit chaotic ... but full of learning!!

1. In making my first draft of the project, I realized that I learned a lot, I feel that I could organize and apply what we have been learned in this certification, I am very satisfied.

2. I learned a lot from my partner Shashinie, from Sri Lanka, her draft and her feedback were very interesting for me. Thank you very much, it really was a pleasure working with Shashinie and see that no matter how far we are or how different we are in objectives and circumstances, we can always learn about the other one.

3. ANVILL for me was something new, I'm a little slow in learning anything, but once I get it I blew up the most, I really hope to join the ANVILL's group, being a good teacher and take advantage of what others, have developed with so much talent, in this case I learned that large projects have great leaders (as Jeff) and great artists (as his team), so at work, I stay very motivated with the achievements of ANVILL. CONGRATULLATIONS!

4. I enjoyed!! create my first multiple-choice assessment with a tool as simple as "easytestmaker" henceforth I am your fan!!

5. And finally read about all my colleagues!!! means learning, and learning an learning!!! I always feel I need more time ... long time to digest what each of you has to offer. Thanks!

And to follow that we are almost there!
