Week 10

This is the last week of the course and I'm missing the readings  and checking websites already. As I told my colleagues it was hard work but I learned lots of new things.  Online tools were very useful to apply them in class: webquests were my favourite. I also liked rubrics and online exercises to print or not. Also the learning styles week was very productive. What I missed was some lessons about CLIL to exchange opinions and experiences about it.I'm presently teaching Arts and Crafts in English to my 5th  grade students. I just talked about CLIL with Jurgita who is also teaching a CLIL class and we think it's a very interesting way to learn a foreign language.
What I think about the course is that it has been very practical and I applied many online tools and plan to  add more to my classes. I hope that when the school year finishes in three weeks I'll be able to review websites and readings from Robert's course to keep learning more and organising ideas.
Sometimes I think it's a pity that we couldn't meet to continue exchanging ideas and good practice with our course mates. But of course we are from all over the world !!!

Week 9

I'm almost done with my project and I'm proud of it. I think my students had a good change thanks to the course and the technology tools chosen to improve my classes. Now I notice I'm thinking in how can I use technology in my classes more an more. It's like I'm not so worried of trying new tools because my students can benefit from them so I feel more confident even if I have to make some changes.
This week's topic was learning styles and technology tools which I found interesting but after reading the article of gthe New York Times things are not so clear anymore. What I think is that I need to design different types of exercises,,and online tools can help a lot, to cope with different learnng styles.
