Truly great
ten weeks. Learning to learn and learning to teach. Every week brought
something peculiar and helped me discover new methods and techniques for future
progress in the teaching field. Special time with special people. A little
sorry that it’s all over…
A lot of
topics have been discussed and quite a number of posts published (more than
thirty pages of MS Word drafts before posting online!). Still more to reflect
upon and ‘digest’… It all will surely take some time. To sum up, my UO Webskills
Course discoveries look like this:
Week 1. Nicenet.com
(!!).
Week 2.
Noodletools.com. ABCD Model for
Behavioral Objectives. Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Week 3. Delicious.com.
Week 4. A technology-enhanced lesson planning.
Week 5. PBL and
WebQuests. Rubrics and Alternative Assessment (!!).
Week 6. Interactive Power
Point.
Week 7. Learner Autonomy.
Week 8. Online course
sites.
Week 9. Learning styles
(!!).
Week 10. Tiers of technology
integration.
This is a course to be
recommended without any hesitation.
It filled me with great
ideas and practical advice.
I had a chance to ‘meet’
nice people and professionals ‘on fire’.
I was honored to get
acquainted with the American system of online university education.
I am happily tired and inspired
and full of enthusiasm.
I would like to thank my
dear course mates – Omar, Valeria, Pablo, Mariale, Diana, Sosthene, Daniela, Kum-wu
and others for a great time of communication and fruitful collaboration. I do
hope to stay in touch with you guys. If you don’t mind, of course! ;)
Courtney, thank you for
BRINGING THE CHANGE. You are wonderful.
The course is over when a
new academic year starts. Analyzing the past, we are looking into the future…
Hey Natalia! Thank you for you comments! I totally agree with you about the quality of the course content and participants. It was amazing to have a chance to interact and LEARN from such a wonderful group of professionals!
ReplyDeleteAll the best and good luck on your new academic year! We stay in touch.
Pablo.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou have been a distinguished member in the group and even when you got sick you were as active and thoughtful as always. I liked the way you wrapped up the course content and it's my pleasure to keep in touch with a professional like yourself. I like your call for partners for projects likewise and I welcome the suggestion to collaborate with colleagues who are similarly concerned with supervising international projects because I believe that one step forward towards success and teacher development is by probing colleagues cross cultural experiences and reflecting on them.
Smiles,
Omar
