Week 9, part 2

Dear friends,

Packing while accounting. This what I feel doing by the end of the one before the last week of the course. Should I list all the sites I went through and all the lessons I got from each one?

The first thing I would start my list with is a better knowledge of the computer. I usually used my computer to write texts, letter on Word, to search the news, to write my friends, and I also employed Excel to make my computing. I didn't know that it was such a big tool bag for teachers. It caused me lot of troubles when I didn't know how to use the tools it provides My instructors showed me how to handle them. Google knocked my head on the wall very often. Very often it refused my pass word. Fotunately it never took off my e-mail address. So far I did all my assignemnts and I always tried to have my works the shortest and the simplest posible fearing their loss through a wrong maneuver. By the end, I realized that more practice will give me the knowledge of the computer necessary to build the teaching skills through the Interactive Web.

What did I get from the bag? Many sites. They described what learning is, what learners are, what teachers should be and should do, and where the latter should go with or should take the former with the help of technology. All these instruments will help me think about my teaching in my search to meet my students' needs.

The last thing , but not the least is the companionship of the different characters on this stage.I cannot help thanking Deborah, Sandra, and the visitor intructors for their patience and their availabity. The dicussions on Nicenet, the comments on the blogs reinforced the ideas learned through the sites. Besides all of these, we really buid up a community of friendly English teachers, trying to build a real interactive world.

I am packing everything. Everything will be useful. I am ready to share everything with colleagues and with my students.
