Week 9

It has been a tiring , stressful week for me . I had to prepare tests for 5 classes and correct about 240 sheets . My computer caused some problems , another virus , other problems to overcome .
I could finally download ‘ Hot potatoes ‘ ( strange name , isn’t ii ? ) . I had a lot of troubles getting familiar with but I could at least create a cross- words game and I had a lot of fun working with it . The other participants did very good work and I was surprised once more by their computer skills , their performances , their teaching skills . Now I’m afraid the end of the course will leave an empty space .I’m sure we’ll keep on collaborating . Maybe one of the objectives of the course was creating a web , a community of teachers from all over the world , collaborating , helping each other and working as a team for the improvement of their teaching and for the introduction of technology in their classes , creating an atmosphere of autonomous learning , a learner- centered class where learners from different learner styles get responsible for their learning . This course is going to path the way to more technology use in our own classes and why not allow us to communicate what we have learn to colleagues in our respective schools and countries . When I think about all the lovely people I’ve known and all the useful hints and teaching materials I’ve learnt thanks to this course , all what I can say is that I’m a lucky woman , I’m a lucky teacher .
