Week 10. A bag full of new tools . Off to work!

I can't believe our course is almost over. My expectations were all fulfilled ;  Looking back at  all the projects I made and the tasks I achieved, I feel quite proud of myself. At times, I thought I was not going to be able to make it. But collaborative work and an encouraging instructor made things much easier and entertaining.
Sharing posting , ideas, projects and experiences was certainly  valuable and enriching  . There was always something new I learnt from my classmates.
My Christmas gift!

One piece of advice I would give to newcomers is create your  Delicious  account from the very beginning . You will see how fast your account "gains weight" with so many delicious treats !

By the end of this last week and close to Christmas , I feel I graduate with a bag full of new tools that now I will have to start using ...

The Web  has so much to offer us ... It's now our challenge to start exploring new ways to learning and teaching !

Week 9: Technology and learning styles and multiple intelligences

Time has flown incredibly fast ! It's now the end of week 9 and I have already submitted my action plan .
Pairing up with one of our classmates to peer-read our projects was an enriching and valuable experience . Margarita, my peer, provide illuminating and positive  comments that certainly helped me improve my final project.

This week we had to read about learning styles and multiple intelligences. I must admit that both topics are not at all new to me as I cover them thoroughly in my methodology courses. However, I did find some interesting resources that I also added to my delicious , such as the article from the New York Times entitled Forget what you know about good study habits  and the Teacher Tap site.
