WEEK 10, An encouraging ending!!!

Dear Teachers,

Time goes fast, don’t you think so? I remember my first post on NICENET, my first task, and now this astonishing course is just about to finish! It is incredible how much I learned in such a short time. Everything was so interesting, helpful and practical, but what I like the most were the TASKS as I could create technological tools by myself. I never thought I could do it. They were particularly significant because by using them I can change my teaching process. Another thing I really liked was when we met some other people who are making the difference in teaching, for example the editor in chief of FORUM, and the creator of ANVILL.

On the other hand, readings helped me a lot because at the same time I was reading for doing the posts I could enhanced my reading skill. For all the knowledge I acquired during these 10 weeks I want to thank my coordinator Msc. Wilma Zurita from Central University-Ecuador for letting me be part of this online course, our tutor Donna who was always there for helping us and particularly for helping me in facing some issues I got along the course, and you, for sharing your teaching experience. As I said before you all are great teachers, and I think you are making the difference in your classes, taking this course shows it, that is why I want to share this video with you. I hope you enjoy it.

This is my final message to all of you: NEVER GIVE UP!

WEEK 9

Enjoy this video!!

This week has been fruitful. On one hand, because writing my project report let me share what I have learnt in this amazing course and how I applied the new knowledge with my students.

On the other hand, discussing about the multiple intelligences and learning styles has made me think what I am doing to address each of my students’ learning styles? As I have been saying it can be hardworking, but important to be developed during a lesson, because using the right strategy at the  right time can help our students learn the language better and help to make them more independent and autonomous.

According to Gardner's division I am visual-kinesthetic learner, more visual actually, so I need to see and do for learning. Let me share with you an new knowledge with my students. experience. When I was studying to get my university degree I discovered that is my strongest learning style because I could clearly remember what I had written.

And according to Felder’ article I may say I am a global learner. I need to know the results and then I go for the details.

Do YOU know which your  learning style is?
