Hello everyone
During this week we worked on our final project (we exchanged drafts), we had interesting discussions about tools for enhancing learning and I created a site to work online with my class, we described it in our wiki page, I liked the activities we had, many good ideas from teachers around the world, I like my class, they are great. we had access to different pages for example: the hot potatoes page, english online, a page for puzzles, and some other interesting sites, all of them will indeed help us with our final project, I am so excited about it, I hope everything goes well for all of us.
In general I believe this was a productive week, it's a pitty that in two more weeks this will end, time flies, I hope to keep in touch with my collegues, they are excellent teachers.
Cheers!!

week 7
This is week 7 already
Time flies, I have read in other blogs, and this week was so interesting, we had discussions on Learner Autonomy, one-computer classroom and mobile devices, both topics are very interesting, there was a lot of interesting material for us to read.
During this week, we also posted material in our class padlet, which I think is a very useful tool for our students, about anything related to Learner Autonomy, and the other topic we also discussed on nicenet, I would like to mention that my classmates are very active in their participations, I really like my class, this week we had a guest, whose name is Jodi, she is from the University of Oregon and she joined our discussion on nicenet.
Finally, I want to add that we started working with parthners to share and give feedback to our final projects, I am very excited about this, I hope we all do it alright.

week 6
Hello world
This week (last week actually) was very interesting, to be honest; I have used power point before, but this time I found new features I had never imagined, I learned to crate a jeopardy game using powerpoint, it was very nice, my students loved it, I also encourage some of them to create their owns, this is how: here.
I also learned how to create an interactive quizz: here, I think that if we include some elements in our powerpoint presentations they will become more powerful and we will engage our students attention, it works, really, I have done it.
This week was wonderful, It is a pity I could not post on due time because of technical problems, but here it is.
Thank you everybody for posting comments I really appreciate your time

Week 5
Hello
This week was very interesting, I read information on how to create a webquest , I also looked at different webquests and I finally created my first webquest: here. I found new ideas on how to work with my classes using different tools, something that I really like is the way teachers work using PBL. During this week, we also used a powerful tool to create rubrics for our students. I created a task and I added the rubric for that task, the page is: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/.
Anyways this week has been great in terms of learning, I am more excited about my final project, I found several tools I can use, I think that is going to be difficult for me to select a tool for my class, but I think I have one in mind, and this is nicenet.org. Let's see how it works, this week I created a new class in this page and I wrote my first post. I hope it works for my class.

Week 4
Hello world
This week has been wonderful, in a very personal way, I would like to say that: I just recieved a letter from an international organization (wolrdfund and Rassias Center in Dartmouth College N.H. USA) inviting me to apply to be an Advance Trainer. I know that this is something else, and it has nothing to do with this wonderful course I am taking part of, but I can't hold it in my chest, sorry jejeje.
Anyways, this week was pretty busy, we worked on our final project by describing our learners and a situation that might be solved with technology, but the instructions were clear, look for a problem first not for a solution, the problem will determine the solution, we also worked on lesson plans and readings about technology integration in our classes, we also explored several webs for different purposes:
Reading and vocabulary
multi-skill websites
articles related to CALL
This week has been wonderful... I enjoyed it ;)
