Also very thankfull with Robert who has alsways been there for all of us helpnig us with everthing, giving us suggestions and making us work correctly.

Quito-Ecuador.

Once again I can`t post on my friends blogs

I don`t know why but I still have that problem, anyway I read some interesting blogs and all of us have the same felling, we`ve learned a lot and we`ll be missing the course.

Week nine and final project.

I feel so happy that everthing I did on my project I did it correctly, alos verty happy to have learned many things to incorporate in my classes, the final discussion on NICENET was about the different learningf styles, that was a very interesting topic, that made me realised the importance of having and appliying the wright techniques and resources according to the different leasrners abilities and interests.

We have to be awared of the new changes that technology bright to the teachers, learn about them and make sure to put them in practice while we teach.

All the steps we followed to finish the final project helped us to be aware of the students needs, undertand what they want and what they llike to do in the class, aslo the way they like to learn by using technology.

Trouble posting my comments on my friends`blogs.

 I don`t know whàt`s happening but  I can`t post any comments on my friends`blogs I dont`know why, I was checking and it seems to be that I`m not the only one.
Can somebody help us, and I hope it wont affect our grades.

Greetings

Have a nice week

Eight Week and Project Draft.

This week has been very interesting, discovering and reviewing about some differet ways to create test, games, hand outs, and many more nice activities that are usefull for the classes.

Talking about the prject draft, I gave to say that it was a nice opportunity to expresse and share to other people how classes in Ecuador are, so that they can learn a little bit about the Ecuadorian culture.

Also the project draft was a nice help to focuse more one what the final project will be.

In this very moment I am in a family reunion, which take place one a week very month and I amm siiting on a sofa writing this comment to my blog, I usually never mix my duties with my family things but I know that later I wont have time to do it.

Seventh Week Reflection.

As I was reading in some other blogs, I am very excited, too to be almost at the end of such a great on line course, I can`t believe it, tomorrow we`ll start week number eight, and with it, we have to be finishing our projects, well mine is on the way.

I still have to write some things which I think will be fine on my project, and also I am not sure about what kind of technology I´m going to use.

By the way, it is going to be nice to be reading another person`s draft and I have to read Santiago´s

I have to get ready for the most difficult part of the cours I think.

A nice week for everyone.

Powerfull week 6.

As week 6 is ending up, I feel so happy and proud of the power point presentation I made, first due to its difficulty because I didn`t know how to incorporate videos in a slide presentation, I was asking to some friends for information about it and the explained to me, it wasn´t so difficautl as I thought and as it was at the beginning for me.
I was checking on some other works made by my webpals and I`m really impressed about how well the use power point and about the many links they have used which is fantastic.
Also It was nice to be chatting about issues that teachers have in our daily activities, and of course how to solve them.

Nice week.

Jorge.

Week number 5

It has been a nice week, we had the chance to interact and recieve suggestions from another very experienced web teacher, Carl, all the web students had a wanderful time shearing thoughts and experiences, which was encouraging and very useful for us, we talked about interesting topics.
The project is progressing and very soon we will be more concentrated on it.
Let`s keep going on!!!

Week 5, it seems to be a bit difficult.

I was just checking and reading about project-based learnong and WebQuests. at first sight it seems difficult because I have never used or visited thoses web pages before, so I don`t know how to use them or create one for me.
Anyway, it is imprtant for me to read more and more about these web sites to get more familiar and learn how to use them.
I wish good luck to myself.

Techonology in our classes.

It is wolrd wide known that techonolgy and education have to be holding hands, but saddly it is not always possible.
Some countries including mine don`t have the techological resources that are necessary to offer the appropriate education.
Govenments from all the world should be concerned about this educational issue, which affects thousends of students, well I say only in Ecuador, but in the rest of south american countries this problem may be similar.
Education is very important for the progress of a country and  good education will generate good profesional which means progress.
I hope some day this really change and investment in education grow up significally so we can be competitive in this techological and globalized world.

Midweek 4

Well, so far it has been a nice week, now I got my password which was missing, Thank you so much Roberrt for giving us such wonderfull web sites with all that great information, I read som articles but for weekend I will have read most of them, they are interesting and helpfull for me.
I don`t know want your opinoin about my classroom is, maybe you might think that it is a dessaster, but disregarding all the negative aspects, I love working there, students give all of them to learn.

Kinda difficult third week

I am really sorry to have missed this post.
I forgot my pasword but now I have it so I can write post on my blog, despite this, I`m having a nice time shearing information and discovering new things for my classes.

What a second midweek!!

I have had the opportunity to visit some nice liks to check about teaching tools to use in my class, a lot of them are really great.
Also I have learned how to make real and correct objectives, well, I am in process yet, but anyway, it is not so difficult as I thought it would be. Thnaks to some good examples that we have onm line I will learn soon.
There are some aspects that we need to have in mind when we want to make good objectives. It is very important to identify the common errors that we may have the moment we make objetcives.
Now I can notice the real importance of making objectives for a class, they are the goals that we have to achieve with our students, that is why objectives need to be clear.

First experiences.

I have to say that this week I have learned many things about blogs, it was not easy though. That is the reason why I am posting this message so late.I have never done this before.
I am totaly sure that things will be easier from now on. It is nice to know about people from all around the world and thier experiences being teachers, it is a good way to share ideas and maby teaching tips to use in our classes.
