Dear all,
This 10-week online training course for English Language Teachers (ELTs) has helped me to build skills in English language teaching with technology. All the contents, tasks, readings and activities has enable us to understand and use appropriate technology to enhance the learning environment and outcomes for our classes.
All the contents studied in the webskill course were interesting, useful and applicable in our classes. I liked the topic where we reflect on the importance of analyzing students´needs before planning and selected what technology tools to use. Additionally, stating clear objectives by using the ABCD method was something new for me but helped me to identify abservable learning indicators to plan my classes in a better way.
I will try to use all the tech tools that I have learned throughout this course among them:
Nicenet
Webquest
Rubistar
Padlet
Delicious
Blogger
I am impressed about the existance of the array amount of tools that are available for free, we have to keep learning new things to motivate students. I think that it would be good to look ar e- portfolios as tools for learning or evaluation.
Best ,

My dear Alba,
ReplyDeleteWe have learned so much throughout this course. I could say we have been endowed with many different "arms" to address our students' needs. It's up to us to master them all and identify the most appropriate tool to our specific teaching environment.
It has been very pleasant and rewarding to work with you. Thanks for every supportive comment and advice.
Warm regards.

Dear Vital,
DeleteI completely agree with you. This course has taught us more than simple contents, we have met excellent colleagues and friends to continue working together to help each other and to share teaching experiences and ideas to make our classes more interesting and to produce the same effect that I am sure we felt now at the end of this course. We have acquired a lifelong learning.
Warm regards,
Alba
