My blogs and more comments

Hello everyone,

Way to go! for all the people that are entering comments. I finished all the assignment and I’m trying to finish another course I have on weekdays. I’m also trying to get back on my thesis because I couldn’t work on it a lot from September to now due to all the courses I was taking. I have one course to go and my thesis. Humm! Basically, from April to now, I almost completed all  my courses.

I have created additional Blog pages for presentations I have given and also for all my classes. My students love them. I am also posting pictures with flickr and students are very excited to see the pictures.  Here is the link.

I have created a few Wikis to use the calendar feature. It’s great and easy to update.

Lift (Spanish session)

Today I presented the session: “All you can learn Spanish in one day.” I hope the participants use the blog page. I will see how effective the page is the following weeks. The teachers were very happy to have the page to practice Spanish. I found that using all this technology to enrich your teaching practice is great for us as teachers and great for students. Student become independent learners and take ownership on their learning.

Now, I’m very tired, so I will leave you all. I need to sleep!  I haven’t done this since September.
