I am loving this course. One of my goals with my students last year was to integrate more technology and interactive activities in the classroom, but I didn't accomplish as much as I wanted. Most of the time I used the Smarboard and some online sites. I feel that all the activities we have been doing so far can definitely be used with my students. I believe that teachers can accomplish a lot through technology. We can teach, practice and assess using different tools that relate to the kids and that make learning more interesting, interactive and fun.
I just finished my digital story and I decided to take my own pictures instead of using online materials. Well, I just used a few, but I have to confess that I really enjoy taking my own pictures, using the resources I had available and developing my creativity. I was very proud of my work and I think the students will love to do something like that to enhance their writing and speaking skills.
I just wish we had more time. It has been very challenging to me because we have a lot to cover in such a short period of time. I am afraid that I will be forgetting half of the things we learned, but I am glad we have your website available in case we need to review what we practiced in class. I think you and Dan have been very helpful and prompt to answer my questions in class and via e-mail, and I think your website is very organized and have all the tools we need to put many projects in practice.
Thanks!
