I'm starting my first blog today. I´m also starting a new adventure in my life: an adventure I have postponed for a long time...but, I can no longer delay.
As a player in this huge stage, the world, I have to perform well.
This course is going to help me perform better in school. Moreover, it will help me update concepts, procedures, skills...On the long run, it will help me improve my teaching and reach the students in their diversity.
Today in class, I learned that not all my classmates are technology skilled (what a relief), including me, of course. I was a little nervous at first, but I felt relaxed later. The proffessor contributed to "lower my affective filter" (Krashen) with his warm attitude and comments. I appreciated this very much. Thank you Ariel!
I had the opportunity to become familiar with other technological devises some classmates brought to class. The professor brought a "tablet." I´ve seen them only in pictures before and today I touched it. I felt clumsy with it and was affraid I could break it (it is very expensive).
I have to admit, at some point of the class I felt overwhelmed with the concepts. I also have very clear in my mind, that I am not a digital native. So, I'm not going to worry about asking or making comments out of place any more. I just want to learn and have fun at the same time...
After all, isn't it what this course is about anyway?
Regards,
Marcela

Hi Marcela!
ResponderEliminarIt is really motivating to see that you are giving your best, that you are enjoying and that you are finding the way to success! I liked and admire your positivism! Definitely, you are one of our key and essential members in our class.

Hello professor
EliminarThank you for your nice comment.
Let me tell you, I just came from the TEDxED session at Museo de los niños. Technology was there, of course.
I heard interesting points of view that I will address later in the forum.

Hi Marcela!
ResponderEliminarNice read, and wonderful quote. We're merely players with powerful reasons to be here on Earth. Nothing happens just because.
As to your glogster, you encouraged me to design several for my favorite writer and his new book.He commented the first one I did on his blog. Take a look
