Going back nine weeks, I remember the first week when I was struggling to understand all the assignments. I felt for a moment that I could not do it, but as weeks passed, I progressed, improved, and realize that when you have a will there is nothing impossible. Shortly, it was a great experience. I learned many new methodologies that will turn a teacher- centered class into a motivating student- centered one. Students are involved and worked enthusiastically. Their skills improved because they extend the use of English outside the classroom. Nicenet, blogs, delicious page, the interactive power point presentation, rubrics, and using activities and interactive exercises from websites are very interesting. All these topics were so useful to me. I integrate some in my class and will integrate others in the near future. Moreover, all the articles and websites such as ANVILL were so beneficial and informative. With the use of technology learning and teaching English is more motivating and challenging from both teachers and students. The webinar we had with Jeff was informative and valuable, and cooperation and collaboration in our project report was a helpful experience. All in all, even though the course was only ten weeks, I felt that I learned a whole year great experience. Thanks for Donna and her great work. I would like to thank all my colleagues for sharing their experiences and for their cooperation. It was a pleasure working with them all, and I wish we will keep in touch. Best wishes for all!Regards,
Karen
