Well, this has definitely being an incredible week. Regardless of the many personal difficulties I had to face, I was able to complete week 2. I do not know where to start. I am the kind of person who is always looking for new things, trying to be updated in this century where everything and everyone is obsolete after a week; or at least that's what I feel most of the time. That triggers my appetite for more information and new learning experiences that my students and I will enjoy and benefit from.
After completing week 2 I can say that I still have a lot to learn and many roadblocks to jump, but I am eager and happy to do it when I know that at the end my students will be the ones learning, having fun and getting the proper treatment and the best methodologies to help them be better learners.
This week I understood the importance of not only writing effective and correct objectives, but also the significance of making sure the 4 aspects (ABCD) are present in every objective because as I usually say to my students "If you don't know where you are going, you will never get there" which also applies to this experience. If I don't write accurate objectives, my students will not know what's expected of them and therefore their learning experience  will be affected. Moreover, I need to know where I am going and what I expect from them in order to achieve the best results.
I am already dreaming about the final project, thinking about the zillion possibilities I can incorporate in this new experience. I know that I have to be patient, and I promise to be patient, but I am already wearing my "thinking cap" so to speak.

Thanks for the wonderful experience which I know will continue to grow and grow and grow.

God bless!!!

  1. Roxy, that positive attitude and that thirst for knowledge will get you far. As for the ABCD objectives, I agree - they are very important. You say: "If you don't know where you are going, you will never get there" and it is true, both for the students and for the teacher.

    I am sure your final project is going to be great.
