We are definitely not traditional teachers anymore. That traditional nature changed the moment we started to think of ourselves as more than teachers who impart "knowledge" to our students. We are following a new path now, seeking new opportunities to learn, to grow as individuals and become better persons and better professionals. If you ask me what I have learned this week, I would say that I have remembered that being devoted to teaching is such a complex process that we can never stop working, learning and reflecting about it. This week we had access to a variety of activities that can bring interactivity to our classes. We read about using Power Point presentations interactively, and I remembered the reason why I stopped using them so often in the first place. I agree with the writers that many many times that resource has become but a dreadful tool that brings the traditional class back to our classrooms when teachers use it a lecture tool that will sometimes make their students drowsy. I know that's how I feel when I am a student in such classes. Therefore, using Power Point presentations interactively can actually motivate students to participate actively in the process. I personally like to use Prezi simply because it's a new tool that has a lot of movement, and it's very easy to use. However, just like any other tool, it cannot be over used or if used inappropriately, it will be another useless tool, in my opinion.

Well, this week I started to work no my final project. As you already know, I intend to implement a googlesite so that my students have a chance to practice beyond the classroom. To make that happen, professor Robert was kind enough to provide me with some information regarding the use of googlesites. I also looked for tutorials online to learn how to use it properly. After that, I was able to prepare the site myself. At least, I was able to prepare my first draft and the site schema is ready. I added the course description as well as several pages for the 16 weeks of class we have this semester. I will continue now to add files and links to help my students maximize their learning process. I'll let you know how that goes.

I really appreciate professor Robert's help during this process. Taking this course has opened my eyes on many different ways, and I know that my students will benefit from my own learning process.

Regards!!!
