Course is over

Yes, this is the final post in this blog. For now, at least.

We've learned lots of interesting things in this course, called "Building teacher skills through the interactive web". That was a good title, since that is what we've been doing. We've been practising with the interactive web, with its use and methodology to improve our teacher skills. In my case, the teacher training skills.

After reading the messages of the discussions, I can say that we've all learned and built our teacher skills.

Some issues were new to me, some were not. But anyway, all were interesting, and all relevant.

My final sentence is a thank you to Donna Shaw. She's done a magnificent job and I wish all the best to her.

Final draft of the project

This week we've uploaded the final draft of the project. It's been an interesting way of doing it, since we've needed to send it first to another participant and with the new suggestions, build the final draft.

My partner for the project has been Alex Suárez, and I appreciate very much what she said I could do better. This way of working needs to be adapted to the center where I work.

On the other hand, this week's has been on learning styles and multiple intelligences. That is a topic of great interest to me. I've read a lot by Howar Gardnder, and recently, his book "Five minds for the future". And I can say that (also after some training on neuro-linguistic programming), we are all different. All of our minds work differently, and so, learn differently. As teachers, it is a challenge to know all this in order to be able to reach each and everyone of our students. They deserve it if we want to make a better world.

The course is coming to an end, I'm afraid. I've already sent the course evaluation. It is a great pity and, after some doubts at the beginning, I'm happy for having taken part on it.
