The end of a journey...

is the beginning of another one!

It's amazing how fast these 10 weeks passed.
I don't have words to express how much I appreciate the opportunity I've had of being in contact with such a diverse group of incredible professionals and people. I've learned a lot not only regarding technology and teaching but also about life, culture, etc.

I really believe that this is not the end of the journey, but the beginning. We now have to put into practice all the things we've been learning and shared them with our colleagues in our schools, institutions, cities and countries.

I hope we keep in touch to share more and more resources, material and experiences, as well as to keep encouraging one another in this wonderful profession we've chosen.


Thanks to all of you!! Robert, partners, guest teachers, University of Oregon and the USA Embassy in Uruguay for this unforgettable experience!!
I hope nobody feels left aside with the picture, I tried to find the one containing most of the languages =)

Greetings!!

Learning Styles and Final Project




We are getting to an end...these weeks have flown away!

Last week we discussed a lot about learning styles and Multiple Intelligences. Some people were in favor of these theories and others had some complaints about them.

It was a very interesting week including fruitful discussions and exchange of ideas. thanks to the interesting and meaningful dialog I had with some partners, I could review my believes regarding these topics. The context in which wach of us works, shapes the way we teach and face our teaching strategies, learners and the choices we make. It's been a real plasure to be able to learn from others' experiences and I really appreciate all of you for helping me grow as a professional.
We also submitted our final project, and this is another reason to be grateful for. While reading my partners projects and completing the checklist I could learn a lot. My teaching was improved not only by the comments my partners gave on my poject, but also by my reading of theirs.
