The end of a path is always the beginning of a new one

I cannot believe that we are at the end of our class. It is a bit sad to think about it, but at the same time I am really excited to see how we are all going to apply our new knowledge into our new teaching style. I wish we could all get online a year from now to share what we have done and what needs to be done still.

I enjoyed all of the topics. At the beginning I was even scared of using the computer for this. It sounds kind of silly but is true.

There are way too many things to be thankful for in this course. I have seriously learnt a lot from you Sandra, Deborah and all of my classmates. I also realized that I am missing lot of experience when it comes to teaching itself. I now have all the tools that I need to make myself a better teacher and to challenge myself on daily bases to get better, much better.

I am so thankful for this opportunity and I would love to be a part of another class in the future, this was my first experience and once more I should say that I loved it!

All of the topics were somehow relevant to me and I have learnt a lot from them. I have just finished printing all of the material that was given to us, so I will always have a booklet in hand to see if there is anything that I am missing out or that could be improve.

I am so looking forward to the beginning of the next term here in my Institute to apply all of these new things.

Towards the End

It is amazing how fast time passes one by. I remember starting this course feeling so afraid and being a technology illiterate. So many things that I did not know anything about were too scary to me.

Week after week without even realizing it I picked up new tools, things that were so complicated in paper became so easy to me once I used them. I dare myself each week and felt happy and proud of myself at the end, after watching my new accomplishment and sharing it with all of my mates. However, I should also admit that I have learnt a lot from all of my mates and I am a much better teacher thanks to this course and them. I cannot thank them enough for all the useful tools, websites and personal experiences shared throughout this wonderful experience.

I will so much like to keep in touch with all of the people in this class, is fascinating to see how different English can be taught in the whole wide world and is even more great to discover new things to always make us better teachers.

Thanks for all of this experience.

A new and in my case unusual week

A new week of new and great experiences has ended. It feels so weird, I would just like to share that I am now a wife and proud of this. I feel like I am living a dream. However, I realize that I have a long way to go in this course still and I am looking forward to this last stage of a class that has shared so much with me, with us. This past week I analyzed life in a very different way, I evaluated myself as a person, as a teacher and more recently as a wife. I so want to be not just good, but the best I can in all the things that I do. I hope I can catch up with all of my classmates this coming week and be able to do just as good as I was doing. Getting married is a once in a life thing, that is why I wanted to do it the best I could. Thanks for reading and understanding.
