Week 2

There was about an hour left to write about what I have experienced during these weeks in the Webskills Course. I had been procrastinating that post because there were still too many thoughts storming in my mind and I really wanted to picture my experience in detail.

In two weeks I have read every post (and there are so many posts)  my classmates had published telling their experience about every topic. The greatest of these readings is that I have realized that even when  we are in different parts of the world, the  teaching - learning process behave almost the same everywhere.

Writing Objectives are not part of my tasks since I switch from being an elementary teacher to be a virtual tutor.  Virtual teaching environment has a lot of advantages and since I am teach virtual courses I left behind all the tasks a room teacher does like for example planning, writing objective and so forth.

Then Sean, my professor, assigned us to read and write about ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives. These new words came up while I was reading: audience, behavior, conditions, degree; one by one they have a meaning I already knew, but the four together meant something totally different: an objective that explains exactly who, what, how and it is going to be achieved in the class.

New things to learn, new tools to work, more knowledge; words that describe my course in the second week.

Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops.
