10/8 Week and counting
I love social networks, even when most of the information you gather in them is published according to the user point of view, there are some institutions and companies that had understood that social networks is the fastest ways to connect directly with people. I follow USA Embassy in Panama on Twitter. On Friday, July 19, 2013 they posted about E Teachers On Line program scholarship offer.
Eight weeks ago I wasn't sure about being able to pass this course, as I read the content, the activities and all the assignments seemed to me that time I had to study wasn't enough to do everything. It had been stressing to cope with work and study, but I don't regret any minute I had been siting in front of my computer reading and learning how technology can work to my students and teachers side.
My tutor had been leading us to be teachers and professor with so may sources to be outstanding guides to our students. In my case, as a team leader I feel able to be a multiplier agent so my institution is also blessed with this course.

Week 8 is about to end and I still have to make myself through many activities I haven't finished yet, time is not on my side and so many events had collide in the same point and place and I had been positioned to have no choice than giving work all my time. It makes me feel ashamed because I would like to finish my course in the honor roll; so I wish I would be an octopus to put four arms to work for my institution and the rest to work in my course. To this point, I feel sad, stressed and tired. I had been to other classmate blogs and looks like they drop the course out in previous weeks. They may had had bigger problems than mine; that took me back to my first week quote: crying for having no shoes and there are people who have no feet.
So here I am, trying to unthread the check list and push myself up to catch up. We still have two weeks to come. This may be a learner autonomy momentous, then it is my choice to plan my goal, concentrate, focus and learn.
This is the moment to put on a paper how would I, as a teacher, help my students to overcome a problem using technology; my first draft was about lack of motivation. Now I think that many of our students may have felt in the same position I feel now, so I am trying to find a technology related solution to this case so I can apply it to my class.
Hi Nubia,
ReplyDeleteIt is the first time for me visiting your blog. I like the image you chose for every week's reflection. It is awesome. I absolutely understand how you feel. I am also feeling stress and almost give up. Hope you are getting well with your assignment and work.
Best regards,
