Final Reflection

Hello Everyone,

It's been quite a term, hasn't it? Between the projects and the tasks we have learned a great deal and even had fun while doing it.
Even though good things come to an end, there are always new paths and roads to take and new challenges to face. When the last week was opened, I was relieved that we had finished the final project and my last post would be very easy but it was the contrary. I was one of the hardest weeks ever to say goodbye and search for new ways to connect with each other after the course had terminated.
The sessions were rewarding and we should be proud of ourselves individually and as a whole class because we accomplished a lot and we got fantastic instructors who guided us throughout the course.
I hope that we can always remain in touch, and why not maybe find ourselves working together again in the future.
I will miss every minute I have spent for this course. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

Week 9: Reflection

Hello everyone,

We are almost there!
Although every week we are given new topics to learn about, I would like to focus this week on what we have created throughout the course. The materials which we have created are quite a lot and it is pity not to share them.  As participants of this course, I think each one of us should have an e-portfolio as instructors through which we can share these created materials. As our e-portfolios can be accessed online, I would also suggest protecting your material with creative commons licenses which provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms for other educators.

Week 8: Reflection

Hello Everyone,

Week 8 has been very tough week for me and I presume some of you had the difficulty to meet the deadlines.

Ok so I will not continue nagging and move to the positive parts which were fascinating.

Although I have missed the webinar on ANVILL and all the interesting parts of it, I would like to thank Jeff Magoto for giving his time and arranging the webinar. I would like to take the opportunity to ask whether it was recorded and how those who missed it can access what they have missed.

Another interesting part of this week was the toold to create online/offline activities.
Personally, I was attracted to the crossword puzzle (http://www.crosswordpuzzlegames.com/create.html). I used the website to create a puzzle for advanced nursing students taking the ESP course.
I have always used the ready-made crossword puzzles and never thought of creating my own. That is why this week I chose to create a puzzle of my own.

For this week also, I would like to thank Rachid for reading my report and write constructive comments on the peer review. It surely helps a lot to know my weaknesses in the report and turn it to a positive result!
