Week 1: learnings and reflection

Creating a blog using blogspot has been a relatively easy task to complete, as I have used a gmail account for years. This means I didn't have to create an account, it was already available for me to use. I have created other blogs in the past, but I have rarely come back and update any entries, for several reasons, namely lack of time, topics being too specific or outdated now, among others.

This is actually the first time that I have consciously thought of creating a blog for educational purposes other than asking my students to read my posts and react to them. I think that using the blog for self-reflection and for organizing my thoughts on teaching implies an innovative way of taking advantage of technology.

In terms of my competencies using technology (technological skills per se) I feel I haven't learned anything new. However, and most importantly, I have learned how to look at blogs in a different way, with potential other uses in my EFL class.

This is it so far. Warm regards, Audy.
