Week 10: Wrapping things up, reflecting

Warm greetings,

This week was a challenging one, I had a severe bronchitis that almost became the start of pneumonia. It required hospitalization, and observation for a few days. I am now back home, with bruises in my arms because of the administration of medicine via veins.

Back to the topic at hand, this has been a very interesting, entertaining, enlightening course. I have learned quite a few things.

I found all of them quite useful, it is very difficult to pick up one topic in particular. I enjoyed creating exercises for my classes, I actually used them, and they were very empowering.

Of course, one favorite was the creation of a WebQuest, it was my first, but when I used it with my students, despite the fact that the topic referred to a very old music band, my English III students embraced the activity with lots of enthusiasm and energy.

I highly recommend this course to ALL EFL teachers around the world. It is challenging,  very well-organized, and user-friendly.

All the best!!

Week 9: against all odds... even bronchitis, that won't stop me now!

This week is almost drawing to a close, and it is with much sorrow that I announce my being very sick (bronchitis). This has made my delivery of final project meet with a serious delay. Today, being still at the hospital, I am, against my doctor's advice, sitting a little while to post in this blog, which I have learned to appreciate as a wonderful tool.

Since I have been sick, I am posting the final project in a few minutes, unfortunately, without having a chance to review and improve. I hope it meets at least the minimum requirements, I really apologize to my partner, Jason, for not having been able to implement the improvements he so kindly suggested.

Having said this, I am looking forward to reading my classmates' final projects.

Warm greetings
