Week 9
WOW I've done it! I've uploaded my project report! It seems as yesterday I was reading reports from previous course participants and thinking how this mission would be impossible for me. As I stated at one of my first blog posts, I'm not so good at writing long essays, journals or projects. I do have ideas and ways to implement them, but sometimes I am not confident enough if I explained the project process so well. Georgia and Justin have helped me and said I was on the right way which I hope is true. Anyway, besides the project report, the most important thing is that I have finished the project itself successfully and that I am satisfied with the results. What I haven't stated in the report was something that happened just yesterday. One group asked me to prepare one more dance, to describe it and actually perform it by the end of the term and the second group (the one whose video I posted on WebQuest) told me that they are going to be even better for European day of languages celebrated in September and that they plan to collaborate with one boy, my former student, who is good at dancing and they are going to practice on regular basis. I was amazed especially since children don't have enough physical activities these days, but rather spend time playing computer games.
This week has also been my favourite regarding the resources given and the next step is going to be creating a 'delicious' stack of useful links leading to articles on multiple intelligences.
I will miss this course, these people and I will have somehow have to prepare myself for the course ending.
Meanwhile I have to relax and I suggest you do the same.

Yep! We did it Maria!
ReplyDeleteMost of us finish on time, I’m happy because you succeed in your dance project, which by the way I liked very much!
It is crazy but for me is easier to work on the essays and things like this than in the hands on projects, but that is another topic for the future, meanwhile I am going to follow your wise advice, I am going to relax for this weekend.
I love the video you post, it is now part of my car’s soundtrack, see you soon Maria!
I'll miss the course too, but we are going to folow in touch!
Hi, Maria!
ReplyDeleteWe worked hard on our projects and now they are ready. I read the projects of our colleagues and found necessary things for me to finish my own project.
It is a very useful activity for our collaboration in our learning environment.
All solutions are very creative and interesting. I got to know other ideas of teaching with the technology and I like them very much. Besides I can use these ideas in my future teaching.
I only continue to admire our learning strategies.
Have a good weekend!
Thank you both, Poncho and Svetlana, for sharing your thoughts on my blog. We all managed to finish our projects and that is fantastic! I'm glad you loved the video Poncho, it is one of those catchy songs that I can listen over and over again.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right Svetlana, reading other projects can help use use technology in many different ways in the future. As soon as I get some rest during the holidays I will explore each project and enjoy further experimenting with technology.
Thank you and you too enjoy the weekend and the last week of the course :(
Marija....be honest with me! I haven't helped you at all! Even in the least bit! Your project was perfect from the very beginning! And I am glad that you made it and you are happy with your results!!! So...Relax!!! and dance to the rhythm!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you DID help me and since I am a stubborn scorpio, there is no way you could convince me that you didn't. :) Thank you once again :) I will relax and dance for sure :) Feel free to join me :)
DeleteDear Marija,
ReplyDeleteIt is so wow to finally submit my final report.
It's been so great to share and exchange good ideas with people from different countries.
I guess how to realize "Smart Education" in the classroom remains an unsolved but a worthwhile question.
I hope you have found the right answer.
Thank you.
Hannah
Dear Hannah,
DeleteAs you said, sharing and meeting people from different countries is as valuable experience as the course itself.
I wish we could meet online again sometimes in the future, at least once a year and share our ideas.
All the best and join the dance! :)
I loved the marriage proposal on your Oregon page, Marija! How delightfully fun that was!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't gotten to the webquest dance - I'm a bit behind!!
Jodi
Rarely anyone I know stayed 'cool' while watching that proposal. It is full of love, energy and creativity, that I can only wish something similar :)
DeleteI know you are busy, especially now when you need to read over 20 reports. Take your time and I hope you will like the webquest and the students' works presented.
