WEEK 10: THE LAST WEEK OF OUR E-COURSE

Dear Sandra, Deborah and friends from all over the world,

Our Building Skills course is over. Week 10 - it was the last chance to share ideas with so nice people from all over the world. Thanks to Deborah and Sandra we were guided through constructive discussions and tasks all that time.

This is not the end, this is the beginning of applying the acquired knowledge in the classroom. The students have to witness changes based on working with interactive PowerPoint presentations, WebQuests, posting in blogs, being autonomous learners on the one hand and on the other being able to interact with peers. I learned how to set learning objectives, learning styles, rubrics and learner autonomy. I learned new methods of teaching and exploring websites for creating teachers' materials. Every topic, every piece of information was very useful and valuable for me. I also learned a lot from the experience shared by my coursemates.

I will miss everyone. I hope we will keep sharing ideas and helping each other. Let that not be the end, but the beginning of a long and productive collaboration. Hope our friendship will continue.

I decided to show you some photos from Bulgaria and Stara Zagora, the town I come from. You are welcome to Bulgaria. Come and visit us. I would be glad to meet every one of you.
