Building Teacher Skills Through the Interactive Web

THANKS!!!

Wow! It’s been long since the last time I prepared a writing for you Donna! I have to admit that this one is way in overdue, but it is for me a lot more meaningful. I really enjoyed the course I had the chance to participate in, I want to be very emphatic on that: I enjoyed every single minute of it in countless ways and levels.

First and foremost I’d like to apologize with you since I did not take the moment to express what I really wanted to. I really had a good time through the whole course. I had the chance to meet such special people all related to the educational field, which made me experience what to teach in other countries with completely different scenarios is like. I was able to give an amazing refreshment to my teaching skills, abilities, techniques and methods. I was put into and took advantage of a great deal of knowledge that I was not aware of. I interacted with great professionals (students and tutors) in a very educational context which is priceless but very valuable for any teacher who feels passion for his/her profession.

Now, as I said before, in overdue, I would like to thank you for being the leader of this great experience that I lived. There were some odds by the end of the program, but your words made me keep on to the end. I had been away from work and home for personal reasons, but now that I’m back I received my certificate with your signature. I really hope that it is the first of many! I am not sure of the process that I have to follow to start some other different courses, but continuing with them is my goal. I read a very wise thought once: “learning is a never-ending process”, that is as true as the fact that I really want to continue learning through these great on-line courses that provide much more than knowledge, it is a great experience full of enrichment on both, personal and professional levels.

Donna, thank you very much! I am sorry for thanking you this late, I needed to do it. I also wanted to share with you this picture that is very special for me. This is the group of students that I used to put into practice all the knowledge I acquired with you. The end of last year was not easy for me. I had to be away for personal reasons, from both work and home, but then I came back and I wanted to show how grateful I feel for the experience of the course as a whole, having the certificate in my hands. This is only one group out of the six groups that I have under my control. They did not know what was happening exactly, I didn’t tell them about the course while it was in progress. It was at the end of it when I explained them that all the new activities I was using to evaluate them had been learnt in this on-line course. They were surprised when they saw the certificate and excited about the fact that they had been part of the whole thing. The lady with me is teacher Cyndi Moleiro, she is one of the coordinators in the institution where I work and one person I owe a lot for the immeasurable help I have received from her. She has made me grow a lot, professionally speaking. 

Thank you once more Donna! I hope I “see” you again soon in another course or similar experience. I really do! Thanks for your patience and knowledge shared! I hope you like the picture!
