Getting Started-First Week

I am really excited with this online class!



First of all I want to mention that when I received the notice of acceptance for this class I was out of town and I did not have my personal computer with me during those days.  On Saturday night coming back from touristic activities, I stopped by the hotel’s business center to use a computer. When I opened the email with the acceptance notice, I was so happy that I could not believe it!  I woke up Monday morning and I went downstairs again to use the computer and I even changed my plans of tourism for that day to get started with the class.



For me, getting to know the people involved in the class and having the first contact with my instructor was essential. I started to navigate through the main website, reading the objectives per week and understanding how this class was going to work. It was a great experience.



I am really impressed with all my online classmates and very honored to be part of this class. Also I am having a lot of fun creating this my first teacher blog. It is very interesting to use the blog as a journal. I just do not want to stop writing. I wish my students can experience the same effect to be motivated to develop their second language writing skills.

  1. Welcome Aida Villalobos,
    Your site looks great, its backgound is attractive if you like antiques as I do. I hope to get to know you better during these 10 weeks and be able to share information on how to use this world of EdTech. I may suggest you to add some gadgets to allow others to follow you. Have a great beggining.
