Week Six and Project Task

Well there is no better way of starting the week that trying to implement something new. So I took my computer with me and I started to check the internet connection. I realized the WIFI signal was not as strong as I was expecting. The walls were blocking the signal. For a second I felt discouraged. However it did not take long for me to start thinking about other ways to use the Webquest.  I talked to the IT guy about what I was planning to do and he suggested me to use a signal repeater. A WiFi repeater is used to extend the coverage area of a WiFi network. It works by receiving the existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. With a WiFi repeater it id possible effectively double the coverage area of the WiFi network so reaching far corners of at home or office, different floors, or even extend the coverage to the yard.  I said to him “if the device is expensive I won’t get approval from the financial department”. At least I have a chance to change the situation. I went into the process to ask for it. And while I was waiting for the answer I decided to star downloading some of the resources from the WebQuest and try to get the videos from YouTube to get started with my students. The surprise was that I did not find the resources link activated on the WebQuest. The result I could not really work with it this week.  I tried during different days and I was not successful. I needed to work with plan B.

At least the week did not have a bad ending even if I did not accomplished what I originally was planning; the financial department approved the buy.

Do you know what an achievement is that?
