FiNALLY

Well, at the beginning of this online course, I thought that was very easy for the teacher be behind a computer and try to evaluate her students with activities and readings; but my experience trying to develop an online course was very different. It is hard to try to create interesting activities that catch the attention of each student, because could be boring for them be in the computer all day. During the creation of my online course I really learn how to make an online website and how to administrate it; at the beginning was very hard to understand all the functions that we can get from the internet; now I would say that I am an online teacher expert.

Sometimes I was very frustrated because I read and read the instructions and I didn’t understand what the teacher really wants.

All the topics, documents, files, etc, in the course were organized and it was very easy to found the assignments and the readings. Also the “Discussion Board” was organized by units.

I conclusion, this course was very important because shows different ways to teach to our students. Nowadays, as teachers it is vital to be active and update.

Unit 3 process

The develop of the writings in the unit 3 was very useful as students of the Licenciatura en Docencia de Idiomas; because during this online course we were learning about how to be an online teachers and also how to develop the activities as a student.

I really think that all the activities were very important during the unit 3, because each one represent some aspect of the teacher’s life. Here we can learn how to apply the different activities to our future e-learners.

If we didn’t read carefully the instructions of the e-tutor, all the activities were very complicated for some of us; but we finally learn how to follow indications.

In conclusion, the unit 3 was as the teacher describes in the initial plan of the course. I was very surprised because in the list of activities, the teacher gives us the description of the activity and the approximated time to do each activity and she was right; I finish each activity in the time that the teacher give. This is the proof that the teacher really knows how to guide this course.
