I am very glad I decided to participate in this course. This is a new experience for me, and also a challenge. Sometimes I used the online materials but did not know how to create them and I wasn’t familiar with the procedure of licensing of copyrighted content.
The course enabled me to get introduced to many new ICT tools. For the first time I participated in an e-course, videoconferences, and for the first time I understand how blogs, forums, Google documents, e-mail, as well as smart phones can be used in the design of instruction. Likewise, although I have been working in education for years, I have not thought about the importance of precisely specified learning outcomes for the purpose of achieving pre-defined competencies.
By attending this e-learning course and observing the activities of other participants, I see the need for greater self-discipline, better planning of time and motivation. Newly acquired knowledge will certainly be applied in my teaching practice.
