Last week

I don't like saying goodbye and I'm quite emotional now that our online course is over. 
It feels so strange that although we are people from different countries, languages, religions and beliefs, we have so much in common and share the same worries and interest for our job, teaching EFL. We've all learned from each other, at least I have and I'd like to believe that sb has learned sth from me as well.
It's been geat working with you and Robert. I will really miss you guys.
Love,
Angela

One week before the end of our course

My team has found the treasure at the treasure hunt game which is organized in my town. We've celebrated enough, and in the mean time, I've sent my final project plan to Robert. I hope he'll find it satisfactory as the time was limited this week!!!
We’ve explored Multiple intelligencies, activist  learners, reflector learners, theorists, pragmatists etc. Several learning styles, several paces, several teaching methods. It is true that each teacher should keep his/her eyes open in order to find out the students' needs. Then, he/she can modify his/her teaching in order to appeal to the students' needs and the goal of the course.
The best way to make the most of each learning group is to use Educational Technology . By having the students work on webquests, chat rooms, class websites, blogs etc, they are asked  to use several skills and abilities they have, thus acquiring as much as possible from each course.

P.S. I’ve  just tried the multiple intelligences quiz to my son and I found out that he is a Mathematic, logical type of student. I wish he liked learning foreign languages as well!!! 

That's all for now.
