Final reflexion

I have found all the tools very interesting, but I think that I will have to wait for another year to use them with my students because nowadays I’m teaching to infants. Nevertheless, I think that most of them could be used in the third cycle of primary. I think that the main tool could be the blog and the other tools could be used inside this one. As far the treasure hunt, podcasting, videos are concern, in my opinion are very good tools to motivate the students and involve them in the tasks. As you see I didn’t mention wikis, because although I did the activity and I understood the way to complete it, I can’t see the way to use it with primary students.
I consider all the recourses of the course very useful and I’m sure I will use them again and again when using these tools. Apart from the teacher resources, I think that the work done by the other peers has been very enriching for me. Sometimes, when you see the work done by peers that share your interests, you realise and you learn other ways or you get ideas to use the tools. I have to admit, that I did’t interact with my peers as much as I would like to just for the lack of time but I recognise that I have learned a lot from them. And of course Sonia, I have to tell you thank you for your patience, and thank you again for being there when I needed your help.
