Chargualaf Reflection #1

This past week felt a bit intense.  This is my first online course with the University and it took me a while to learn Moodle.  Then, I was confused about the class blog on Blogger.com and it just set me back a couple of days.  With this being an intersession course and Dr. Rivera not allowing it to be a "watered down" course, things have to be completed quick and on time.  This part is difficult for me because my whole family is on Christmas break (both my husband and I are teachers), and we try to make everyday count with our children. 

With that being said, I'm finally getting the hang of Moodle, and the ED638 class blog.  I have set up my CMS and Personal Tech Blog. I've completed a few other assignments and I am continuing to work on completing more assignments when I find the time.  I find that the blog really helps with giving me ideas with my CMS and it encourages me to try new things and to learn more. Who ever thinks that teachers know everything is absolutely far off.  As a teacher, I find myself learning more and more each day.  Thanks to Dr. Rivera and everyone in the class, I look forward to learning during this Christmas season.

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

    Lani,

    Happy New Year! You're most welcome! Indeed, there's no doubt that you will learn skills and strategies in integrating the Internet as an essential resource in the curriculum. You are doing a great job thus far! Keep it up, and remember that "Learning is ongoing!"

    Best regards,
    Dr. Rivera

    Yes, I agree. It has been very busy and quite overwhelming. I keep trying to find my groove and I'm constantly trying to be more efficient with my time. It is definitely a huge challenge for me as well (as a first time mother) but am enjoying the process. Keep up the good work! :)

    I have to admit that I am relieved to know I am not alone. I am also trying to enjoy this two week break with my family. At the same time, I know I need to make the most of this time for the course, as we are not preoccupied with work requirements. When I start to feel overwhelmed or discouraged, I remind myself that we will soon be done and that all our hard work will be worth it.

    Thank all! It's good to hear(read) such kind words. I'm sure we will all complete this course and learn so much to bring into the classrooms and our homes as well. Good luck to you ladies, enjoy what's left of our break!
    Thanks Dr. Rivera, you have really allowed me to learn so much in such a short period of time. Happy New Year to you all!
