My reflections about this week and what I’ve done

Webskills e-Teacher Course has been a fantastic experience so far! I met a lot of new friends from different parts of the world and I learned a bit about who they are and what they believe in. It was quite an experience because many of them come from the culturally different regions. I followed some discussions which were provoked by some of the posts just to find out how polite and respectful these people are and how they praise professionalism in all matters.  That was very encouraging because it is clear now that we are a group of ambitious people who are prepared to study a lot in order to achieve better results.

I also loved the language and quotations my mates used in their posts and among my favorites are "the mosaic of students" , "to pave the way to knowledge" or "the glass is half-empty or half-full".  In my culture we don't use metaphors to describe our thoughts so it was a pleasant surprise to read those things. Thank you for that dear friends! However, the best part this week was when Juan Carlos posted this amusing article:

It was a laugh to read about the future of teaching and what the life of a teacher may look like in the next 20 or 30 years.

On the whole, I must admit it was a very interesting, a bit challenging and quite an inspiring week of new encounters with new people and cultures. A very promising beginning to exploring the dilemma I posted earlier here: whether  teaching is an art and also whether technology can become a useful tool in this creative process.
