This week has had two distinctive parts for me: I spent the first half of the week doing my project report and the second half exploring teacher resources.
It was very nice of our teachers to be a bit lenient with us during the first half of the week – not having to post on Nicenet, I mean. Writing a draft of my project wasn't too hard, I think, but that was because the results weren't ready, so it wasn't a full draft. I'm not sure I've ticked all the boxes requested and I definitely have to do a lot of work on it to have a decent final project: articles, bibliography, results, changes... I wish we got some kind of temporary grade for us to know if we're missing too many things or we're doing fine. Jodi and Celeste told us not to worry too much because we would get an email if we were NOT in the right direction, so I guess no news is good news! :)
Mª Luisa very kindly commented on some aspects of my project, especially on the language/grammar/structures part of it, but I still have doubts about things like assessment of the recordings, so I asked her straight away. And I just managed to send her my feedback and checklist of her project, so I hope she'll find them useful!
As for the second half of the week, we had some very interesting conversations on Nicenet and we had the chance to meet Jeff. I think we should be really honoured! I didn't manage to attend the webinar and I was really looking forward to it, because I'd like to learn more about ANVILL and I think discussing it F2F in ANVILL would have been far more useful and efficient than reading lots of instructions on paper. But I'll try to do my best. I wonder if we can watch the recorded session... We also spent some time exploring different websites and software to create activities online, but to use both online and offline. And obviously, this has meant... more delicious links! :) I've downloaded Hot Potatoes and I'd like to use the software to prepare listening and reading activities for my students to do from home (multiple choice and true-false).
NOTE TO SELF: Remember to do the Webquest now that I have more time...
