Working with Educational Tools

My first idea had been to set up a Chat activity, but then I started reflecting on my experience with chat activities in Spanish. I remembered the stress I felt and how difficult it was to find the words to express my ideas and doubts.

I then remembered how I had come to know several colleagues through the Forum activities and so I thought about an introductions page. However, afterwards I remembered how often I wondered what my colleagues looked like and that somehow seeing a face or hearing a voice makes me feel closer to them. This was the reason I chose to give the video or podcast option and also because some of my younger students will I think enjoy the challenge.

I like that I can decide how much time to give my students and in the welcome activity and I left it open (no time limit) because I remember that some students had problems at the beginning of the course or signed up late.

I considered making a Wikki, but I plan to use one later on to construct a page with tips for foreigners.

I am still trying to figure out how to take more advantage of the scorm option, but I hope to make more use of it soon.
