Online courses have been a blessed discovery for me.

I enjoy and love learning! Improving my teaching strategies and techniques through ways that my students feel motivated and ehanced is what I try to do.

My hectic yet wonderful way of life, does not leave much free "time" lefy to assist different classroom courses which timetables coincide with my daily life routine such as playing with my young kids, cooking for them, doing house chores, etc.

This is why I am really happy to be able to participate in different distance courses such as Widen Your Classroom With Blogs. So far on the course, I have learned about TAGS in a way that makes sense to me now; as well as reading and learning about words that I've heard or read before but didn't know exactly what they meant or referred to. Thanks to this course I have accessed different webpages which I will use in future school lessons!

But most of all, I reconfirm that constant feedback to our students is essential. Jen and Illya are constantly answering our comments, doubts in a jiffy motivating us, students, to keep posting and writing knowing that we will be heard immediately! Thanks!

Online courses allow me to keep on learning and expanding my teaching skills and views and at the same time carry on with my family routines without interrupting my precious time with the,. Allowing to organise my time according to my "free" time is one of the most precious parts of these kind of courses. As well as meeting new people, specially from all over the world, which allows sharing and learning in different and nutrious ways.
