End of classes – Part I

The end of the semester is getting nearer. Classes are almost over. Summer is coming. At the same time that all this can be very exciting, I must confess it gives me butterflies as well. After an end there is always a new beginning.  Beginnings require changing, learning, adapting. Now that I was so used to the class, it is going to end. Despite the fact some of my colleagues must be relieved with the end of the classes, believe me, I am not! When I registered for EDTS, I had no idea what to expect from this class. It ended up being way better than I could have ever expected. Even though I have some classmates who are technology experts already, I am not computer skilled at all, so taking this class helped me much more than anyone could have imagined. I am a little bit nervous leaving this class now because how am I going to keep updating myself with all the technological changes? I would never have found out all the resources we learned in class on my own. How would I ever have thought of recording my own voice, making my own podcast video by myself? I wouldn’t come up with that idea on my own. Isn’t it fantastic we can do it nowadays even from home? I thought I would have to go to a professional recording studio to make such thing. This garage band is so incredible; I can even insert Jingles in my recordings, hahaha! How do I look for new stuff that I do not even know they exist? I don’t think I can do it on my own. So that is what I am afraid of. How am I going to be a modern, updated teacher with such an ever-changing digital world? So this class was very meaningful, helpful, It came at a good time in my life to help me out, wish it continued throughout my grad program though…
