'This is the end, my friends....', he sang... I'd rather put it the complete other way round: This is really just the beginning of the brand new path we started on Sunday evening, Aug. 26th, and that we can continue and make together for as long as we wish.
In short, the morning was spent with us playing the 'Who is who?' game, using the chat tool. The appeal of both the idea of the activity, the challenge and the potential of the tool in itelf, made us all very much involved in it. One more activity we can all adapt and use with our students in different ways, and which, just like with what happened with us, will certainly help them become involved in their learning process.
The rest of this last session was dedicated to evaluating the work we did all through the week. The result? Well, I think everybody agreed on the fact that this course was definitely a very positive experience in so many aspects:
- its organization (both structure and content) and development;
- the high level of professionalism of the trainers (THANK YOU, dear Ulrike, Gerda and Karin, for the sharing!);
- the significance of the new knowledge and skills we acquired and the ones we (already got and) had the chance to develop;
- the diversity and appeal of the tasks we performed;
- the experiences we had the chance to exchange;
- the reflections on the use of this course and on the ways we can put many of the things we learned into practice in our daily work;
- the whole atmosphere of the course;
- the location of the course and the material/equipment provided;
- the accomodation;
- the friends we made and that I am sure will remain forever;
- ... I could go on and on and on...
For all this and so much more, this was one of the best weeks I have ever had.
Forever yours, dear friends!
Hasta siempre, amigos mios!
