Hello everyone.

This week has ended not so well for me. WHY? Because I have not participated in the course as I would have loved to. Several things stole most of time and focus so much so that I barely managed to read the discussions and also provide enormous feedback as I had previewed. However I read the resources and I got a lot from it. I only watch the video on Sunday morning (7th) because of poor network problems. I even understood more after watching it. Things just made more sense.

 Our guest, Russell's insightful comments were well put and thought-provoking all through; including that of the other class members. Really, I shall walk away from this course a genius, thanks to great support and resources provided by Courtney and YOU.

I was thrilled to get to find out that something existed like learning styles and for which teachers are bound to know and use for the sake of better comprehension. This is key to me because I can now know who exactly in class needs more efforts and HOW. Before I sometimes just thought that everybody grasped ideas in the same way but after reading this week's resources and nicnet postings I better foo than before. This is something I am going to incorporate in my class. In fact I am going to class now(after I post this) and I cannot wait to begin to try out all what I have learnt this week. I have a couple of cardboard's and some videos and games to try out, hope it turns out great.

Finally one is done with the project. That is another task that gave  me hard time but thank God I was able to finish it. People like Godana from Serbia were boaster, who provided prompt and positive comments and recommendations. I thank her once again. I must say that I learnt a lot from the project and I am in the process of applying it in my school. For me it is the most challenging tasks I did and I loved it! My classes are more fun than ever now. Everybody wishes to be part of it. Great feedback!

I cannot believe that this is week ten I see already. Time has gone so soon. Are we really done? Seriously? Wow! Am happy to have been part of a great team of resourceful persons. I cannot measure how much I have learnt. And to think that I paid nothing is just nicely crazy right? I am grateful to the American embassy here in Cameroon for this opportunity and the American government for this NEW YEAR GIFT. What I have gained from here is enormous.

When I singed for this course one of my reasons was because I wanted to be a better teacher. I am glad I am! This is no lie.

Thanks again. Wonder what Week Ten would bring. Well, let’s see.............

Great time folks!

Valentine.
