Dear
Teresa and Dafne,
This course has been a wonderful learning experience. Thanks
to the boundless energy, wealth of ideas, and highly-developed
facilitating skills you both demonstrated again and again
and again, I can honestly say this course has been one of
the most engaging I've ever participated in. I'm at a loss
for words to describe how much I appreciate what you both
brought to PP104 and how you enabled all of us to take responsibility
for our own learning and to acquire many new skills, develop
markedly higher levels of personal confidence in what we can
do, and add both breadth and depth to our thinking.
I'm very grateful for the opportunity to learn from you,
work with you, and simply get to know you better. You're inspirations
to all of us!
¡Milliones de gracias! Muito obrigado! Bol'shoje spasibo!
D. O.

It's always good to look back
and see what has been learned and accomplished -- something
your KWK charts do very nicely. I am impressed with the format
of the class; it is always good to see a totally online class
in action as an example. You have had us do a variety of exercises,
including group, which makes learning various and challenging.
Not only have we been introduced to the technology, through
the investigation of authoring tools and online exercises, you
have also provided a theoretical background through readings
and discussions. And all in four weeks!
I wish I had taken something like this before I started setting
up my own blended class, but perhaps I might have been overwhelmed
with too many new things. As it is, I have learned more new
things in this class and am very happy with my developing
skills. My new focus is on collaborative activities; I have
had a very successful experience with one and plan on developing
more. I like that our lesson plan was to focus on an integrated
activity that could incorporate constructivism

Thank you, Thank you , Thank you
Dafne and Teresa!!!!! Once again, I have come away from these
TESOL classes feeling enriched with knowledge and enriched with
professional friendships. I hope to see each of you in cyberspace
or in a real F2F. My e-mail address is roberts_rae@yahoo.com
if anyone wants to talk about teaching/technology/or collaboration.
I would be happy to hear from you.

Thank you so much for everything.
I really enjoyed taking the course. Mahalo, xie-xie, airgatoo.
I especially enjoyed reading different articles. It helped
me to think what kinds of exericise I should design.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you either online or
face-to-face.
Mahalo,
Masaki

Wow, this month just flew by.
I feel the course was well worth the money, time, and effort.
I have learned a lot more than just how to teach grammar and
vocabulary online.
The feedback from my experienced classmates was extremely
valuable and so encouraging when I was feeling frustrated
with the new tools.
I liked the way the course was organized. I appreciated the
clearly laid out objectives for each week. I wish I could
have participated in more chats; it was fun to be synchronous.
Also, I thought the group project worked out surprisingly
well (maybe I just had a good partner?) in the online environment.
The group forum was a great way to communicate, and probably
more reliable than personal email.
One thing I would suggest for future courses is to describe
the DL2 navigation and what parts of DL2 we'll use in this
course.
Teresa and Dafne, you were wonderful facilitators and instructors.
I hope to see you online or f2f in the future.

One of the things I especially
liked about the class is how everything fit together like a
good puzzle. There was always someone to help you find that
piece you were looking for. The pieces of the course interconnected
smoothly too like I think Val said. We started looking closely
at what was out there and what creates it. Then through the
readings how to connect it with different educational settings
and finally how put things together ourselves. I agree, the
course was too short. I hope to meet some of you in other courses.

To all,
I have a wonderful experience and I think that it was a combination
of things that contributed. One reason was the way Dafne and
Teresa had designed the course. Another is their willingness
to share their knowledge with me as well as with my classmates.
And of course my dear classmates who where so caring and always
willing to help a fellow classmate. I have never been part
of a course where everybody has been so nice and friendly.
I am going to miss all of you! So, lets try and stay in touch.
Katherine
