Week 4

Hello,it was my birthday this week,and it came loaded with lots of reflections, as birthdays usually are for me.

And my family all together at home is the reason I am posting so late today,exhausted but happy. 

I have  a lovely husband ,"the wind beneath my wings" as I like to call him, two adorable children,Juan and Cecilia both of them married ,and a 18-month old grandson,Massimo,they are my first motivation to continue developing myself.

My second and great inspiration are my students,and this week was so so special.

I was every day with computers in class,working with them,something that ,I believe, happens for the first time in my life.

I planned my lesson with the technology enhanced template and I also worked with the revised version of Bloom´s taxonomy for the 21st century.

It is a complete new challenge for me ,thinking about how to apply technology in my classes on a daily basis,to be honest,I used to plan something with PCs about twice a month,which for most teachers around here is normal,not to mention rare.

So,here I am now, with different tasks planned for next week and wondering about Donna.I have heard in the news that there has been an earthquake in Turkey,and she mentioned she was going to be there.I hope,she is in good condition.
