Week 8 ANVILL WEEK

I have named this week ANVILL ,because I have discovered this page and I do not want to exagerate,but I think my classes will change from now on.
I had been using Moodle,as a students and as a teacher,but I have found out that ANVIL is a lot more user-friendly for me and I am sure it will be for my students as well.
I am so sad I could not get Internet connection earlier that day and I was so thrilled watching the video of the conference.You can´t imagine ,several times I wanted to participate because I was feeling I was there!

This week has been very special for me, because another group of six graders in the Public Highschool have said goodbye to classes there,some of them are going to University,some others to other courses,related to the country,because we live in a farming aerea,others are going to look for a job...We have had farewell meetings with each class.I get very emotional .Every year I say goodbye to a group, I feel great in one part,having been part of their development and sad on the other hand ,because I always feel I have not done enough.

Anyway it has been a bittersweet week as usual and as I share a googlegroup with them we may continue in touch.Now that I have discovered ANVILL ,I am already making plans for my 2012 groups.

On the other hand this week my project students in the Private Institute will bring their final videos for the project tomorrow.I am thrilled to see the results.
