During this assignment, I had the chance to put into practice what I had previously
learnt about powerpoint presentations some time ago. It was very useful in that sense.
As regards the Forms, I didn’t know about them and didn’t know how to create them. I
proved I was wrong about thinking that they were not very useful since creating them
takes only some minutes and we can work with them with the computer or in a printed
format if at school there isn’t a compuer lab available.

At the very beginning, it was hard to imagine what a webquest was and what we were
supposed to do with it. Its design was a complete mystery.
While we were working on, we discivered that in fact, it is a powerful tool to use with
students. Many different types of activities, online games, videos, listenign
comprehension activities can be put together to create an online project. The use of
webquests in the classroom add to the typical classroom projects, an element os fun and
most important, the use of combination of technology with the teaching of English.
We had problems with our first webquest creator and finally decided to change it and
use another one so everything was easier the second time and we are really proud of
what we could create.

I believe that during this term we have learnt to use many tools which I will definitely
try with my students some time soon. But, of all, what I have enjoyed the most was
working with the creation of my blog and the different web 2.0 tools we have had the
chance to try during this assignment nº4. Although I had started a blog two years ago,
the task we were assigned this time, gave me the chance to learn better how to
administer a blog, how to upload things that I wrongly believed were “impossible”.
What is more, the tools I tried were funny, easy to use and useful! I’m looking forward
to create new videos and quizzes with and for my students. I’m really glad about having
gone through this experience and feeling I’ve really learnt and will be able to take this
into my own classroom.
