Week 9 - Becoming more concious about myself

This was an exiting week reading more about Multiple Intelligence and Learning Styles. I found myself thinking about my childhood and how many times I could feel that teachers would impose a certain way of teaching and I basically "accepted" their rules or concepts presented but classes were not meaningful for me.
Now, I find myself reading these articles, sharing my thoughts and opinions with such a nice group of professionals, and I see myself invited to look for better options to share knowledge and learning experiences for my students and for teachers who share this experience with me as a coordinator.
I am committed and invited to share about a number of tools that will make learning more beneficial to others, guiding colleagues to be aware of their own learning styles and helping them to become conscious about ways in reaching kids with different interests or priorities. Why favor only verbal and spatial students most of the time? What happens with kinesthetic kids? Do they need to be told to stay still all the time? Isn't it about time to let them express themselves? Or auditory learners, intrapersonal ones. They also have their needs, and they can share so much with their own perspectives.
Learning more about Project Based Learning, Learner Autonomy, models of creating objectives, creating presentations and being able to upload things I created by myself gave me a lot of confidence to continue searching more about education. Now I find myself thinking about ways I could share this materials with colleagues and how I can influence to make an impact at the institutions I work at implementing more technology. Creating a blog with my students was something I honestly did not think about before. Now, they ask about it and they want to continue sharing thoughts. I know this will be a great way to continue improving their language skills.
I will continue fining out more about getting connected to webminars. For some of you this may be something too easy, but I need to be honest. I still have a lot to learn, which is good. I still have so many things to continue discovering and by taking the risk and trying out new things I know I will be able to make my classes more interesting and make my students’ learning an unforgettable experience, sharing tools with them that they will be able to use in their lives. I think that this is my mission. Give them tools for life!
