Week 8 has started with total focus on finalizing the draft to be delivered by Wednesday.
To me, fullfilling such tasks that require a thread of thoughts, actions and allignment require an immersion. So it took me 9 hours split into two slots of time to go through the reflections and complete the task.
The only thing I wish I had paid more attention before: taking notes of all the articles I read and sites I visited that inspired me during the course plan. Something that has been of great help was the fact I started using the google template for the plan report before. It was such time saver.
I really enjoyed working with rubistar for writing assessment rubrics, zunal.com and padlet.com in the order mentioned. Being able to feel which tools I could develop successfuly has been essential to have completed the plan.
It's also been a special treat to have the checklist done by a course peer before the final version. It has been a matter of great responsibility to review the same peer's project. Hope my comments have been of use towards the final aim.
The nicenet discussion has been enriching as all the other threads as the course participants are really commited. To me it was nice to check the readings. But I must say that specially this week it was much more meaningful to go through the posts and observe there are some sites - such as nicenet, blogger, google docs, padlet, zunal and wikis - that are definitely popular due to their level of usage and also due to the fact they promote learner autonomy.
To me, working with zunal.com to create a webquest and working with padlet to create writing tasks for the course plan has been aspecial treat. These two tools are so user friendly that one feels motivated to complete the task and share with others. Besides, the final result is so beautiful that it looks like a technological work of art. One special feature of zunal is the fact you can publish your work and if it's accepted it's a natural sign of validation.
Finally, I have alreday ready my peer's feedback re: the course plan & feel ready to move on with the final adjustments as well as going through the other tasks from week 9.
Grateful for the course opportuniy.

Juliana
