E-PORTFOLIO MIRIAN JIMENEZ – Funny Faces

WOW,  today i s Thursday, a new day with fresh ideas coming through  my mind.  I am expenting new challenges that flows with the day.  It makes my life worthy.  Also the desire to keep on reaching what is giving in my hands.  Thank God .  The first person  I saw was Ruth.  She was working in her computer.  Manuel gave his reflection.  It was so cool.  Afterwards  he read his ethnography.  Carmen came with the idea that everyone bring something for lunch.  Everyone agreed.  Then we started  how to created a new page at the wikepage web.  Lisa gave us  an assignment.

   In the afternoon we continue the class as usual.  Mr. Luis gave us time to finish our works.  The afternoon was relaxing and easy going.

  Another wonderful day in my life.  It is a bright and hot day.  The class started with Sandra’s reflection.  It was a poem.  Then she gave her ethnography report.  Professor Luis wrote the prompt for the day.  It was time to continue finishing the movie maker, the newspaper and also the instructional module. It was a challenging experience. We even shared the cake that Carmen brought. We asked for help in some of the work we were doing, there is always a helping hand.  Thank God for this wonderful group.  I feel they are a blessing in my life.

 Today’s is Tuesday.  Always expecting new things to happen.  Now that Sandra is driving , we arrive on time.  We do not have to do the daily walking exercise to the Sagrado.  Marialina gave her reflection.  It was so cool.  Then she read her ethnogtraphy report.  Class began as usual.  We had to continue creating our Movie Maker presentation, but one of the task  was to add narration. This is not an easy task.  Trying to use proper intonation is difficult, but not impossible.  I spent all day doing it. 

Wow.  Today is Monday again. We continue working with the Mokie maker2.  This is my road to star stardom.  Believe it or not.  I can not wait until my agent calls me.  But first I have to do my second movie maker.  It is an interesting but not easy task.  This is the way we learn.

      I had another craving for coffee before I entered the classroom.  This rich elixir keeps me focus on the class.   Elizabeth gave a sensitive reflection. Manuel asked for a group hug and some teachers cleared the air.  Also, we learned to make newsletter. We made our exit slip about it.

     Before getting to the class, Sandra and I made a coffee stop. I needed it badly. Miracously, we arrived on time.  Irene gave a very sentimental reflection. After it, I had to get into the working mood. We started making our modules. It is a nice task because we share ideas. It makes us feel good and part of a team.

      I arrived early on this Monday, only to find there were no goodies.  Where is the coffee? Where are the doughnuts? What happened to the bread and butter?  I sat in front of my computer a little disappointed. I wrote my writing prompt. Next we made our powerpoint presentations with audio.  It was raining during lunch hour, so I had lunch in the university’s residence.  It was the only place Sandra and I found vending machines.  In the afternoon, the class gave their powerpoint presentations.  They were very good.  The class got together to talk about the instructional modules.  At the end of the class we wrote our exit slips.

        I enjoyed the elephant’s dance that Liza brought to class.  After she read her ethnography report, the class started with the instructional module.   Mr. Colon explained the parts and clarified doubts.  We created three pages.  In the afternoon we continued with the module.  It was very creative and fun. I learned how useful techonology can be in the classroom

        It was agreat day. I saw the sun shine more than ever because Sandra with her husband came to pick me up at my house. That was so great because I was going to walk to the train station but my good friend came to my rescue.  Aleluya!!!

       Then we arrived to class like always on time.  We had to have our morning coffee before we entered. That coffee was so good it made my day.  Maribel presented  her ethnography report which I tried to enjoy it.  Then Mr. Colon showed us how to find our blog in a more effecitve way.  We went to our dashboard to add different tools.

        In the afternoon Mr. Colon presented a mini lesson on Instrutional modules with all its properties.  Later we wrote our exit slip.  Everyday I learn more about technology and how teachers must ioin in to make classes more effective.

My second day of class was a bright day.  But something happened, there was no A/C in the classroom and it was so hot!  Our professor continued the class, which was interesting.  I created my own web log.  I felt so proud of myself for doing it and working on it.  It was a great experience, because I thought I could never do it.  After lunch it was still very hot, but classes continued.  Luis gave us clear and interesting information about blogging in schools.  Mr. Colón gave us an exercise I enjoyed and clarified my doubts; it was a very useful work.  The only thing is that he assigned us a reading assignment we had to do, and make a summary of.  But that is part of the package, I mean, classes.

                I went to the mall to meet with Sandra, so we could help each other with the assignment.  I had to leave early  because I had to help  my son with some errands.  While I waited for him I wrote  drafts.  I kept calling Santana on the phone when I had doubts.    I was able to post the information with the help of a neighbor.

  It was bright and sunny day when I arrived at the Sagrado Corazon University.  I felt  enthusiastic because I was going to see my fellowship from last Summer.  I got a little  nervous and anxious when I met Mr. Colon, new classmates and specially the classes.  Mr.Colon presented the daily work and the porfolio, and other works  that I have to do. I also open new account that it took me a little while.  I also worked with the different individual  given material.  It was a great day.  I am learning a lot and I also feel well.  This will be great experience for me.
