Final Essay.

Didactics English classes since the beginning were held with a straight focus on information and to bring us different techniques, methods, and tools that will help students to increase their knowledge in creating a class, in adapting the lesson plan, in working with online tools for a different concept by changing the simple ways to teach based on different theorists such as Robinson, Fisher, Elbow, Celce-Murcia, and so on with different perspectives to support the surveys that teachers have a lot of options and methods to implement in their lesson plans and how to work with each case that could be presented with students as well.

In order to respond to each question, I'm going to start by mentioning that most of the time I didn't do the journals on the same day that was supposed to make them because not always write the ideas at the same time as my Mister was talking about the topic so I decided just to pay attention and create a list for general information that caught my attention and at that moment but honestly, I thought that the majority of my ideas were inconclusive so I re-watched the classes videos to adapt the info and get more ideas and make my summaries. Before this activity, I can mention that this was my first time creating journals in every class, it felt like taking notes in a notebook with face-to-face classes.  In this case, I guess that one of the challenges of e-journaling is to personalize and how use an online source to accommodate the info of journals. I would like to mention that this type of application on the journal activity was interesting and for my future professional life with students I would like to implement it because it’s an interactive tool that either teacher can review details and classmates can interact with each other, also is useful for those students want to be writers.

In my opinion, I will grade myself with a 10. Not just for my effort only with this assignment because every subject is important, it’s the way how this activity taught me that the importance of redaction, creativity, writing, and grammar can accompany one another to create excellent personal journals with practice and theory. It’s not necessary to change something in the activity process because was a very interesting and different method to summarize each class and change the typical format, either way on how my professor did an excellent job the whole semester because he was very patient and helped me to improve my listening skills.
