Week 10 - Let's Wrap-Up!!



     There is a feeling of anxiety and sadness that I feel at this moment. The feeling can make me cry. I actually do not like the word “farewell”. It makes me want to run and throw myself into the sea full of memories. This week is the time to wrap all things up and return to the hometown. I still want to be here, in the town full of surprises, lessons, and experiences. Yes..This town, Webskills online course. But I have to go back home to apply what I have got and learned. New friends that I know will be friends forever. I can’t give anything as a memento. Only the deepest gratitude that I can convey to the great instructor that I have ever known, Donna Shaw, and University of Oregon that has provided the opportunity for me to join this wonderful course and friends who have been great friends to share ideas and inspiration.

     I have taken 10 weeks to build teaching skills through an interactive web known as "Webskills". The topics that have been given will be very useful and valuable for meI have tried my best to do the assignments that have been given and feel happy because the work gives satisfactory results. I think I have successfully completed this course, especially in creating and managing this blog. A Blog containing reflections from Webskills online courses. ABCD models, Delicious, Interactive PowerPoint, Online Teacher Resources are the most useful things for me to enhance students' autonomous learning. Nicenet, padlet, blog, WebQuest and other useful tools will be used in my classes in the future. I can't wait for this moment. It feels like I get presents for my birthday. I will be very happy and never forget that. Needless to say, I've learned to become autonomous learner for 10 weeks and I make a promise to myself that from now on I will always try to do the best for me and for all of my students in learning English. 

     Again, I want to give my deepest gratitude to Donna and all of my colleagues that have helped me to pass through this online course. I hope we can meet again one day in a wonderful place of learning. 

"Terima Kasih"
