I'm definitely going to miss this

Hey everyone,
Before discussing what I have learned in this 10 week course, I would like to say that it was a great pleasure meeting all of you dear colleagues and studying alongside you. It's been tough at times but nothing that good time planning cannot solve.
Through these very short weeks, we've learned a lot and shared a lot. I started off by learning about a very valuable tool called Webquests, which proved to be extremely useful provided the children have the proper training.
Afterward, I moved on to learn about PBL and its uses in making the class feel more like a family and less like a boot camp. PBL helps in creating bonds beyond the classroom with the children. You see, a proof of this was during my book signing on Saturday when my students from the school I used to teach last year came and stayed for a couple of hours while one of them actually stayed from 1:30 till 10 PM to show support.
Later on, Robert shared with me a very special website called Lessonwriter. I think I will use this website for a very very long time due to all the benefits and ideas it brings forth.
All in all, almost every topic we discussed was extremely useful and beneficial. Thanks again Robert for all your time and effort and a special thanks to all the guests who joined us over the weeks.
Regards,
Charbel
