Not fiction, reality...

One more week and it is over. I cannot deny I am feeling a kind of relief. I feel as if now I will be able to explore all the things that have been "passing in front of my eyes"... It is like a film we watch and like a lot, but then we have to watch it againg to listen to the dialogues with more attention, sing the theme song along, find out the details of the climax scene...

I have completed my project and it seems more real to me now. Even though I have not tested it in real, I can say that I have thought about itso much, the possible results and the necessary changes and adaptations, that I feel as if I had tested it in classroom, more than once. And added to this, the best product of this week was that I created a wiki page for my teachers' group, for sharing ideas and materials. It has already started well, with additions by other teachers. I was expecting this to happen only next week, since I had not introduced it formally to them, I had only sent the online invitation. I am delighted with the infinite possibilities that are about to become real.

Finally, I have to congratulate our tutors for the project peer correction task! It was amazing. All the elements were so integrated (the checlist and the rubric) that our task was more like a complement of our own project. I "corrected" (if I can say so) Roland's project, but I was in fact evaluating mine. This was a great experience, that I intend to put into practice in my courses and classes. The objectiveness of the rubric also deserves my applause. Besides this, this task made us feel closer to our fellows, it created a friendship atmosphere.

Thanks to Roland for his help with my project. I am sure there is still a lot to add, but it is the first step. I am sure it is much more a real project now.
