Week 9 Reflection

Time passes very quickly. I still remember a few weeks before when I was just preparing myself for my first experience of an online course, then meeting very cooperative and kind instructors who made things so simple from the very beginning even before we start. They have worked as facilitators and guides throughout the whole course. Then meeting after that nice and helpful classmates that I feel as if we meet each other for real. I might feel sad that it comes to an end but I still hope that there will be more online courses with the same people again.
Thank you Jodi & Sherie. Thank you OREGON University. Thank you dear classmates. I have learned a lot from everything and everybody. I hope this friendship will last forever.
Even this week comes with a lot of lessons to learn and a lot of amazing ideas from the nice people here.
The idea of learning styles and  multiple intelligences these links are so useful.

• Tech tools that support multiple intelligences:

  Understanding different learning styles is an important part of effective teaching, with and without technology.
  
  
• While there are a number of different ways of exploring learning styles, this article from Richard Felder explores the impact of different learning styles on classroom performance:

This is amazing.  Then at last the course evaluation where I cannot find words to describe how grateful I am to my Jodi & Sherie and everyone who gave me the chance to take that course. Thank you everybody.

Let me end by something I usually tell myself when I say goodbye to people dear  to my heart.

Even when you say goodbyes
with tears in the eyes
know that one day
somehow... someway
we will meet again
with tears of joy
in our eyes...!!!
