This past week and a half has been a great adventure, and resulted in many things. I have my own website, I have a blog ( and actually know what that means), and I am a regular contributor on a WIKI with administrator benefits (I even moved a page in the WIKI without bringing it down...)
It has not been an easy process. I hit the wall many times, and thought that I couldn't do it. I also have a feeling that I will encounter more difficulties while creating the Webquest...
But with perseverance, patience, and other classmates help I was able to do it. I always thought that if you speak more than one language, you should be able to easily learn as many languages as you want. But I was wrong. It wasn't easy for me to learn the computer/ Internet language. I was frustrated and overwhelmed at times. It made me think about my students, and how they felt overwhelmed while learning Passe compose VS. Imparfait. I can say NOW that I can relate. But at the same time I can say that anything is possible as long as I put in the necessary time and effort, and the needed support is provided.

I also feel that I have been able to "make it through" so far with the help and support of my classmates. I need to think about how I can help develop and support such a resource for my own students as I can see how important it would be for them to have a support network.
You have come a long way, Nadia! Your tech savvy has increased 100-fold so I think you'll only keep building on your skills and your understanding as you return to the classroom.
