Luckily, in my (very short) professional career I have worked with colleagues who have been very generous, kind and very sharing. I started working at San Diego State University and fortunately (for me (: ) our program coordinator was very interested in technology and integrating this technology into the language classroom. Our coordinator always held workshops and trained instructors with innovative programs. Up to this date I still use some of these activities and programs in class and of course some of them have been modified as it needs. Nonetheless, thanks to his knowledge and sharing of this knowledge is that we (instructors) started building our teaching foundation. Up to this date, working in MiraCosta College, I have been very lucky to work with colleagues who are not only willing to share their ideas, but also walk you through it and allow you to modify these ideas as you see fit.
Coming to an end truly has inspired to seek further information and to keep on exploring new horizons as suggested by Ko & Rossen. In the past I had attended some workshops and CLTA conferences which I’ve gained so much from, however, as in the book mentions I will strive to get enrolled into online based programs to help me prepare hands-on. And I can say I have taken the first step by enrolling in this course 🙂
