Blended learning

We have used blended learning really effectively in this class. I have to say that this has been my first on-line class and I was really concern about how this was gonna work. But the professor made everything really clear by making a presentation once a week and explaining all the content and activities we had to do. 

I didn't expect to learn as much as I am learning in this on-lines class. First of all, you just don't learn the content that professors explain. I have learned how to organize my time and to remember that I have to use my blog and post something new every week.

Also I think that it is really effective because if I have a question, I can e-mail my professor and I get feedback really fast. Moreover, other students can comment my posts and I can read different opinions. 

My philosophy on blended learning is that with technology everything is possible. I mean, I am taking a class and learning through a screen. There is no doubt that technology does not have limits.

The most striking things I take from Stacy's presentation is that for 2015 there is going to be online state tests. To me, this is really weird and at the same time awesome because back home (Spain) this does not exist. We have to go to the exam with our ID and show it to the professor when we are done with the exam so they can double check that we are not cheating. Maybe in some cities in my country use online exams but I do know not know anybody that has done it before.
However, I think taking this on-line exams are good idea because you can check with the book and notes. We have more time to prepare ourselves for the test. However, when we go to an important test we usually memorize everything and then, we do not remember the next day, which is stupid.

Anyways, taking exams at home or in class, the thing is never stop learning.
