spotlight on my teaching

After several years of teaching English I begin to suspect that certain factors hindered some of my adult students who finally gave up, since they could not cope with the numerous roles they faced every day such as being a parent, an employee, a sucessful professional, etc. It seemed to fall into lack of accessibility or lack of effectiveness.

A month ago, I came across this course which is offering endless instructional tools for learning and teaching by using the internet and service connections.

My goal for the next few months is to start this process of learning the technology required to create an online course and update my teaching. However, it is hard for me and I will have to work a lot in order to discover, assume and learn all this stuff I was never used to; sometimes I feel like a baby learning to walk and falling down on every step I try, then I stand up--I am not alone--I just HOPE I will finally manage to understand and get familiar with this new "technological" way of teaching that will enable me accomplish this goal.
