This course provided me a lot of tools. Quias, Educational Blogs, Power Point templates, and the experience to share with my classmates different viewpoints about how to apply technology in class to give students the skills to success in this comptetive world. I was excited to create my first pod cast and I was able o create my first photo story assignment about the Inca Culture. I think this is a good way to share with my students some little facts about different hispanic cultures in class.
Iam just sad because I would like to have more time to practice more about the Quia that allow teachers to organize data of students who took a test. I hope we have more technology classes to improve our knowledge and continue our development.
Thank a lot for all I learned from you. You are a great teacher!!!!

Week 7: Grant by Jacqueline
I have to mention that I don't know a lot about how to get grants in USA. I think the websites you provied are a good star.
On the other hand, If I have the opportunity to get a grant, I will invest this money in buying at least two digital cameras, good microphones and a good convertor. The videos will be used to record the Spanish plays which is a requirement for the finals of the two levels I teach. I will ask the students if I can film those presentations for educational purposes. This recorded videos will help others newcomers to see how other students struggle in getting the skills of the languages. These videos also will help students to see how others students prepare a ten or fifteen minutes play by using all the artifacts they need to get a good grade. This is agood way to get our own educational resources for the use of teachers and students.
Because learning languages requires a lot of practice in pronunciation and listening skills, I will use the microphones to allow the students to listen to different Spanish podcast and practice some vocabulary. Then they will be able to listen to themselves by using the Audacity Program.
I am glad to be part of this class because I learn a lot not only about technology but about different viewpoints of address a class by using technology.

Week 6: Writing Prompt response
Online Assestment tools
When I navigated the Quia.com website I found many interesting tools to use in my Spanish class. This website provides templates for creating different types of online activities, including flash cards, word search, battleship, challenge board, and cloze exercises. When I click on "sharing" I found 5811 activities that Spanish students can use to learn and have fun at the same time . Spanish Jepardy, which is a challenge board, pop-ups, jumble words, and Java games are some of the activities you can use for language classes. In addition, this website allow teachers to create their own topics by using this activities templates. This online activities and quizzes have been created by teachers from around the world, and other fellow teachers can access them quickly. That is great!!!
In addition, teachers can save a lot of time and manage students information by using Quia Books. The reason is because this is a program that helps you to grade students and create detailed reports on student performance. For example, this website can provide with a report that specifies what question students failed most. Certainly, teacher needs to know this information to help students to acquire this missing knowledge.
