Week 1. Reflections


I am unwritten
Can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand...
             by Natasha Bedingfield


A new chapter of my life starts with this blog, my first blog. The change is in the air. Although “I’m undefined, I’m just beginning”, however this is the first step, but it is so vitally important, because after it comes the second and the third, thereby I will be able to “walk” the Global Network, blog, communicate and share my ideas with the whole world.

I would like to greet every e-learner from my online class, Courtney Cunningham, our fabulous instructor, and the whole team from the American English Institute, and I would like to thank once again the University of Oregon for this wonderful opportunity to participate in the course “Building Teaching Skills through the Interactive Web”.

Important events always coincide in my life. Our course started on October 1st, the same date was the birthday of the university I work. The Moldova State University was founded 66 years ago! The MSU is a classic type university which gives qualitative education and trains highly skilled specialists. My congratulations to the administration, the academic staff and the students of our university! usm.md

We became bloggers but we are still teachers. Another important event is the International Teacher’s Day that is celebrated today on October 5th! This is our holiday! Congratulations to everyone!

But back to work! Blogging is new for me, but I am ready to study and investigate the opportunities it gives to improve my web skills. I am ready to start!

Happy blogging to everyone!

P.S. So many events at once. I like it!

  1. Hi Ina Volosciuc

    Thank you very much for remaining me about the teacher's day. And I would like to say welcome to this course by expecting we can improve our knowledge through joining this program. Actually there is not any superman in this world, so that's why we need one and another people's hand.

    I am looking forward to learning from your Blog

    Best regards

  4. Hi Ina

    I like the way you started your blog posts - i.e. with a quote - very succinct; but, loaded with meanings. Greetings your university on its anniversary as well as belated happy teachers' day to you too. Keep sharing.

    Best, Cherry.

  5. Hi Cherry,

    Thank you for visiting my blog. I like this quote, it tells that I am a fresher, but I am ready to learn and to share what I know. As this is my first blog, I have a feeling it is like a child, growing every day, being happy to have guests, developing.

    Best wishes,
    Ina

  6. Hi, Ina. Your writing style is very nice and refreshing. I am just reading this post and sorry to say that I missed International Teachers' Day. Congrulations to us all.

    I love that you start each blog with a quote. I am going to try to do this too!

  7. Hi Evelyn,

    When I read books I love writing down quotes from them, so everytime I start a new notebook. I remember while reading The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho there were so many wonderful words, my favourite quote is "the treasure lies where your heart belongs". I think it not only about the native land, but also about the work you do. As soon as your heart belongs to what you do you are happy. My heart belongs to teaching.

    Sincerely,
    Ina
