Guess what! we did it.   Teachers got their e-mail addresses and had they first chat ever. The chat was a little bit energetic for some of them , but they had fun. We have to thank Juan Mavo  for his great talk about the use of technology and the importance of the instructional design. Way to go, Juan!

Now, here is what Janet said about technology:  

Janeth I think right now teachers need to get familiar with the new technology, but you are right we need to follow a methodology and desgin the new strategies in order to reach the students.

I learned recently that the difference between training and faculty development is that in a training you learn about tools, and in faculty development you learn about which tool is better for what purposes.

Learning about on-line tools is just as you said... we first learn to -hold a pencil, then learn to write.... and find things to write about. Likewise, we might find that typing is a better tool, or that a keyboard is even better!
We need to tolerate the initial discomfort as we gain mastery over the tool.

It's like the saying.... practice makes perfect!

And on we go !!!!
