This has been a very useful course. I have learned a lot and it has been a helpful source of different applications to use in class. I think that, after attending these four sessions, I will feel more confident to use ICT tools with my students; not only because we were required to practice with the different tools but also because we know real experiences from other primary education colleagues who have already used this kind of activities in classroom and gave their own opinion.
I hope I will be able to change my teaching practice and make my lessons more interactive. However, we depend on our school facilities and sometimes it's hard to find available computer rooms or netbooks, smartboards and projectors in every classroom. I think it's only a matter of time to have proper 2.0 equipments in all classrooms but I feel that attending this course we have already made the first step and contribution to develope the ICTs competence.
Here is my Wordle with some key words about this course.

Babblerize
The second application shown during the course that I have chosen is Babblerize. This application could be very useful to work on speaking, reading and writing skills. Students can create their own presentation by creating "talking photos".

Goggling
The ICT tool that I chose is Glogster. This application allows to create interactive posters. Glogs look like a poster but the reader can interact with the content. The students can add several interactive tools to their posters. In my opinion, Glogster can help us to work on several skills since our students can upload their own videos or voice recordings as well as pictures, videos and songs found on the web.
