In this first session, it allowed me to learn several things. Work online a task that needs patience and vocation, although I was presented with several incidents regarding the use of tools, even though I practiced before starting, it was the nerve, I felt very encouraged to continue most of the students attended and we had good intercourse.

In this opportunity from the beginning I felt very discouraged, since none of the students had confirmed me, when I was transmitting the video call to leave the evidence. a student appeared, well and a little changed the dynamics. I felt that I was giving personalized class another more enjoyable experience. Then another student appeared, but with him it was impossible to intercede since he was on his way home, there was a lot of noise. but still I kept my desire to continue

This meeting, I arrived with many enthusiasm and motivation to hold the meeting, attended by two students, the same ones with whom I have been working, with difficulty we gave the class, since I did not understand what was happening to my internet, when we were online it was falling the connection, I had to make several links so that the students could re-enter and record the video album but it was almost impossible, but we were able to carry out the activities, but my surprise was that with so much interruption it was not possible to record anything.
Here I share the captures that if the session was made but not grubbing me. I felt a bit frustrated

this last session could not be carried out, because there was an inconvenient and there was no electric light and I could not give the class, talk with the students per WhatsApp to explain and only answered one, then I wanted to reschedule the class but it was not possible because the student who only communicated with me told me that it was difficult because he had to travel and the other student did not appear.
In any case, I sent him the material of the class he had prepared and he committed himself to doing the activities and sending them to me.

Final exam
|
|
in this last class I took the final exam for a student, since I had been working with two students in this group, but since one of the previous classes one of them was absent and I wrote to invite her to continue with the classes, but she did not answer, also the I invited for the exam and did not really attend, I do not know what happened to her
|
Two sample lesson plans that I liked and why
These activities were very productive, since games were used that were adapted to the interpretation of each one and descriptive conversations about the learning style of each one, so that a metareflection was made. The conversations were fluid, active and collaborative.
