During class 5315, Assessing Digital Learning, I had the opportunity to identify, analyze and evaluate examples of effective evaluation and create evaluation strategies so my students have a significant digital learning environment. In the 5320 class Synthesis Digital Learning Leader, I had the opportunity to reflect on everything I learned in the ADL program.

These classes brought me significant challenges in reflecting on each activity I have done. Still, I liked it since each activity had something of mine since I built my learning, and once again, the theory of constructivism is for me. The challenge I had in class 5315 was the literature review. I am a person who finds it difficult to paraphrase, so I spent hours reading, writing, and redescribing because I did not want to copy and get zero.

During these eight weeks, they have been full of challenges, but they are full of dedication, perseverance, and heart. Reflecting on what I did in the last module and these eight weeks, I realized that my perspective had changed considerably. One of the challenges I had in my first classes was to acquire the habit of reading reflectively, and I have achieved it and love being motivated through reading. During these eight weeks, I read all the recommended readings. I have read two books, Action Research and COVA. Also, one of my purposes was to start reading before class and to do my discussions before class. I improved on the readings, I was ready for the course, and the discussions were on time to give feedback to my peers. Another critical point for success in these two classes is that I completed all my assignments on time and attended all classes. If I had any questions, I would watch the class video sent by the teachers again, or I would ask in the group with my classmates through GroupMe, text message, and zoom. Every week we had a conference to do projects together.

Every week through the Zoom application Lola, Stacie, Letty, and I clarified the work to be done, and thanks to them, these eight weeks in this class have passed very quickly, and thanks to their contributions, the work became more precise and more accessible for me.

I also gave at least two comments to colleagues in the discussion forum.
I have shared and learned with my work team.

Supporting contributions:

Regularly during these eight weeks, we had conferences through the Zoom app. We were also in contact daily through GroupMe, where we discussed some readings and clarify doubts regarding the work. We were in constant communication and gave each other support. And we also maintained communication through GroupMe when we had doubts, and we sent each other the works to give feedback. I am pleased with my two groups. I have learned a lot from them.

Areas to improve:

I need to improve my APA citation form.

Collaboration and teamwork have been excellent learning. I have enjoyed communicating with my colleagues and sharing ideas, frustrations, and fears, and they made me feel that together we can grow. Thanks, team!
