AN ACTIVITY YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME
Record a for 2 minutemobile phone video presentation* about an activity you like to do in your free time.
Say:
What the activity is,
How often you do it,
Where you do it,
What the activity involves,
Why you enjoy doing this activity.
Mention anything else you think is important.
A mobile phone video presentation is a video of the student talking directly to the camera. This activity is seen as part of the learning process. Videos are made in the students’ own time and they are free to practice and record as many versions as they see fit in order to complete the task. However, the final video must be in one take (i.e. they must not be edited). Moreover, you should be able to see the student clearly in the video (i.e. No sunglasses!). If you think that the text is being read you can arrange for the student to re-record it or repeat the talk in class. Please make students aware of this fact.

YEAR 2014: GOOD AND BAD POINTS:
I have had many activities this year, I started off new professional challenges, I had to take up on more responsibilities and as a whole, this year has been very hectic in professional terms.
By January, I was wanting to go back to teaching at university; at the time I was teaching training courses for professionals and working for several big and important companies. I had the chance of meeting a lot of new people, I could learn many new things related to all the areas my students used to work in… but in my heart there was a crave for academic life, and so I went back to teaching (different from training).
Even though there have been very many situations I have to be thankful for, there have also been other negative issues, many of them cannot be told, but some others are widely spread gossips already! LOL
The hardest part of the year was when I finished an over-three-years relationship, it matched with my changing job period so, since I was so concentrated on teaching, I did not suffer the traumatizing mourning process, though still I felt it. I took up on more activities, I got to meet new people and I could eventually broaden the circle of friends, which helped me overcome my loss more easily.
Well, as you may see, this year has been intense and dynamic, I believe it is better this way because there is less time to complain about the bad situations and perhaps more motivations to go on and excel at one's passion, in my case: teaching.
