What did I learn at this training?

All three sessions I attended were very interesting.

I found the sessions to be very informative.  Tony's session about essay writing and grading was the one that was the most useful in my teaching practice.  He provided many resources that I will use as well as valuable insight from a more experienced teacher.  Hector's session was not very applicable to my own course, however I found it very interesting to compare his experience in Israel with what I know about the Colombian educational context.  Furthermore, he provided fascinating examples of project-based learning.  Rafael's session was very interesting just for my own general knowledge.  Even though I am not teaching Ancient Rome this year, I very possibly may teach it again in the future.  Furthermore, he provided a very interesting example of how to use one's own experiences and travel photographs in a useful way in class to engage students.
