Reflections at the end of the second week

Were the learners successful in completing the tasks assigned?
This week there were 13 posts done by students, significantly more than the previous week.  

Did the activity work like you expected? Were there any outcomes that you did not expect?
I have been very please with the way in which the programme has developed.  students appear very confident with the process of using Google Plus to access information and share their own learning.  

An unexpected outcome has been the class teacher actively taking part in the programme through her own posts to the Google Plus page.  I have also been pleasantly surprised to receive emails form students thanking me for the feedback that I have passed on to them.
 
Were the learners engaged/motivated by the activity?
During the time that I am in class with students they continue to appear to be very motivated by the programme.  This is reflected in their use of mandarin whenever I visit class, for whatever reason, over the course of the week.

I do feel that if a little more time was provided in class, I would receive posts from all students.  However, all students do have access to the Internet at home and should be able to post out of school hours.
