success, or not

You know when you get very enthusiastic about something and you kind of build up your expectations and get excited and all and it all falls through? Well, this does not seem to be the case with the idea taken from the IH workshop on new technologies from a few weeks ago.
I am rather chuffed with the relative success of inicitate taken on recently of creating the blogs with and for my students. Sara and Raquel seem to be keen writers producing an average of an entry every couple of days, which is not bad.
Useful and fear-overcoming and a solid two-hour session as it was the last one on technology, today's been never-ending and boring. Too theoretical, detailing different three-letter acronyms designating approaches and methodologies applied in teaching languages: AAA, PPP, ARC, suggestopedia and others. I think Roger and other speakers manipulate us, saying certain information is or not relevant (or whatever word is more suitable here) to suit their needs. Or is it the trends in the market? I didn't buy certain things he's tried to sell us today.
