I think it is a great experience, great to have them on our Section Feedback SCP
When I look at them I feel happy. It is not only focusing on the lesson but doing something different. I find this motivating. Let’s have them both on the walls and the SCP and I want to continue creating them.
TESOL GREECE- March 22nd 2015 Sibel Taskin Simsek sibelsimsek@sabanciuniv.edu

I am delighted to be part of this kind of work, we have great time while working on it. I am happy to publish them online. Whenever I check them I feel great and I want these kinds of tasks to continue. It helps us to improve our speaking skills as well. I prefer to have them both on the walls and online because sseing our work around makes me happy and it helps to revise things. The photos also reamin as good memories.
