Hi, everybody
very happy to end week 2, learning a lot day by day with the help of all your comments and ideas, very hard work also, but so interesting because the use of the tech.
Our first task was creating a blog… I was quiet an experience. I never knew that there were different types of blogs for example Tutor Blog, Class Blog or Learner Blog as we could read on the Blogging for ELF. We also learned a new method of developing objectives for our classes, in which we have to take into account: the Audience, Behavior, Condition and Degree. This method is called ABCD. We also learned to use delicious. It was really interesting to know that there is a way you can get your favorite sites any where you are, without using your own computer.
There were also other interesting things, for instance how to help learners develop effective listening skills bringing attention to the methods we use and the type of materials we introduce our learners to. Creating presentations in power point was an interactive way of teaching and also of motivating the students. The first benefit of it is that this program is very easy to use because it is an application of Microsoft office and almost everybody has access to it. Another benefit is that we can introduce whatever we need in order to create an interesting presentation.
Now I`m thinking about the use of the tools and let me tell you that it is not so difficult to use them. Anyway, in the first part of the week I worked in the assignment 1. It was about searching online. I am a bit lost at the beggining but with the correct information posted by partners , the work, little by little become handle and easy. I always was a user and dependent of Google, but now I know that we have a lot of ways to work.
ReplyDeleteDefinetely in this week I learned a lot of technology, tools in order to use with my students and give me a huge selfconfidence to continue working en this new way.
And the best interesting thing is that I can share information and know new people with the same interests about education as well.
Hello Eduardo
ReplyDeleteNice reflective post. I agree the best thing about this class is the people we share it with. We are creating a real community of learners.
