Week 9, what a week!!!!!!!! Full of good, nice and useful information in order to put in practice in class.
A good and better resource is to apply in class is the use of technology and multiple intelligences, the students are able to learn but using another methods, not only the classic ones that includes the teacher as the protagonist of the class and students like simple spectators, using music, or music videos , internet tools, acting, roll plays, debates, conferences, expositions, etc, we can improve the level of language that we are going to learn, the example; I like the part when the author mention that we have to let the students do their own tasks, let them free to talk and explore and exploit their knowledge is really nice to put in practice such as; "Ask them to choose appropriate music to go with a slide show, artwork, or poem. Create and record hand-made instruments. Add other intelligences such as drawing patterns of music or writing about music and sounds."
We as teachers have to be ready to use and in some cases experiment in our classes. We are very clear that the use of the technology in class, in the academic process motivate, cheer up, get easy class, improve the knowledge, create a nice environment in class, promote the autonomy in learning etc.
We have to learn as teachers to analyze the class behavior and act depending on the class situation, because students like to move around, they want to share their knowledge and information that they collect, talking about benefits about the use of multiple intelligences in the daily class work, the answer is really simple; endless, the students can create the work, I mean the knowledge, the students can work more on their strengths and become more experts and independents in the moment that they show the problem, also they can develop all their a skills to try to solve problems in a real life context, and of course they will be prepare for future tasks and challenges.
Hello Eduardo,
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to share new ideas with you!
I agree with you, this week was hard. But it worth the effort.
Using those great technology tools we engage learners as active actors in the development of classes.
Teachers always should be well prepared to work with a variety of learning styles. We have to facilitate their learning all time.
Finally, allowing students independence is also a good idea. In that way they become autonomous and creators of their own learning.
Bye,
