Welcome to my Blog !!

Introduction:

The purpose of this blog began with the idea of uploading my work during the semester. However, now that this finished I realize that it is much more than that. You may wonder why? It is because, today I can realize that every single work that I did means a learning that was very important to me, due to I was able to do things that I never thought that I could do and I must say that this gratifies me so much. Of course, this process does not end here, although, we have received enough tools to continue this road, we should carry on our learning and update ourselves to be a contribution in this area, especially for our students. 

Contents:

In this blog, you will see any ideas about how technology can be used and how important it is. And... I have to say that my favorite tool is edmodo.

As a conclusion, in this subject I learnt that the technology is a good tool to use in our classes. Definitely, I will consider it when I have to design my lesson plans and I will continue improving and learning to be able to apply all my knowledge in the classroom with my students.

I hope you enjoy it !

Identifying Our Approaches to Language Learning Technologies: Improving Professional Development

According to an article that I read, I am an "instrumental user" because I think when the teachers plan very well their lesson plan using technology, they should be able to control the effects that the technology causes on learning of the students. 

However, I think I can be a critical user as well because I am aware of the impact of the technology on students in terms of behavior and how they communicate with others.

On the other hand, the article gives the opportunity to understand the educational use of the technology encouraging to the readers to identify the best approaches to improve their practice. And also, you can find a mini lesson plans to develop with the students.

As I have said in my blog, the technology is a very good tool to use in classes with the students, but it is very important we as teachers learn day after day about new applications and programs that appear in this area.

Shotcut video and Audacity Projects

These tools are very useful when you want to encourage the students to use the imagination because both programs have a variety of applications for improving your work. However, it is important to mention that editing is not easy but I think we can improve if we want it.

Here an example of Shotcut:

Storyboard and Comic...

I think that learn how to make a storyboard and comic gave us the possibility of beginning to awaken our creative side. So...

This is my first Storyboard

This is my first Comic

Edmodo as a pedagogical tool...

The use of this educational platform is a tool that as teachers to be will be very beneficial in our teaching in the classroom. Because Edmodo is an application whose main objective is to allow communication between teachers and students. Therefore, I think is very convenient not only to work with the students in a private and closed virtual environment where they can create tasks. And also, for teachers, it is very useful tool to evaluate the students tasks.  

As a student of pedagogy, I can say that I was very pleased to work with this tool. I learned a lot and I realised how useful it is. Because we could share messages, files, links, and We as students, received instructions given by the teacher in every class. For example, I was able to share all of the works that I did during the semester like this:

 Storyboard about a fable:

Wikispaces...

Memes to learn ! 

I think this activity was very fun. I did not know how to create a meme, now I am sure will be a great tool for gaining attention of the students.
