WEEK 10...Saying Bye

Week 10

Dear Donna and to all my e-friends

We have to write a summary about what we have learned during this online course, I have been thinking in all the sharing knowledge, the discussions, the reading the questions the answers and it is difficult to summarized it in just a new blog entry, in my opinion every single topic was helpful and it had something new, I learned a lot and also the most important thing I did, it is that I put into practiced what I learned, be able to share  what we have, what we know, what we do it is what it makes the difference, in being just the teacher, or the teacher friend of our students, this online course was usefully in a 100%.

The studied topics like: How to write learning objectives, in the ABCD style (Audience-Behavior-Condition-Degree), Create our own Delicious page, Writing a Lesson Plan, Project-based Learning, WebQuests, and Rubrics, Interactive Classes, Interactive Power Point are just a little example of all the learning achievement.

I will conclude my last blog entry the last one of this great course, congratulating each one of us for our hard work and to our tutor DONNA who has been very patient and supportive.

Thanks to all of you my dear e-friends, hoping one day we can meet, face to face ; )

Warm Greetings from Ecuador

 Week 9 ...  ; )

Week number nine, what a week, finishing the Project, Reading and discussing about Multiples Intelligences was not an easy task, but here we are ending an online course after weeks of work, Unavailable…

The multiple intelligences theory is a model proposed by Howard Gardner, in which the intelligence is not seen as something unitary, which brings together different specific capabilities with different level of generality, but as a set of multiple intelligences, distinct and separate. Gardner defines intelligence as "the ability to solve problems or make products that are valuable in one or more cultures".

In my opinion trying to explain MI is hard, but in classes with our students everything becomes an amazing world.

Tech in advance

It is incredible to know how many technological tools have been created, thanks Jeff we had the opportunity to explore another one such ANVILL (A National Virtual Language Lab), that gives me the idea about why not to create a technological tool by myself?, well this is just an idea but it may be possible and I will try to do it.

On the other hand, to present my task I was surfing about different webs, and I found the WizIQ as a very interesting tool because here you have the opportunity to create your own virtual classes and this is very simple, you just have to surf there and sign up in it, in order to have your own account, so I invite to all of you to go there.

Here I will share with you the simple steps to work in wiziq.

Best regards;

With a computer or without one?

                                 Week 7

Amazingly we are in the middle of week 7, I cannot believe it, I have learned so many new and useful things that I am sure will beneficing my students, this week readings make me think in how important is to have access to technology, how necessary is to have a computer, and also how sad is the reality of some countries in the world that cannot have this opportunity, even though a good teacher have to work with the materials he/she can have. It would be great that all the school in everywhere and all the kids and teenagers can have their own laptops.

I am not saying with this, that we have to forget the books, or going to the library, or research something in the old books we have at home.

Greetings
