Week 10 farewell

Campeche México. Sunset

Finally, we are in the last week.we are ending a chapter in our academical life. Was a great satisfaction work with people from another countries that extend the vision about education in other countries. I could know  many tips and new ideas that my partners use in class, about their students and the techniques that they use to introduce technology in class.

I was taking an online course,so I had an idea about how it would develop,but this was different, was in English!! For my was a great satisfacction develop it in a second languange, particularly because learnt technological tools that I can use in class an encourage to my students to learn in a different way.
I have to confess that  sometimes I felt so bored or dispirited because I felt that just using the book and CD-romm didn't contributed much, just I was continue in the classical class, sudenly I began to create a tool but I though that needed something else. Now I learn new tools that complete my knwledge to create a new class enviroment.

Thanks for all the information that provide us, for the time and for create this kind of curses. All the teachers should be continue course and don't let that the dust invade us.

Cheers

Week 9

This week we have the project task, was a hard work but  rewarding. Personally I remembered about the different intelligences, I knew about that but I didn't know how to create  forms to use in class and catch the student's attencion in better form.

We are close to the end, this week we have compile all the objetives that we want to reach in class, we have new technological tools that will help to change the form to teach. We want to our students be more autonomus and they feel their subjects innovative and different.


In general this week was interesting for the final project. I would like to make a lot of things in class, just I need organize to make the activities in class.

Week 8

Finally, we are ending the week 8, I have to confess it was too hard, however so productive, I learnt how to use many web pages and tools on internet like google docs, I explored much activities for each one. I feel surprised of all the things that we find on the web, it's like if I were discovered a new world. I knew many things about web but now I have much more focus in education.


This information will be so useful to innovate my English class, to promote the learner autonomy, and create a new and active school enviroment.


In my own experience, the students feel encourage using the new implements for class. I have tried to use the technolical ideas and the results has been useful. My students have been changing   their form to see English class. 


We have much activities this week, I am sure we have advantaged all about the curse and I think we will apply .

Learner Autonomy. Week 7

Learner autonomy a great topic for this week, I think the teachers sometimes ask us, how  achieve learner autonomy with our students, it's not a easy way, especially when the students think that the techer should resolve all the problems in class. We read this week the autonomy way is step by step, and I think that we applying the tools that we learn, will be a easier way.

The classical teacher, that all time was dictating in class and want to memorize all task is old fashion, now the schools have implemented education reform, that has innovate the education and helps to encourage too students be independent, no just follow the teacher instruction.

Interactive Power point, Week 6

Every week learn more in this course.I think, I had some tools kwnoledge but I didn't have enough elements and initiative to create. Was wonderful and funny. I liked create a interactive power point. I learned to add new elements in that. I didn't know add a video, know I can upload aditional things. That is so cretive, attract the students and encourage them.

Since 2 weeks ago, I was creating a video activity with my students, I have had amazing results, I achive encourage them to speak,listen in English and lose the afraid to don in front of their partners. That was a great activity.

Now, talking about large class, sometimes it's difficult to have that kind of class, especially to check task or written exams.This week we have different readings that give us different tips to use in large classes. That is useful.

Rubrics,Technology, PBL

This week have been so amazing, I achieved connect ideas, create an activity to my students that I think they are so encourage to do. I feel comfortable, because now I have tools to improve the class enviroment. sometimes I felt the class was bored, and it need something to atract the student's attencion, Now believe I catch up. Making up PBL, technology, encouraging my students to develop different skills, and stuff like that.

This will be a great pleasure, because the students will, change the classical idea about classes. step by step the students leave the idea that the teacher has all the obligation to teach, and give all, gradually they will invole in their roll and take their functions.

Finally, I would like congratulate all my web parteners, in Mexico, next May 15th we celebrate The Teacher's Day, so From Mexico "Congratulations"



A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.

Week 4 Skills

This week I was so rewarding for me. I could share expirences with my online- classmates to develop the different skills teaching English. I Discovered new ways, tools and a lot many ideas to introduce the technology in class. I don't need internet in my classroom, I can plan all activities and objetives in such away the students feel atractive and involve with that.

I was trying introduce technology in my class activities, but honestly I couldn't completely. Now I have much ideas and tools to use. I decide take up all technological activities and do the best.
Much teachers have books like a resorce in class, frecuently think is the only to use. That is a big wrong, because the class take a bored, repetitive and sometimes tired enviroment. We need transform our teaching. That is the way to transmit all to the students.
