Week 10: Wrap-up

Goodbye Poems for Friends

The hardest part of any friendship is when it's time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. The universe may seem huge and the rift between friends on opposite side of the world may seem a great distance. There are many tools available with which we can communicate, but even without these tools there is a secret that only rea -l friends know, and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one.

Anonymous During all this time we learned many things and one of the most important was to be friends and work as a team. We had the opportunity to learned a lot and the most important to share the knowledge with the students, so I believe that this on- line course help us a lot. 


THANKS ROBERT FOR ALL


GOOD BYE MY VIRTUAL FRIENDS AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ONCE IN MY LIFE.

Week 9: Learning styles - technology connections

 Well week 9

At this time I believe that we are tired, the course is very interesting but at the same time is exhausting, and the of  nine weeks I begin to feel tired, but fortunatly we are on week 10 and this week we finish, I have mixed feelings because I know that  at the end of this week we can rest but I know too that our  opportunity to continue learning will stop. 


During this week we had a discussion in which we had comment about the way that we teach in our classes and more than this how the students have an effective learning process. Teens and adults teens love to use technology and in some cases they know more technology than us so the technology in not part of the future is the present so we have to work using real material using techniques that like them and make the class as a real lab. 


I read an article based in  

Ian J. McCoog, MEd, is the technology
integration specialist for Southern Columbia
High School in Catawissa, Pennsylvania. . copyright © 2007 Heldref Publications


The article says:


 Technology has changed the appearance and operation of modern society. Our world has become digital, and our classrooms are steadily following suit. The teacher remains the focal point, but new resources are adapting how instruction occurs. For example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) projector was once an unheard-of expense for schools. The power of the projector has now evolved from simple presentation device to the heartbeat of interactive whiteboards, which bring content to life for all learners. Technology integration is not only changing the way we think but also the way we teach. 




We had to send the final project too taking into consideration all the recommendations made by our patner. 


So the week was nice and interesting. 




See you
