WEEK 4

"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow"
Jonh Dewey.

Hello my friends! I want to share with you all the knowledge that I had learned in the last week in my Internet and Multimedia classes. First the teacher explain us about the site that we have to work in. It is called "Diigo", it is a bookmarking account to bookmark websites to teach english.In that web site we learned some things such as: how we can organize our web pages into files and we had to write a short description for each one including key words to help us to find the web pages that we have into our accounts. Second, for the next class we had to read this artcle: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/themes/icts,and read the three first sections (POLICY, LIFELONG LEARNING AND TEACHER EDUCATION) that are on the left part of this web site. Then,we had to write a paragraph (100 words max.) to give our comments about them. Finally, I wrote my paragraph with this information: UNESCO facilitates the initiatives of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in order to improve teacher's education. ICT strengths the planning of education and it studies in which way technology can be applied to improve quality and ensure inclusion about education. Also,this program integrate ICT in teacher's development by supporting communities , where the education takes place: at work, in the comminity, in the family and in social and civic life. Furthermore the quality of teacher has been passed some challenges in teaching approaches,so the world needs more teachers to reach internationally-agreed on education. UNESCO believes that all these problems can be solved including ICT in the standars of competences for teachers.

In another hand, I learned in this class reading a lot and with my teacher's help. Reading this article I develop my reading skills, becuase I had to infer the information in order to improve my knowledge. Also, to create my diigo account and work in my lists my teacher's explanation was very important because in this way I can develop my diigo account succesfully.

Consecuently, all the information that I received about ICT in education is very important to develop my teacher's roll because it helps me to understand in a better way how does technology should be include in our lesson plans. Also, my diigo account will help me to organize my web pages about different topics and it is important to share my knowledge in my forum classroom.
