WEEK 5

"The limits of your language are the limits of your world"
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Hello my friends! I am really excited to share with you all my experiences during my last week in my Internet and Multimedia class.

First, the teacher explained us about a new site that we are going to use, it is called Dropbox. Dropbox is a free service that we can use to share any type of document like: PPT, Word documents, music, videos, etc. This site is simple to use it doesn't require be loaded or attached, you can just open in any computer with internet and your documents will be there. Then, the teacher had been send us an invitetion to our g-mail account to can create an account in Dropbox, It was really easier.

Second, we had to present our PPT about UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers that is in the next web site http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/themes/icts/teacher-education/unesco-ict-competency-framework-for-teachers/. I had to work with my partner, however we made our PPT based on chapter 2. It was about The Principles of this Organization has about the ICT reform in Edcucation. This topic was very interesting for me to learn how ICT has been included in our classes, UNESCO mantains that teachers has to be able to use technology in class to develop the economy grown of all world, Education is the based of economy's world.

Third, the teacher explained us that we have to participate in the Diigo forum and write a comment about the next web page ICT in Education | United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. I included my paragraph here to give you my idea about this page: 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.. After I did that, I had to create my diigo forum I choose this web site: learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/...teachers and I invited some classmates to participate.

Finally, we took a quiz about Plagiarism and APA Style. After that we checked a new web site: www.teachingenglish.org.uk/ and we had to create a new account. Then the teacher asked for an oral lesson about our Diigo account. At the end, we cheched a web page about listening it was very interesting and I enjoyed to use it in my Multimedia class.
