WEEK 12

I am not a teacher; only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead–ahead of myself as well as of you.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) British dramatist, critic, writer.



In the last week in my Internet and Multimedia class I learned about Web 2.0. According to this web site http://www.maestrosdelweb.com/editorial/web2/ Web 2.0 is the representation of the evolution of traditional applications to web applications focused on the end user. Therefore, I understood that Web 2.0 are tools that are available in Internet to share some applications. I think that these tools are very important to use the Interner in a better way. Also, I appreciate all these applications because these help us to share information around the world and to develop new knowledge because it makes our life easier.

Additionally, the teacher explained us about Google Docs, it is use to create and edit documents. We shared some advantages and disadvantages of the use of it. For examples some advantages are: you can see and edit wherever you are, share your information and control who can access it. And a disadvantage of the use of it is that not everybody has acess to Internet.

In the classroom we develop an activity using Google Docs. It was very useful, because we can understand about how include Google Docs into our lesson plans. The activity was develop in pairs, and we had fun doing this activity. I think that without our theacher guide it would be so difficult to understand how it works. In my future life as a teacher This new program will help me to share my lesson plan and to send to my students their grades.

In conclusion, my last week was very useful because the teacher also explained us how to work on our digital portfolios. She gave us the installador of Cuadernia, and we were practicing the use of it. At the end of our class, the teacher explained us Prezi, she gave us an example of how to teach using this program. I will create a class using Prezi program. In my opinion using this program I will help my students to learn in an easy way about a topic.

WEEK 11

Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught.
George Savile, Marquis of Halifax (1633-1695) English statesman and author.

Have a lesson plan could be great, but applicated it was difficult. This week I have to present my class in just 15 minutes, but unfortunately it wasn't. First, I prepared with my partener our lesson plan with the use of technology for students of English of fifth year of basic education. Obviously, we prepared a PPT, too. We expected to use the time that the teacher gave us, but we had some problems during the class with the speakers. Second, the use of technology was a good idea but sometimes it could fail, like in my situation. Besides, we completed our lesson plan. The aim of our lesson was achieved for our students. Third, we made some activities for our students to have a free strees environment. At the end, we follow our lesson plan, so now we appreciate how important is prepare a class. In conclusion, this practice was good for us, because in the future we will be able to create a lesson plan using technology and applicated it in the class hour.

WEEK 10

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
Unknown

In this last week I learned about how a lesson plan can be develop with the use of technology. Also during the class we uplated our second PPT and some classmates presented their PPT about the four skills focused on the process of teaching.

First, we learned about Lesson plan basic components: General information, Lesson objectives, Materials, technology resources and web addresses, Alternative activity, Adaptations for Special Learners, Instructional Procedures, Assessment and Homework. Lesson objectives must be based on ABCD Method, some experts suggest clearly objective helps teachers and students to comprehend and evaluate the class. So "A" is for audience; "B" is for behavior, "C" for conditions and "D" for degree of mastery needed.

Second, the PPt should be interactive for the students and it should follow the process of the class. We had to include the use of technology to create our PPT, it was a little difficult, because we have to do a lot of reserach to find all the activities and information to create a good lesson plan.

Third, the teacher checked our lesson plan. Then she gave as feedback to improve it. The ideas that the teacher gave us were very important to develop our objectives of the class. My class was about emotions and feelings. In order to learnt about the topic I have done some researches on the net.

In conclusion, learnt about how make a good lesson plan using technology will help me in the future to prepare a lesson following all the steps and use information clear and appropiate to the topic. Also, the teacher gave us some examples of bad lesson plans in order to learn of those errors and don't commit them again.

WEEK 9

"The way to be nothing is to do nothing."
Nathaniel Howe

The last week in my class of Internet and Multimedia we talked about how made a lesson plan using technology. Then with the teacher's explanation we research more about teaching the four main skills. So, after that we try to make a better PPT based on our new research. Because we have to improve the last PPT. At the end, we made like a discussion about all our interrogates about What is a lesson plan and how create one.

Basically, the teacher gave us some examples about lesson plans, then she explained us that we have to create a similar using a 45 minutes class. With my parter we worked first in improve our PPT focused on the process of teaching. After, we select the topic for our lesson plan and we started to make our PPT for our microteching presentation.

Similarly, the last classes we learnt all these topics with my teacher's explanation. She gave us some easy instructions about how we should make our presentations. Also, the use of technology was very important in the class, because we are learning how to introduce technology in our lesson plans.

As well all the knowledge that I have received in my Internet and Multimedia class. I think that all these new knowledge will help me in my future profession as a teacher. Addionally, create a lesson plan with all the steps that it requires is very important to have a goal for each class and achieved with my future students.
