Today is the last day of week 7, and I have to admit that a lot of information is still in my head, very interesting ideas participants shared, and new things learned. During this week we learned about implementing autonomy in our students so they become responsibles for their own learning process, and therefore we as teachers can provide the tools for reaching that level. As for one computer classroom, it is a great way of introducing technology into the classroom, if you dont have a lab equiped with all facilities, you can use your own computer as a learning station, to foster the use of technology.
This week I also had to create a lesson using only one computer, and I am happy with the result: playing some videos, teaching new vocabulary, ppts, etc. There are so many things we can do with only one computer in the classroom.
Now we are working on our final project, and we have to work with a partner, which is great, so we can have a feedback and support.
So let us continue learning and applying this new ideas to our classes.

Hello, Juan
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to read your post.
I agree with you when you have said that it is important for us as teachers to make learners responsible for their own learning.
Yes, technology can help us as an effective assistant in doing so. What we need to understand is that how we can play our roles from the background and by letting the students come into the front ground. If this is the case, the students will also try to be more active and gradually take their decisions and responsibilities for their own learning.
Best,
