Last Week .- the course ends

We have been working for ten weeks, learning many new things that for sure will serve us in our daily activities in the classrooms, I remember when I began talking about technology in the first post, then we continued the whole process talking about technology and the final conclusion is that we have to use it everyday,  teachers must be skillful when using computers because we have to teach our students, if you remember students learn with our example they learn by imitating their teachers, of course at the end the will become autonomous learners but after giving them the tools they need to succeed .

Another aspect we have to keep in mind is that we have to assess our students the most accurate we can, so they can trust our job as teachers and also because they will have the chance to improve what they are learning everyday, I also agree on the use of rubrics to do a great job and reinforce what the students need to reinforce, as I told you those days, in my country is a little bit difficult to implement rubrics right now but some teachers are working on that to improve the quality of education .

I really enjoyed working and playing with some tools internet offers, I liked the experience of doing some power points really interactive, I learned how  to do them, and I also learned how to design web quests and so on, when I applied them in class it was kind of rewarding see the students' faces.. they really enjoyed those activities.

We have to consider the use of technology in our classrooms, teachers are learning new things , they are learning to learn because the society pushes us to do the best for the students, we live in a era of technological changes, but these changes focus on the ability a student has to learn, we are applying tasks according to the level of acquisition a student has, we have to adapt all the tools strategies and methodologies in this process.

We must take advantage of the resource internet has, we have to be a little bit curious, a teacher is a researcher inside the classroom and we have to change our point of view of just going to class an share something we know, let's share more than that for the benefit of our students.
