Week 7

In this week we learned about how to present our PowerPoint presentations. It is very important to show our slides as professionals because they are reflecting our personality. It should be organized; they must not have a lot of information in one slide. They have to be presented in graphic organizers or with pictures. They do not have to present a lot of pictures. It distracts the auditory and instead of listening to you they will be interested in the pictures you put in your presentations. Also your explanation is very important, you have to present some key words in your slides and the rest will be explained by you in a concise and clear way. Be sure that your slides are clearly and easy to read. It will be very comfortable for people who are at the back of the class or speech you are developing.

Week 6




In this week we learned about a useful topic “Effective Use of Technology in the EFL Classroom”. That were involved some subtopics like: The Internet as a teaching & learning tool, Web sites for the EFL classroom, Bookmarking web sites and Nicenet which we can use in a future because nowadays we are in a world that everything is changing and we have to be prepared specially in technology and how to use it in education that can be very important for us as future teachers. 
Internet is a wonderful tool that we can find many resources about how to teach a language. Also with this media we can interact with other people, so we can share our ideas and wonders that we have. We can find many different pages: social pages, news pages, educational pages, etc like: http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/index.html,http://www.mes-english.com/flashcards.php, http://www.edmodo.com/. And we should not forget a very useful source "Blooger" http://www.blogger.com that we can write reflections about any important topic we learn in a class, so we can remember what we learned during the years.

Week 5

In this week we learn about ICT in education. According to UNESCO, ICT is very essential to educate people. I think this web page is very useful and important for us, because as UNESCO applies, ICT is a way to be updated in technology. Also, it can help us to show our quality of education in a very meaningful way. However, is very important to analyze that this web page is seen around the world, so many people can share many things and enjoy having this wonderful tool. The most interesting thing that I can emphazise is that the education is developed essentially for minorities and to have the equity in women and men, so education can involve every single person. We are in a world of changes and many people make of their days as a challenge. Many people prepare themselves to change their minds and develop our education to be better each day; in this way we realize that this web page as teachers can develop our critical thinking and develop our way to teach according to students' necessities. You can take a look in this web page to have more information: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/themes/icts. 


Also, we review more about DIIGO were we have to put 30 educative pages in there. There was an oral lesson about it. Then, our teacher gave us a very useful web page to develop our listening skill http://esl-lab.com/ where we can have many advantages for beginners elementary and advaced English where we can develop our four skills at the same time. It helps us to memorize things by infering and understand any topic we listen to.
