Week 5, in the middle!!

Hello, 

I'm really happy to see how many new things we’ve learnt so far. In this week, I discovered new technological tools to motivate and assess our students but mainly for teaching in a better way. For me, the most important is my students improve and develop all their skills, sometimes it's really difficult to get this but it's not impossible. As professors, we have to innovate and get involved with the technological advances in order to keep up with our students and their new ways to study.

In the course of this, I’ve discovered new resources that I didn’t know, new interactive things that make easy the process of teaching and learning. Sometimes is complicated but all the knowledge that we get, it´s all we need to put in practice our work as teachers.

Nice week 6!!

  1. Hi, Ana.

    I suppose you enjoyed this week activities as much as I did. In regards to teaching and learning, I think we should integrate all of the four language skills into our lessons or projects as you said, some of them will be more emphasized than others depending on what they are required to do.

    Don't you find Rubrics as a gift? I can save us lots of time when assessing and we can avoid, in my case, the usual "I didn't understand what to do".

    And, it is complicated sometimes, we need excellent time management skills in order to develop our ideas towards teaching and learning.

    Greetings,

  2. Hi Ana
    It is nice to see your reflection on your blog, I agree with you about the use of resources to motivate students to learn and these in turn help to improve and develop our own skills. These help us to innovate and do the best we can for the improvement of our students.
    The various assessment techniques as you have mentioned also help do the same, assess students and at the same time encourage them to learn.
