My last task entry

a) Knowledge gained

During these months, I have learned a lot of new things. To be sincere at the beginning of this course, I was afraid because I did not know much about technology. But now I can say that I really like technology because I discovered that it is an interesting subject in which we can learn to interact and learn from others. I also have found very useful the internet tools such as; voicethread, voxopop, prezi, hot potatoes, blogger, delicious and so on. That is why; I am going to take them into account.  In general, I want to say that now I have an idea on how to implement and use the different tools in a classroom.

b)  What attitude must be needed to work with online tools?

 I consider that we need to have a positive attitude and be eager to learn new things, because to work with online tools is always a challenge, so that we have to be patient if we want to do an excellent job. 

c) How these tools can be implemented in other subjects. Give specific examples, please.

There are many ways in which these tools can be implemented in a classroom, for example:

You can use blogger in any level and in any subject such as, didactic, literature, etc. You can ask students to write journals, essays, reflective learning, and so on.

You can use it in so many different subject areas and for different purposes. For example, you can ask students to share some pictures and videos about any topic, and then they can record their voice or write a comment about it. You could even collaborate with a class from another state or country by choosing a topic such as pollution and have different students share their comments. 

It can be used to help students develop their oral speaking skills by having students reply to questions using voice recorded answers and by hearing the recorded answers from other students. They just need to choose any topic and then they can start to talk about it.

In this tool students can create interesting presentations using any topic. They can add pictures, texts, videos, documents, background music, etc.

It is an excellent tool in which allow us to keep the different links we are using. We can use this tool in research, because it can help us a lot to have all the list of links we are using during our investigation.

d) What are some things that should be added or left out in a future course?

Well, all the things you taught us during the course were really useful for us, but it would be great to implement more tools because it will help a lot to the future students.

e) Suggestions to improve the course.

I really liked all the tools we used during the course, but I would like to have learned more tools, because it is really necessary to learn a little bit of everything.  I know that it is kind of difficult because of the time, but you can ask students to bring more ideas to work with different tools in order that they can try with new things and everyone can learn from each other, etc. It would be great!

 Thank you so much for everything, Teacher. Blessings!
