Networked student

This video shows the 21st century student and make us reflect on the way we, teachers, are preparing professionals nowadays. In the language learning context it is possible to establish a well-organized virtual course for students to get involved in the connectivism era with much more confidence.

21st century Educational Reality

What does it all mean?

It really motivates me to continue opening my students’ minds to the constant possibility of change.

We need to teach things that people can use in different contexts, things that are meaningful to their lives and that, for sure, they will be using in their near future.

We should encourage the use of different and new technological devices in our teaching/learning atmosphere.

There are many people out there and many more are born every minute, so we should also teach our students personal, cultural, social and work values in order to help them understand and interact with the globalized world they are constantly facing nowadays.

As teachers we have a lot to do now, so do not procrastinate.

"My expectations"

HTML clipboard

Hello,

I have many expectations for this second part of the year, but here I will only mention the ones regarding the New Learning Environment course that I am about to begin. I expect …

1. To handle time appropriately in order to be able to send or present every task on time.


2. To take the most of the course since it is going to be an excellent opportunity to explore deeply and learn a lot about new teaching and learning trends, so today generations can work with a good attitude and autonomously to enhance their learning processes.


3. To develop complete and meaningful posts in order to influence positively the development of the forums.


4. To keep in mind concepts such as collaboration, reflection, creativity, motivation, innovation, between others, to always give the best from myself.


5. To be able to successfully apply what I will be learning or reviewing during the semeste.
