Week 7 - Efficiency Learning Signs

At this time I learned so much, I know definitely the challenge will be to put in order each of the ideas and concepts discussed in the last 6 weeks.

I have hard work to build my draft for next week and I'm expecting a great result, derived from that I have the knowledge and tools to achieve it.

This week we create a new rubric for my first one computer classroom, as I hope to apply soon and I want to share in this blog:

In this week despite being learning new things, I was applying concepts from previous weeks, as rubrics and lesson plans.

I am satisfied with the work because this time all tasks are performed in less time, a sign of effectiveness in teaching and learning process.

A thousand, thousand, thousand thanks.

Week 6 - Interactive PPT and Project on going...

For now I can not apply everything learned with my group of students of SMEs, because, after all I learned that it is best to structure a whole new learning program. ABCD will use the same method, supplemented by a tree of lessons that lead to a general objective of the program.

Next week I'll be ready to present a first draft of what will be the program at Level I.

Also in my Lesson Plan Week 4 did not consider the Interactive PPT and after exercise of this week 6, I think I definitely include something about it.

On the other hand, I have to explore the various tools that have recommended my BTSfriends, because I'm re-evaluating to make the videos of lessons in any of these tools instead of youtube, I do not know yet but I have EXTREMELY SURPRISED what you can do with Prezi and Voki!! but both tools are new to me and I have to study them, to start using them and of course included in my new lesson plan.

 About the rubrics I have to work at least 2 more that are related to the evaluation of previous lessons I mention in my Lesson Plan Week 4 (ABC Tense Present, Past and Future and Pronunciation About ABC) in fact I must to build 2 lesson plans for.

So, I have much work ahead ... but begin to document and prepare a complete lesson, using BTS-IW technological tools learned, as part of my final project.

Week 5 - On the Race...

The experience this week has been instrumental in my view of the approach we want to give my English teaching project for SMEs.

I had a clear general idea of what I wanted to teach and therefore assess, but after what has been learned from the first week until the fifth, I am quite certain of how I must to do the following:
1. Define my goals.
2. Define lesson plans.
3. Define the resources available and appropriate for each lesson plan.
4. Define my methods of assessment and rules of the game.

Even now I am convinced of 2 things:
1. The importance of establishing methods of interaction between group members efficiently.
2. I want to implement (starting with the basics of course) a project of Teaching English via the Internet, aimed at SMEs. In a completely virtual e-learning scheme. I know it's a great challenge, but I'm confident that it is entirely possible.

Fully motivated to continue my own race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQY7cp3dOJ0&feature=related

Week 4 - Benefits of Technology

Each time is shaped more strongly the study objectives and the technological tools that exist and can help us to overcome all the obstacles that a common teaching program confronts us.

To be building my first lesson plan I was aware of the detail and hard work that has to be behind in order to build a training program in English, which is my overall goal in the long term

It is very gratifying to work today, we have derived a method been led down very well structured.

This experience forced to me to think very well in the learning objectives and the best tools for the group context that I have.

For now, I am convinced of the usefulness and accessibility of the 3 tools I have chosen as the basis of  my first lesson plan:

1. Blogger.
2. Youtube Channel.
3. Skype.

Now, what follows is much, much, much work to be able to do really!!!!!!
