DAY 1

Today I started the  course “Information and Communication Technology for Teaching English as a Foreigh Language.” at the UTA. This course results very challenging for teachers because our students are skilfull at usig new technology. We, teachers, must be updating constantly.

New tools based on interactive webs allows us to create a more intersting environment for our students, so that they get more motivated to learn.

The first day  is full of expectations about what to know, for this reason, our instructor set the general guidelines, including the use of the labs. Additionally she explain the grading system, which is really stimulating for us, due to RUBRICS.


When we look for information on internet, it's relevant to know that the information offered is sure, so we have to regard some parameters to evaluate them, in this day I got the information to do it. This link was provided for this http://olinuris.library.cornell.edu/ref/research/webcrit.html

Creating an account in www.delicious.com was very nice because it permits to organize all our favorites web sites; moreover it's possible to share stacks with friends, follow other people.  Delicious results useful, since it facilitates search. I created my account if someone wants to share my stacks can access by clicking this link http://www.delicious.com/dochogal.

Furthermore, I created a blog by using my gmail account to share experiences of this course, the blog gives the opportunity to follow other people.  If you have some comments, please send me your posts.




This is all for today.
