What we learned this unit...



We learned about the Unit Two methods of teaching that we can use as students and as teachers in the future. It is a challenge to use technology as a method of teaching and any method is always used to be difficult. We were able to identify the different knowledge tools that can be used within the pedagogical field. Bringing all this information into practice is even more useful for us because it will help throughout the major. All these methods are defined as the processes by which instruction occurs: the conferences, class discussion, small group discussion, simulation, experience, or individual project. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages for the teacher, but we learned this by practicing or application of methods in classes even people invited to the classroom were very useful so we would like students of the major can continue giving their opinion about the issues we saw, maybe that is an easier way to capture student attention.

INTRODUCTION



Hello! We are a team of an Educational Technology course. Through these months we are going to learn together about technology and of course, how to apply it in an educational way. We are preparing ourselves to be English teachers in every specific level and we consider technology an important tool to recreate and innovate activities in order to make them more attractive for the audience.

As we know, today and the future is full of technology; everyday the technology is renovating itself, so why don't we renovate ourselves day by day too?

It is nice to welcome you and we hope you enjoy every material we upload.

During the first unit we have learned what technology of education is, the correct use of the technology and that there are many pages to do presentations besides the traditional power point. From the readings I learned how society and teaching have been changed during the years, since society 1.0 to society 3.0 and the challenges and aims in each one. Furthermore, the 5 perspectives on teaching that we should combine in order of have a successful teaching. By doing the homework like the essay we had lo research and we could notice the landscape of Mexico using technology and the importance of the technology in the teaching-learning process.
What we like the most was the reading of Movarek “Aprendizaje Invisible, Desde la sociedad 1.0 a la sociedad 3.0” it was very interesting and enriching. The most difficult thing to achieve was the essay, it was a challenge and the requirements like the APA was complicate.
