Content healing with Scoopit!

By : Unknown
We learned to heal content and information through the resource Scoopit! It is an easy and free resource where you can post different contents from different pages, authors, videos, thesis or reports. You as free member can upload a certain number of scoopts but it's enough space for you to form a Scoopit! with good content.

***Unit II: likes, challenges and improvements.*** n_n

By : Unknown
What we liked the most in unit 2 was the instructional methods that are different teaching styles which we as teachers can use depending on the way of learning of our students; therefore, it is important for us to know how to apply every method as we did in class. On the other hand, making the video was something tricky for us because we used GoAnimate for the first time and although it is very easy to use it took us time to familiarize ourselves with the page. Also, Instructional Media was a very important topic in this unit because media can facilitate learning and increase understanding of our material and it helps us in the present as students but also as future teachers. To improve this unit we believe that the teacher should use more demonstrations as an instructional strategy for each topic but we are pleased of what we learned in this unit because we achieved goals we never thought we could achieve.

As a team we agreed that some disadvantages of using this method are found mainly in the part of pedagogy. Some teachers do not comprehend that pedagory is the only way to attain proficient teaching. Teachers with passion are concerned about pedagogy because it is de key of education and learning. If someone who pretends to become a teacher does not take into account this part of the methos, he or she-it will for sure- cannot get the reasults in a 100%. Pedagogy, technology and knowledge work together to have the expected results. Another disadvantage of this methos is that it is mainly focused on technology and as we live in a 2.0 society not all teachers or schools have the accurate technology that permits the development of this TPACK method.



Explanation about what we learned during the first unit, what we liked the most and what the most difficult things to achieve were

We have to mention that we did enjoy what we learned from this course since the very beginning of it. First, the concept of educational technology was presented by our professor. Then, we learnt about the digital competences any student is expected to possess. Besides, we got to know about a new concept that in a near future will change the way educators teach: invisible learning. We appreciated the explanation of our classmates over Moravec’s and Cobo’s perspectives for the future of education. Those writers gave us a round-up of how global educational system has evolved, as well as their classification of society considering technology as the foremost aspect. Furthermore, when we solved the survey on Five Perspectives on Teaching, we could notice that everyone has a dominant teaching perspective. Such perspectives on teaching made us reflect on how the teacher’s role changes depending upon the educational method he employs. Moreover, we learnt that there is not an accurate or right teaching perspective due to the fact that every educator has his own teaching style. What is important to be aware of is that, believe it or not, the form a professor teaches is theory-driven. Finally, we were taught how knowledge is creating from diverse educational theories, e.g. how knowledge is created from the constructivist or behavioral approach. On the one hand, we liked the most the activities done in groups such as the creation of a glogster and the creation of a blog. We are fond of learning how to use educational technology since we believe we can take advantage of this marvelous tool. On the other hand some difficulties we had to progress were that we only knew how to manage the basic features of the classical programs; we can even say we were clueless about how to use advanced characteristics of technology. However, considering all the work we have carried out, we will surely enhance our technological abilities since we really long to become English teachers who encourage students to make, at least, a small but notable change within the future society.
