Learner Autonomy and One Computer Classroom
Another productive week has come to an end. During these days, I read articles about Autonomous Learners and One Computer Classroom. These articles were very informative because they both have interesting information that showed clear strategies to be followed by the students and teacher. It also showed how the students/teacher share their responsibilities during the teaching/learning process.
I think Autonomy is important for the students. For a student to be autonomous they must interact with other students that are constructing their own knowledge base of experiences.
In regards to the article One Computer classroom - I learned how to create and apply interesting and interactive PPT lessons. Where I teach we do not have access to computers or access to internet so we have to use a laptop and projector in the audiovisual room. What I plan to do is use this room and use prepaid internet to project the PPT that I like.

Using these Webs are a good way to start with PP Lessons as I consider them to be both interactive and creative.
I will also show them a video about food groups found in the following Web site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zt-KYP_4vg.

Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteIt's been another interesting week, hasn't it? ;-)
Helping our students to become more and more autonomous is one of the best things we can do for them, don't you agree?

Dear Alex! Thank you for sharing with the sites! I love templates and they are free. It's not easy to find smth. like that! Essay writing, I will try it too!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was interesting week (as usual) with great resources and possibility to us to learn from reading and each other. We discussed the issues that motivate students to be an autonomous and we have to work hard in order to realize our plans in real life! Thank you for help in Interactive PPT! The best, Natalia
Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, as the past six weeks, this one has also been very interesting. The topics we discuss are of paramount importance for all of us and for all our students who will be directly benefited from everything we are learning.

Dear Alex!
ReplyDeleteI do share your point of view about the “productive nature of this week’s topics. This week again, our attention was drawn on the Learner as the central element of the Learning/Teaching process. You are so right when you mention the necessity for students to interact with other students. Students learn so much from each other. This reminds me one of our webmates making the difference between individuality and autonomy.
Today I have learned that autonomy goes along with student-collaboration, in addition to Teacher-assistance.
Thanks and see you next week
