WEEK 9
Teaching Styles and Technology Connections
As before it was a fruitful week . I reinforced my knowledge  about learning styles and  theories which refreshed my memory  in how to treat and teach my students respecting their individuality and  style of learning. I enjoyed watching the videos posted in this web  http://www.edutopia.org   because they gave me a clear idea on how to  take advantage of the students knowledge and interest in order to develop  an interactive, real and virtual lesson.  I also l think it is  important  how parents support and help the students in the learning process.
I plan to continue to check anew the material Donna sent us and pick out the information that I consider most important. I am also going to apply the technology by creating my own material, in this way I will be practicing both with myself and students.
This week I completed my project with the help of Daouda and Ion who supported me and gave me many suggestions on how to improve my project.
Alex.

  1. Hi Alex,

    I do agree with you. We're not alone in this whole process of teaching our students. Parents and the whole community are essential parts too. We do not live in glass bubbles, isolated from the rest of the world. Learning is a lifelong process and it happens in every interaction we have with one another.

  2. Dear Alex,
    You are absolutely right. Everything we learn benefits our students, so it is good to start trying new things to help them learn.

  3. Dear Alex. I am very happy that my feedback has helped you complete your project, and I hope you’ll be able to implement all the ideas learned. Among these ideas, we have studied Multiple Intelligence this week, and I agree that it will be helpful in teaching according to “learners’ individuality.
    I did not know http://www.edutopia.org, but thanks to you, I’ve discovered it, and I will bookmark it.
    I wish you an excellent weekend.

  4. Dear Alex! It was great to contact with pairs and discuss our plans and projects. Really formative assessment by feedback from peers helps us to accomplish our goal and submit the Final project for summative assessment. It's wonderful that we could "refresh" our memory and think about the individual approaches to our students/teachers. Have a great weekend! Natalia
