WEEK 9 – REFLEXION

LEARNING STYLES AND FINAL PROJECT

Hello everyone!!

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work". Thomas Edison.
"Everybody should have the opportunity to do and be everything they can be". Dr Phil
I wanted to start with these quotes because I need to emphasize that opportunities are close to us but we have to work hard to reach them. Technology gives us opportunities to help our students understand information better by an active and participative process. It is not only teacher's work but also student's work. To promote students work hardly we have to give opportunities to increase their skills and motivation. The great benefit of technology is the large range of tools to help our students according to their necessities and abilities to learn.
I think that the second quote I mention gives us a clear idea that our students will develop their skills successfully depending on the kind of opportunities we present according to their way of taking information. Learning styles is what we have to learn about it is an individual goal to teaching. I think that active learning depends on the techniques that truly engage students in their effective learning process. I was really pleased this week to read more about different intelligences to enhance students' skills and the different activities and strategies to apply with them. I learned a lot from my partners comments, ideas and websites so that I already used some of their great suggestions.

I want to express my happiness about my project's results. I expanded my knowledge about using technology and I am motivated to keep working with it. Even though I had some problems with internet access and time, it was really fruitful to try something different and interesting for me and my students.

    I definitely share the same point of view regarding the fact that students need to be engaged in the process of learning, they need and have to be active learners and not just recipients who get information passively without playing a role in class. I truly believe that the role of the teacher is to put the students on the right path and show them how to be active learners and this is of course by incorporating technological tools and techniques into learning and teaching process.
