My experience designing e-learning lesson plan

It has been a new experience for me  as a future teacher because designing this kind of lesson, in which I had to  offer to my students to enter to edmoodle and download the information that I have posted. It was not easy to design it quickly, it took us a lot of time to plan each activity correctly but at the end everything was ok because some classmates gave us ideas to improve our e-learning lesson plan and how to posted the information on the website.  It´s kind of difficult to work  with a lesson plan like this one because it requires to know about some process to follow. Also the students needs to be addressed correctly because no all of them are going to understand quickly. Therefore, working with this lesson implies a lot of work for teachers to plan all the activities to covert.

Personally, I think that is not an easy work to develop this e-leaerning lesson because students always have questions about the use of it. Another problem that I can imagine is that no all the students may have internet connection. So, it means that after program the date, many students might talk to me as a teacher and complain about the problems on taking this class on-line. 

making a instructional video

    It has been a beautiful experience working on creating this instructional video because it required some skills to guide my audience. Therefore, I feel happy because I worked with my classmates with the same purpose to present a video with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Everybody cooperated with a different technique of drawing a head using a figure. I know that  drawing is important for teachers  that is why as a team work, we  decided to make a instructional video about drawing through the use of figures. So,  It gave me the chance to apply some skills on drawing.

As a future English teacher, I know that I need to expand myself in this kind of activities, in which I must develop skills to guide my students because they will see my  person as someone who knows everything. So, I must be prepared to develop material and techniques to catch the attention of my students because they need the instructions clearly. This makes me reflect that I need to work on the skills to guide students correctly.

Personal experience about making a listening

It has been a nice experience working on this listening project because I have recorded  my own voice and,  I have heard my pronunciation. It was pretty cool such experience on developing this listening activity. However, it was not easy to prepare the  PDP framework, in which me and my classmate Daniel had to plan every activity correctly, puting the time and the process to develop on it. But at the end everything was good because we made it the best we could do.

 I have to admit that   was not easy to record  the  different audios perfectly because there were many distractors around us that did not allow us to get a good quality of  them. It required a lot work to get the best quality. Making this activity helped me to increase my pronunciation of certain words that were new for me. On the other hand,  designing this framework has taught me to order correctly step by step a listening comprehension.

Although I am not a profesional at drawing  but I like to creat my own characters; on the other hand, I always had been captived by watching videos about grammar topics on Pawtoon.  Now, that I had the opportunity to start creating my own videos on Pawtoon because it is a beautiful and attractive website to present topics in a dynamic way that will catch the attention of the students.

Technology and its importance in education

    We all know that education it is something that has been so important in our society because we need it in our personal growth. As we are applying for a good job we are required by the companies what we are able to do or what do we have studied. Those questions usually discourage some people because they did have the opportunity to study something.  Nowadays, the modern education is changing because the technology is being innovated and applied in it. So, it means that teachers, parents and all the society must be connected with it .

     The use of technology has been incorported in the fiel of education to facilitate the learning and the use of information. The importance of the technology and its use in education has developed many programs that are useful to process and classify the information. However, people have to learn how to use technology correctly because no all the information that is posted on the web is true.  All the modern technologies (toys, internet, smartphones, laptop, books, projector, pens etc) used in education are good but the new generations are losing some skills like: reading, writing and analyzing because they are become accustomed just to go to the cyber and pay for doing homework.

    We have to be taught on the correct ways of using  technology because it is a wonderful tool that help us to save time in order to get information quickly. From my point of view technology is something that it is necessary to learn how use it because it supplies many of our needs.
