WEEK 8

TEACHER RESOURCES ONLINE

Dear all,

 

This has been other amazed week because we have made a lot of things and have learned new things, too. First of all, I ended my draft project and sent it. Then, I chose to my partner Janeth to be my peer. We have to interchange our project plans and have to make suggestions about them according our knowledge and experience. After that I read about ANVILL. This was the first time I have read and learn something about it. I know that it is National Virtual Language Lab, and as its name suggest it is a modern web based replacement for the audio and video consoles of old. To use ANVILL we need three tools, a microphone and / or a webcam, a modern browser and ADOBE.

ANVILL has been a new world full of helpful tools, the most that caught my attention was TCAST because you can record short audios or share videos in your lessons,. I really would like to use it.

Another important thing was that I created my nicenet,  some  flash cards and bingo. It could be solved as a warm up or as a part of the procedure of the class. This is important because classes are more interactive and students could create similar ones in no more than ten or twelve minutes. Then , I made some comments about my partner’s job. 

I am really happy to have access to this kind of opportunities that technology provides since it helps us change the concept of teaching into a modern and active one. I did not know that we have the possibility to create our own online exercises with the feature that we can adapt and apply them according to our students' necessities and topics. Great week, isn´t it?

Best, 

Lucy
