FINAL PAPER.
1- In a chart, describe the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in your
professional development taking into account Blended Learning, Education 2.0,
Web 2.0 and IT.

Advantages Disadvantages
Education. 2.0 Create a large and strong
network.
More interaction leads to higher
exchange of knowledge.

The education has to update in
order to the student can learn
better than before.

We can use in for long distance
students because they do not
have the time or money enough
to assistant to a course.

Nowadays we can see this kind
of technologies in any school,
universities also and
workplaces.
People are highly dependent on
internet to network.

High number of frauds and
hackers.

Some students just cut and paste
the information.


The students lose the motivation,
because dont follow the
instructions and they dont enjoy
the learning.
Web2.0 With this kind of technology
you can share all the
information with your friends
and classmates when the teacher
left them an assignment.

We can make a classes online,
forums, video conferences, etc.

We can create different profiles
in many web accounts for
example: GMAIL ACCOUNT,
BLOGER, LINKIN, SKYPE and
so on.


Requires technological device
and Internet connection:

The information cannot always
be trusted or verified.


If you dont save the information
is possible that if the internet or
website is going down.
Blended
learning
You can use all the internet
material that you can need it
you can get all kind of
information from reliable pages.
Not all schools in our country
have the possibility to have a
computers and internet
connection.

If you have the tools and you
can make a good use of the
internet you can reduce the cost,
time when you are finding the
information.

You as a teacher can make a
different activities using the
technology.

The activities could be videos,
images and sounds. This will to
the students to improve all their
knowledge.

The technology shows us how
the tech can make a better
education in our country.

Most of the students prefer paper
materials because they dont
know how to use a computer or
they dont have previous
knowledge requires.

For some immigrants natives this
difficult because have to adapt in
a new digital word where if you
dont have the ability or capacity
to learn the necessary for to be
an digital native always be an
immigrant native (ignorant).
Instruction
technologies
It is easy to implement in our
classroom because we can
introduce our lesson plans,
activities, rubric of evaluation,
etc.

These instructional technologies
can improve our learning, our
knowledge.

We can determine what kind of
learning style the students have

You have access to all kind of
information for example: some
website which you can use as a
tool for your own learning, for
designing your classes as a
teacher or for your students.
Nowadays many teachers dont
use the instructional technologies
because they dont have the
knowledge.

The schools dont have
computers and the internet
access.

For some teachers the
technologies are a waste time
because they think that the
student use the internet for
Facebook, see pornography, etc.
but nowadays with the previous
knowledge we can help to
student show them how
Facebook can help them when
they have assignments, they can a
group a forum where they can
share their opinions, interrogates.




2. Explain how you are going to design a lesson plan online by using Web
Quest and what are the real propose using this kind of technology in your
professional development.
Well when a create my lesson plan using WebQuest I had to take into account
some details for example, I have to know what is the level or grade of my
students if a have students of third grade the topic could be The Body. I will
give them a little introduction: in this topic the student are going to learn new
vocabulary that relates to the human body, will be able to know the name of
each of the parts of the body, through videos, games and activities at the end of
the topic they will be able to name every part of your body and that of their
colleagues. Also they make an activity where 2 students come to the front of the
classroom one pointed a body part and the other should say the name.
After the students are understood very well the topic, we will make a task
where students must do:
Look at the picture and try to put the correct name to each body part;
using the words that are inside the box.
Look at the video and try to memorize all the parts of the body, repeat
after the speaker practice your pronunciation.
Make a list of body parts that you can hear in the video.

Also the students must do another activity where they put in practice all
their skills.
Activity 1
After listening and watching the video the students will make a short
description of your body pointing with his fingers each body part.

Activity 2

Students will make a list of all the body parts that are not mentioned in
the video.

at the end of the class will do a small evaluation in which will put to test the
knowledge that students obtained in this topic the evaluation will consist in an
oral description also I will include a rubric which all the aspect that I will
evaluate
This evaluation is going to be an oral presentation in which you have to
describe your body.

The students will have to make a description about your body using different
vocabulary they learned in class.


In the following Rubric you can see which aspects are going to be evaluated in
your oral presentation.

The purpose of using this kind of technology called WebQuest is to make the
work of teachers easier or better way than the traditional one where teachers
are based on books brochures etc. therefore it is necessary for us future teachers
we must update daily in the area of technology for to use all these tools that
make being a teacher is a challenge which we must overcome day by day.



3. Explain how you are going to deal if you want to use technology in a
school or place of work but there is not Tech in the classroom. What are
you going to do? How are you going to solve the problem? Provide
resources that you will use and the procedures
If I want to use the technology in my classroom well I have to investigate what
kind of resources have in the classroom and what kind of students I have what
level they have according to that I going to use the necessary tool in this case
internet, computer, videos, sounds, etc. but if I my school or workplace dont
have this possibilities or necessary tools
I have to think of other ways I can make my classes so that students do not lose
interest in the class, for example if the class is how to create a page on the
Internet or how to make good use of social networks. we have to find a way to
teach these topics although no internet found, the first step would be to show
them a PowerPoint presentation which you will explain the steps to follow
when creating a page also showing them a video related to these issues and
Finally if we do not have these resources can make use of smart phones and
that today most students possess one.
4. Choose digital resources you will include and describe how those digital
resources you are going to improve you PLE and PLN.
