Archive for the ‘Learning Theory and Pedagogical Use of Technology (THEORY)’ Category

In the first question; I think in this part of the course was very important the collaborative learning and working. Because the main task was to develop a chapter to one Handbook via Wiki, Prezi and Skype. In this process is very important to use in correct form the technology and to carry on a correct process of collaborative working to finish with success this activity. The things more important that I learned were the use the technologies for that proposal and collaborative working, also I learned too much about the topic of our task, which was “the divergence between theory knowledge and practice in her course ‘Ethical issues in education”.

In the second question; for me sometimes is complicated to work in team and is more complicated that because this activity was on line with other persons in other countries and different background. But for me this project was very complete in all senses.
Prezi, for me is good software to develop and design good presentations on line. This wiki sometimes was a little complicated to design, but is a good tool to work in group.

In the third question; for me is very important in this part the collaboration, because the project is basically about collaborative working to solve and develop the project in the best way.

In the fourth question; the advantages that as team had were definitively the technology, a good team and a good Tutor. The challenges were the time and the different activities that we had in our different programs, for example in meetings, sometimes was complicated to meet us.

In the first question; the topics that have been most important and interesting for me in this course are: Collaborative learning, self-regulated learning and understanding how teachers learn at work. With these activities I learned and improved better my own Self-regulated learning and deepen how work in collaborative learning with other people? also understanding in a good way the relationship between Self-regulated Learning and Collaborative Learning to obtain in the present and the future my objectives and goals in the learning and my own knowledge.
For me is very important understanding; How teachers learn at work? Is very important this point because the teachers are the most important people in shaping and teaching education for students. Since with this the students will have a better future both in their life and in their professional development. The teachers must have vision, motivation, understanding, practice, reflection, community to achieve these objectives in their students. Sadly many times the teachers don’t have these points and educational systems don’t work adequately.

In the second question; the implementation was good and complete. The articles and lectures were interesting and clearly reflect the ideas and knowledge of the topics covered completely in this subject. But sometimes in the articles some terms were hard to understand, but it serves like new experience and knowledge for me. With the study circles and the exams, we learned and understood in a good way the collaborative learning and self-regulated learning. Also I enjoyed the study circles because is good experience for me, and the teachers explained and deepen the topics adequately.

In the third question; I have good expectations and motivation about this part, because is very interesting and important collaborating with other researchers, teachers, students and universities (Collaborative learning) to obtain and improve my expertise, new knowledge and improving my own knowledge in my studies and other areas in general. Obviously, I think this task will be complicated but we will have to find adequately the best forms and best options to obtain good results.
