Well, this week was really amazing because we learn how to make a diigo account. This diigo account is very useful to bookmark save and store a lot of web sites pages that we need and also like .we can look at them anywhere in the world it doesn’t matter in which place of the world you are , if that place has internet you are done. I learn how to bookmark, and also how to discuss in a group forum, we learn about I.C.T that is a web site from Unesco which is worth in Education technology that is trying to advise and encourage teachers to use more technology for the coming years well have to teach students. Here is a link of how and why is good to have a Diigo account.

 Teachers must know how to use technology because this world is ruled by technology nowadays. If we can manage technology we will face teaching problems in the future and digo well be a useful tool for teaching in a class that well be provided with the tool most powerful of the last 15 years that is internet.

WEEK THREE

It’s been a really amazing experience up to know about the themes we have already learned in Multimedia classes. This week we have learned something really good and useful and the main point is. Do we really know what plagiarism is? The answer is really simple... (Maybe) and this is because we didn’t have before a previous knowledge about this and is something really common in students from most levels in Education.

These websites are the more reliable for finding information about Plagiarism. So first I want to begin that plagiarism is the action of stealing works and ideas from somebody else. It’s really important to keep in our minds that committing a crime is something really serious that can make you have a lot of problems in your future. There are many ways on how to catch the theft of information so one website that I found really good was this one.

On this page you just have to paste the work your student did and Walla you can find if he or she copied the work.

Finally I might say that I learn how to not do plagiarism and also to make power presentations..Im going to poste a video about plagarism where youll see how to avoid it

WEEK TWO

In this second week we learn have to comment in a discussion forum, we also learn how to follow people on the virtual class; we also learn how to use the aula virtual and the propose of using it.

I also learn how to comment in other blogs and how to comment in the forums. We learn on how to take the tests we are going to get for the coming classes and what not to do when we are taking them. Finally about on how to evaluate web sites I must say that was really practical, now I really take into consideration before taking any information what I need from any web.

I hope that all the knowledge that I have obtained during this second week is going to be really productive, in class we can give our students some feedback on how to comment in a forum, the information of what we want to say must be very clear, with that we will built solid knowledge to our students.

WEEK ONE 09/03/12

On this first week of Internet and multimedia subject with Dr. Wilma Suarez we have learn some staff that is going to help us to develop our skills and knowledge about technology.

First of all Im going to talk about of how to have access On this first week of Internet and multimedia with Dr. Wilma Suarez, we have learn some staff that is going to help us to develop our skills and knowledge about teaching our students with help of technology.

First of all I’m going to talk about of how to have access to the Aula Virtual.

Aula Virtual is a web page made for this Subject we can find it on this link that belongs to the “UTA” University http://educacionvirtual.uta.edu.ec/elearning/

 we have to choose the career we are into 

and also the level fifth that we are into

 Then we have to choose the name of our teacher and something like this will appear:

 After we fill de login and the password gaps, we are ready then to use the Aula virtual.

All this I learn by repeting the process many times until I got it.Im really happy to know that I learn something new.

In the future if is possible I’ll make my students to try by themselves to see if they can manage to do something similar on the first day of work, it also will help me to remember that nice things could be learn with enthusiasm and a lot of commitment.

we also learn how to evaluate websites and also the procedure that we have to take into account to don’t fall in any scam or fake information that we can find in any other web pages that are not trusted.

This link will take us to the different points we must know about Web Pages.

We also learn how to see the differences between web pages with this format that was given by our teacher.

With this we learnt to evaluate web pages and also we are going to reinforce our constructivism, because our teacher must be our guide only, we as students have to learn by investigating and demonstrating that we can do everything on our own obviously with the accessory from our teacher. I learnt this by investigating; reading and analyzing are the best way to learn something.

In conclusion by applying the Constructivism theory, I’ll be a guide for my students, because I know that investigating s the best way to learn, every single human being are able to learn from trying new things and also to learn by their mistakes and experiences. Its confirmed that we can learn everything is we got the right person to tell us what we have to do.
