Quiz 2

Digital Literacy and mobile learning

  In my opinion all the topics was interesting but the Digital Literacy and mobile learnig, because the use technology now a days is move fast in this constantly world of change also when we use some technological toils such as tablet or mobil in the same time is growing our knowledge and the interest in many literacy resources that can helping in the lessons plans we made as  english teachers.

  I really enjoy both topics, but main one is really call my attention was the use of mobile in the learning process, because maybe that type of technology is close to every person. People is usually depending more using their mobile like a laptop or Pc. And how we can increase the interest in Digital literacy for many uses.

  Well my first reaction with this topic was, I remenber how many times teachers call the attention to the students because it is prohibited the use of cell phones or mobile tecnology in class room and how many students from this century see normal live together with this tecnology and take advantage of that.

   Other thing to take in count is about I believed that is a tool very interesting and modern because like the reading said we use the mobile for every single thing like to put the alarm to wake uo in the morning, put the calculator or make a picture or selfie through the mobile and upload in the social networks.

  Is great to know how students can develop their knowledge and language skills in english throught the technology in class, for example develop a proyect in the englis lessons in wich the students need to download information, pictures or videos to undesrtand better the activity.

   Many people are familiarized with the use of technology for many thinks including the interaction with more people, for that reazon is bacause the mobile can be apply in the english lessons because the use is not only for search information of a topic at the same time we can use like a communication toil bettween the teacher a students and also can consider like a modern way to increase our knowledge.

Hello   everybody!

Here there  is my comment about the explanation on digital tools by Oleana Bilozerova. 

Even though she created a video that was quite long and little catchy, in my opinion, I truly believe it was a great idea to share all the websites, apps and other technological tools that she has used and that might be helpful for other teachers like us. We all know that the Internet is a whole world with a lot of sources and plenty of material about any topic we want to find. For this reason, it can become difficult to find the best websites and tools to our students needs. What I liked the most about her presentation is that she made sure to include tools to enhance all learners' skills and she showed a great variety of resources. Out of those resources she mentioned, there are some that I particularly find them quite useful for my class; these are the professional use we can give to Twitter to make students interact and chat using relia, the vialogues for encouraging learners to speak and upload their performance, the quizzes generators that teachers can create and students can take by their own too and the websites to improve pronunciation, which I think is one of the hardest aspects to teach students. Then, I think all of them can be of great help for both teachers and learners. Finally, I just would like to paraphrase the meaning this speaker gave to the word technology because I strongly agree with it. She said technology meant the advancement, methods and tool we, as teachers, use to solve problems or achieve a goal, so she emphasized the fact that any kind of tool we use should always depend on what we want to accomplish with our students. Therefore, we should always take this into account to always try to enhance students' learning.
