WEEK 5

            This week some of my classmates explained about UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers. “This is an emerging broad consensus worldwide about the benefits that can be brought to school education through the appropriate use of evolving information and communication technologies. The range of possible benefits covers practically all areas of activity in which knowledge and communication play a critical role: from improved teaching and learning processes to better student outcomes, from increased student engagement to seamless communication with parents, and from school networking and twinning to more efficient management and monitoring within the school. All in all, this is not surprising since the windows of opportunity that ICT offers for the development of knowledge economies and societies are open also for education”. http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/themes/icts/teacher-education/

           

              On the other hand, we received an invitation in our mails from our teacher about a new program named DROPBOX. This page offers the opportunity to keep important documents that you do not want to lose. To access to this page, you must register to be member of this site. Also, we participated in other web page named BBC British Council. This place has a lot of activities for teachers and students to develop in classes. Moreover, we visited another site named www.esl-lab.com. In this page, you can find activities related with listening. It offers a variety of audio exercises to people from different levels for example, elementary, middle, and high.  Additionally, the spot has each conversation or dialog in a written way to practice reading and speaking, or simply to follow the audio. I think these web pages that I knew and visited will be useful when I will practice in my pre-professional classes. Finally, the ICT will be an appropriate guide to use the information and communication technologies, too.
