This entry
supposes the last activity of the course “INNOVATIVE TEACHING PRACTICES
SUPPORTED BY THE FOCUSED USE OF ICT TOOLS IN THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOM”. Before
explaining it, I would like to say how much I have learnt with the different
activities that we have carried out and how interesting and useful this course
is. I recommend it totally.
Now, moving
to the last task, I have carried out one of my course mate’s activity in one of
my primary groups. Maybe it is not exactly what I was asked for, but everything is explained below. It has been Teacher Carmen’s EdPuzzle activity. You can find
it on the following link:
The reasons to do this activity are varied.
The first one is that I find very interesting to use one of my colleagues’ work
in my lessons. It makes sense of the Moodle platform as a meeting point among
teachers, as a place to share resources and ideas. Secondly, it is a way to
check if although we are teachers in different schools, the resources can be
usable in both of them. Other point to choose this activity is the quality of
the video: it is very appealing for children, the presentation of the content
is appropriated, it is motivating and the questions created by Teacher Carmen
are suitable. Besides all these reasons, my students already know Steve and
Maggie, and they love them.
Regarding the results of the implementation
of this activity in my lessons, it has been a total success. The students have
loved the video, finding the questions interesting and at the same time
challenging.
Finally, I have gone further than that. Not
only we have carried out the activity, but also I have explained them why. I
have told them that it was part of a course because although I am a teacher, I
am always learning. They know too that it was created by another teacher in the
same course and I have it because we share a lot of things, and the more we
share, the better we work. Even I have shown them the blogs to demonstrate that
it was something real, not just an idea about giving my things to other people
because a teacher says that. Their faces were thoughtful; I hope they reflect
on this idea because it is probably one of the best things I can teach them.
