Log. Critical Thinking and Technology

I think that all the students need to have this characteristic "critical thinking". Because as the article mentioned the students have an  intrinsict way to be curiosity, but the teachers and we as a future teachers, we have to push students to open their minds. Also, teachers have to make big questions or questions that are interesting because in that way the students want to think and share the things. 

Another way or method to make students think more is teaching abstract things. When a teacher teachs a subject is important that he cover all the information because if the teacher teachs history or biology, the students want to know more and share that they have in their mind. The students can create the abiliti to analyze the different situations and, they can find the solutions or the evidence about they think, but i think that the teachers have more opportunities to teach better if they use the technology and the students can understand better. 

If we use or apply the technology in the class, the students can be address in the best way by the teacher. we can use the computers in class to specific purpose; for example, to see the information that teacher only tell them; also, they have to listen the things from different people through videos. In addition, the teacher can make more interesting the class if he present the things in a power point presentation, showing pictures, and he can use it with any subject. The technology is so important in the classroom, but we only have to think what we want to present to students, and make different and new materials. I liked that article because show us that the technology is important in any school.

Online Collaborative Writing Using Wikis. All the things that I was reading about the topic were interesting. First, because the students have the opportunity to work in wikis. Wikis are a tools that we can edit, create and share information through it. Also, I think that the students can find many things in that wikis to do the homework, and the article present an example of it. Teachers and studetns can participe. In addition, one of the advantages to work in groups in the classroom is the studetns can share their ideas, opinions, and expiences. The students can create a project, choose a topic, and they can start to work in it. The students have the chance to participe sharing the information they found, they have the possibility to communicate after class, and in that way they build the project day per day. Besides, I think that the teacher have an important role in these cases. Teachers have to do the correct intructions to students develop the project in good way; ...

Log. Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary.

Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Online Dictionaries for Learners The article mentioned some ideas that sound interesting, but I think and I agree that reading comprehension and vocabulary have relationship; for example, a students can read a book and they can uderstand it, but some words can be weird or new for them. For that reason, I think that students acquire vocabulary through the readers. In addition, including the technology students find some books online in which they can discover new vocabulary to learn.  Moreover, I liked the first teaching principles because as a future teachers showed us that we can fin many tools online to teach vocabulary and reading too; for that reason, the article showed the computerized reading and the non-computerized reading.  On the other hand, the article about Online dictionaries talked about two different dicitionaries that are general-use and English-Learner dictionary. Most of the time I think that we as a student...

      COMPUTERS AND LANGUAGE LEARNING. Mark Warchauer and Deborah Healy   mentioned that many years ago the computers were a weird object in education. Some teachers nowadays use a computer because is an important instrument in all the classroom. It is interested because the article is divides in four parts.  On the other hand, the history showed some approaches in which the technology was grown, but in different ways; for example, I think that the communicative CALL is better because is a cognitive theory, and I consider that behaviorist give less opportunities than communicative CALL because the students are involve and they can work with the computers. Besides, the communicative CALL allows students to learn through a class in which the content-based, project based, and task-based; Also, teachers can develop a class with that kind of method. Other thing that I consider help teachers is that some software provided programs in which we ha...
