Hello! We are The Little Ants, the task of this week
is about what we have acquired through the activities which we have done during
the course.
First, we have to take into account the social and
economic context, for example: that the main problem in the public school is
the money, the economic contexts, the cultural context (respect other cultures,
religions, etc) and the age (mental and chronological). At first the subject
seems a bit difficult because we had to do a lot of activities and in different
ways which we had never done, but instead of give up we saw it like a challenge
which we had to pass.
Secondly, we have to set our objective, what we want
to reach, when and how.
The main problem is that the teachers forget the
objectives of teaching and that the main thing is the students.
Then, we choose the tools what we are going to use, we
have to take into account the economic contexts of the school and the different
competencies. A competence is a learning that we can apply to resolve problems
that happen in live. It is necessary the knowledge related to each subject to
develop the education.
It is important to mention that TPACK is the base of
the modern education; to reach an effective teaching is important to know the
knowledge of technologies, pedagogy and content. Technology gives students a
lot of resource.
Teachers do a bad use of textbooks they can survive without
them. Textbook limits students’ knowledge and creativity. They show just one
reality they represent the power of editorials and political ideas and children
grow up influeciated by them.
Mercedes Ruiz also shows us that are other ways of
learning such us creativity, innovation and the important of language.
Educators must be open-minded a teacher is a story teller.
Through this methodology we have developed some
competencies: personal, social and ethical competencies.
The personal competence is all this information is important
to us as future teachers; we also should be teachers in a TPACK framework.
In social competence we have learnt working in groups
respecting other ideas, dialoguing, dealing problems…
The ethical competence consists of respecting other
cultures, don´t influenced children with our own thoughts.
As students of primary school, we value all these
things, because these things will be very useful in our life. We have realized
that in our future as teachers want to be teachers in a TPACK framework,
innovating and using more resources than textbooks because we have the control
of our classes and we can teach through the resources that we want. To do this
is important to feel that we can achieve all the things that we want.
In this task, we have gone deep in the contents of
each task, so that, we have looked for the background and the competences we
have acquired.
We have to say, that in the presentation of the
videos, we saw the work of each group and then we put the scores being
critical.
Here, you can see our work of this week:
Definitely what we have learnt is that “TEACHERS CAN
CHANGE THE WORLD”.
