week 2 : THE INTEGRATION OF ICT FOR TEACHING

Based on the article "Effectiveness of the Integration of ICT Tools and Activities to Foster Awareness as the First Stage to Reach Learning Autonomy" By Andrea Ariza and Mario Suárez Sánchez.

According to the article, the use of the ICT in the classroom tries to demonstrate the autonomous learning that students can develop and, in turn, verify if they are capable of autonomous learning, which means that students can establish their own learning objectives and analyze their own progress in class.

It is important to mention that the purpose of this strategy is not to leave the teacher aside, but to teach the student to seek through their means the desire to learn by their self.
