WEEK 14: Providing Feedback

Based in the reading " How To Use Technology To Provide Feedback"

The article talk about a good way to give feedback to the students using the technology, the author of the article mention that this way is really helpful and effective because using the computer and video camara oy can record yourself at the time that you are checking a students homework and show to the students the mistakes and the students can observe their mistakes at the same time that you are giving the feedback, also teacher can provide screen captures. 

Another important advantage that this tool offer is that with the help of the technology and the internet, teacher can make a video explaining an important topic or something interesting that will help students in their learning process and share in youtube, there many people will watch the video and people for other countries will can see it too, moreover, this tool help teachers online, as i mention before by the internet teacher will provide feedback to their online students ,also,the student can both see the teacher  correcting their work and listen to what the teacher is saying. The feedback is media rich, which contrasts with most traditional feedback which is text based only. 

In the article the author mention a specific website call SNAGIT and says that this application has many tools for example recording voice in a MP4 format at the same time that you are making a powerpoint presentation or checking a homerwork, but also mention that the use of this application is free just for two weeks and then you have to pay for the service of this app.  
In my opinion this is an inportant and helpful tool for teachers and also for students, because is a new way and easier for students understand wath the teacher want to explain.

    Hi Isabel, I agree with you. I think that screen recorder facilitates student's feedback because teachers can explain in a detailed way the student's mistakes and they spend less time than when they write them. Also, for people that want to know something new for them because they can see how it works or exactly what they have to do and that is more easy than just read an article about that.

    Hello Isabel! I agree with you when you say that using screen capture can help not only our students, but also other people from other countries. For example, we have learned how to use many programs and websites from watching videos in youtube where other people explain about them. Also, I find them usuful to observe and explain at the same time students' mistakes when you can not have personal contact with them. Nice opinion!

week:1 TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR TEACH

Based on the article: "Computers and Language Learning: an overview" by Mark Warschauer and Deborah Healey.  Computers have been used for language teaching since the 1960s. The role of computers in language teaching has changed significantly in the last 30 years.  T he last few years have shown a greater interest in the use of computers for teaching and learning languages, since previously books and dictionaries were used more to teach and learn the language. Nowadays, technology has become a very important tool to teach and learn a language. However, despite all the advantages that I use technology can provide in the teaching area, it also brings some disadvantages for language teachers; since nowadays the role of teachers has changed drastically because as a result of the use of the computers to teach languages the teacher has become a facilitator of learning rather than the font of wisdom,  After to read this article which is really interesting, I can say that the...
