Module1
Activity 3: Netiquette
The article from Gary (1996) makes me realized why some conversations through the Internet, portable devices like phones or any other impersonal way of communication become a 'flaming spiral' between people. There are plenty reasons, but most of them are a result from the incorrectly use of words, capital letters, emotions, comments, etc. The ironic point is for me, that people sometimes are unaware of it. Sometimes, those mistakes are also related with the cultural conventions.
Besides, I think that it is important to be aware and to take into account these principles on written communications, even more when one knows that comments posted in any public place can be spread it around. These principles help to me to know how to maintain an appropriate relationship with the other person who is writing to me. At the same time, the knowledge of these rules makes me help to act as a spokesperson to my students or anybody else.
Activity 7. Reflecting on what I will learn
I had registered in this course in order to know more about the use of technology. I would like to combine the knowledge that I will get in it with the contents that I used to teach at school. I consider students develop better in the process of teaching-learning with technology. At the same time, I hope to learn from my partners and Miguel, because I consider that I do not know everything about technology. I would like to know a fast way to find pages about reading for children. I had spent long time doing it some months ago. I hope to learn how to use the many tools that are able on the Web.
Module 2
Activity1: What is Technology?
Today, technology represents for me a useful, interesting and fast tool. It makes possible to find, to send, and to publish information about politics, technology, sports, music, education, health and so on. In latest years it has been introducing in the educational field as an alternative way for teaching-learning. I believe that Technology is a means to an end to get interactive and educational ways which help them to spread the contents and result from their areas.
Activity 2: My experience with technology
In my experience with technology, I could say that I have been learning more and more everyday. I enjoy using technology, it helps me a lot. Through it I can develop myself in educational, social and health aspects.
