What a great week. Week 7.

We almost finish with this week, if someone would ask me about the most interesting week, I wouldn´t answer, every week in this course is surprising me.

I have read about constructivism before, but I never imagine my students building their knowledge.

The point is that this course, open my mind and now I think that I am able to generate independent and autonomous students. When I start reading the articles, writing my thoughts, and reading my web mates opinions, is when I realized what I can do. This idea did not stop there, after reading the article about one computer in a class, my mind start flying so far. My classroom only contains an obsolete TV with a VHS, and a broken DVD. But I have my own technology stuff such as a lap top, an iPad, and also I have access to internet at my room, so I can start modifying my teaching inviting my students to be independent and responsible for their learning process. Talking about this process, last week I invite my group to be part of this project, I invite one of my most enthusiastic and a participative group, the answer that I got was a strong yes!!! (I did it with the pertinent permissions and authorization) The only question that comes to my mind was while each student is going to be working at the computer, what is going to be doing the rest of the group?

As I have to teach everybody the same, I think that I have to plan another kind of independent work for them, so everybody is busy. As my groups are small groups at last 25 students, I think that this is not going to be difficult.

Let see what is next.......
