WEEK 2

We are continuing increasing our knowledge and skills to make use of the UTA platform. We started this session changing our personal Aula Virtual´s password for more security. Then, we learned more about taking part in a forum discussion, where its participants can provide their opinions to make it richer in sources. We live in a very rich culture, but it is even more important for us to get in contact and learn from foreign people. They can inform us about many things that could be useful to become in people with opened mind. Teacher Wilma started one to train and to engage us to use it. Everybody participated on it and it was really interesting to learn and perform this assignment as well. Forums are so useful tools to keep our students interested on any topic and in a continue learning process.

Our posts are very important for teacher Wilma, she explained us, because she can realize how much and how well we are learning throughout them. She explained us how manage our entries well. We did a practice-quiz in order to get ready for the real one that will be next week. It was structured on the Hot-potatoes platform that evaluates our current knowledge based on a multi-answer format and ranks our performance according to our right or wrong responses.

A good teacher pursuits the excellence. We are learning about many tools to become in the best ones. We are being trained by the best teachers as well. Now, our one responsibility is to take advantage of these resources that our scholars are setting right in our hands to get our aims fulfilled. That´s why I have looked for a video to make us even more aware of the importance of using technology to teach English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaPbbchA9LY
