Conclusion

what I learned


Being a teacher is an amazing and demanding thing to do. During this process I could know more about myself regarding to what strengths and weaknesses I can have at the moment of teaching. From this wonderful experience I not only learned from my mistakes but also I learned too many things from my students. They taught me about their lives and all the effort they have to do to get an access to education. I met a wonderful group of people whose commitment made possible those lessons.
We as educators must use technology tools as good as possible trying to adjust the needs of the students making them learn in the best possible way letting know that technology is not only made to waste time but that they can learn using it.
The use of video conference was always a good method to teach vocabulary and pronunciation to my students and it helped them not only to learn but to feel immerged in the foreign language. There are still some things to improve because in some situations the internet connection presented some problems but I think this is a lesser problem for the upcoming future.
Nowadays we have the access to a new reality which is the virtual reality. Thanks to the advancements of technology we can practice English with a person hundreds of miles away from us. We only have to get access to it.
Technology created not only a new way to learn things but also it changed our world perspective because now we can obtain information from many different places using many different methods. Its impact has been so big that now we cannot imagine our life without it. The information has increased but it is our responsibility as teachers to give a correct use of it.

I hope to continue growing up as a teacher being able to give my best in any situation that I will face. As a final statement I must say that teaching is a constant learning.

On the other hand, there are some students whose English level is so basic that they can barely express their ideas in a fluent way. I feel that this may be a problem for the future because I don’t know how to deal with this situation.  If I make activities for the student with level th...

An overview of my portfolio

Being a teacher is one of the most challenging and exciting things to do. We are in constant chance and development looking for new methods and approaches that better satisfy the needs of our students. There have been many ways in which those methods have been performed but in this work I will analyze the lessons given through a virtual environment using the help of the tool Google hang outs and you tube. The social networks have changed the way we perceived education. The way the lesson that are going to be described in this portfolio are an example of how technology and social media helped create an amazing way to teach helping both teacher and students. Thanks to those elements, people who could barely take part in speaking lessons were able to practice and improve in different areas. One of the most demanding and difficult skill to practice is speaking. In order to develop this skill it is important for the learners to have time to practice. In a virtual environment it used t...
