During this course I have realized that technology not only helps us to communicate with others but also the technology is an efficient tool that helps us today to do a lot more. But in education has become very important, because with it we can do much helpful the learning process. Not only we can learn a new language, we can also learn Matematics, Geography, History and many more subjects. But for us that we will become teachers is very helpful to all we can do with it. From finding information, to be able to take online classes no matter how far you are.
What most caught my attention is the last thing we've seen
in class, which is about podcasting. Some U.S. universities are beginning to
use it. It is very interesting to me because it is true that students do not
come to much class for the busy schedule they have. So, for this won’t be
longer a problem for either the teacher or the student, teachers record their
lessons and then they uploaded into podcasting for students can then download
it to their iPods. This way if they can not attend classes they can hear the
class wherever they are and take notes or check the most importante info. I like
the idea that not necessarily you have to go to the university. If you are
working you can easily hear your class or in your break or when you leave work,
but of course not everyone will have the resources for a iPod or the internet
for download.
Another thing I've seen in class and I liked is Glogster you
can add very funny things to your presentation and definitely you could develop
your creativity. But if this is not your thing and you want more a presentation
format Prezi is a good choice that also liked. Only the disadvantage of this, I
feel, it is a program that takes a long time to load.
