Technology Facilitates Autonomy...!
I must admit, this video has been extremely shocking for me!
Just WATCH and REFLECT: What are we doing with our students??
Technology or No Technology... That's the question!
The technological advances and of course the necessity of taking advantage of the free time to grow and be competitive in the laboral field, have been two aspects extremely important. I really think, Autonomous Learning Process means to turn down all the gates that are keeping teachers away from technology and innovation.
I just have six years of experience working as a teacher and I remember that what represented more difficulty to me was to face a new generation of students and teeangers that are not completely aware of the advantages and opportunities they have around to become better and create a future where their goals can be reached. But then,I realized that nowadays, education does not mean to keep on blaming the students because they are lazy or theirs parents because the may not care enough, it just means that the challenge of teaching and be a facilitator is so much bigger and we, as teachers, must be updated, we must understand the world and everything that is surrounding our students in order to change the way they are accessing to knowledge.
I am totally sure that the process to reach all our targets is not easy but the idea is not to give up, it is just necessary to invite more colleagues that can support our ideas and create a new team of teachers ready to change our surrounding world. We cannot expect students to change and be motivated, we must start by ourselves!

THERE’S NO APP FOR GOOD TEACHING

Some time ago, I found this interesting article and I want to share with you because we already know that there are many teachers afraid of technology BUT sadly, we must admit there are another kind of teachers who are taking so much advantage of technologyy that have also forgotten that they are the main characters of the process and they must guide students in the process of dealing with technology, because finally, what determines a resource is truly succesful, is the teacher!
