Week 3


LEARNING  REFLEXION JOURNAL
                During this week I learned a new and interesting topic that is “Plagiarism” .It can be considered the act of steal the ideas, comments,and thoughts that come from someone else. Also, there are some people who take advantage from this, because they use the information from anyone else to do their own, but they do not give the credit to the original author. However, there are some ways to avoid “Plagiarism”. For example: Citing, Paraphrasing,and Quoting. All those are good examples to avoid “Plagiarism”. According with these we can use the information from other side and we can change the structure with our own words, but it is necessary to mention to the author. Besides ,we have the chance to use the Quotation for mentioning what other person said before ,but we need to use quotation marks(“”).As a conclusion, we should  respect the other people`s  effort and we must trust what we know in order to avoid stealing  someone else`s works to get  good grades.

Week 2


LEARNING REFLEXION JOURNAL
           During this week I could learn more about how to use technology in the Multimedia Class. First at all, we entered to the “Aula Virtual “there we created an account to log in the web space where we are going to work online this semester. Besides, we edited our personal information in each account. For example: we created a new password in order to protect our accounts from other people. Also, we learned how to put our blogs in this space and accede in a direct way from this, and we had to edit the information in them. Besides, we learned about a new space “Forum “where we can share opinions ideas about any topic. Also, we have the chance to reply the comments of other classmates. At the end of the class we had a training for a quiz that is going to be online. Finally, we need to be prepared to use the technology in a positive way in order to get benefits for the students and the teacher as well.

Week 1

                                                    Learning Reflexion Journal

       Last class, I could learn more about how to use the technology to teach English. Besides, our teacher taught us that the information located on internet is not always true. For this reason is really important to know how to identify if some web pages have real information that can help us to do our assignments. As a conclusion, technology can be considered a very useful tool to teach English, because it allows students to search for information that can be used to improve their knowledge. On the other hand, I could learn that when our teacher explained more about it during the class. She gave us some suggestions about how to use a web page in a correct way. Also, she taught us that technology has some advantages and benefits that can facilitate the work of students. Then, they will be able to understand the things by themselves and the role of the teacher is only to guide them during this process. Finally, I really hope to apply this knowledge in order to create an innovative way to teach English in a way that students can enjoy every class and they can feel motivated to learn new things in the Learning process.
