On 30 June, I had the opportunity to attend a conference / workshop for secondary high school Maldonado 4. It was an invitation for English language teachers in the area, but as regards Ceibal, I was also invited as the proposal was how to integrate the XO in English language classes.
The workshop was presented by Daniel Rodriguez and Nino assistance. We demonstrated experiences with students using technology for learning. As we take note, students are more open to work with suggestions, are carried out smoothly and to interact in that environment.
talked about using social networking applied to learning andNING networks in particular. In fact, we entered http://espaenlinea.ning.com/ we showed the interest of many students in the proposal.
also talked about the possibilities of using Google groups, which also has helped many students to participate.
The use of ICTs in education opens paths and experiences that clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. Although not displace the traditional tools, provide more resources that are very practical for the generation of digital natives, so it will be attracted to use, sometimes leading up to the same teachers in their use.
The day was very rewarding, since we "opened our eyes" to interesantes proposals can make in our classes ... not only English, but virtually any subject.
