Technology is an opportunity, a risk and a need.
Nevertheless, the effectiveness of technology in the classroom has to be supported by a new teaching and learning perspective.
In my First Portfolio I already approached technology by making my students create their own online multiple choice game to help them review for an exam. I obtained an amazing response from my students: I saw them engaged in the process and pleased with their results, so I decided to continue exploring different strategies. I also included a WebQuest in that portfolio, and I was able to share that experience in the UDESA Aulas Heterogéneas conference.
This portfolio shows my journey towards looking for the best way to implement technology into my teaching practices. The following questions guided my work this year:
How can I implement technology in a meaningful way?
How can I overcome some of the difficulties that appear when using technology in the classroom?
How can I make these learning opportunities unique for my students?
