Reflection 4 (online stories)

In this week we learnt a lot of thing that I think all of them are very interesting.

The activity we did on Monday was about creating online stories by using a web page which offers different tools such as pictures or texts. Not only can we use this page for us (teachers) we can also use it for our students, because I think that it would be super interesting if our students made up an story by using this motivating page.

If we com

pare it with the traditional mythology, for example inventing a little story with pencil and paper, it would be much more boring than using this page. Besides we are living in a technological age and all kids were born in the google generation, so we have to take advantage of it and use technologies through learning.

We are encourage them to be keen on literacy due to the fact that they are inventing stories and they take part in their own invention and they are not only reading books, so we make them be aware that they can be authors too.

The second activity we did was quite cool, because we learnt how to edit videos. I never edited any videos before so I found it quite difficult but I liked it at the same time.

I think teachers have to have a good grasp of technological tools, because in our profession we will have to use technology more and more intense.

We can edit videos for example, when we want to show a video to our students and we have to cut some part or if we see some difficult part to understand we have put subtitles which would make videos easier to understand. 

 In my opinion is that we are learning a lot of interesting technological tools that we didn’t know that it existed and we realized that we can use them and carry out a lot of activities with them. In this week we learnt a lot of thing that I think all of them are very interesting.
