Last Reflection: Summary, Description, experiences, opiniones, suggestions and more....

I learnt a lot of things on this course specially in unit 2, 3 and 4.the reason it could be the type of activities,maybe some of them involved our personal experiences and personality, thats great.
I liked to work in pairs and my challenge was the last activity i guees, because I created an online class or something like that and it was amazing when I can interact with other web pages , not only with the blackboard.
the one of the implicit purpose of this course was to be creative and to explore our investigation spirit wasnt it?
i think, there is no limit to know something, if you like it... go and finding the ways of new opportunities to learn.

I want to take another online course for sure, my expectations were achieve, and sometimes i felt older when i tried to do anything with tecnology, after all i appreciate the effort of all my classmates and in particular the teacher, She made a good job by designing the course, thats really admirable. for my part, I have to study hard to get clear ideas and acummulate rich information to be helpful in the future.

in the other hand, when I did get the idea of some activity, i looked it out my partners opinions and that was my....impulse or inspiration? (if i can use that word) to continue to read and do everything.
Thank u!


I found a video on the web, about distance learning, the teacher said that there are three important aspects to be succes on online learning, he mentioned as characteristics of it. Discussion board, Academic chat, and assigments and what are the implication of each one.
copy this link and check the video!

A reflective piece of writing Unit 3

It was a long Unit, but the mayority of the activities were interesnting, i like it when i learn something, in this case I learnt a lot.

When I focus on what am i going to write I like to be explecit (clear) and make sure to give alternatives.
some activities were longer than others, some atohers shoert but deep, and its good to know that a unit is a mixed of many assessments
not just lineal.
I liked the exercises with animals behaviors, in general i prefer the activities that implcates our opinions and proposals.

ASSESSMENT AND FEEDBACK

Here are some categories of criteria for assessment:
 number of contributions
 quality of contributions
 building on contributions of others
 summarising contributions

ACCORDING TO THIS CRITERIA, I DECIDED TO PUT THIS ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:

1.- QUALITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS: THE COMMENTS MUST BE AUTHENTIC AND SHOW A REFLECTIVE THINKING OF WHAT WE ALREADY LEARN.
2.- BUILDING ON CONTRIBUTIONS OF OTHERS: BECAUSE IT IS AN INTERACTIVE MODEL, CONTRIBUTIONS OF OTHERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT, TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND LEARN OF EACH OTHER.
3.- NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS: POST ENOUGH COMMENTS ITS GOOD TO BE RESPONSABLE AND POAY ATTENTION OF THE ACTIVITIES.
4.- SUMMARISING CONTRIBUTIONS: THIS LAST POINT IS IMPORTAT TOO, AND IT SHOWS ABILITY TO UNDERSATNDING IN A SHORT EXPLANATION.

I ADDED ANOTHER CRITERIA TO ASSESS:
5.- REFLECTS ANOTHER REFERENCE IN COMMENTS, LIKE INVETIGATION, RESEARCH FROM INTERNET (PAGES, BLOGS, ORGANIZATIONS, BOOKS, AUTHORS ETC), STUDENTS HAVE TO READ A LOT AND FIND MORE INFORMATION BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THIS KIND OF EDUCATION, SO IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW MORE INFO. THAN ONE TEXT, AND ITS REQUIRE TO MAKE PROPOSAL AND COMMENT COME OTHER SOURCES THAT THEY FOUND.

FEEDBACK:

Personal development plan
 development needs: TO ENCOURAGE AND IMPULSE THE STUDENT´S INICIATIVE TO PARTICIPATE BY GIVING CLEAR EXPLANATION AND TO CREATE A GOOD ATMOSPHERE TO WORK.
 development objective: DEPENDS ON THE ACTIVITIES, SOME REQUIRES MORE THAN ONE REFLECTION, SHOW EXAMPLES OF COMMENTS, PROPOSE ONE FREE ACTIVITY PER UNIT BUT ALSO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CONTROBUTIONS BETWEEN LEARNERS. cREATE A DISCUSSION AFTER EVERY UNIT.
 Strategy: USE FORMAL TEXTS AND SOME OTHER WITH CONTROVERSIAL ASPECTS TO REFLECTS ON CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCES.
 Actions:
- BE KIND, BY GIVING A GENERAL CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIC AFTER EVERY UNIT, AND FOCUS ON THEIR ACTIVITY COMMENTS TO ENCORAGE THEIR LEARNING PROCESS, AND ALSO GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SELFCORRECTION, COMPARING WITH OTHER.
