Reflection time.

    I have admitted that I am a digital immigrant : / but now I have to say that technology should be integrated in all the classrooms. Since we are immersed in the information age and technology is present in almost every part of our lives, we, as teachers of the digital natives, need to be updated with all this new things. As Piaget says in the quotation, we must teach the new generation in a different way, so as to help them to move on, to innovate, to be original. I accept that it's difficult to me to adapt to the new technologies I´m not used to, but I´m willing to learn. This year in ECO II, I learned many things. Little things that might sound unimportant for a digital native but for me they mean a step ahead in my learning process.

Prezi . . . or Powerpoint? that is the question

   I always considered that prezi was an original tool. However, I always chose Powerpoint  because I was used to it and I thought that prezi might confuse people sometimes. But now that I´ve been trying to use prezi, experimenting with it , I realized that it gives you other opportunities in the classroom. If you decide to use a prezi presentation in your lesson take advantage of its benefits: the zooming ,for instance, let you incorporate big images. Since it is not linear, your students can play with it, making it more interesting. You can also add videos and music, as two of my classmates did for a pw, and it was really amazing! They did an excellent job exploring this new tool.
  So, it is worth giving it a try.

Finally,I would like to share an article that I found interesting:
