Las 10 Tecnologías Que No Deben Faltar En Tus Clases

“Quien se atreve a enseñar, nunca debe dejar de aprender.” John Cotton Dana

No cabe duda que el proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje ha sufrido cambios durante los últimos años. La globalización, el uso del las tecnologías, el enfoque constructivista y colaborativo, y los intereses y expectativas de los alumnos, entre otras, han sido factores que de alguna manera han influido en este proceso. Por lo tanto dicho proceso ha tenido que verse en la necesidad de adaptarse para cumplir con las demandas de la sociedad y de las exigencias del mundo en que vivimos.

Las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación) han jugado un rol importante. Manuel Moreno Castañeda menciona en su artículo “Las TIC para la educación en el siglo XXI (Educación para la autonomía y la convivencia) que es recomendable que las instituciones replanteen los sistemas educativos hacia un enfoque más innovador que proyecte características como aprendizaje significativo, autogestivo, participativo, autocipatorio, y creativo. Una herramienta en la cual nos podemos apoyar es utilizando los medios electrónicos de telecomunicación y los sistemas de información.

Ante esta situación y según el Dr. Esteban Ocampo Flores, Decano de la Facultad de Educación, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, una de las grandes tareas y retos que tenemos los docentes es el de conocer estas nuevas formas de comprensión, cognición, interacción y construcción del conocimiento para saber integrar las TIC en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

El propósito de este artículo es presentar 10 herramientas tecnológicas que podrían apoyar y facilitar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje tanto de una segunda lengua como es el ingles (English as Second Language, ESL) como de cualquier otra materia. También compartiremos nuestra experiencia en esta área.

Antes de implementar en nuestras clases alguna de las TIC que mencionaremos a continuación, es necesario considerar lo siguiente:

1) ¿Se ajusta a nuestras necesidades? ¿Se cumplirá el objetivo de la actividad?

El usar una herramienta que no sea la adecuada puede causar frustración tanto al maestro como al alumno.

2) ¿Es lo suficientemente clara y accesible?

Si la respuesta a esta pregunta es si, entonces hay que llevarlo a cabo y enganchar a los alumnos en este proceso que lograra una coparticipación más completa y profunda. La misma actividad a través de una tic siempre dará mejores resultados.

3) ¿Cuánto tiempo hay que invertir?

En la mayoría de los casos la planeación y preparación inicial van a llevar mucho más tiempo del que nos llevaría normalmente, pero esto se convertirá en ventaja al final.

Rugrats

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”

My favorite cartoon is Rugrats, the main characters are Tommy Pickles who is the leader he always is looking for a new adventure, Carlitos is Tommy´s best friend , he is a little bit nervous, Angelica Pickles,Tommy´s cousin, is the only that can speak and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, and she often uses it as an advantage, and she always wants to be the king´s toddlers. The twin-infants Phil and Lil they love all kind of insects, they always enjoy tommy´s adventures and the neighbor Susi Carmichale, she also can speak and understand both languages, but she never uses this advantage to manipulate , that’s why all the toddlers love her.

Someone that I can’t forget is Tommy´s grandfather, he is like this kind of grandpa, that you love, you don’t know why, but he is everything for you ( even if he always falls asleep and sometimes you get lost in the “Reptar-Movil”).

I have seen this cartoon since I had memory, it has been always in my memories and when I listen to their theme, I remember all my childhood; that’s why I don’t have a favorite chapter, but I can remember some of them, in Halloween,etc.. Something that I can remember are the movies, I love the two movies, although I think that I love the movies, more for the memories that I have.

In all my memories I can see myself, sitting on the floor and just enjoying the cartoon, I can remember the peace and the calm that you have when you are a child.

For me this cartoon reflects all the magic that our imagination has, and with all the personalities that the cartoon has, it is easier to break down all the essence of the cartoon; a important point is that you always need someone who inspired you, someone that always said “ You can do it” and always trusts in you, that’s why Tommy is the most important , he is a key point in this cartoon; also we can see very different personalities, Carlitos is someone that always prefers to stay in home and just do what he needs to do, and when he meets Tommy all his world change and the way that he see the world, and obviously each character reflects a specific kind of personality.

For me, this kind of cartoon invites everyone, to imagine, to not be afraid and of course, to enjoy each part of your life, each part has something good, and sometimes we can find a “Reptar”.

Spiderman

Hi, my name is Antonio.

My favorite cartoon is Spiderman; I used to watch it when I was a boy with my brother. It reminds me of my childhood. Spiderman is about a normal guy that gets bitten by a very strange spider and suddenly he has the abilities of a spider like a web, super strange and extreme jumps. It´s set in the city of New York and the reason of his existence is to fight the crime to make a better city for everyone. This is a really interesting cartoon because Spiderman has to personalities, one is a really boring and shy man that is called Peter Parker how has a normal job being a photographer in the daily news, and the other one that is the one of Spiderman who is an outgoing and intrepid person, he is in love with a girl called Marry Jane. I remember that I used to watch this cartoon every time after school and that I felt asleep; this also brings me good memories because when I was a boy I used to have a lot of toys of Spiderman and I used to have so much fun with these ones.

Alvin and the Chipmunks

I am talking about my favorite cartoon; it is Alvin and the chipmunks.

The main characters are Alvin, Simon, Theodore and their father David. The cartoon is about a band made by three animated chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) represented by their father David, they get into trouble, and it was funny.

 It’s a lovely and funny cartoon. I enjoyed a lot watched Alvin and chipmunks

 I started watching it when I was a child, I think since when I was even years old. But recently I haven’t been able to see my favorite cartoon because I don’t have time. need to work and go to school and I think it was taken out of open television so I Can’t see it I hope it will be again on the open television because I don’t have television cable his cartoon reminded me my amazing childhood, I saw the cartoon always at the afternoon when I left the school. Theodore reminded me of my cousin, My cousin is one year old and he is a pretty, fat and curious baby.  

My favorite character is Theodore because he is more curious, emotional, innocent and fat than the other chipmunks it’s a tender and lovely character.

nuria's favorite cartoon DOUG

MY FAVORITE CARTOON DOUG

Nuria Pérez-Rubio Barragán

My favorite cartoon ever is Doug, I saw it on Nickelodeon every day, the characters were Doug and Judy his sister, his dos Cops, his best friend Tito and Patti  Mayonaissse who he was always in love with.

I don´t remember exactly when I began to see this program but it  was long ago, and it is very long time since I last saw it, I think it is not on television anymore, but if i find it course I’ll see it.

This cartoon always reminds me of my childhood, I also remember my vacation on the beach, because the channels for children were always in English and I always saw it in English, and I remember when I was at home sometimes I used to see this cartoons in English to feel on holiday at the beach.

I remember that the characters in this series were very different from the others, because they were blue, and yellow, and purple, and were very funny. This cartoon will always be my favorite.

THE SIMPSONS

My favorite cartoon is the Simpsons because I started seeing when I was 8 years old, and now I see them in the night, I star see that carton because my cousin see in his house every day, and we talked about the cartoon and that was fantastic for my childhood.

The Simpsons are an American family living in Springfield, Homer, the father, works as a safety inspector at the nuclear power plant with funny and innocent attitude. He is married to Marge, a housewife with their children Bart, a troublemaker with 10 years old, Lisa with 8 years, and Maggie the baby.

Bart is my favorite character, the way they act and how it influences all the characters in the city, but Homer with his crazy ideas makes the cartoon unique.

This cartoon has been one of the most controversial and famous over time, because say how can explain the lives of Americans, the famous Duff beer, and other things... I strongly agree with Bart on all his jokes because during my childhood I was very restless.
