De Volta para o future
In Silvia Tolarno’s most recent posting of her blog, Lang witches, she focus on how education across the world
is being driven towards the use of technology in the classroom. An instructor
in Portugal, Ana Paula Cortez, has her students create fictitious Facebook
accounts to accompany an imaginary person and the developments of their
"lives". Ms. Cortez developed this project to instill an interest in
her students concerning the Life Cycle. The seventh and eighth graders were to
establish their characters’ storylines, express their opinions and values by
posting appropriate materials, upload pictures, and understand what basis were
required in order to establish a stable future. With assistance of social
media, Ms. Cortez was able to keep her students engage while covering various
topic areas in one project.
Blogging in Math?
Silvia Tolisano's next blog concentrated on how more
instructors of various subject areas have started to blog. Recently, math
teachers have come to realize that they could take advantage of this form of
technology to assist their students. Ms. Tolisano stated that blogging "is
about “presenting” your work, your thoughts and products to a large audience
FOR feedback". With a blog, students can actually contemplate about their
math problems and discuss issues they are encountering. Projects that students were
focusing on were reviewed by peers who would give feedback and
encouragement. Technology, when used correct, can be a fabulous tool to engage students, regardless of the subject area.
