Final Reflection

Even though this is the end of the course, this is not the end of our learning. What I liked the most about the subject was the fact that it was very practical, since the teacher made us apply and experiencethe ideas she provided us with. Also, another interesting fact was that we weren't asked to present our assignments in hard copies, but online. 

I believe that what distinguishes this subject from others is the fatc that whenever we have a doubt or want to learn more about a specific topic, we can contact the expert online and talk (or chat) with him/her, as we did with Graham Stanley and Ozge Karaoglu.

This subject made me convince myself that the key to a successful educational system is pedagogy + content + technology + appropriate context + (most importantly) commitment, which is the reason why I think this course shouldn’t be optional but compulsory in every teacher training college.


Below you can see how I used one of the webtools we learnt to illustrate the most important concepts of the course. Hope you like it!

Our Personal Learning Network

Building our own PNL (Personal Learning Network) is essential for teachers. PLNs are networks or connections that you can have in order to connect with other people or experts of the field you are interested in, share ideas and learn from them and help others. You can get in touch with different people by creating your own Personal Learning Environment, which consists of different webtools that the owner of the PLE makes use of. PLN are highly important since the learning comes from connecting with other people, in this case, online. Thanks to our PLE you can get in touch with other schools abroad and start school link projects that can enrich our students’ (and our own, why not?) learning.

Thanks to this subject, I’ve created my own PLN, which consists of several webtools for different purposes and I have also learnt how to curate the many websites I come across. This will work as a springboard to later enable me to develop professionally by getting in touch with content-area specialists and learn about new technology and how to integrate it into my teaching: my students, grateful!
