Digital Literacies

 

Currently, most students are not trained in new technologies and see a great obstacle to use them to carry out different activities that take place in the classroom, and this clearly influences their low learning process since they feel frustrated. Likewise, the little training of teachers in ICT causes misuse of these, and students may feel confused and not be able to achieve the planned objectives.   

This resistance affects their understanding since students currently use these new technologies in leisure time and not to study. They consider that cell phones and laptops are used only to play and have fun. All this is a problem for the teacher since he will have to innovate by creating new strategies to capture the attention of the student and make them not feel so confused.

Finally, some strategies that we would propose would be good training for both students and teachers about ICT so that they can use them properly and students can reach the learning objectives of each class without barriers. Another strategy would be the use of these technologies in recreational but academic activities, for example platforms such as Kahoot, Duolingo, among others, that allow students to feel that they are playing and that they do not realize that they are learning.

Flipped Learning

Would you like to know what flipped learning consists of? In simple words, it is a pedagogical method in which the teacher transfers certain learning processes outside the classroom. In this work outside the classroom, students commonly watch and analyze videos or any other material on the topic that the teacher will teach in the next lesson. In this way, students will already have knowledge about the next class and the teacher will have the facility to achieve the objectives set in it. Now we present you some benefits that this method brings with it: 1) This method helps the teacher to spend more time with most of the students in the classroom. 2) This method gives the teacher the opportunity to share more knowledge with the students and provide feedback on the knowledge. 3) Creating a friendly and collaborative environment in the classroom is one of its great benefits. 4) In one way or another, it involves the students' families in the learning process. 😊📘

Active Learning

Have you ever heard of active learning? For those who did not know it, active learning is a learning method that basically consists of the continuous participation of students in the classroom and that contributes favorably to the process of acquiring objective knowledge, or in this case the target language. Or according to Richard M. Felder and Rebecca Brent (2016) in their essay "Active Learning" they mention that this method is based on short activities related to individual courses that are done in small groups, where all students in a class are called upon to do , alternating with instructor-led intervals in which student responses are processed and new information is presented.
