Week 9 Toughts

Hi everyone!


This week we had a wonderful debate concerning learning styles, which reminded me about how important and necessary is to consider and respect the characteristics of the students.

Technologies and online tasks can be helpful in the process of learning because it allows the teacher to work with a wider range of materials, such as videos and recordings. Also, with the use of technologies the learning process is controlled much more by the students than by the teacher.

A good surprise of this week was meeting Mr. Magoto and learning about ANVILL. It is a great tool  for implementing the use of technologies in our class. It is a kind of language lab. But virtual. I could learn a lot in our chat. Obrigada, Mr. Magoto! Thanks!

  1. Hello Ju
    I really agree with you that technology helps teachers to work in wide range of materials which makes our classes more benefit and engaging . Yes It was great leaning about ANVILL. It is a useful tool for implementing the use of technologies in our class. Unfortunately I could not explore the tool a lot as we sill have power cut issue in Yemen . I like your comment and Thanks a lot !

  2. Hello Ju,
    Yes, ANVILL is a great tool and I plan to test it with my learners next year. How about you? It's a pity that so few course participants managed to take part in the webinar with Jeff Magoto - it was a nice experience and a change from writing tasks we do during the course.
