Week 7!!!

This week we could read two good texts about Learner Autonomy by Thanasoulas and Shue, and could have some ideas on how to help our students enhance in that. We could notice that learner’s autonomy goes far beyond independency. I liked knowing how this concept have gained more importance over the years by learning a bit more about philosophies  it comes from like Positivism, Constructivism, and Critical Theory.

In addition, we were given some internet ideas to work with one computer classroom. I especially liked those because that is my reality when I take my laptop to class. One tip I am going to use with my students is ‘schools of thought’ at CNN.I feel that I am in the right way yet, I have a lot to improve.

On the other hand, I started working with the second technological tool with my students. I gave them two stories to work with Readers Theater last week so that they could read them at home and yesterday they decided on who is going to play each character. Next week they are supposed to record their lines and later I am going to make some comments in a way that they can improve mainly their oral skills.
