Didactics 2

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog!! Unfortunately this is the last blog of the register, to which I have to say went by really quickly. We are almost in September!! I actually was not able to attend past week's class due to medical reasons, although I asked some of my classmates what was the class the about and I read some of my classmate's blogs too. Lic Orlando talked about the PPP classes, which consist on:  Presentation : In the initial stage, the teacher spends the majority of his time explaining what the topic is going to consist about. During this stage, students will master various concepts. This stage is primarily for teachers and requires ingenuity to effectively guarantee student understanding.   Practice : The interaction between students and teachers is twofold, with students actively practicing and teachers providing important guidance and supervision.

 Hello there and welcome back to my blog!! From what I’ve read on other classmate’s vlogs I see what they meant when they referred to Mrs. Brendaly’s activity. I was quite confused at first because I don’t remember seeing her around or so until I read that she specifically called some students to help her on some tasks with other students.

Here are some recommendations she gave us when charging for our work.  Here are some of the companies she shared with us to get equipment for our inter...

 Hello everyone welcome back to my blog!! In our last class before entering our august vacations we covered more about lesson planning as we did not have class the week before, this was like a continuation of the same topic.  Throughout the whole class we took a deep look into how to "warmup" the lesson before starting, by having a way of activating the mind of our students, then introducing the topic, to then move into a fun activity that can work as a ice breaker so the group gets to distract and have some fun, so finally we get to create a community. We also reviewed some activities that can be done in class, here are some: - Activities to group people: Name tags, shirt colors, age groups and even names were some of things that we thought could be used to ease the grouping of people ( in class I actually came up with the idea of grouping people by their zodiac sign or birth date).  - Activities to measure time:  To measure time, we can simply use an online stopwa...
