JULY 16 th and 17 th

This week lessons have been very useful for us as teachers we have talked about different important things. I would like to start talking about objectives. Now I know that is important to set our goals according to bloom´s taxonomy and that we must be able to develop activities that provide our students which each level of complexity, it is good to start with easy activities but little by little we must try different activities which provide our students of challenges to develop a better critical thinking.

Talking about listening and reading strategies is really interesting because most of the time if we use a book in the class we follow the instructions and that is all, but we don´t now if this is really effective or meaningful for our students so we must learn to be creative and analyze each exercise that we are going to use in the class to make the most of it, otherwise it will be unnoticed by our class.

It is  also important to know about the principles of each skill because before using an exercise we can analyze  if it is suitable for our students of if we can do something to improve it.

On the other hand we talked about learning styles and multiple intelligence which is completely useful because we can know each student style that is useful to design our activities and include a wide variety for all our students. Perhaps we may think that some students don´t learn but we must discover what is the best way they do it. We must recognize that all people learn but in different ways.
