Reflection: Part 1.

    On this entrance, I'm going to share with you a reflection that I have done about the first part of the subject.
 
 
-WHAT DID I KNOW ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE?


Before we started with this class, I knew how to use some applications that are useful for teachers such as blogster or wikispaces because I used them some years ago in school and university. Moreover, I had some knowledge on solving problems related to settings or internet, I could create and modify content with some simple applications like moviemaker and finally I was able to communicate through some applications such as whatsapp, instagram, snapchat...
I knew some other applications like quizlet or kahoot but I didn’t really know how to use them properly.
 


-WHAT HAVE I LEARNT?


Besides a lot of technical vocabulary related to ICT, I have learnt how to use many useful applications and websites that I use nowadays and some others that I will use in my future as a teacher. In addition, not only have I learnt how to use them, but also now I know how to create different activities for infant students. Those applications are: storyjumper, mendeley, quizlet kahoot... However, in some other  programs like word I have learnt really useful and basic things like create an index.
On the other hand, I have learnt the importance of technology on class nowadays, and the importance that it has to motivate students to work with all the competences and to develop fine motor skills and linguistic skills.
Finally, the thing that I consider the most important one is that now I feel that I’m able to use many different tools to improve my future english classes.
 
-WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE MOST USEFUL FOR ME? AND THE LEAST?


I reckon that the most useful applications that I have discovered in this class are storyjumper and quizlet since first of all, I know how to use them properly and secondly I think that are really interesting to create personal and engaging materials to use in class. Moreover, they are both really visual and they have many possibilities. 
On the other hand, as an English teacher, I find dictionaries now and for my future an essential tool.
Applications like mendeley will be also useful for specific moments such as the elaboration of the TFG owing to the fact that it reference and organise documents really fast.
However, applications like dropbox are not that useful for me since I prefer other alternatives like google drive. Despite that, I may use it in the future.
 
-WHAT HAVE I LIKED THE MOST?


From my point of view, applying into practice the theory has been essential in this subject. The opportunity of creating activities with different apps and then use them for CLIL is what I have enjoyed the most.
