What did I learn ?

During this Semester, I've learned many things about technology, I learned how to use some tools and it would be very interesting to use them when I am a teacher. Wordle, Edublogs, Storymaker(if you don't what I'm talking about, it means you didn't read all of my posts !!), those websites could help me to make my teaching more attractive, to make my pupils want to learn ! 

I also learned how much stories can be useful to teach vocabulary, to teach them things through activities they like. I hadn't realized that games, songs, and all the creative activities are the best way to teach. I understood that if we don't adapt ourselves to the pupils, they won't feel engaged, they won't feel like learning new things every day ! Knowing what are the new technologies, in what world children evolve, we will be able to know how to make the teaching interesting, how to make them want to come to school day after day. 

I also learned many things concerning the use of the computer such as screenshots, lists of vocabulary on Wordle, creating stories on Voicethread, creating a blog... I really liked all of these activities, I think it helped me to be more open-minded concerning the integration of social networks or technologies within the class.

My language didn't improve as much as I expected, we rather learned technical words, but it benefited me too.

I didn't encounter many difficulties, the explanations for realizing each task were very clear. The fact that I study  English really helped me. But I'm not saying that I didn't make progress, I have learned many things, much more important than new words of vocabulary such as methods of teaching.

Very interesting semester !
