My First Technology Class

In my first seminar of "Teaching with Technology" with Drs. Norton, Hathaway and Tareque we talked about the concept of technology and concluded that Technology is anything that help for us and mediate between us and the world.

We can use tools that helps us to live and understand our world and also to teach in our schools. They are classified in:

• Concepts
• Symbolic tools 
• Electronic

All those tools facilitate our teaching and achieve our goals with Authentic, background building, constructive and sharing activites. For these ones, teachers should assess the technology he/she is going to use, because different technologies afford differents activities and goals.

In this first session we created a blog, which will be a nice resource to keep track of what we are learning in this university and that allow us reflecting in English, developing writing skills as well.
