The use of netbooks, notebooks and specific software of prosumption makes it necessary for teachers to apply Icts effectively when dealing with students ‘ activites both in the classroom and at home.

Previous cognitive schemata and procedures restructure themselves to give way to new learning ,enhanced by the management of Icts.

Process

Students have learned the specific vocabulary and grammar of the course they are attending while getting to manage the basic procedures in Icts. They have worked on an adapted sequence on the topic Family relations.They have analyzed a template, done interactive crosswords, seen a short video, done an interactive multiple choice ppt test , created a flash family tree, recorded and videoed the tree family they wrote about, designed posters , taken photos and videoed one of the classes in the lab.Many students have worked a lot , some have contributed with photos and videos , some have worked at home and in class but most of them have shared and liked the experience.Still, there is a lot to be done.

Activities (just few samples)

Analyzing the experience…In general ,children liked the activities that were more interactive and that appealed to their creativity more than to their knowledge of the language.For some, new dealings mean a challenge, for others they stand for obstacles that lead to insecurity. Some students found the topic touching especially when they had to create the family tree in which there are members that are absent or that are conflictive.It took me more time to appease them than to explain them icts. For most of them, the experience represented the onset of the way they are going to work when they have the netbooks.That is my greatest contribution.

Instituto Amadeo Jacques Second Form

Colegio Secundario M.O. Espósito Second Form I & II

Same town, same building, same age- group, same relations, same teacher ,same wish :

Second Form I - Colegio M.O Espósito

Second Form – Instituto Amadeo Jacques

Second Form II - Colegio M.O Espósito

Despite the fact that the students have not received the netbooks yet, thanks to the courses provided by APPI , Conectar Igualdad andEduc-ar

, we are dealing quite well considering that the schools do not have so many computers in the

lab, that some are outdated , most of the software is provided by teachers and that few

students who are not willing to work in English or in technology affect their peers’ learning

somehow.

Final reflection

Thanks to all the people who help me go on learning!!!
