There is an optinon: Certificaction.  Am I going to be redy to get this big step?  I need to  plan very well, get extra motivation  and  ask help to my children. They master technology and could guide me. I am going to think about it.

Now What?????

Plan :  What to do after the course????? Start a new plan. Plan, organize my time, read, learn, apply, b crative, ask for feedback, DO it!!!!! Use it , inetgrate it in every day activities. Who is going to be my mentor? Who is going to encourage me to continue, to correct, comment, and so on?????  I am going to be my own, as usual, life is just like this.  JUMP!!!!!!! I am sure I am going to start slowly, I hope in one year I am better with computers and e-Portfolios theory.

The first step to e-Portfolio in my teaching life.  A great class, we have shared a lot of ideas, new projects and plans. I do not know if I am going to be that good, but I am motivated. I have re-discovered:  Learning is FUN!

It is almost the end of the course, so many ideas and new questions.  The one to be answerd is HOW to start motivating students to incorporate an e-Porfolio to their daily practice of Language Learning, HOW to give them CHOICE AND VOICE????.  I would also like to add the WHEN????? I could start asking them to have a personal BLOG and storage their entries in Google Docs to be improved. Specify the kind of writing and speaking activity that is expected and determine a deadline, include clear description of the assignment , and a topic that is useful and interesting according to their field of studies. I am sure their technological skills are going to help them to integrate their oral and written production in a e-portfolio.  Comments and ideas are welcome!!!!!!!

At this point of the class I have some questions to be solved:   How to start gradually using this concepts in my class?  How to combine concepts from previous  workshops (I have my iPad now what??) and the e-portfolio.  But the best one is........  what kind of rubric and how to implement it ??????? That makes noise.
Improve my technological abilities, improve and apply some rubric development techniques and of course, apply the principles of collaborative work. I will be waiting for your help.

I have a great time today during class. Interesting experiences and concepts to use in my  classroom. Great company too, look at them

Google Drive and Mobile Devices

A very complex  and long topic. My students know a lot about thechnology, they have many electronic gadgets and master some of them.  They brig them to class and use them to learn, storage activities, look for information and complete research.
 Now I need to show them the best way to use them to make them a useful tool to imporve their portfolio, to save learning evidence and activities, and for the future job an excellent showcase. Voice, writing, ideas, reflection, and self-assesment in a synchronic and asynchronic form, a good rubric could go along and be part of the portfolio.
I see that  a portfolio refelcts students indvidual work and development, but behind there exists a great plan and lerning program developed by the school and/or teacher.
We need to select the best devices and manner to save and show the information that are going to represent best our students.
