WIX

Hello everyone out there, I want to share what a fun experience I had with this tool/webpage called Wix, and with this assignment making my own website. I really liked the webpage and all the options that it gave me as a teacher to use what I thought was the best way to make a presentation and make it very interactive. I do realize that I can make it an "real" website, but mine is what I've mentioned previously, a concept, not a functioning entity, so I do apologize in advanced for not making the "sign up" a real thing. But, in it you will find information based in real experiences, some uses for music in the classroom, experiences that can inspire to help building different activities or as well to make use of the talent that you have to share with the students a mery time in class, even if your skills are playing the music on your phone or computer, it's ok, because it is the power of music to change a mood or ambient for everyone in the classroom. It can be a few seconds or a whole hour oriented towards this. Check out the blog entry video to check out how teaching music and language have merged in this example.

If you liked the Idea or anything you saw, I will apreciate if you leave a comment, Thank you for stopping by, best regards to you all.

Here I attach my webpage link: wix.com/soul-connected

Prezi presentation

Hello everyone, the topic that I've decided to choose is: Technology to bring us closer, the use of technology to help improve teaching skills with students' individual learner differences, according to the video "Shaping the Way We Teach English: Module 11, Individual Learner Differences, and to some of the things we know about technology as students of this course. Technology can lead education towards a better communication between students and teachers, it can make assignments easier, more accessible, etc., but teachers must consider the differences of each student in order to assign activities according to their learning styles, previous knowledge, etc.


Although individual differences may require more personal attention with the help from a video, or presentation, in a group, students can work together and reinforce the information given primarily by the teacher. Having access to their own technology gives students the freedom to work at their own pace and making the best out of their time and delivering results. In conclusion, technology, if available is reliable in order to keep the students closer and well informed, since in the era we are living, it is not an option to stay ignorant or misinformed, we can clear our doubts using technology to our reach to either go online and research, or as well, contact the teacher directly through a call or a message.
