Cecilia and Valeria could express through the video, what those students wanted to show in terms of creating something original and shocking because of the message that was in it. That is really important to have in mind because sometimes, teachers believe they know exactly what students think, and they also believe that all students know how to use technology in terms of learning. Nevertheless they do not realize that this is the problem. Students are using technology, but this tool has not been useful for all of them. What I liked about the presentation was the way our partners tried to encourage us in relation to the use of technology at the classroom in a way in which students are not just having fun, but learning and acquiring knowledge in an enjoyable and appropriate way thinking about the age they are living in.
Besides, I also liked that Cecilia and Valeria where thinking about the different circumstances in which technology can be and is being applied. For example it is not just about applying it, we -teachers- have to consider the school, the students and the context in general since through these topics, we can find lots of complications or obstacles to teach children using technology. It is important to know that some teachers, although they want to incorporate the use of technology, they are not prepared to do that because they do not know how to do it.
Accordingly, the thing now is to integrate new materials and make professors learn about all this new information or technology that is being used in order to encourage them to learn instead of making them giving up and continuing using the same methodologies that they used years before. Teachers have to think about improving education, and this won’t be possible if they do not consider the use of technology at the classroom.
