My job this week was to choose five terms
that have helped us to a better understand of our work.
The terms that I have chosen are the
following ones:
Information and communications technology (ICT): are those technologies that allow you to transmit, process and
disseminate information instantly.
They have lots of contributions: they
allow an easy access to a vast source of information; they have a high storage
capacity, automation of work…
And they also have lots of advantages:
potentially enhance the quality of life of individuals, they cause the
emergence of new professions and markets and also less trees need to be cut
down to make paper, and more forests can be saved.
Mind
Maps: We have come to the conclusion that a
mind maps it’s an attractive, intuitive and creative way to express, organize
and present ideas.
We can make mind maps by hand or using
computer programs, made for it.
Mind maps have a lot of advantages, apart
the obvious advantages of saving space and time and enjoyment that can provide
the process of making them. It also stimulates creativity and memorization.
Mind mapping has lots of applications
like in autocatalysis, making decisions solving conflicts, language learning…
It has also application in health like
helping people with dyslexia, like we can see in one research made by Georgina
Kenyon where it says that "Dyslexics have to devise a new strategy to wire
that circuit board completely. And mind mapping can assist dyslexics as it can
consist solely of images."
Pre-service
Teacher Education: is the education and training provided
to student teachers before they have undertaken any teaching.
The pre-service training is the formal
training received by teachers before starting to practice the profession, while
in-service training generally refers to non-formal training is carried out on
site working.
A Pre-Service Teacher is student teacher
who has not yet completed training to be a teacher. Before enrolling into any
pre-service education, most students obtain a previous degree either a general
or honours in a subject of their choice.
In-Service
Teacher Training: Teacher training is conceived as a
continuous process, intentional and systematic because it integrates and
coordinates all elements that interact interdependently.
The directionality of this process points
to the teacher as the centre of action in three dimensions of development:
personal, social and professional dimension.
It is intended that the shares of
continuous training to strengthen the construction of their identity and their
leadership and professional education, to commit yourself, your school
community in which he works and the country, through a responsible and ethical behaviour
in the classroom, the school and the community.
Open
educational resources (OER): Open educational
resources are the resources that are available for free and that can be used
for teaching, learning, or research. It includes textbooks, reading books,
games and other learning aplications; and basically any other material that can
be used for educational purposes.
Open educational resources refer to
electronic resources and such materials that are generally released under a
free license that supports an open use of the content. It involves all the
educational resources that people share for free.
The promotion of open educational
resources is mainly motivated by the will to stop the modification of
knowledge.
