SCREENSHOTS AND SCREENCAST

SCREENSHOT: It is a an image taken by the computer to record the visible items displayed on the monitor, television, or another visual output device.

You can record the whole screen or part of it.

The image is converted and saaved to an image file such as JP(E)G o PNG format.

SCREENCAST: It is a digital recording of a computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.

The term screencast compared with the related term screenshot.

Whereas screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen; enhanced with audio narration.

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM

The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. Short video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions. 

The notion of a flipped classroom draws on such concepts as active learning, student engagement, hybrid course design, and course podcasting.

There is no single model for the flipped classroom the term is widely used to describe almost any class structure that provides rerecorded lectures followed by in-class exercises. In one common model, students might view multiple lectures of five to seven minutes each. Online quizzes or activities can be interspersed to test what students have learned.
A growing number of higher education individual faculty have begun using the flipped model in their courses.

CALL

COMPUTER ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (CALL)

• Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) was defined by Levy as “the search for andstudy of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning”.
• CALL embraces a wide range of applications and approaches to teaching and learning foreign languages.
• From the Audio-lingual method (drill-based exercises), to most recent distance learning.
  
  It also extends to the use of interactive whiteboards, computer-mediated communication (CMC), language learning in virtual words, and mobile-assisted language (MALL).
  
  
  
  

EVOLUCIÓN DE LA EDUCACIÓN

El acelerado avance científico y tecnológico indudablemente toca el ámbito 

educativo y lo ha obligado a asumir nuevos retos para lograr elevar el nivel 

educativo de la población. La incorporación de la tecnología y comunicación a 

la educación proporcionan un gran potencial para fortalecer y transformar 

aspectos en el quehacer educativo. La incorporación de recursos didácticos 

con tecnología a la práctica docente permite incrementar las herramientas y 

servicios habituales que al ser aplicados en el aula da un giro a las clases 

tradicionales. 

Lo significativo de esto es no perder de vista que el uso de dichas herramientas 

fomenta un ambiente de exploración en clase y en el que el papel que 

docentes y alumnos asuman dentro del aula será siempre activo, de tal forma 

que su uso dará a la clase un sentido experimental e inductivo. 

El uso de la tecnología en educación representa un campo ilimitado de 

exploración; des-afortunadamente es en este campo es donde menos se utiliza . 

La computadora no solamente se puede percibir como un recurso 

administrativo que almacena y organiza datos; es en el campo de la educación 

en donde la Internet cobra su mayor potencial.

SOFTWARE

SOFTWARE

FOSS / Proprietary software.

The term open source refers to software whose source code — the medium in which programmers create and modify software — is freely available on the Internet; by contrast, the source code for proprietary commercial software is usually a closely guarded secret.

The most well-known example of open source software is the Linux operating system, but there are open source software products available for every conceivable purpose.

Open source software is distributed under a variety of licensing terms, but almost all have two things in common: the software can be used without paying a license fee, and anyone can modify the software to add capabilities not envisaged by its originators.

ICTs IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

The use of ICT involves introducing new strategies and resources and can influence and even determine some aspects of the work in the classroom, the methodology, the type of grouping, and resource management, physical spaces and weather. Therefore, the educational use of ICT affects the traditional role assumed by teachers and can contribute to the search of new models and enriching education.

This course, eminently practical, allows teachers of primary education wonder together on some tools and different working methods in order to improve the processes of teaching and learning in different areas of the curriculum.

Learning is considered an active and collaborative process. Therefore, we want the forum to become a real space for meeting, as we consider essential and rewarding to share with others teachers individual experiences in the classroom.

Objectives:

* To think over working methods in the classroom in relation to the use of ICT.

* Analyze and review own practice in order to incorporate new resources and methodologies to the same strategies.
