Aprendiendo a Distancia

Yes, I too can remember when there wasn't an Internet. Is there an application that's not yet been produced. What next will we all wonder how we did without ?

La humanidad en bloque ha optado por la gran Red y de ésta, por las redes sociales... ¡Larga vida a la web!

The rise & rise of web usage is one of the most unifying & reformative development to have impacted on a global scale. An insightful info-graphic that offers a unique purview from the inception days of internet to the latest trend of app usage estimating an annual revenue of $24 billion.

Psychology incorporates all of these "things": You should be in the classroom when Freud's 5 psychosexual stages are put forward (humour, lively environment and wonder!).

Start the class with pop music which links to the topic (understanding their world). 

At the first lesson when I have asked students to write on the board what they want from the lessons (the only one of the above they have ever written down was humour). When I asked them to give me examples of what they meant, they could not. When I explained that they needed to tell me what they meant by "fun classes", as I was I trained to teach and tutor, not to make jokes, they were unable to tell me.

When I conducted conformity research by having a group of students walking down the corridor dancing to music played over the intercom to see whether other students would conform by joining in, I demonstrated what they meant by fun. 

I have learnt from more enlightened others that a Tutor / Educator guides by pointing out where to find the relevant information plus discussion questions which allows learners to share information, analyse and evaluate during class. After more questions which stimulate arguments, the learners are given a question to answer. 

Some wonderful questions that I look forward to answering.
