Hi everybody, First I want to say that you as teacher can guide your students through certain activities but they are the ones who take the decisions about their learning, sometimes they do not like working with extra materials because they want to follow only the book. I had a problem related to this situation, it happened to me some months ago, I brought extra material for my students and one of them told me that if i am not going to use the book she was going to drop the course and I felt so bad when she told me that. For that reason for me as a Teacher it is better that you ask your students since the beginning of the course how they want to work.
What do you think?

Blackboard
Today I learned how to use a new tool, it is called "Picnik". Well this is a wonderful tool that allow us to modify pictures and you can add many images or effects, I think that is a creative tool that can be useful for many students.
Then I learned how to use the tools of blackboard, like create a discussion forum, also create a new unit and other important things.
I think that is very important that I learned how to use these tools because as future teachers we will need them in order to create a distance course that could be useful for many students.

Distance Education
Today I learned what is Distance Education, the advantage that it has and the tools that we can use in order to improve our knowledge.
For me, Distance Education is to obtain the knowledge in a different way that in the past. It means that in Distance Education the learners are not dependent from the teacher, in this type of education learners are free to learn in the speed that they want, because they can obtain the information whatever they want and also they have more tools in order to reinforce the knowledge.
The advantages that it has is that the learners don't need to go to the classroom because they learn through the technology.
In the last class we saw many of the tools that we can use for Distance Education like: WEB 2.0, Blackboard and others.
Distance Education help us as future teachers to create a distance course to these students that cannot come to the classroom and we as teachers can design many activities in order to help students to learn through internet.

La Lengua de las Mariposas
The movie that we watched called "La Lengua de las Mariposas" is a very beautiful movie because we saw the different roles that a teacher has to have when he/she is teaching. For example when you are teacher you teach to students more than educative things, you teach things that are related with real context like in the movie when the teacher talked about "GOD" because the little boy asked, so how you can do in this situation because you as teacher have to have a neutral opinion.
I think that teachers are also parents, friends, sources because you can learn many things from your teacher and teachers can learn many things fromn students.

Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources.
In a social bookmarking system, we can save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
In the process of teaching Social Bookmarking can be useful as a way to access a consolidated set of bookmarks from various computers, organize large numbers of bookmarks, and share bookmarks with contacts, so this allow students to check some activities that can be useful for them, to reinforce the knowledge.

Social Networks
A social network is a social structure made of individuals or organizations by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, financial exchange, dislike, sexual relationships, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige.
Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.
The network can also be used to measure social capital the value that an individual gets from the social network.
