Me and myself

Hello, everyone. My name's Agustín and I'm a 4th year student at UTN. Currently, I'm doing my last 7 4th-year subjects, and I hope to pass all my subjects this year (probably getting my degree will take a bit more...).  I've been teaching since I was 19 years old, so it's been a long time and a lot of jobs at a lot of different places. I've worked at places I wish I never had and some others I'd like to go back in the future. I've taught all ages, from kindergarten and 1st year to adults seeking ESP activities. 

I've been teaching online since last year, I never have before and I have to admit it took some months to get used to it, both psychologically and technically. Now, luckily, I'm teaching all my classes and courses online and I've developed some techniques to cope with that, and my students seem to like my classes, so I'm confident I'm doing a good job. 

From this subject I expect to obtain knowledge and tools that will help me enhance my online teaching and my methods to explain topics digitally. 

I guess this is me teaching online: 


Here's to a great year of learning and overcoming obstacles.
Agustín.

Because of this, both teachers and students can post, collaborating on the same wall. The Teacher being the moderator, he needs to give permission to students first. And this permission giving can be limited to some students, all of them or open to any contributor that access the post, which can be easily done by sharing the link to it.  Since the interactive space is easy to use and easily accessible from nearly any web browser-capable device, it's a great resource for teachers and students. Also, there's an available app, making the experience more immediate and enticing to young ...

Digital tools and apps Online: Kahoot , for quizzes, revision and integration. It's a tool that connects students online through a device such as a phone, and lets them see and answer the questions asked.  As a teacher, I create a set of questions to revise tenses. I give each question 4 possible options, only one is correct. I give students 15 seconds per question to choose the right answer, and once they do it, we explain why each answer is right and the others are wrong. Bookwidgets , to enhance speaking practice, collaborative learning and language skills. It's a tool that enables teachers to create lessons based on images and slides for tablets, phones or laptops. As a teacher, I create a series of three images that I project on the board or share with my students. These images range from meaningfully connected to no connection whatsoever, and they need to create a short story using those images. After that, they take turns to tell the story or act it out in case there is ...
