Traditional methodologies are still better than modern methodologies.

Traditional methodologies will never be better than modern methodologies.

Firstly I want to say that traditional methodologies have a kind or a way of learning based on memorization, so children didn’t know how to use their own skills and I think they weren´t able to overcome all the problems they had in their lives.

Nowadays, with modern methodologies, we have a life- long- learning, that means that children can develop their skills and learn about all situations in their lives.

Secondly, as I have lived traditional methodologies I can say that I have learnt lot of things but in a memoristic way, because, for example, I had to know everything (nous of the rivers) that I think I will never use in my whole life.

To conclude, I want to say I´m in favour of modern methodologies because I think children have basic knowledge and we can improve it; we can use ICT, develop their skills and change the future of Education, but…Do you think old teachers want to change their way of teaching?

Write a short email to a friend telling him or her about your plans for the future.

Dear Ana,

I haven´t spoken to you for a long time so I would like to tell you what I´m doing now and what I want to do in the future.
Nowadays I am studying Infant Education in Ibiza and I hope to pass all the subjects. I think that I can go through to the second year without any problem.
I can´t think about my future now because I am still studying, but I hope I will be a good teacher and I will help children and share all my ideas with the other colleagues.
I would like to talk to you as soon as possible so I will phone you in a few days, because I would like to visit you in London. We will be able to spend time shopping, chatting, eating or anything that you want.

Best Wishes.

Nacho.

ICT is the future of Education. Discuss

ICT is changing methodology in the classroom.

On the one hand, I think ICT can change, and in fat I think it´s changing, life at schools, because nowadays we can see how children learn with computers and have fun with them.
From the age of 5, more or less, they are in contact with ICT so children can learn Information and Communication Technologies the future of Education.

On the other hand, it could be that some children don´t know how to use ICT because it´s difficult but, for this reason, a teacher must be near them to help them when they need us.

Finally, I like ICT and I can´t see any point against it because these kind of technologies are the future of Education, but, are all schools ready for them?

Write a short email to a friend telling him or her about your first year at College.

Dear Miguel,

I’m writing this email to tell you about my first year at College.
At the beginning I thought It would be fun and I would enjoy it, but every moment, every day, it is becoming harder for several reasons.
First of all I’m tired because of all projects I have to do because I haven’t got any time to study and I don´t enjoy any of my subjects.
There are also a lot of subjects we have to do by videoconference so we don´t have any kind of contact with our professors, only when they come to Ibiza, but In fact, most of the time, we don´t do anything important.
Finally, for all these reasons, I have thought about leaving College and studying something I would enjoy more, What do you think?

Best Wishes

Nacho.
