Technologies have changed learning

Along this week we've seen several things. One is that technologies can help enhance aural/oral skills. In that sense, I feel that technologies can help enhance all aspects of life, including learning, including all foreign language skills. There are many sites other students in the course have recommended that are useful and interesting.

For the Spanish language speakers, teaching foreign language, let me recommend you the site of a good friend, full on well organized links: http://www.isabelperez.com

But what do we do with all this sites, how do we organized them? There comes Delicious, Diigo and other bookmarking tools. I've been using Delicious at my job, but for personal use I still trust Mr. Google to quickly fin the needed url. Maybe I'll change that with time.

Another thing we've done this week is reading the project plan report of a previous student of this course. I chose one by a teacher trainer from South Africa. Learning about their program has been an interesting experience.

One conclusion for this week is that technologies, in general, have changed society, and consequently learning. I'm engaged in a course organised by a University at Oregon with peer students from all around the world talking about common issues. It is marvellous to attend this course with people from four continents.
