My conclusions after the brainstorming

After a careful reading of differnet entries and thinking about my teaching practice I have come across some aspects that I would like to highligth.

Regarding those needs or areas of improvement and learning I have detected in my teaching I can say that one of the main points is in incorporating ICT in my practice. Not only for me as a teacher but in the use my students do of technology. I should try to foster the use of devices among my students, introducing them into the use of apps that may facilitate their autonomy and creativity in the English class. Sometimes we take for granted that our students are not ready to use devices, specially when they are young children. Therefore, we donot give them the chance to try. I think that I should try and take the risk to try and if it doesnot work them I may take a decission but not beforehand.

Other aspect that I have left aside is the importance of giving real situation to use English. We do use it as a means of communication within the English class but I should go one step forward an give them the chance to communicate with other children outside our school. I have already done it before but for me it has not been easy to find other teachers who are really willing to continue communication. I donot aim at creating a "big superfantastic outstanding project" but a simple one that really works and adapts to my children. 

I have already been on Etwinning before but after making many contacts there have not always been the success I expected to. So getting across good partners to develop these simple and effective project would be one of the main goals that would make this course effort worth.

Among all the information available I have found this ALL ABOUT US PROJECT is really awasome.  I think that it can really help me

It is very descriptive and really gathers a set of aspects that have been worked on along a fixed period of time. It includes collaboration among different countries and shows how students have been able to work together to build something. I aim at being able to carry out something similar.
