Web 2.0 Tools for Planning on Problem Solving

The desmotivation of the students in the English class due to the lack of incorporation of the new technologies of information and communication in the classrooms, can also be reflected in the results of the Pisa tests and the state exams, the ministry of national education in its different reports and research and according to the readings of Building Human Capital. Is Latin American education competitive? The authors Jeffrey Puryear and Tamara Ortega Goods, in their reports, reflect that in Colombia, despite the mechanisms implemented by the National Bilingual Project of the Ministry of Education 2004-2019, the results of the Pisa tests, the educational institutions in Colombia need more effective tools such as the implementation of web 2.0 tools, necessary to develop classes in a striking, understandable, motivating and participatory way to improve the quality of competitiveness, equity, science and technology, and teachers. Regarding the problem raised, which is below, one of the...

The Prezzi program is used as a bridge platform between linear and nonlinear information, and, as a presentation tool for the exchange of ideas, either free or structured, text, images, videos, and, other, media, are placed on the canvas, and can be grouped into frames. Afterwards, users designate the size, the position between all the objects in the presentation and how they will be moved creating a mental map. For linear presentation users can construct a prescribed navigation route. The final presentations can be displayed in a web browser window or embedded the presentation into other websites and blogs.   From the educational point of view, Prezzi facilitates many alternatives when explaining concepts and creating schemes to focus the student's attention through visual stimuli. We must also take into account the pedagogical use we can make of it at any age, it can help us educationally so that our students develop skills through the use of this program, such as the improv...

Harlen’s problem: A problem as English teachers is that usually we do not count with the enough didactics or technology in the classroom. However, schools usually have an English lab, but there the space or computers are not enough for all students, reason why the individual learning process is difficult in a foreign language especially. My 6 Step Planning on Problem Solving Blogs and videos would be a tool useful for my problem: If institutions directors understand that English teachers have a problem with  technology use for teaching. They will know that for reaching a good English level in their students, they need to provide all resources for their classes like audios, videos, images, etc. Taking into account, Institutions need to implement new technology in the classroom. Blogs and Videos are good tools for teachers and students because the technology age has created new strategies for learning and teaching process. For example, in a blog the user can implement...

I chose the Blog as a web 2.0 tool because it is an easy way for me to share information with thousands of readers about the main problem mentioned in my previous activity of Unit 1. You can look at the following 6 step planning process on problem solving here: To begin with, it is important to write an interesting title that catches people's attention and visitors to  encourage them to read the content. Secondly, you can add photos, videos  and links to other important websites to make the blog's presentation more striking, interesting and less boring.  The main problem consist of “Discrimination against disabled students in Colombian schools”, which affects many people and  institutions nationally and internationally, although in some countries this issue is taken more into consideration. Those that live and suffer discrimination are the ones directly involved, as well as their family members and love ones.  Taking this into consider...

Introduction In my case, my previous activity was based on the context of an international school in Belize, where I live, and as an Educational Manager or School Director,  I would need to communicate first with all the relevant parties that are going to help me brainstorm the planning process and the final proposal to other members of the international school governing body. Educational Management should use the most effective principles that some successful business apply in their administration, before they start considering or getting into a planning process, spending money, precious time and physical and human resources to solve problems.  Some times people perceive problems, either students  or teachers, but these problems may not be a real problem yet from an administrative perspective, or not be so urgent as we think according to the educative institution at a  specific moment, in comparison to all the other situations that educational management keeps ...

It was recommended by the Activity Guide to read several articles and readings before proceeding with the selection of   Web 2.0 Tool to facilitate a planning on problem solving, based on Unit 1. However, the suggested readings of Unit 2 do not connect well with the purpose and use of a Web 2.0 tool to facilitate the planning of the activity of Unit 1, because the readings of Unit 2 do not talk about the topic of Web 2. tools, and how to use them in educational management. Instead, the readings are more based on schools and universities on an international scale, and why some of them need to collaborate between them to make courses and credits acceptable in other schools and universities. The readings of UNIT 2 touch on topics about Educational Management that are more complex and broader in extension, than a simple planning process on problem solving of one local or regional school in Colombia, based on the previous individual contributions given for the Activity Guide of Unit 1...
