Autonomous learning and Padlet

WEEK 7

Hello everybody! 

This week we've had the chance of getting to use a wallwisher app. This is called Padlet. I reckon it's a fabolous tool, specially for the one computer classroom since favors collaborative work, sharing experiences and pulling resources together. Students would benefit greatly from incorporating this tool in the EFL classroom. First, students contribute with their own posts and once that is done, the wall can be analyzed and shared as a class.
We've been asked to contribute with at least 2 items (links, files, videos, etc) connected with the topic of autonomous learning and one computer classroom. In my case, I posted the following:

• 2 images connected with the topic Autonomous Learning,
• An ELT article "Learner autonomy" by Richard Smith
• A YouTube video on the same topic, an interview to Phil Benson.

Here's the link to the Padlet we created this week.

The second task for the week was to read some articles on Learner Autonomy / One Computer Classroom and share our ideas on Nicenet.org We examined various articles on the topic and also had access to a wide variety of material/resources on the above mentioned topic on Padlet.

Besides, I have been working really hard on my final project. I'm currently writing a first draft to be sent to one colleague. Sosthene invited me to work together and I accepted the invitation.

Best, 
Pablo.
