More and more, Google Drive has become part of my daily life; when I organize my thoughts, when I write alone or collaboratively, when I create activities...Read More

This course is interactive. Really?

20 de setembro de 2014

E-learning courses are commonly called interactive courses. Many of these courses host presentations and articles online, assign weekly tasks to participants, organize webinars and chats,  but are they really interactive? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I’d like to focus on the second definition “requiriring people to talk with each other or do things together”. This...Read More

More than content, we want to make connections

In these last years, while writing my M.A. thesis, I’ve come to recognize the power of learning through stories.

22 de junho de 2014
by Ana Maria Menezes
Why do we make lists? Jillian Steinhauer  in a 2012 blog post  says “We are a society of listers.” In other words, we could all be called “glazomaniacs” according to Dictionary.com which defines “glazomania” as a passion for list-making. We seem to enjoy lists: to-do lists, grocery lists, best-sellers lists, new year resolution lists and...Read More

HOW can technology become invisible?

22 de maio de 2014
by Ana Maria Menezes
In a previous post, I discussed about the importance of technology invisibility in the classroom. According to Lehman (2010), technology should be : Ubiquitous = available all the time. Necessary = used when necessary. Invisible = a natural procedure. Another author who thinks likewise is Bax (2011). The author coined the term “normalisation” to address...Read More
