Finally, you could use this space like if it were a true library because it has many options as highlights, sticky notes and so on, that simplify our life.

        There is not a good result, if there is not a big effort. Therefore, we had to pay attention because the process to create a account in DIIGO http://www.diigo.com/index, but at the end, it was very interesting because we got more  knowledge about this site.

Second week of class

“Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks”.

            This week was very productive for everyone who wants to get good information from internet. We used a new tool that will help to teach English and avoid wrong information.  We visited http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html a useful web site to evaluate web pages. Besides, we had to do a deep analysis, because not all pages offer good information, and we have to have great criteria to  search information, especially if this is to teach others, but the most important was that we started to use http://educacionvirtual.uta.edu.ec/elearning/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=41595 the web site of this course. This week of class brough useful topics, and with this we learned how to avoid that is  not reliable information.
             For to support this knowledge, we reviewed http://liblearn.osu.edu/tutor/les1/pg1.html where we learned the characteristics that has a credibly web page, this web page gave us an infinity of clues to evaluate entire pages that we want. Finally, we could do comments about this page and the most important is that we did it in The Internet and Multimedia Page.
            This kind of information taught us that as teachers, we will   have a great responsibility in our hands because our students will learn all that we will provide them and it will be a big mistake if we share an information without reliable fundaments.
