Personal Reflections

Carolina's reflection:

In my opinion I see online teaching as a continuous learning process for all, both students and teachers.  We are constantly looking for tools and strategies to teach virtually and effectively. In general, online teaching is a rewarding experience. This helps and encourages us to become more ingenious and creative teachers. While the challenges are real, the opportunities to engage and enrich student learning are immense.

Victor's reflection:

I was thinking that virtual English classes should prioritize clarity in objectives, and also use and embrace technological tools for interactive learning, and adapt to students. Dynamic, engaging classes contribute to a positive educational experience.

Lindsay's reflection:

I think that for online learning, we must take into account that it is very important to keep students entertained in such a way that they pay attention, and even more so if what they are learning is a second language. A good option for students to keep them active is to involve them as much as possible. as much as we can in the class, whether in activities such as games, dynamics, or worksheets on the topic we are dealing with, thus creating a fun environment where they feel comfortable learning.

Jeimi's reflection:

In my opinion, I believe that these topics are very important and something basic that we will teach when we are teachers. The lessons plan will be something that will always accompany us, being able to develop correct activities in accordance with virtuality is something that as a teacher helps us, I think this blog helped us a lot to have another perspective of what we should do and what we can take of each lesson plan.

Jenny's reflection:

Nowadays online classes are crutial for everybody because in that case everybody can have access to classes does not matter if the class is in United Kingdom or in Tegucigalpa. But we must take into consideration than when we are teaching online there are a lot of disadvantages too, for example the internet, distractions, some people get bored easily so here we may use like gamification to catch the attention of the students, because we are playing but also learning. Wrapping up online teaching gives almost everyone the opportunity to study but we must study the environment and behavior of the students to catch their attention.

Conclusions

In conclusion, we can say that adapting what we know as a lesson plan to virtual reality helps us future teachers, this work helped us see activities to develop the topics with children and also make it fun in the virtual world.

And as a final conclusion, we are happy to have worked on this blog, to collaborate and work as a team and to be able to develop and plan classes suitable for children and to be developed in virtual mode. We hope it is very helpful to those who read this blog and that the activities develop in the best way.
