2. Gabriela Bessolo: I’m enjoying the seminar. I like what we have learnt and I plan on
using it with my students soon (there’ll be some Slides presentations coming up before
the end of May, jejeje). I think working with images is really interesting and very useful
as well. As I read what some of my classmates wrote, I want to add that, as Eugenia, I
took up the seminar because I’m interested in what I can learn from it and not because it
was the only one available.
3. Lis Aguiar: La verdad es que me siento muy cómoda aprendiendo a usar nuevas
herramientas online. Me divierte ser curiosa y he encontrado muy útil todo lo aprendido
hasta ahora. Estoy ansiosa de poder aplicar dichas herramientas con mis (futuros)
alumnos y así poder motivar sus ganas de aprender =) Al trabajar y estudiar también
fotografía, el hecho de que sea todo tan visual es sumamente emocionante para mi.
También debo decir que se ha formado un lindo y agradable ambiente de
compañerismo y colaboración, tanto con mis compañeros como con la profesora.
4. Nicolás Miró: My conclusions as regards the seminar are quite positive. I've learnt to
use different technologies that appeared as completely new for me. Besides, these tools
are very useful for our teaching contexts. I'm eager to continue learning about
technologies, tools and also ways of applying them.
5. Alexandra Fuentes: I think this has been very useful and interesting. I have learned to
use different online tools which can be helpful for me as a future teacher and which can
be very motivating for students. However, there have been some opportunities in which I
didn’t understand the tasks we were supposed to do. For example, the webquest activity
wasn’t very clear and so we had to ask many times what to do and change our work in
several occasions.
6. Gisela Nacini. I think that until now this seminar is being very helpful and useful for me.
I am learning to use many interesting tools and resources that I had no idea about.
Moreover, I can now make of use of Google Drive and thus work collaboratively with my
classmates and in the future with students. I believe that it is crucial to learn about
technology and how to apply it appropriately in a learning environment because of the
role that technology plays in our lives. I hope to be able to use what I am learning to
create motivating and interesting classes.
7. Víctor Camargo (Animal’s Webquest):
I have learned and have enjoyed what I have learned about resources I did not know
about, such as these websites with great pictures or websites to create presentations,
and webquests; and I have taken advantage of my knowledge of Google Drive to work
collaboratively. I have been using Google Drive for a couple of years now.
3. Sadly, my state of absent-mindedness has not allowed to spend enough time working
with this seminar. Perhaps I can improve that in the time we have left.
8. Gianna Di Dino: Las clases que mas disfruto son en las que trabajamos con Google
Drive o exporando y conociendo paginas en internet. Me gusta mucho aprender sobre
internet porque es una herramienta que uso mucho, pero admito que nunca me pongo a
investigas paginas, por eso me agrada mucho las sugerencias que recibimos en el
seminario. Como negativo, puedo decir que a veces no me quedan muy claras las
consignas o el propocito de algunas actividades. Creo que tiene que ver porque
aprendo haciendo y tal vez no le encuentro el fin a ver un video o leer un texto, pero si
siento que aprendo usando una pagina o escribiendo colaborativamente
9. Fiorella Fernández (Animal’s Webquest) In this first month I have learned for example
how to use Google Drive, this is a great application because we can work all together in
the same document, edit and share our work. It is very useful not only for this course,
but for all the other subjects. I hope I can learn more about technology and about all the
different resources and applications we can have access to nowadays. All of them are
really useful and practical for our studies and mainly for our future career.
10. Paola Urbizu (Animal’s Webquest)
In my opinion, it is great to use Google Drive and to create collaborative works. It is very
useful to use and to know different tools, such as the ones offered by Google Drive or
the ones which focus on visual aspects (like “slides”, “picadilo”, etc). I expect to learn
more about these and other tools, and to improve my use of technology. I love the idea
of using these tools to create works that allow for reflection. For example, by making a
webquest our group could reflect upon animals’ rights, whereas another group focused
on different classrooms around the world.
11.Aye Schneider Morales (Animal’s Webquest): In my opinion, the seminar so far has
been very useful to me since I have discovered lots of new pages and resources I did
not know and that will be very useful for teaching. I am enjoying a lot this seminar since
learning about new sites, how to use them freely, and watching very touching videos are
all very enjoyable activities. I have even learned new things about tools that I already
knew, for example Google Docs, since by using it so many times I discovered a lot of
features unknown to me but very useful. Also, the atmosphere in the class is very nice
and relaxed since everyone works together and we have several discussions on our
opinions and groupwork.
12. Natasha Barrau. I feel great about the things that I have learnt, as I sometimes have
some problems using technology, and now with all these tools and websites I am getting
started and it feels awesome because now I know that it’s not that difficult and that I can
do it.

4. 14. Eugenia Brandi. Debo reconocer que la primera clase me sentía muy perdida. Pero
conforme fueron pasando los días y gracias a los tips y consejos que recibí en clases,
esta sensación fue cambiando. Ahora me siento mucho más confiada y más segura de
empezar a utilizar este tipo de herramientas. Nunca había trabajado de manera
colaborativa en internet y me pareció una de las herramientas más útiles ya que no
necesite estar físicamente presente con mis compañeras para poder realizar un trabajo
en conjunto. También quisiera agregar que no me inscribi en este seminario porque “no
había otro” sino porque reconozco que no soy una buena “amiga de la tecnología” y
debo cambiar esta actitud. Hasta el día de hoy (y espero que así sea hasta el día de
finalizar el seminario) no ha pasado una clase sin que me lleve algún consejo nuevo o
algo interesante aprendido. Además, las clases son muy dinámicas y se ha formado un
agradable ambiente de trabajo en el aula entre los alumnos y con la profe también.
