Netiqueta

Netiqueta

La primera vez que leí esta palabra, no conseguía deducir su significado por el contexto.  En realidad, esta palabra no necesita contexto, porque surge de la fusión de dos términos: "Net" : red (Internet, redes sociales)  y "etiquette": buen comportamiento, buena educación cuando nos relacionamos con otras personas.   Pero yo no supe ver su etimología de primeras, así que tuve que recurrir al buscador de Internet para averiguarlo en la gran Wikipedia y, me gustó tanto lo que averigüé que sentí la necesidad de compartirlo con otros. Me pareció que sería necesario que todo el mundo tuviese en cuenta estas reglas fundamentales de comportamiento digital.

Netiqueta es un término que refiere al uso de buenas prácticas en Internet, a tener educación cuando utilizamos las redes sociales, a no aprovecharse de los esfuerzos de otros y a ser conscientes de que cuando nos conectamos, es como si estuviésemos reunidos en un sitio con muchas otras personas.  Pensemos que esa sensación de seguridad que nos da vernos a solas con nuestro equipo informático es falsa.  Estamos conectados con otras personas, comunicando nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos para que otros lo lean y, en ese punto, debemos evitar ser maleducados, porque no nos gustaría que fuesen así con nosotros, ¿verdad?.  Así que, seamos prudentes y procuremos comportarnos en las redes sociales de la misma manera que lo haríamos en una reunión con otras personas: ¡no conviene decir nada que no diríamos en público...!

                        
                                      

La Wikipedia en http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiqueta  nos ofrece una definición de Netiqueta:

Netiquette (término inglés) se utiliza para referirse al conjunto de normas de comportamiento general en Internet. La netiqueta no es más que una adaptación de las reglas de etiqueta del mundo real a las tecnologías y el ambiente virtual. Aunque normalmente las tendencias de etiqueta han evolucionado hasta llegar a formar incluso parte de las reglas de ciertos sistemas, es bastante común que las reglas de etiqueta se basen en un sistema de “honor”; es decir, que el infractor no recibe siquiera una reprimenda.

De la misma manera que existe un protocolo para los encuentros físicos con personas, la así llamada netiquette describe un protocolo que se debe utilizar al hacer "contacto" electrónico.

                                    

10 Reglas básicas de la Netiqueta

• Regla 1: Nunca olvide que la persona que lee el mensaje es otro ser humano con sentimientos que pueden ser lastimados.

• Regla 2: Adhiérase a los mismos estándares de comportamiento en línea que usted sigue en la vida real.

• Regla 3: Escribir todo en mayúsculas se considera como gritar y además, dificulta la lectura.

• Regla 4: Respete el tiempo y el ancho de banda de otras personas.

• Regla 5: Muestre el lado bueno de sí mismo mientras se mantenga en línea.

• Regla 6: Comparta su conocimiento con la comunidad.

• Regla 7: Ayude a mantener los debates en un ambiente sano y educativo.

• Regla 8: Respete la privacidad de terceras personas, hacer un grupo contra una persona está mal.

• Regla 9: No abuse de su poder.

• Regla 10: Sea objetivo sobre temas cuyo bien primordial no afecte el general.

MY LESSON PLAN

EXPLAINING  MY LESSON PLAN ON THE MOODLE...

ICT LESSON PLAN BY DELIA CASCALES

MY PERSONAL VIEW OF ICT LEARNING/TEACHING ON A CLIL COURSE.

REFLECTING ON ICT INTO THE CLIL CLASSROOM.  MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. 

After more than three months following this course, my feelings about it are both positive and negative . However, I must say that the predominant feelings are positive ones.  The only negative aspect I have considered here has to do with the difficulties I found as a learner  to manage with new technologies at the beginning of the course.  But it quickly disappeared in a short period.  I had never had such technologies when I was coursing English Philology at the University of Alicante (at the beginning of this millennium!).  Fortunately, the tools, apps and web engines we have learned to use are not extremely complicated and they allow you to make mistakes and correct them before final outcome.  In exchange, they offer you a wide, easy path for the practise of any subject, doing it easier to provide contents (if you are a teacher) or to deliver the tasks you have to do (if you are a student).  I have played here both the roles of  student first and of  teacher later.  I found easier this second role, surely due to the fact that I had already reached knowledge enough to manage with the new technologies and,  why not, due also to the fact that, as a teacher, I decided which tools I used with my supposed students and which ones were not appropriate for them.  At the end, I reached to the conclusion that, once I had considered dos and don'ts, DOS win the race!.  I do not mind if it is a bit difficult to manage at first time because when you manage all this, you find an infinite range of possibilities to develop and the easiest way of sharing ideas and the like with your academic community.  It is constructive, flexible, enriching and, at the end, EASY to work with.  The traditional methods, based on books, sheets, pencil and pen were simpler and also adequate to teach/learn subjects, but they were more limited than the new digital methodologies.  All this is complemented with the structure of the CLIL methods, which are showing very good results in, for example, my field of expertise: TESL Teacher.  The problem with all these is that to apply new technologies in public schools, it would be necessary a great investment on the Educational budget from the Government "Ministerio de Educación".  It would be ideal to see that schools and High Schools are able to provide a  notebook, laptop, i-pad or the like to each student, so that printed books would not be further necessary...  Today they have began to use these technologies for the development of the subjects, but the ought to share digital devices with classmates at school, which makes everybody to lose a great amount of time:  changing placements, going to the computers classroom... If someday, each student has access to a digital equipment for him/herself, this would be the best way to develop ICT subjects based on CLIL.  Unfortunately, I  do not think it would happen in a short future.  Meanwhile, it seems a good idea that future teachers get trained on all this for possible future advances in this field.

RECURSOS DIGITALES Y MATERIAL EXTRA PARA COMPLETAR O REFORZAR EL APRENDIZAJE DE INGLES EN 1ºESO

EXTRA DIGITAL SOURCES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT  PEOPLE'S APPEARANCE

Videos are funny and you learn better if you enjoy what you are learning.  However, if you want to get a good mark in English, you should better be an active student than a passive one.   So, ready?  Here you have some sample videos related to people' appearances which may help you to learn how a description is made in English.  You need to take notes, writing down every work or phrase difficult for you.  Try to solve yourself the vocabulary problem whith the help of a dictionary and ask in the classroom any word or expression in case you cannot find or guess the meaning through the context.

READING COMPREHENSION.  These are two great powerpoints without any sound that you can watch to learn some new vocabulary related to people's physical description in English.  You do not need to listen:  only read the passing cards and enjoy them!  

LISTENING COMPREHENSION.  And these are other videos.  They are shorter than the previous ones but offer you to know the word's pronounciation so as you can perfectly say them out loud.

Now, try yourself!  Choice a real friend, a famous person or a fictional one and make hi/her physical description. Come on, it will be easy!

EXTRA RESOURCES FOR REINFORCEMENT OF LINGUISTIC ABILITIES.

As a way to reinforce the contents that the students see all through the introduction unit and the 1st. unit, I have considered the possibility of offering them extra material for the practice of those points which they find difficult or they simply like most.  This extra sources are showed in the form of printable worksheets, which in turn seem to me visually very appealing, so they can help students to memorize and learn English linguistic structures.  Of course, they do not need to do all of them (unless they need to! bad symptom...), only the ones they need to solve difficulties with the English language.  

Go to the web page http://www.englishwsheets.com/ and surf on it through all the contents you need or wish.  However, if you want to center on the units language, you may clic on here on the links below.  These should open the worksheets directly and will allow you to print them and to start practising.  You know, the sooner, the best!  I hope you enjoy them!
