months ago there was a controversy about MSN Spaces the way I got news for ConTexto , in particular through these articles: Defending Blogger identity, why? and "MSN Spaces: the scourge of bloggers," blogosphere "class? .
Reading these texts and others who sent me wonder if teachers do not we were wrong to dismiss as a teaching resource system free most popular blogs and more accessible for young people. And I thought I should explore to see what possibilities offered. But could not find the time.
Suddenly, today I decided to open up an account at Live Spaces, I created a blog , I examined what to do with him and I decided to teach my students Compensatory Education (2 º ESO) to do the same in the hour of tutoring.
And why? Because it needs to be placed in an area more recognizable to them. A place where you do not feel at all strange. Everything we do at school is strange to them, everything is too alien. So, if all that is familiar on the Internet is Messenger, why not go to the country to create in him the media is likely to find more comfortable than any other over like schmo your teacher? And this need
was all the more pressing as class relations are not too fluid, for his attitude to academic work and our inexperience with students in this profile.
The meeting was very tired to me, very positive, because they have attracted much attention to the proposal and have sought my help with real interest. In addition, two students already had their Spaces, which I have helped their peers.
was what I needed: to have, finally, a session in which students were interested in learning and in which enlists the help of who could help them learn.
Now the question is: what content to give our Live Spaces to serve us as a means of expression and communication in the tutoring? What we will discover.
