Collaboration in my sub group - A hard mission

Well, I think that collaborate to accomplish this activity have been a hard work, first I started late to do my Muvenation home work, my tutor said me "Raúl what happens to you, does you have problems?" After that message I started to work almost everydays but perhaps a little bit late.

I have conected with only one participant in my subgroup and it has been a hard work for us to stay at the same time in SL and after that my colleague Dolors had to make the activity by herself, and me by myself, but without collaborate.

I could not contact with the others participants of my group, only with one person, and perhaps that is the reason of this trouble.

My discovered educational places - SPOLAND

My avatar

For me change my avatar it is a little dificult because you can easily change and improve it, perhaps for me it is a endless history, I think that I will have more work with my avatar, trying to make it as best as possible,

Now, with the latest changes, I am like a punk avatar, and of course I think that my appearance now perhaps will affect my interactions with others in SL, now my appearance is a little bit aggressive (with my new hair) and it is possible that it will affect to my relations in SL, but if it is a problem, it is easy change it.

The story of my first steps in Second Life

Well, in my first steps in Seconlife I bechome crazy looking for the "board" in activity 3, looking for it I meet Bonbon Braveheart my first friend in this virtual world, Bonbon shown me how to take pictures, how to drive a sl car, how to chat, a lot of things, that was in my first day in Seconlife.

The second day was incredible, I could discover that there is a muvenation participant(Samu) that follows my blog www.tecnotic.com, (he thinks that tecnoTIC is a very important blog in Spain), I taken some pictures to post in my blog, he was my firts virtual fan.

Internet a big collaborative community

Yes my friend, we all learn form each other. I haven´t had not too many colaboratives experiences online. I have been working for instance with twenty teachers with the same Google Docs document online or I have ellaborated a document using a wiki with others colleages. When I have a problem with my blog and I can solve it, I try search information about that problem in Internet, in web pages, in forums, and almost allways I can find the answer to my problem, I learn from Internet, allways somebody has an answer for you, to help you. Perhaps Internet is a big collaborative community where you can learn from others, where people share their knowledge for free, where you can help to other users...

Electronic whiteboard, a great resource

For me the best teaching tool is the electronic whiteboard, I have been using it since five years ago. That tool gives to the classroom another dimension, we have a big window to show a technical process with a flash animation, how a hard disk work (for instance) with a Youtube video, pictures, games, we have everythings at a click.
I can leave others tools but electronic whiteboard is a fix resource at my classroom.

I feel a little bit pioneer, but only a little

Do you see yourself as a pioneer? Do you think you are more innovative than others in your organisation? Do you think your organisation is lagging behind? Tell us how you feel about this?.

Yes, I feel that I am a little bit pioneer in my job and yes, perhaps I am more innovative thant other spanish teachers, I love technology, I love web 2.0, I love electronic whiteboards, now my job contributes to develop my imagination, I can use that resource and the other, I feel like a nouvelle cuisine cook, we have now a lot of possibilities to engage our students using ICT.

I think that almost all teachers in Spain thinks that ICT is becoming more and more important today, they are a lot of teachers that have started integrating ICT into education several years ago, but I think that they are still a great number of teachers that feel very comfortable with they blackboards, and they will not change never.

Education autorities have been working hard in ICT integration, they have launched several projects focused to introduce new technologies in the classroom.
