Espacio para la Práctica Docente I
Web Page creation

Objectives:

The project is about creating a web page our students can consult and where they can find all the information they need before and while doing their practicum.
The web page gives academic support, suggests links to resource pages, and provides the administrative information they might need. Also, it has links to the Students practicum journals, which the students are asked to write after each lesson. In addition they can see the teachers’ comments and feedback.

Beneficiaries:

· Students doing their practicum.
· Teachers working at ISLI
· Other Students either at ISLI or other Colleges
· Teachers in general.
· Other people interested in the WEB page

Contents of the WEB page:

1) Official Subject Syllabus (In Spanish)
2) List of Students and their Background
3) Lesson Plan outline
4) Rules and Regulations for Student Teachers
5) Schools involved in the Project
6) Self assessment and Evaluation
7) Observation Guide
8) Material available at our Library
9) Teaching Resources
10) Useful Websites

Advantages:

The web pages encourage the use of technology and the possibility of learning autonomously. In this case, this web page aids students in their practicum and fosters reflection upon their own and their classmates’ practice. It creates ground for classroom discussion and doing-in-action.

Moreover, the use of blogs allows the teacher to see what the students are feeling about their school placement experiences and gives the chance to anticipate or tackle problems in the class.

As students are “encouraged” to use the web page on a regular basis, they will get used to use technological recourses in the EFL classroom. Technology literacy is very important and this project aims at catering for it.

On the teachers’ part, it enables interdisciplinary work (i.e with other teachers in the institution)
