Web-sites of my area


As I mentioned in the first publication that I did in this blog, my area of study is the education, which centers in the education - learning process for children. Therefore, I have chosen two web-sites that are related to this, they are very useful for the persons that have an interest in the area.
The first web-site is, and I chose it [ http://www.education.com/ ], because it is a good tool for the teachers and students that look for help in Internet. This page offers information about of the different educational stages of the persons, of the psychological processes, and how they must be approached to achieve learnings. Also I liked that in this page there appear different articles and investigations that serve to learn different related topics.

The second web - site that I chose is [http://www.edweek.org/ew/index.html ], because this is full of research and information of any person interested in the topic of education wanted to have. Besides the information is published weekly what gives more value to the page.

AMAPOLA GRACE,
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WTIH A BIT MORE OF FOCUS WHEN FULFILING THIS TASKS YOUR WRITING WOULD BE MUCH BETTER, BECAUSE IT IS VERY MUCH INCONSISTANT AT TIMES. I HAVE ALSO CORRECTE THE SAME MISTAKE MORE THAN ONCE!!
Construction of Environments of Learning

Construction of environments of learning is a new way of the process education - learning and ITS MOST IMPORTANT characteristics are that: the child is the center of the learning, the teacher is a mediator of the learning, and the work with environments favorS IT.

I have learned very much on this topic, for example that the child must be the MAIN CHARACTER in the process, HE must construct the learning for himself. IN This way the child develops CRITICAL THINKING, UNDERSTANDING of the facts, and HE formulates and solves problems following his own ways. He obtains significant learning SO THAT in the future he IS able to apply IT in different contexts.



The teacher IS an associate in the learning, HE does not direct the activities, he is a guide , leaving the child to be motivated as his own interest.
The environment adapts according to the LEVELS of learning, using material and psychological resources that are related ACCORDING TOactivity. The materials must be within THE reach of the children, the room must be wide, in where they can move freely, USE the floor to sit down in pillows when they want to do it. The teacher must motivate the pupils to CARRY OUT the activities, asking if they are interested in a topic, which they it would like to know on this, and of that way would approach it.
I would like to know ABOUT the practice, schools were this educational system is RUN, that obviously, is very different from the traditional system.
Also I would like to know more technical things ABOUT this topic, as activities and didactic materials .
I'm interested in this topic because it is a different alternative of seeing the education - learning, and can be a way of giving quality to our educational system, which has a very low level.
