WEEK 5 - Awareness

I realized that the tools discovered in the development of the course, will provided personal, continuous, and customized experiences through the creation of cooperative learning environments where every student is responsible for connecting and forming a community of new learners, where all contribute and collaborate.
They are a space for students to get to know one another, to access resources and materials, to share information and to participate in activities such as discussions, reflections, development, etc.
The exposition to new technologies and tools (having the opportunity to learn how they worked,) will empower the experience of our students.
The ability to participate in the use of these technologies provides us with a new understanding of the capacity of social networking to facilitate the contribution, connectivity, and collaboration among students.
We are in a middle of a radical change: Instead of measuring the ability of students to recall and reproduce, we have to focus from now on in measuring what and how students integrate and use the information they acquired to produce communication. 
By assessing students, we have evidence about how students approach, process and complete real life tasks.
