Before the Presentations

we had a short talk by
the Headmistress of the
school, Fr Roswitha
Schn .

Objectives: Show the different channels this teacher uses to let students know about Computer
Components and devices , and their functions .

Know the basic elements of a computer, devices, components and connections, as a whole.
Hardware and software as a binary code.
Description:
The Spanish presentation was explained and strongly supported by a video created from
different recordings of several lessons made in the weeks previous to the meeting.
Through the teachers speech students were introduced to the different components of a
computer, but, at the same time, they were given a real computer disassambled, so that
they could have in their hands most of the devices mentioned.

During the lessons several videos were played to the students, on the topic, and they had
the chance to assemble the different pieces and parts and be taugh to make them work,
shapes, parameters to be measured needed, etc.
In Davids lessons, he somehow plays a s a monitor for students, someone who invites you
to discover and improve your personal abilities and skills, competences and capabilities, not
as a leader but as a helping hand. Students progress and come to domain every singles point
they have been told to face and deal with. Therefore, there will be some items which will be
milestones leading the students to achieve the desired objectives.
This teacher uses many of
different ways of communicating
with students, and keeps
communication with them alive,
permanent and fluent, using mail,
hangouts, etc, as well as he uses a
board in his lessons.
As the presentation finished, we discussed on it and possibilities for improvement, and
most of us agreed that creating and maintaining that sort of communication with students
and ambiance in the classrooms, certainly improve the effectiveness of the teaching and
learning procedures.
Obviously everything was dealt with in
English, as the Technology lessons are
in our school.

During the stay, the students made more than friends and, obviously there was a time for
tourism, too.
