Mid-term exam of Tic:

1) C.A.L.L: (Computer Assisted Language Learning) Embraces a wide range of

information and communications technology applications and approaches to
foreign language teaching and learning in which the computer is an aid to the
presentation and assessment of the material to be learned. Levy defines CALL as
"the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and
learning".
It is useful for people who cannot assist to face-to-face classes. It have extended to
the use of corpora and concordances, interactive whiteboards, Computermediated communication (CMC), language learning in virtual worlds, and mobileassisted language learning (MALL).

Word cloud: Is a popular visual presentation in which words are related in a

common subject and makes sense in a particular context. Often it is related to
internet keywords and text data.
For example:

Cloze test: It is a test, exercise on which a text in given with missing words (cloze
text). The participant have to realize what those words are, guide by the topic and
the context of the paragraph. This is also necessary the ability to understand
vocabulary belonging to the empty passages of the sentence. Habitually, it is found
in native and second assessment of language learning.
For example: A teacher had given to her students a task.
Today, I went to the ________ and bought some milk and eggs. I knew it was
going to rain, but I forgot to take my ________, and ended up getting wet on the
way.

To digitize: Is the action to

convert (analogous physical measurements) information, image, data, video and
text from analog to digital form. Actually computers replaces large amount a paper
data into digital devices. It makes easy to conserve for many time invaluable
information.
For example, you can transform an ancient paper using a scanner.

To google: (Transitive verb) it is a neologism born many years ago, arising from
the dominance and popularity of this page. You can search something or
somebody using the Google search engine to obtain information on the World
Wide Web.

2)_ 1) This survey wants to measure how much we know about computers and
software. So how expert we are using those programs and tools. It is necessary to
answer questions related to technology.
2) Yes, there is a reference with digital native; all the tools mentioned refers to the
basic most using tools nowadays, it also about how we use old programs like MS
Word that it is an old version of Microsoft Word and the situation in which we have
to save files interacting from the older and the latest version. And other questions
related to how to use tools and programs. That if you are a digital native you know

3)_a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXyCECMxhOs
b. Innovation in education;
_different ways of using technology;
_adaptations and facilities that provide certain technologies;
_how the classroom has changed from simple uses of technology up computers.
c. As Ian Peter says, there is no a point of origin. Internet has been worked by
many people and if we try to locate who, where and how internet was originated;
we would have taken the wrong way to understand those technologies involved in

education. So, education and internet have different origins, even nowadays we
are trying to improve and make it easy to use.
d. The histories were located to Internet with invent of the first computer in early
1976 with Web 2.0 and mobile learning on 2000 up to nowadays.

4)_ A. When we talk about web 2.0, we are referring to a million of users that
interact and share information into the World Wide Web, this is the evolution of the
web or the internet in which the users can interact actively and collaborate between
them. The users are no longer passives to become active members who
participate to the content of the network generated in a virtual community, being
able to support and be part of a company reporting, communicating and generating
knowledge.
They allow content to be shared, afford the possibility of curating that content and it
offer the opportunity to give a feedback, in different guises.
B. The expression internet 2.0 is not used nowadays, because we are referring to
the internet as a global network connecting millions of computers. So it has not
changed as the web did.
C. They cannot be interchangeable because, internet is a global connection
between networks connected by millions of computers. On the other hand, the
World Wide Web is a system of the internet servers that support specially
formatted documents called HTML; that is why, not all internet servers are part of
the World Wide Web.
D. I usually use World Wide Web. Although internet is the connection between
computers and we are using obviously these things together, because neither the
internet can be used without web patterns nor the web without internet connection.
E. I use it to download files, music, videos and documents that is online in the web,
also to send e-mails and to receive feedbacks of teachers. Of course, I use it to
check my Facebook, Instagram and other accounts nowadays.
F. I think that the interaction between users in the internet has changed and
developed our ability to interchange information and data. No limits to find out
information nowadays have renovated the possibility in education. Students have
changed lots of encyclopedias, books and dictionaries and save time to organize
more properly their time. It has changed a lot our way to understand things,
applications and pdf files improved time and saved space in our bookshelves.

Taking classes face-to-face are no longer compulsory for those people who work
and study at the same time. So, limits are being weak into a world with many
possibilities to improve our life.
G. We use the internet to connect our devices and we can be communicated, it is
the connection between two or more computer, while we are able to receive and
send documents using HTTP script in web, also to give feedback. That is, we are
using both, because one depends on the other to work properly. You can use the
web to see a page, and to charge other page you use internet.

5)_ a. I choose philosophy advanced course, because I think that have lot of
content to discuss.
b. Well, I imagine a course whose students have to attend semi presential
classes. One, in which they assist to a normal classroom for 3 hours (one day of
the week) and try to take notes as much as possible; so the teacher gives them
copies and books to study for the next week. On the other hand, virtual classes are
not compulsory to take; all of them make exercises and follow tasks given both
virtually or presentially. Each virtual class doesnt take more than 2 hours a day, so
it is easy to attend.
A course is formed for 10 students, and they use constantly a campus virtual. This
platform facilitates the interaction between them. They can contact each other in
any time they could. All philosophy books are in a file that they can download by
Utorrent, like syllabus, time tables and tasks. When the teacher gives them a work
to do, they check their notifications on his e-mail account or facebook.
It is necessary to use internet and of course a virtual campus, to give them files
with books and tasks. To online classes is essential to use a source like Wizql, for
online classes and to interact with each other.
In the campus, they can send messages, make consult and download files. In
Wizql, they can use it to see videos, make a video call. Also is compulsory the use
of a mail account.
An important tool necessary is Google blogger; which is a free Google tool
students, teachers and parents can use to share information and pictures online to
facilitate our knowledge. Students and teachers can share classwork, notes and
journals. Teachers can communicate with parents. Blogger can be used for
extracurricular course to share a group calendar and keep everyone in the know
about coming events. It can be access in https://www.blogger.com/home?pli=1

Printable crossword marker, a tool which teachers can make printable crossword
puzzles for their classes. Students are able to guess words from hints as a great
way to help them remember vocabulary in, specially this subject area. It is the most
creative way to learn historical names, which could be difficult to assimilate. Finally,
they can interact more comfortable with this, because it it can be access in

Moreover Capzel, which can be used to create classroom projects and lessons, is
likely to be applied in this subject, to make presentations that would replace oral
exams in face-to-face classes. It also would assimilate the content given before.
Capzel can be used with videos, photos, music, blogs and documents. It is also
useful as a timeline tool, so students have to be self-responsible. Finally, they
would manage their own time, since they can share their whole presentation
online. It can be accessed in http://www.capzles.com/
Dushare, which can be used to share files, is likely to use in this subject because
the students can share files and documents that are imprescindible in this subject.
It is useful to give them the necessary pdf, and to study at home. Finally, students
can receive all types of material, in addition they give feedback and answers of
mid-term exams and practical works. Dushare can be accessed in

6)_ A tool that can be use online is Printable crossword marker, It is a source in
which you use cloze test and a crossword together. It is necessary to complete the
missing words across and down, so students can improve their memory with an
interactive tool. Teacher chose a topic and it would be complete in order to each
word that connects with the crossing word. The requests are ordered with
numbers, and the answers will be below the page. It can be printed or as a pdf
document. I would use it at after-classroom, sending online the link to print it, to be
completed for the next class. Finally, students can improve their knowledge with
this interactive way to fix vocabulary and self-control. Pritable crossword marker

An offline tool is Jing, an easy way to record what they are doing at computer, you
assign what part of the screen is going to be record and press play, it is useful if
you want to make feedbacks, make an instruction blog to be share with other
classmates. For example, they need to make an important presentation whose
topic is to show how to use determinate tool and them use this application. Finally,
it is useful for secondary student in technological subjects because they are
conscientious doing their work, and teacher can revise the way they have been
doing during tasks. Jing can be accessed in the following link:
