The National Bilingualism Program by JONATHAN ALEXANDER DELGADO OCHOA https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB Trying to find a collective solution en-us 2022-02-14 02:02:58 UTC 2026-02-25 11:42:00 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4be.png ECO WEB 2.0 johan Rodriguez https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2061814325 I have reviewed Eco Web 2.0. In this website you can find many resources related to the teaching process from the perspective of the teacher and the student. This page offers some didactic guides, which are really useful when we need to give study material to our students. So, in this sense, I would like to give my opinion as a teacher in relation to this material. 

Advantages

-The didactic guides cover up a lot of topics from A1 to B1. Also, they are brief with the activities and the instructions are simple. 

- The didactic guides are jazzy for children. They are composed by images and colors that stand out from the background.

- The vocabulary is there. We need to consider the new words, because just in this way they can acquire if the do not have more places to practice English.

-There are activities that combined; Real situations like part of my body, my house or daily activities how to fetch food

-We can learn about other culture. The English always is connected to foreign culture, so if our students do not have idea about the foreign culture this could be an option to learn about that. 

Disadvantages

-The activity guide is not entirely for self-study, since it needs to be explained by a teacher.

-It does not offer sufficient explanation of grammar.

-The activity guide does not offer enough interaction among students

The aim of this website is to provide resources for students in a real context. Further, this web wants to develop all of the English skills. For this reason, I would like to show the advantages and disadvantages of this website.

Advantages

- The resources are in many different kinds of formats. For instance: books, audios, DVD, flipbooks, among others.

- Each resource is divided into topics and modules. So, that in this way, the student and the teacher can guide the teaching and learning process effectively.

 - These resources also help the teachers in lesson planning through pacing guides.

Disadvantages

- There is not enough explanation for the grammar. For this reason, these guides should always be developed with a teacher.

- In the flipbook, the times to develop the activities are very short, and for each topic the time is similar. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze which topics are more complex and require more time to develop.  ]]> 2022-02-24 00:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2063620216 The B1 challenge- Paulina Tavera https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2064513954 It is a digital game app that seeks to strengthen English learning. It is developed for students from 4th to 11th grade, and for teachers of English and territorial identities that require accompaniment. Its main objectives are the approach to standardized test questions presented through games, the promotion of learning English outside the classroom and provide pedagogical guidelines relevant to the needs of students.

Advantages
- It allows the use of audiovisual tools that interact with the senses and promote adequate learning outcomes from this. 
- Contributes to the training of skills to present standardized tests. 
- The explanations are interactive and easy to understand due to their constant use of images, colors and sounds. 
- It evelops different skills such as listening, writing and managing grammar.
- It can be used as support material for the topics covered in class.

Disadvantages
- This strategy cannot be used much within the class due to its autonomous mode. - It leaves aside important skills such as speaking. 
- It does not develop the use of English in real contexts that can bring the student closer to the language.
- The strategy does not serve to encourage interaction between students so that they can use the language they are learning.]]> 2022-02-24 13:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2064513954 ENGLISH, PLEASE! Tatiana Galvis M https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2067220186 This space proposes some books with strategies so that ninth grade adolescents can overcome their level of A or A1 in English.
Advantages:
- Access to the material is free, both for students and teachers. Has interactive versions
- It is quite complete because it has audios, texts, activities for students to practice writtig. The skills necessary for language learning are worked on in these books
- There are student versions and a guide for teachers (suggests teaching techniques and methodologies)
- In some sections they show parts of vocabulary
Disadvantages:
- Many schools do not have the resources to implement this digital material or print it for all their students 
- There is no help for students to learn to pronounce words 
- Vocabulary is taught by the translation method. That is, not all the information that is in the book is in English, which makes the language acquisition process based on literal translations.]]> 2022-02-26 02:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2067220186 Bunny Bonita mateodiaz146 https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2067776404 Bunny Bonita is a project developed by the National Plan of Bilingualism (PNB) and its objective is to teach basic English with useful language for daily communication destined to children between 4 to 8 years old. The program emphasizes the utility of language while delving into grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.

ADVANTAGES:
  • Bunny Bonita's lessons are characterized by starting from the reality of children, their schools, their communities, and their cultural background, thus turning the process into meaningful learning.
  • Accompany the teacher and the student in a calm, meaningful and fun learning process that allows them to use the English language in a confident and effective way inside and outside the classroom.
  • Pay special attention to the development of vocabulary and communicative functions that are of immediate use by the student and teacher.

DISADVANTAGES:
  • More publicity is needed for this tool to be used not only by the public sector but by all schools that need it.

]]> 2022-02-26 22:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2067776404 PNB: digital resources. Angelica Dussan. https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068276059 It is based on several web pages that can be used to improve communicative skills in English.

Advantages:
- Both, teachers and students can have access to this material.
- The material involves writing, reading, listening, and speaking dimensions.
- Some videos are provided by the British council, which makes them reliable as they promoted educational opportunities and are aimed at IELTS preparation.
-There is a handful of topics to choose from.
- This material helps to understand English culture.

Disadvantages:
- Students who don't have an internet connection at home or at school, cannot take advantage of the material.
- Due to the lack of English culture immersion, some topics can be confusing for the students. Ex: thanksgiving day or Easter day.

I would use this material to improve all the mentioned skills. If in the school there are no computers or internet connection, I would ask students to look at this material at home, as a part of homework or autonomous work.

Sebastián Ariza. https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068464726 The Ministry of Education, in partnership with the U.S. Embassy, offers you a variety of Readers to support your learning or teaching process. As a student, I recognize that a lot of people do not have the motivation to read, especially in English. Therefore, I recognize this tool very useful as a future teacher to use. For instance, it has some advantages: 

-          Some texts are very easy to read, especially for those who are beginning to learn English.
-          Also, some texts also have audio and images to make the reading more didactic to learners.

However, I found this tool limited. It needs to develop more in order to have a full and diverse tool of reading.

]]> 2022-02-27 20:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068464726 Be (the) 1 challenge Jean Pierre Montaño Centeno https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068539790 (Be (the) 1 challenge) is a virtual tool with the objective of helping students, inside and outside the classroom, to improve their English, in order to learn more culturally speaking. this tool is aimed at students from 4th grade to 11th grade. also this tool has the support of teachers and certified territorial entities.

Advantages
-Motivates students to learn English at any time.
- Strengthens English learning and helps students to know and understand standardized questions.
-Helps the teacher to know teaching strategies that are useful to teach English in the classroom.
- Helps the teacher's cultural development.

Disadvantages
- Since it is a virtual tool, it is possible that some students and even teachers do not have access to it due to lack of resources.
-It is a personalized space that takes away the experience of interacting with others in a real context.
- If there is not enough tutoring, it is possible that students or teachers may have problems using it.

This is a very easy to use tool and as a teacher I would apply it in a school with the necessary resources to teach English, in terms of speaking, listening, writing and reading, I could divide the class by stages so that we can explore various modules present in the application in order to have a complete learning cycle through virtuality. I could even leave activities or homework for my students to do at the end of the class, and that way I will be sure that they will continue with a continuous English process. What will be difficult for me to use this method is that I would not know if my students have the tools outside the classroom to use this application.]]> 2022-02-27 23:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068539790 English, Please! Fast Track maicolstevenphelps https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068618438 These books of accelaration for students who are way behind of what is stimated in the last three grades of hightschool can be a useful tool. 

Advantages 
They contain an slightly similar cultural content to our student's context. We can use them as a tool for basic conversations and specially each book has a cluster of audio recordings for developing listening skills from the very beginning. Futhermore, these listening tracks adress Colombian students nationality and culture so students feel identified and adressed properly. 

Disadvantages
I think it really can be another hand when it comes to teaching, but it is inevitable that more than one tool is necessary to create a proper English class development. You may combine more tools such as photos, videos, and different other tools. 

Usage in class.
I would like to use it in my classes because of the rationale previously mentioned. I think it is a whatsome contextualized project that is worth incuding in our class development. Nonetheless, I always include activities thar really force students to take out from the book what they are reading or learning. So I would use it as an initial stage of class. And it would be part of a bigger range of activities. ]]> 2022-02-28 01:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068618438 Be (the)1: Challenge Luisa Fernanda Malagon Rubiano https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068635262 The Be(the)1 Challenge is a game application created to improve the level of English and motivate the students to learn it. It is focused on 4th and 11th grades and teachers can use it as a method of evaluation.

Advantages:
-Taking into account the new technologies and the post-pandemic world, the use of these applications makes better the process of learning.
-Students are close to this type of app and it can be more highlighting for them.
-Create motivation out of the classroom and students can use it in their free time.

Disadvantages
-The main disadvantage is that in Colombia not all children have access to the internet, even if they have, they do not have many cellphones, just one per house. 
-Not all schools are prepared to manage these new technologies, for the connection and for the fact that not all teachers agree with integrating these activities in their classes.

I will use this application if the school and students have the access to them and the possibility to interact in their houses and the classroom. However, if it is not possible, I would check the material and the topics of the app and I would try to integrate in a good way in my classes. Then, all of my students would have the possibility to access this new information and knowledge. ]]> 2022-02-28 01:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068635262 Eco radio teach- Isis Daniela Sánchez https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2068907713 I think it is a great idea to support the English learning process, this material is very useful to develop listening skills in students. In addition, this tool has three categories called: Eco kids, Eco teens and Teacher toolkit that provides new knowledge related to cultural issues in our country and the world.

Advantages
- This material takes into account different ages and according to that the learning topics and the level of English are developed.
-Helps improve listening skills 
-The learning process is guided by teachers who try to facilitate the understanding of the topics.
-Teaches cultural topics that make it interesting for students.

Disadvantages
-Taking into account the context of the students, not all have access to the internet.
-Sometimes with long recordings students lose concentration.

One of them is that this initiative give to the videogames a educational progress and this make to the students knows in a fun way a subject that could be stressful for the majority of the students, however everything is not good with this strategy because using a game in order to learn something some students could ignore the educational process and just want to play avoid everything else ]]> 2022-02-28 14:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jadelgadoo/PNB/wish/2069547433
