Essay: History of Computers:
A computer is a machine that we can program to simplify our life in many ways; it is like
a copy of a human brain. A computer can execute a programmed list of commands and respond
to new instructions that it is given. The word computer was born in 1613, referring to a machine
or a people that carried out complex mathematics operations, or computations. Since them,
people have used the word computers with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th
century.
The first modern digital computers were created in the 1940 by the US army. These
computer was not like the computers that we have today, it was big as an entire room, and if we
compare the speed to perform operations of the modern computer and this old computer, we will
notice how far we are from this beginning and how much computer scientist have been done
.This computer used to take hours to figured out complex mathematical operations and math
problems that a regular modern computer, such as laptop or any desktop would perform in a
seconds.
Back in the 1970s, the first personal computers were created. They were extremely
faster and more powerful than the old and big computers .In addition; they were design to
individual consumers, making it possible for many customers to use them for their personal
needs. In early 80s Steve Jobs created the first laptop computers that really make the different in
the history of this incredible machine because Steve reduced more the size of the computer and
at the same time he opened new door in the computer’s history.
By the mid-1990s, laptop computers capable of millions of calculations per second had
been developed. Today, nearly half of American homes have a desktop or a laptop computer for
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 1 4
different purpose and in addition, we have a new generation of computers, such as; the smart
phones and the table all of them were created in the early years of the 21th century by Steve Jobs
the genius that built Apple Corporation 30 years before. Futurists prognosticate that smart
phones, computer and table will continue to become smaller and more powerful and they will be
used in almost every facet of people’s lives and for sure, computers will change our way of
living forever.

Summary:
Those websites talk about the history of computers, from the first computer to the
computers that we have today. Each website features illustrated descriptions of significant
innovations in software technology and hardware, as well as milestones in areas such as
commercial applications and artificial intelligence. In addition, I learned about the basic
advanced of computer concepts and about components of computer system, such as: microchips
and different microelectronics components that make the different in this field. Finally, I learned
about the association and the advancement of computing in education and it was pretty useful
because as future teacher I will use those new technologies, such as: educational software like
blackboard and verb ware in class to improve the quality of education of my future students.
Resumen:
En estos website se define la función de software como el equipamiento lógico o soporte
lógico de un sistema informático. El mismo está formado por el conjunto de los componentes

Journal:
During workshop number one, I felt great because I was learning a lot of new thing that I
did not imagine that were there before that class. It was like a new window that was there, but I
did not notice before. I’m pretty happy because I like computers and things related with
technologies, and that’s way we are in this class to learn how to combine educations and new
technologies such as; educational software.
I will apply all of the new things that I learn with my future students, because technology
and education are in the same packet today, so we have to be prepared for the new generation
that is growing up with the new technologies that we have today. That is way we must learn, as
much as; we can about educational software, and in general all about the technology and
education. In this class we talked about the about the history of computers, from the first
computer to the computers that we have today, and also we commented about educational
software like Blackboard and Worldly to improve the quality of education of my future students.
It was a great class without doubt.
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 2 7
Essay: Computer Uses:
I cannot imagine my life without my smart phone or my laptop computer .It is really hard
to figure things out without this amazing machine. Computers are essential to our modern
society; there are a lot of things that come to my mind when talking about how computers help
us in our daily life, such as: internet applications like Facebook and Twitter.
Another example could be the field of Mathematics; there are a lot of mathematical
operations that are so complex that only top computers are capable of calculating. This is why
computers became our best tool in sciences, because the unimaginable amount of incredible
operations that can be performed such as: calculations of temperature of the Sun or the distant
between Saturn and Jupiter.
Back in the days, our only computer was our brain which is the inspirational thing to
create this incredible machine. Since the computer was created we can say that our life was never
the same again and this event has speeded up our way of living in a lot of ways(Steve Jobs
2002).
Today computes has millions of applications such as in educational programs,
composing music, or in fields like medicine. In conclusion, the computer has changed the way of
thinking and living forever for our best.

Mapping
Origin of the word
computer
First computer model Computer in the 80s
and 90s
Computers’ uses in
the 21th century.
The word computer
was born in 1613,
referring to a machine
or a people that
carried out complex
mathematics
operations, or
computations
The first modern
digital computers
were created in the
1940 by the US army.
This computer was
not like the computers
that we have today, it
was big as an entire
room. Back in the
1970s, the first
personal computers
were created. They
were extremely faster
and more powerful
than the old and big
computers.
In early 80s Steve
Jobs created the first
laptop computers that
really make the
different in the history
of this incredible
machine By
the mid-1990s; laptop
computers capable of
millions of
calculations per
second had been
developed. Today,
nearly half of
American homes have
a desktop or a laptop
computer for different
purpose.
Today computes has
millions of
applications such as
in educational
programs, composing
and hearing music, or
in fields like
medicine. Futurists
prognosticate that
smart phones,
computer and table
will continue to
become smaller and
more powerful and
they will be used in
almost every facet of
people’s lives and for
sure.

Essay: Advantages of Software:
Computer software is the term that we use to define a computer programs. Software help
produce fast, accurate estimates as well as , help musicians to create knew melodies ,or scientist
to figured out knew complex mathematical operation and in general software help us to operate
and simplify the computers uses.
The big companies such as: Microsoft or Apple invest more than 50% of their budgets
to develop new software that day by day are better and better .Today ,every computer have an
open software, be it, inventory, telecommunication systems, personal productivity applications,
accounting, contact management and operating systems amongst others.
Another type of software is the Operating system software. Before this incredible
machine can work with application software, such as an office- package or game like last one
version of the famous video game Mortal combat, the computer must run the instructions
through the operating system software. That contains many built-in instructions, so that any
piece of application software does not have to repeat simple commands, like telling the computer
how to print documents out.
Finally, software will impact people live for sure. In addition, as a teacher we must be
update with new software because education and technology are together today’s day.

Journal:
During workshop number two, I felt a litter bit lost because I was learning a lot of new
things, as a result; I did not understand some new concepts and applications. Our teacher talked
about how to post the homework correctly and how to use all of those new things that She has
taught in this class such as; the definition of software ,and the evolution of the operational
systems. In addition; we studied the operational systems one by one, for example: we defined the
Ms-2, window 95, Window Vista, etc...
I believe that all of this knowledge will be a powerful tool for me. As a future teacher, for sure;
we will make the different when we apply all of these new technologies. In this class we also
talked about computers in education and how to use all of those new things to perform better
classes.

Ensayo: Software Educativos Y Sus Aplicaciones:
En el mundo de la computación se le llama software al equipamiento lógico o soporte
lógico de un sistema informático. El mismo está formado por el conjunto de los componentes
necesarios que son necesarios para la realización de tareas específica.
Existe muchos software que son utilizados para el desarrollo de la actividad educativa.
Los mismos son una herramienta superútil para los maestros debido a que facilitan mucho el
trabajo a los mismos, condensan y atraen al alumno ya que encierran una enorme carga
didáctica. Se define como software educativo al que está diseñado específicamente para la
enseñanza, y además el mismo tiene la misión de desarrollar de ciertas habilidades cognitivas.
Verbos, es un software educativo diseñado para el entorno de ventanas KDE. Consiste en
un programa educativo que permite practicar la conjugación de verbos en el idioma Español. El
programa contiene una sin números de verbos. Donde el alumno puede elegir un verbo de entre
10000 verbos para practicar la conjugación de los mismos en los diferentes tiempos
gramaticales. El programa cuenta con un reloj que le va dando una idea al estudiante del tiempo
transcurrido y de cuanto le falta, en caso de no terminar en el tiempo requerido perdería y su
puntuación seria cada vez menor (edu.kde.org/kverboos) .
Este programa podría utilizarse o insertarse en el currículo para la enseñanza del español
para 5to grado. Ayudaría mucho al maestro, ya que en este nivel se requiere la redacción de
oraciones compuestas en donde la conjugación de las formas verbales correctamente es
imprescindible.Este estándar pertenece al quinto grado en el estado asociado de Puerto Rico
Comunicación escrita. CE.5.13 Utiliza apropiada y consistentemente los tiempos verbales
perfectos tales como el presente y el futuro perfectos.

Journal:
During workshop three we learnt a lot of new things about the different part of the
computers such as: the computer hardware,, this part is the opposite of software and it has a lot
of important functions in the computer. We also talked about the computer ports and the Storage
system. I did not know anything about those computer’s components, but after the class I have a
better idea of this computer’s parts.
The last one part of the class was dedicated to one sector of the population that has
special needs. The handicapped populations have taken advantage of the new technologies. The
input and output devices made a big difference to people with disabilities by giving them a
better life, confidence, and the most important of all, quality of life. There are a lot of computers
types that have helped a lot of people with disabilities.
Unfortunately; there is a lot of people and policies that do not care too much about this
special population. That is way technologies like assistive technologies or adaptive technologies
have been specially developed to allow these differences, and as a society, we must fight and
support more laws that protect and help people with disabilities, more and more in order to create
a world with more justice. This class really touched my heart.
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 4 14
Essay: The Computer and Communication Types:
Computers were created in the 1940 by the US army. At the beginning this incredible
machine was controlled just by the US army and a few groups of Scientifics, but one became
public everything changed forever. Communications is one of the fields that computers have
affected constantly since computers become public (Bill Gates 2001).
Internet was discovered by The United Stated army 30 ago. In 1998 internet was allowed
to use in the United State of America. Even though it took many years to become public, that
was the beginning of a new era in the communication field. The internet is a powerful
communication tool that has been growing and spreading through the world like a powerful
tsunami (Steve Jobs 1999).
As a result, it has become without doubt the most important source of communication
and resource. Millions of people all over the world have access to internet and the majority of
companies have full access to surf the net. The internet has opened and allowed us new horizons
in ways we never dreamt before. Email, advertising on web pages, instant chat, video
conferencing and lastly social nets like Facebook and twitter have been affecting our lives in
ways that we haven’t imagine for the last 20 years.
All of those applications are used for communications purposes in our daily life. Let’s
talk about a couple of them. The first one is the Email. It is one of the most popular application
today, and consist in a in a message that you type in your computer that will be sent to another
user that already had a mail address.
The other application is Facebook; this is like a net of friends or people that are part of
this virtual society. You can send videos ,photos, messages and just people that you have added
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 4 15
to your friend list have the right to share your information ,photos and your daily post by a
public wall that connect all your Facebook friends.
In conclusion, these new technologist has been affecting our lives in a positive way in the
last few years. Today it is almost impossible to imagine the word communication without
computers and the internet.

Journal:
En este taller cuatro aprendimos acerca del navegador o browser. Básicamente la
profesora explico cómo funciona el internet y como la información navega en le web. De veras
fue fascinante es un mundo tan abstracto e increíble que mientras más conozco más me enamoro
de él. También hablamos sobre las comunicaciones y redes.
Aquí desglosamos los distintos tipos de comunicación tales como el correo electrónico y
el chat también hablamos e investigamos mediante trabajos en clase sobre el fenómeno boj y red
social. Hablamos sobre el impacto de Facebook, titear y en fin todas estas nuevas tecnologías
que afectan de seguro nuestra vida diarias de muchas maneras.
Y por último hablamos de las diferentes fórmulas de Excel, este programa es fascinante
especialmente para llevar estadísticas tablas matemáticas y cosas así. De la primera clase a esta
de veras he dado un salto de gigantes estoy súper contento porque todo esto es aplicable a la
educación y de seguro será un armas muy poderosa para mi desempeño como profesor.

Final Project:
Computer projects for the first grade.
Elementary Language Arts for the first grade:
Objective:
A word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things (common noun), or to name a particular one of these (proper noun).
Title of the concept:
Meaning of the word noun
Population to be addressed by the lesson:
Population to be addressed by the lesson is the ESL populations that are in the first grade in the elementals school in Miami Dade County. They represent the 34% of the student in this area and in some cities like Hialeah represent the 68% of the population that are taking lesson of language arts.
Lesson goal(s):
Teach students about words that we used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things, (common noun), or to name a particular one of these (proper noun).I will achieve that goal with different educational software to connect the students to new technologies and at the same time cover a “SSS” in the field of language arts for the first grade.
Sunshine State Standards Benchmark:
LA.1.1.6.6 The student will identify and sort words into conceptual categories.
Activities
Introductive activity:
The class will be performed in the computer lab to achieve the goals of the project.
I will keep the students attention with different questions, for example: If they know the name of the machine that has in front of them or if they know the name of the place that they are using to develop this project. Once the answer me those questions I will ask them if they know the name of the word, that they used to name things. Them I will tell them that they will learn the name of this word (noun), so I will prepare a “YouTube” video that will give them the definition of the word nouns and that will be new and fun for them and at the same time they will learn while are using educational software.
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 5 20
Development activity:
After that I will give them different pictures that have things, places, and actions they will choose the one that represents nouns. Here they have to recognize that nouns are used to name things; as a result; the action pictures have to be eliminated by them. After that I will create with them an “Animoto” to give them more examples of nouns, and let them the opportunity to interact with the new technologies. After that, I will create a “Voky” with the students that will talk about the personal nouns, them they will write in their paper 3 names of different places and 3 proper names to complete the activity.
Closing activity:
I will split the class in 2 groups, and we will do like a competitions. One group will tell me 6 nouns that represent things and the other group will tell me 6 nouns that are used to names proper names and places. The groups that finish before will have the possibility to see their work in “Worldly” (educational software); because I will public that with them and of course the other group will do that after the winners.
Assessment procedure
The next day, the student will bring me a list with 12 nouns that name things and a list of 12 that name places and proper names. If they do that correctly, is because they achieve the goal that was set for this project. Them, they will type that in their computers the 12 nouns, and I will print all of those works. After that I will hang up in large wall chart, titled “Nouns” and I will post them, for the whole course long and, as a result, they will remember what a noun is, just by looking the wall.

Final Test:
1. Que puede hacer un educador con las computadoras?
Las computadoras son una importante arma para el educador en el siglo XXI. Debido a
que las nuevas tecnologías facilitan grandemente el trabajo al profesor, si este conoce y sabe
cómo insertarlas en él la asignatura que está impartiendo correctamente. Hoy una gama de
“software” educativos sirve al profesor desde los niveles primarios hasta los niveles
universitarios. Podemos poner como ejemplo el uso de la computación para clases de idiomas.
Programas como Roseta Stone son usados en los laboratorios de computación para la
corrección de la pronunciación y gramática a los alumnos de enseñanza del inglés como segunda
lengua. Este es un ejemplo de cómo el profesor utiliza la computación y a sus vez esta afecta
positivamente la actividad educativa, quedando demostrado así, que la educación gano un gran
aliado en la computadora.
2. Consideraciones antes de usar computadoras en el salón de clases.
Un profesor antes de usar las computadoras en el salón de clases debe tener en cuenta
varias cosas. Como el sistema operativo en que están funcionando las maquinas; que puede ser
“Windows vista” o “Windows XP” o cualquier otro. También el maestro debe saber que marca
es la computadora debido a que no es lo mismo trabajar en el sistema operativo de “Mac” o a
trabar en el sistema operativo “Windows”, porque en dependencia de la marca de la
computadora, así será su diseño y funcionamiento.
Otra cosa y no menos importantes es conocer al pie de la letra el “Software” que se va a
utilizar en la clase. Por último, casi todo los “Software” educativos están conectado al internet
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 5 24
por lo que el profesor deberá conocer al pie de la letra como navegar, buscar y utilizar el internet
lo mejor posible.
3. Son realmente esenciales las computadoras en la enseñanza?
Creo que si ya que hoy en día, debido a que el mundo avanza a pasos agigantado de
mano de la tecnología no se puede separar una cosa de la otra. Se puede ensenar sin ayuda de la
computación sin duda alguna, así pasa en países subdesarrollados hoy en día, pero yo lo
considero un sacrilegio en toda la extensión de la palabra. Claro está hay países que no pueden
darse el lujo de proveer computadoras para sus estudiantes, pero es triste.
Las nuevas generaciones en los países desarrollados crecen con la computación y sus
avances y decir o afirmar que la computación no es fundamental para la enseñanza es algo sin
ningún tipo de base. En él los siglos pasados la computación no era trascendental ya que el
mundo funcionaba diferente; por lo que se consideraba una persona alfabetizada y educada, el
individuo que sabía leer, escribir y tenía algún tipo de entrenamiento específico. Pero en la
actualidad, un profesional, o un joven sin conocimientos básicos en computación es, como un
analfabeto en los siglos pasados. Concluyo, que debemos preocuparnos por enseñar a nuestros
futuros estudiantes lo más que podamos sobre este magnífico mundo de la computación.
4. Menciona una aplicación de programa para aplicarlo en el currículo.
El software educativo llamado “Worldly” se puede utilizar para incentivar a los
estudiantes en la clase de ESL. Este software educativo se puede incluir en el “Sunshine State
Standards Benchmark: LA.1.1.6.6 The student will identify and sort words into conceptual
categories” (Florida department of education 2011).
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 5 25
Ya que a la hora de que los estudiantes realicen sus actividades, pudiéramos pedirle que
escriban los sustantivos, que en este caso sería el tópico de esta clase; en vez de en un papel
como es la forma tradicional, lo pueden hacer en este programa y así estimularemos en el huso
de la computación, provocando el desarrollando, manejo de las nuevas tecnologías y lograremos
conjugación y la inserción de la computación en la educación primaria.
5. Menciona cinco referencias y lecturas recomendadas sobre el tema de clase "
Computadoras en la Educación".
En este curso las referencias más útiles en mi opinión fueron las siguientes:
1. www.fldoe.org
2. www.nasaeducation.org
3. www.oregonstate.edu
4. www.old.ma.is
5. www.agg3333.ifas.ufl.edu/components
Estas referencias sirvieron para profundizar mis conocimientos en el mundo de la
computación y la educación. De veras que me catapultaron a un mundo que nunca antes había
imaginado.
Yo recomendaría como lecturas fundamentales para cualquiera que se quisiera adentrar
en este mundo de la computación en la educación, dos artículos que leí para obtener información
sobre la historia de la computación y otro para el software educativo los leí en la Enciclopedia
británica escritos por (Brian Rosenberg 2004).
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO WORKSHOP 5 26
También otros dos artículos que recomendarían serian “La Computadora” el cual es un
increíble artículo para entender el impacto en la sociedad y en la educación de la computadora
(Profesor; Juan Carlos Espinoza 2005). Por último recomendaría otros dos documentos que
utilice para hacer la composición sobre la computación y las comunicaciones. El primero fue el
artículo que escribió sobre computación y educación “In Five years the best education will come
from The Web”( Bill Gates 2010) y el articulo que realmente me impresiono más fue: ‘What
higher education can learn from Steve Jobs” (Brian Rosegberg). Todos estos documentos
captaron me atención me dieron mucha información sobre este bello mundo, de veras los
recomiendo.
EDUC 214 PORTFOLIO 27
Conclusion:
Esta es una de las clases más fantásticas que yo he tomado ya que me abrió el portal hacia
un mundo poco conocido por mí. Es increíble cuanto aprendí en tan poco tiempo. Me sorprende
que tantas maneras existen de conjugar las nuevas tecnologías con la educación. Sin duda este
siglo será el siglo de la educación computarizada y como consecuencia debo estar preparado.
