¿Qué es un BYOD en educación?

¿Qué es un BYOD en educación?

B YOD El BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) o TSPD (Trae Tu Propio Dispositivo) es una nueva metodología de educación que consiste en que cada estudiante

lleve al salón de clase su propio dispositivo electrónico - smartphone, laptop o tablet -

para mejorar la lección dictada por el profesor.

Esta nueva propuesta está dirigida a involucrar al estudiante con el uso apropiado de la

tecnología y a que reconozca que los dispositivos electrónicos con los que ya está

familiarizado pueden ser una herramienta útil y divertida para potenciar su aprendizaje.

El BYOD nació bajo la premisa de que hoy en día enseñarle a los más pequeños cómo utilizar

y sacar provecho de la tecnología es tan impor-tante como enseñar a leer o a escribir. La era

digital da lugar a pensar una educación apoyada por la interactividad de las herramientas

digitales, donde se enseñe a consumir y a producir contenido valioso.

¿Qué es un BYOD en educación?

Es importante que los dispositivos electrónicos sean un apoyo para la lección, más no la lección en sí misma.Los profesores idealmente deben planear previamente si la clase girará en torno a la búsqueda de información o al desarrollo de un concepto.

Dentro de la implementación del BYOD, es necesario que los docentes tengan la pacien-cia necesaria para confrontar los obstáculos que puede presentar este método. Aquí les damos algunos tips para superarlos:

Tercero, es necesario que los docentes tengan en cuenta las posibles distracciones a las que se puede enfrentar el alumno durante la sesión de clase. Dichas distracciones pueden jugar en su favor si las integra como parte de la metodología de la clase. Ofrecer herramientas que hagan uso de dinámicas de juego con las que el niño esté familiarizado, puede convertirse en una táctica efectiva para que éste estudie sin ni siquiera notarlo.

puedan integrar en sus aulas de clase dinámicas de e-learning con sus alumnos, como asignación de tareas, trabajos en grupo, difusión de contenido, entre otros.

El método de BYOD en las aulas de clase está siendo implementado por diferentes insti-tuciones educativas en diferentes lugares del mundo, que han acogido la tecnología y se han preocupado por motivar la participación activa de los estudiantes en los contenidos de las asignaturas. Vale la pena mencionar que a pesar de la llegada de la tecnología al salón de clase, no se debe dejar de lado la preocupación por el carácter humano de los estudiantes: sus miedos, expectativas, sueños y motivaciones. El BYOD se suma a la larga lista de tendencias que están revolucionando el método de edu-cación tradicional, fomentando el aprendizaje y el trabajo colaborativo, apoyando el uso de nuevas herramientas digitales.

A school ship bringing conservation education to Indonesian islanders wins UNESCO sustainability education prize

The Kalabia Environmental Education program is one of the three winners of the 2018 edition of the UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development. Program Founder and Advisor Angela Beer spoke to UNESCO about the win.

‘discovered’ the challenges in conservation were to do with destructive practices such as

“In addition, on the many low-lying islands the local people would actually dig up the reef to use as foundations for housing construction. There was coral mining and poaching of endangered species of sea turtles. People didn’t realize how special, nor how vulnerable, the area was and it was an interesting chal-lenge to formulate a program to raise aware-ness.”In one decade, however, there has been a huge shift in the main threat to the area and ironical-ly, the interest in its incredible diversity began to attract tourism.“The threat now is not so much to do with bad use and extraction of natural resources by locals, but to do with tourism and development pressures: the exploitation of the islands is happening too rapidly and not in a context of responsible tourism nor sustainable coastal development,” she said.

Enter the Kalabia with a mission and strategy to engage communities, and most of all youth, in their islands’ future and precious resources. This has involved working with tribal councils and clans who have ownership claims extend-ing from land to reefs and also backing up the educational work with traditional and govern-mental legislation. A network of six large marine protected areas (MPAs) have been developed in Raja Ampat to help manage and protect the rich local oceans.

intensive education programmes to children which are designed to involve whole commu-nities.

“We work with children in grade 4 to 6 at an age where they are super keen to learn and soak up information like sponges. We also teach whole communities that by using unsustain-able practices they are undermining their own future” said Angela.

6 educators per 30 students, the children participate in a mixture of small-group lessons,

which take place onboard the Kalabia.

“In relation to one of the most fragile elements of this environment, the coral reef, the children and their elders often think coral is a rock or a plant, rather than a living animal. Gaining understanding like this is key to change.

“Even in these remote regions marine debris has become an issue. We teach about the impact of plastics on the environment and health and that it cannot be discarded like a biodegradable leaf,” she said.

The program includes a monitoring and evalu-ation element to record evidence of change in knowledge, skills and attitudes, but anecdotal evidence is the most powerful indicator of the transformational power of what the children learn.“We start the lesson by asking them ‘where does your garbage go when you throw it in the sea?’ They usually reply simply, ‘away’. So, after doing a beach clean-up together and snor-kelling on the reef, we tell them that their island is another island’s ‘away’.

Since its inception the Kalabia has taught more than 10,000 students in its core program, visited all Raja Ampat villages over three times and touched the lives of well over 100,000 people through extended programs.

Did you know this about... German?

German phrases are always full of surprise because of the unusual word order. Quite often the verb (that says what actually happened) is at the end of a sentence. Imagine a phrase like “The postman was *1* by the huge dog waiting for him since the sun had risen *2*.” While in English you’d put the verb in the middle of the phrase (*1*) in German you’d only know at the end (*2*) what actually happened: he was bitten/welcomed/chased/…..

Did you know this about... English?

The spelling of William Shakespeare's name has varied over time. Sources from William

“Shappere” to “Shaxberd”. In the handful of signatures that have survived, the Bard never spelled his own name “William Shakespeare,” using variations or abbreviations such as “Willm Shakp,” “Willm Shakspere” and “William Shakspeare” instead. However it’s spelled, Shakespeare is thought to derive from the Old English words “schakken” (“to brandish”) and “speer” (“spear”), and probably referred to a confrontational or argumentative person.

The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."

There is a completely unique English dialect spoken only on Tangier Island, Virginia. It is said to be almost the same as when the island was settled in 1686 and can be unintelligible even to native English speakers.

According to the US company Global Language Monitor (GLM) a new word in the English language is created about every 98 minutes.The English language is likely to contain the most words of all languages, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, and estimates for the number of words range from one to two million.

FERIA DEL DIADEL TRADUCTOR

Feria del Día del Traductor

Algunas de las actividades más destaca-bles de este gran evento fueron: Guess the movie, actividad llevada a cabo por los alumnos de primer semestre en la que los participantes tenían que escuchar el diálo-go de una escena al azar de una película para posteriormente adivinar de qué película se trataba.

Los alumnos de tercer semestre también hicieron un gran trabajo al realizar una trivia que ponía a prueba los conocimien-tos de sus participantes sobre los temas de pop culture, traducción, interpretación, ciencias naturales e historia.

Respecto a los alumnos de quinto semes-tre, tuvieron la interesante idea de realizar un rally con obstáculos los cuales ponían a prueba las habilidades y agilidad de quienes se animaban a participar en su actividad.

Séptimo semestre no se quedó atrás con su actividad de headbands. Esta se jugaba en parejas, uno debía de ponerse una carta en la frente y el otro, haciendo señas, debía hacer que su compañero adivinase lo que estaba escrito en dicha tarjeta. Una actividad bastante divertida muy al estilo Ellen Degeneres.

“And last but not least”, los alumnos de noveno semestre, para cerrar con broche de oro su última participación como alum-nos de la Licenciatura en Idiomas en el I.E.S.T., propusieron como actividad el “tra-ductor loco”, actividad que también se realizaba en parejas; uno se ponía detrás de la �gura del traductor y tenía que con-testar preguntas de cultura general; si contestaba tres preguntas mal, este era bañado en espuma por su compañero, y si contestaba cinco preguntas bien al hilo, se ganaba un delicioso, suculento, exquisito “pulparindo”.

Durante el transcurso de las actividades, se hizo un pequeño break en el que el coordi-nador de la carrera, Daniel Bustos Márquez, llevó a cabo la premiación de la tercera edición del concurso Game of Tradux. Fue muy grato ver que dos alumnos de tercer semestre, Juan Antonio Soublette Revuelta y Mayda Yaritna Elizalde Lamas, ganaron las categorías de traducción literaria y traducción técnica respectivamente, ¡Enhorabuena, futuros traductores!

Nos sentimos realmente agradecidos y satisfechos por el esfuerzo y dedicación que los alumnos mostraron durante este evento, estando seguros que el próximo año superarán nuestras expectativas.

On the 28th of September of the current year, the students of the I.E.S.T. degree in languages from the �rst to the ninth semester had the opportunity to organize one of the most outstanding events that the career has had since it was founded: The Translator's Day. In which, several activities related to the culture of di�er-ent countries were carried out making use of the di�erent languages that the students learn during their studies in the career, in order to create a diverse cultural environment in which everyone could �nd a space full of knowledge and languages. Some of the most outstanding activities of this great event were: “Guess the movie”, an activity carried out by �rst semester students in which the participants had to listen to the dialogue of a random scene from a �lm in order to later guess which �lm it was.

Third semester students also did a great job by performing a trivia that tested their participants' knowledge of pop culture, translation, interpretation, natural scienc-es, and history.

Regarding the �fth semester students, they had the interesting idea of carrying out a rally with obstacles which put to test the skills and agility of those who were encouraged to participate in their activity.

Seventh semester did a headbands activity.

This was played in pairs, one had to put a card on the forehead and the other, waving, had to make his partner guess what was written on the card. A rather fun activity very Ellen DeGeneres style.

And last but not least, the students of the ninth semester, to close their last partici-pation as students of the Degree in Lan-guages in the I. E. S. T. with a golden �nale, they proposed as an activity the "crazy translator", an activity that was also carried out in pairs; one stood behind the �gure of the translator and had to answer questions of general culture; if he answered three questions badly, this one was bathed in foam by his companion, and if he answered �ve questions well in a row, he earned a delicious "pulparindo".

During the course of the activities, a small break was made in which the coordinator, Daniel Bustos Márquez, carried out the awarding of the third edition of the Game of Tradux contest. It was very gratifying to see that two third semester students, Juan Antonio Soublette Revuelta and Mayda Yaritna Elizalde Lamas, won the catego-ries of literary translation and technical translation respectively. Congratulations, future translators!

We feel really grateful and satis�ed for the e�ort and dedication that the students showed during this event, being sure that next year they will exceed our expectations.

ANKIAnki is a free cross-platform �ashcard pro-gram and one of the best when it comes to language learning software. It is con-tent-agnostic and supports images, audio, video and scienti�c markup. There are a lot of shared decks available in the app that you can download and start memorizing, or you can build your own.

Languages: Arabic, Chinese, English,French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish.

Anki uses the spaced repetition system to predict when you are about to forget what you are learning, and remind you just before your memory fades completely. The program will display a word, phrase or image, and then let you make the connec-tion, repeat it, interpret it and memorize it

https://apps.ankiweb.net/

MEMRISEMemrise is a free learning platform which has all sorts of courses. It includes 200+ language courses and many other topics.

The platform uses a gami�ed �ashcard approach and adaptive spaced repetition learning technology. Users are awarded points and reputations as they learn, and they can also compete against other users.

You learn new words in bite-sized and easy lessons and then practice with games models that boost di�erent aspects of your memory. You can choose or create your own mems – mnemonics that help you to associate words with something memorable, like a picture, a sample sen-tence, its etymology, something funny etc. This approach promotes mental con-nections, which helps to create stronger memorization.
