I used to play pac-man and super mario bros when I was a kid. I remember spending many hours trying to win them alone in my bedroom eating lots of snacks and to be honest those were great times! But my mom was always very angry because she thought I was wasting my time. Maybe at that time, nobody at home and even myself did not notice that playing video games was a way to increase my attention when performing a task, to develop perseverance and critical thinking when deciding strategies to pass to the next level. I have to confess that my favourite was and is super mario bros because I have it now in my laptop.

JUEGOS Y SIMULACIONES EN EL E-APRENDIZAJE

Mr. Haskell taught us three kinds of educational games: 1. Serious games 2. Gamification 3. Commercial games All of them make the class enjoyable and interesting, all of them are powerful tools that teachers should use wisely to obtain great results.

I hope to see him again because I think he is a cool professor!

Las herramientas Web 2.0 son aliados en la actualidad que aportan recursos valiosos para la creación de los tan necesarios PLE (Personal Learning Environment).  Un PLE es un espacio virtual donde el aprendiz coloca videos, enlaces, infografías, nubes de palabras, mapas conceptuales, comics, documentos, todo lo que considere valioso para su aprendizaje de esta manera el o ella gestiona su proceso educativo y se hace un ser autónomo que produce y comparte conocimiento más allá de solo consumirlo. Con nuestro grupo colaborativo hicimos nuestro mapa mental sobre PLEs y lo ilustramos en un cartel que compartimos con los demás grupos.  Durante el proceso tuvimos que explorar el trabajo de los d
