What happens when you have not worked since childhood education literacy as it should? How can we make our students write correctly in English?

These are questions that many parents and teachers make me. Most schools use methods such as Jolly Phonics phonics to teach their students, but there are schools that completely forget this competition and, logically, When students arrive at primary encounter a serious problem: students do not know the English phonetics and literally write what they hear.

The problem is that once you are immersed in the maelstrom of contents, exams, duties, etc., representing primary, it is almost impossible to spend time working phonetics as we should. What can we do, then, to get our kids write and read correctly in English?

The school of which I spoke in the post July was Ritaharju School, a school whose main feature is the use of new technologies in education. But not all Finnish schools emphasize this aspect. There are many other special features that make the 11 best schools in the world.

Now I'm back!! 😀 Do not think I've been on vacation yet ...! This week has been a week of unexpected changes but I'm here, with charged batteries and with many looking forward to starting the course. Further, Today I have chosen a subject that interests me a lot and where I'd like to get your opinion.

As you know, I have special interest in the use of ICT in education, and above all, the impact these may have to foster meaningful learning. this interest, I have been reading and researching about, topándome with all kinds of opinions.

When we talk about technology in education is fairly balances the scales. On one side we have those pedagogues totally contrary to the educational use of technology, arguing that children need to experience and touch what they are learning. In the "side" against those educators who have swashbuckling defend the effective use of these. What is my opinion about it? You'll have to read the rest of the post to find out…!

At Present, one of these "debates" revolves around the possibility of including in the curriculum materials and programming.

¿Programming?? For if. Countries like the United States and Estonia begin to include programming as a subject in their schools, and many educators and computer scientists who defend to the hilt the benefits of introducing this kind of knowledge at an early age.
