 Rate: 4

The article of this week I found really interesting. In first place, as we noticed before, we are naturally curious and at the same time, we are rational and emotional creatures. Further, as part as our nature, God give us the capacity of thinking, as a consequence to this, we are able to understand and making mental processes. Actually, as teachers we are called to help students to provide the learning in which they can involved by themselves. In second place, something which I would like to point out is that teachers must deliberate help students to acquire specific abstract reasoning capacity. This means that we must teach to the students to understand, analyze, synthesize and evaluated information .
The article mentioned a truthful argument about teachers should do less telling and more asking. Also is important to take in mind that students are not like a machine, they shouldn’t produce the same of the teacher, as an individual learner they need to get involved and produce the learning by themselves, they have different kinds of input and teachers should provide diversity styles of teaching because they need to respond them as an individual learner with different personalities.
In terms of technology, the use of computers help us them to achieve the learning, by sing visual representations of auditory information. In addition, using short discussions and interactive environment and lastly, using  visual to help students to learn .In conclusion the method and objectives should be focus on the growing and developing of critical thinking in the students and use productively the technology  to helps them .
