Content

The digital portfolio helps students to apply their knowledge by writings and oral expressions. In my case it helped me to improve my vocabulary.

While I was creating this portfolio I learned to publish in blogger and to upload videos to Youtube. We made a really good use of technology.

Presentation

My course expectations• Reflection

At the beginning of this course I said that

I wanted to speak English not just understand it

And I feel that I have improved in this part but

not at the point I wanted. On the other hand my

vocabulary and TOEFL skills have improve.

My best composition• Reflection

I choose this one because it shows

my feelings about one of the most

interesting person for me: Bill Gates.

I just had a few mistakes, so that´s

something really good for me.

My favourite quote

• Reflection

In this activity my classmates showed their feeling through

the quotes, they talked about life, hope, love and sadness.

My favorite quote was one by Paulo Coelho that says “No one

loses anyone, because no one owns anyone” because I think that

we are free to love.

An inspiring person

• Reflection

With this activity I improved my vocabulary and

learn new connectors.

Sharing this to my classmates was something amazing

because with this activity I knew that in my class

there were people with the same interest like me.

My blogging experience• Reflection

I have to admit that this was something new for me.

I learned how to make comics and this was

awesome. It was useful to make use of my vocabulary

and to think how to use it in a normal chat..

My favorite activity• Reflection

• I think that the teacher ask us to do this activity because it is

fundamental for her to know what did her students enjoyed more

• I didn't ask me after about which was my favorite activity, but now

I think that every activity was special to my learning.

My personal values• Reflection

• I think that there are criminals because their fathers didn’t

think in the importance of teaching values.

• I think that the teacher ask us for our values to know

more about who we are.

• I always try to think about this and ask me if I am who I

want to be.

Link: http://youtu.be/suIGDMcF5DMThe idea began while I was chatting with a friend about how slow that is her computer is. She told me that when she visited a page always came out (to be shown visibly or clearly) a pop-up showing ads, then I told her about a way to block almost all the ads in the Internet so her computer could be faster than before.I had used before a software called Camtasia Studio so I downloaded the trial version and began to record. Actually I felt really conformable because of the capacities of this software; it lets me record my webcam, microphone and my screen at the same time. If I had recorded the video with my iPod this software would have let me join this video with the one that I record using my screen. This made it so easy to work on my topic but it would have been easier if I had had a faster computer. I really admire my teacher because she is the only one teacher that I know that made use of these techniques that makes a good use of the capacity of our computers.Now that I´m done with this homework I fell so free because now I can study for other topics like programming. My expectation for the presentation is good because I made a really good effort making this video so I can get a good grade in this oral exam. I took this chance to improve mi English skills so I can do my best in the TOEFL test.

My second partial video experience

Questions to be included in myfinal speech

english-in-my-future.html

• Reflection

• This was so useful to practice for my final speech and to find

the way to express myself.

• English is very important for TI people like me. No matter the

country you need to develop in English language so you can

publish around the world.
