•To begin with, we are going to mention the things we learned and that we liked the most about this second unit. One of the things that we really liked was to have those guests in class, we consider that it was a great idea since they know about the subjects they talked about because they made a thesis or somehow they specialized in it, and also they found the way to make the topics more appealing. Also, learning about the Instructional Methods and Instructional Media was something very useful; we have used these methods before or learned through them, but we weren't aware and now we are; therefore, in the future we can use this methods in our teaching properly.
• A suggestion could be that, as a group, we could try to take care of the time of the sessions because some of us have another class just right after this one and sometimes we are late.
• We didn't find something especially hard to learn or do; however, doing the video and some of the homeworks were the things which required more time and dedication to do.
Instructional Method: Tutorial.
"How to improve your English by singing"
We decided to make a video where we could demonstrate with one example, how someone can improve English skills through the use of a tutorial that provides some easy steps to follow. In this instructional method, tutorial, we also included instructional media like Video and Audio to demonstrate that both are close related.

The TPACK model (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge) "is an understanding of how teaching and learning can change when particular technologies are used in particular ways" (Matthew J. Koehler and Punya Mishra, 2009) As Teachers that are living in a society 2.0 we have to be aware of what technology implies in "teaching", so the TPACK modal is the most suitable model to understand how technology helps in education.
What we learned and what we liked about the first unit.
First of
all, we want to mention the things that we learn from this course. We already
have notions of technology but in this course we learn how technology is
related to education, in other words, what Educational Technology means. In
addition to that we get a notion of related concepts with Educational
technology such as the types of societies (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) and what a
knowmad is and their characteristics and a new concept about learning called
Invisible Learning. Also, we learn how
to use the technological tools that are within our reach in order to apply them
for educational purposes.
What we liked
about this course is the fact that we are learning how to use technology and
social media applying them in order to make learning more didactic and entertaining.
It was also interesting to find out through the tests what teaching perspective
we have and realize how much we know, or we don’t know, about technology.
That is, in short, the things we learned in the first unit, and we hope to keep learning a lot during the course of this subject.
