“If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn"
Ignacio Estrada
Chatting is a way of showing my feelings from the bottom of my thoughts and heart, as well as showing how dreams come true. When I considered becoming a teacher, I never saw how big and demanding it could be. However, I love the daily challenges in schools. Despite this, some learners show disappointment and frustration with the ability to learn.
So, it always came to my mind how to help these students?
​
At the beginning of the Master in DLL at Lamar University, I understood that the help should be for the teachers to students’ benefit. Therefore, incorporating an efficient approach to blended learning in classes will help grow the students' minds at their own pace.
Digital learning is becoming the way to teach in this modern and different time; our students' thoughts are changing, and teaching methods need to be improved and changed. Therefore, we will give CHOICE to our students with the freedom to organize and make decisions to learn.
The Master in DLL allows me to know and apply innovative methods such as COVA, becoming a challenge that I will give my students new opportunities, considering that they live in a changing world with many challenges, so they need to develop their human potential and direct that potential to master several facts and concepts to apply them in real contexts later. So, to provide students with a way to acquire skills independently and innovatively where students have CHOICE of how they want to learn, that is the way that accommodates their needs. So, students are allowed to choose their way of learning, and then they will have OWNERSHIP. When learners feel that they are owners of their knowledge and they are sure of themselves, so they can be able to show their VOICE and apply all the information and potential that they developed through an AUTHENTIC learning experience in which they have grown their mind with innovative methods that will lead them to be successful.
