Zoom & Ethics

During this Easter vacation, each member of the group has been assigned to evaluate different learning tools necessary for the academic environment. My name is Santi and today I am here to evaluate the Zoom tool.


In January 2020 practically nobody knew about this tool founded in 2011, but everything changed during the lockdown, schools, colleges and universities needed to find a way to teach from home in the most comfortable and efficient possible way and that's where Zoom comes in. Zoom's functionality is very simple, a software that creates online calls by activating the video and even screen sharing functions.

Unlike many other programs of this style, Zoom does not put your personal data at risk and it is also very easy to access this program, just Google it and you have the official page with a download link. It also has a mobile version that is just as good but even more practical since it allows you to access the class wherever you are.

Technological pedagogical content knowledge is a framework for understanding and describing the types of knowledge a teacher needs for effective pedagogical practice in a technology-enhanced learning environment. Education is a field where digital content has become increasingly popular as well as necessary. Professionals in this field are rea...

Star(ing) to the finish line

Hii! It is Gema and Elena, the stars of the last week ☹️ First and foremost, if you would like to check our infography, please click here! Throughout this week, the whole group has pitched in to create an infography about the main competences for the Digital World.  To be honest, the presentation didn't go as bad as we initially thought it was going to be, in fact, we managed to explain all the items and our classmates actually understood it very well, which actually pleased us a lot. Actually, it is nice to leave with a nice memory of this week as we have put plenty of effort to our weekly tasks (not just this one). Just in case you are not familiar with this model we let you here a very brief explanation and reflection about what is it and its importance for teachers. Almost all frameworks emphasize the use of technology, restricted to teaching in the conventional classroom, and the ethical and social aspects only from the legal use of technology or security. After reading the do...
