Chapter 1General Rules on Creating Graphical Presentations

Pedagogical approach in the class

• Presential:• Students use the class to learn the technological tools and use them to build their

PLE. Discussion about the course content (touristic points of interest) is approached by the use of communication tools under a social constructivist theory (learning is constructed by the class as a hole, decision making and consensus building is the point).A teacher’s blog, to centralize several aspects of the project was needed and, therefore, created.

• Autonomous:• Students must acquire and collect content (ex: take photos of the touristic point

of interest), try to insert that content in their PLE, read other student’s content on their PLE and use the communication tools to change perspectives on common content.
