Something I want to remember from this articles is that autonomy implies students being able to take responsibility to their learning process; being able to self-regulate. But, is important to remember as well that teachers as facilitators have to be able to respond to the needs that students have, should also encourage students to create autonomous attitudes and promote self-evaluation and self-monitoring to help them get to get to know themselves as learners.
As we learn in the previous article the importance of a CALL pedagogy is to anticipate learners’ needs. So, it seem that it demands more responsibility of students, to be more independent and self-motivated. So, from this, I want to share and remind to teaching colleagues that the role of the teacher is to offer support and preparation, this means, and is better explain with one of my favorite quotes from this article, “ the role of the teacher implies being aware of what is to be done, the reason behind it, and how to make it happen.”
To conclude, I might say that infusing technology in the classroom may contribute in a huge way to the growth in learners motivation, autonomy and thinking skills.

ResponderEliminarHi Vane, I'm totally agree with your post when you say that teachers are facilitators but the main job is done by the student. We as teachers should encourage our students and provide them (as you say) the necessary tools that would help them in the learning process. Technology is an ally of teachers in today world since the students are in constant learning not only at the school but also at home. In order to conclude my idea, I would like to say that technology by its own won't make a miracle, but if we as teachers make a correct promotion and use about it, the students will have a successful development.
