1. SOCIAL MEDIA was created to can communicate and have an access to
people we are far away . where we can talk without direct contact. this media
can influence in our lifes since we do not need a direct conctact to talk with
somebody else.
WIKIS is a collaborative web page where studentds can contribute to create
ideas with information that you find in others pages .studentds participate
actively in their process of learning.All are paart of a team. wikis brings new
tools and innovative applications for studentds of all the world.
BLOGS is a personal space where students can create their own world .it has a
collective means of communication ,also you can share videos, images and
other users can see your posts or comment on them. Blogs help to improve
your ortography , grammar ,ect. And also it Increases communication between
students..
The learning is more efective when students have a really active commitment ,
students have to know that interaction is the base of this tools and that they
have to be involve in all the process. Also those tools help the studentds with
their differents learning styles because they learn in his own way and now they
could have a lot of alternatives. Students are involve actively in their learning.
With those new strategies the problem of been in touch with your classmate will
never be the dificult part because you can share ideas inmediatly and
have their feedback at the same time.
Also this interactions help teacher to give students feedback inmediatly and to
focus in each part of students contributions. so they do not have to wait for the
next class to talk with the teacher .Time is saved and learning is achieved.
Finally we can say that all this improvements help studetnds and teacher to be
in contact in many ways ,share ideas ,work as a team ,and the most important,
all this improvements make that students be one step beyond to obtain great
results
Constructivism theory focus on the construction of the learning
through activities in a variety context that means that every student
must construct his or her own knowledge in his or her own mind
through stages.Futhermore the learning process of the student will
be active because they build their own knowledge and it is important
that the teachers provide the parts,give guidance of how to construct
knowledge out of these parts in differentways.

2. According to Vygotsky states that every function in the child’s cultural
development appears two times : first, on the social level, and later, on the
individual level it means that first,between people which is
interpsychological and then inside the child which is intrapsychological.
Also he said that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the
process of cognitive development. Moreover, learning must be focus on
three major themes regarding social interaction,the more knowledgeable
other it refers to anyone who has a better understanding that it could be
teacher or the peers and the zone of proximal development that is the
distance between a student’s ability to perform a task under adult
guidance and the students solving the problem independently.
Constructivist learning environment provide some characteristics that make
unique this approach:
-Learners construct their own knowledge beginning with what they already know
and exploring through reality.
-other characteristic is that we as a educators must take into account the
authentic tasks which students could have a near contact with the real context.
-teacher have to use something that sudents know such as what they do in their
daily life or their routines as an aid to construct knowledge from the real life.
-Constructivist learning environments foster reflection on experience
-The useful way that they learn significantly is by the collaborative construction
of learning and not by the competition among students.

knowlegde .Those tools called TICS have change verything include Education
part.As we say Educacion changes in his nature ,form of teaching, and also
change the theacher role. This new tools that teachers have, they help in the
interaction between studentds,promote creativyty and stimulate learning.This
new kind of learning give us information in real time.Also permit us to be
conected outside classrrom activities, or maybe make video conferences.
Nowadays we do not need to carry books anymore .
The use of laptops in scolar activities make studetnts express their self since
tecnology has an ilimitate access to information. Moreover it facilitate
coommunication since students expose their experiences in a better and more
open way between people in real world.
