WEEK 4

In this week I learned how use a new web site called diiigo. Diigo is a social market that keeps and classifies important web sites, images etc, also I did some activities with this web site.  First, I registered in diigo and immediately I began use diigo and created six list about English language skills as listening, speaking, writing, reading, EFL methodology and vocabulary or grammar. Besides I can apply diigo to describe a web site. Then I read a web site that has    important information about ICT and UNESCO. ICT (Information and Communication Tecnology) is new resource that aids the teachers to use the technology to get an education the quality. Also UNESCO wants to can ICT in all school and that learners have access the technology and UNESCO, ICT and teachers want to develop new system in the education to ensure competent people.  In conclusion, I think that diigo is a web site very useful for students and teachers   and ICT permit us to have a better education trough   the technology.

WEEK 3

    In this week I gave a quiz about how evaluating web site. This quiz helped me to know if I understood all information about how evaluating web site, also I developed other activities. First, I read two web page     http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/researchhelp/plagiarism.html, http://www.plagiarism.org/  about plagiarism. These web pages permitted me to know what plagiarism is. Plagiarism is a form to get information, but copying exactly the author’s ideas, also I learned how avoids plagiarism.  I can use citing it lets me know the original author and their sources and materials. Besides if I want to use some ideas or sources I should apply two important clues as quotes and paraphrases. I use quotes when copying  some information exactly, for example, Joe believes that "life is slow and soft" in the country (Living Easy 288) and I use paraphrase when I borrow a idea, but in my own ideas, for example In the current paper we will be examining responses to a particular type of imposter; the vegetarian who eats meat. We chose this example because the core norm of the vegetarian is very clear (to not eat meat), and violation of the norm is easily recognized.(original)  Hornsey and Jetten (2003) investigated group responses to impostors. For the purposes of their study, the impostors were defined as vegetarians who go against the norm by eating meat. The “violation of the norm” in this particular situation is easily noticed (Hornsey and Jetten, p. 641).(paraphrase) http://library.duke.edu/research/plagiarism/cite/paraphrase.html. . In the other hand I research extra information more about plagiarism. I found a lot of, but one was important information http://writingcenter.unc.edu/resources/handouts-demos/citation/plagiarism this information was more clear. Then I research information about APA style.  APA style (American Psychological Association) is citations, rules and conventions when I use information some author, article, organization etc to avoid plagiarism. APA has the following elements: order, author(s), titles, pagination, indentation, underlining vs. Italics, Internet address.

As conclusion, it aids me to know the correct use the author’s ideas, also it    is very useful and helpful to avoid do plagiarism and  I can use in my life as student and my future life as teacher
