I think this period was really nice because I have learned many new things, new tools that will help me as a teacher to develop more interesting activities for the students learning.
Prezi was a very nice tool to create on line presentations. I already have used that application, but in my opinion is a good one because is very easy to use and have many features that other application does not have and make the presentation more interactive and more interesting for the students.
I believe that the use of the blog was very interesting and novel because it allowed us to use a different working method on a given topic. In my case I had never worked with a blog, so this seemed pleasant experience.
Ardora was a pretty nice tool to create activities to teach students, with this application anyone can create an endless exercise of any kind applied at any level of English. It is a very useful tool because it saves many hours of work and you can use the activities that you create on line.
WIX was a very nice tool that we used in the classroom to create a web page oriented to education. Wix offers a wide range of stylish designs and will be particularly useful and easy to use. Creating a nice web page give us the opportunity to transmit the knowledge to the students in an interactive way and in contact with technology.
Schoology taught me how to use a platform to manage activities that will be implemented with students in previous classes. Schoology has many features that make easy to administrate the different tasks that will be developed with the students. Also, you can check the student’s attendance and the work they are doing in the different activities to be developed in the course.
Schoology is a very simple and easy tool to use, it is a free learning platform but also a social network for teachers and students to share opinions, resources etc. With Schoology can create groups of students , assessment tools , discussion forums , bulletin boards , and even upload their own resources include resources hosted on external platforms like Google Drive, Khan Academy , Dropbox , Evernote .
At the beginning was kind of difficult to get familiar with the different tools, but after developing some activities I got familiar with the different features that we can use and was easy to make the activities. Also, the different tools that the classmates presented were great because they showed us many resources that we can use to improve our work as a teacher.
I think that all those tools will help us to be a better teacher at the moment of using technology in the classroom.

Bill Gates
William Henry Gates III (Bill) was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. Bill was the second of three children in an upper-middle class family. He enjoyed playing games with the family and was very competitive. He also loved to read. Bill became bored in public school so his family sent him to Lakeside School, a private school, where he excelled in math and science and did well in drama and English.
Gates became interested in computer programming when he was 13, during the era of giant mainframe computers. His school held a fund-raiser to purchase a teletype terminal so students could use computer time that was donated by General Electric. Using this time, Gates wrote a tic-tac-toe program using BASIC, one of the first computer languages. Later he created a computer version of Risk, a board game he liked in which the goal is world domination. At Lakeside, Bill met Paul Allen, who shared his interest in computers. Gates and Allen and two other students hacked into a computer belonging to Computer Center Corporation (CCC) to get free computer time but were caught. After a period of probation, they were allowed back in the computer lab when they offered to fix glitches in CCC’s software. At age 17, Gates and Allen were paid $20,000 for a program called Traf-O-Data that was used to count traffic.
In early 1973, Bill Gates served as a congressional page in the U.S. House of Representatives. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and was accepted by Harvard University. Steve Ballmer, who became CEO of Microsoft after Bill retired, was also a Harvard student. Meanwhile, Paul Allen dropped out of Washington College to work on computers at Honeywell Corporation and convinced Gates to drop out of Harvard and join him in starting a new software company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They called it Micro-Soft. This was soon changed to Microsoft, and they moved their company to Bellevue, Washington.
In 1980, IBM, one of the largest technology companies of the era, asked Microsoft to write software to run their new personal computer, the IBM PC. Microsoft kept the licensing rights for the operating system (MS-DOS) so that they earned money for every computer sold first by IBM, and later by all the other companies that made PC computers. Microsoft grew quickly from 25 employees in 1978 to over 90,000 today. Over the years, Microsoft developed many new technologies and some of the world’s most popular software and products such as Word and Power Point. Although some have criticized Gates for using questionable business practices, he built Microsoft into one of the largest companies in the world. He has been described as brilliant but childlike, driven, competitive, intense, fun, but lacking in empathy.
Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world. In 2012, his $61 billion dollars in assets made him the world's second richest man according to Forbes Magazine. In 2006, Gates announced that he would cut back his involvement at Microsoft to spend more time on philanthropy and his foundation. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports many causes including the quest to eradicate Polio, fighting AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis; providing vaccinations for children; and even reinventing the toilet among many other things.
