REFLEXIÓ:

Les eines digitals formen part de la nostra pràctica docent i les utilitzem diàriament. Tot i així, hi ha diferència entre les activitats que es proposen a l’aula i les que han de fer a casa. Els recursos utilitzats en aquestes activitats ja són coneguts per l’alumnat ja que són eines en les quals ja mostren cert domini i això facilita la gestió. No obstant, les activitats proposades a casa poden servir per ampliar continguts i també repassar-ne tal i com vam aprendre durant el confinament i l’època de pandèmia. Les eines digitals ens ofereixen la possibilitat que l’alumant no perdi el contacte i puguin seguir aprenent des de casa.

Cal puntualitzar que la gran diferència és el contacte entre professorat i alumnat ja que costa més solucionar els possibles problemes que es poden trobar durant el seu procés d’aprenentatge.
