Una experiencia universitaria de innovación educativa con Word Clouds.

Abstract

At the University, the interactive possibilities that the new technologies related to the 2.0 web offer, are breaking the traditional space and time relationship and, at the same time, forcing the higher education to converge towards training systems that facilitate putting into practice a socio-constructivist and researching learning method. This paper describes a college experience on innovation developed into this idea, where using some of these resources allows to create a virtual learning environment where the active role of the student is stimulated. In particular, the experience goes into great detail on the exploitation of some of the tools that generate the Word clouds. Among the objectives of the practice the following are emphasized: promote the active role of the professional future of education, explore information electronic resources about the educator functions, promote the networked cognitive, reflexive and creative scaffolding, and stimulate the development of complex cognitive habilities.
