BLOG/APRENDENDO COLABORATIVAMENTE

FIRST TEXT: From January 16th until 22nd: AUDI, L. C. C. ; Basso, Ana Paula ; MATEUS, E. F. . APRENDENDO COLABORATIVAMENTE POR MEIO DE FERRAMENTAS ELETRÔNICAS: UMA PRÁTICA PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE DOCENTES. Travessias (UNIOESTE. Online), v. 04, p. 350-365, 2010.

1) Broadly speaking, in this text the authors describe a Project they have been developing at Londrina State University with a Public School, which is very similar to our PIBID Project. Also they claim one of their aims is to promote the meeting of "The world of life to the world of theory" that means, to approximate the University to Elementary Public Schools. What I guess is also our objective, isn't it? So, I look forward to hearing from you all, what do you understand by this meating and also what do you believe being necessary to reach this?

2) In order to reach their objectives they act in three ways:
1) Exchanging the roles; 2) Letting themselves be transformed by each-other and with another person; 3) Working collaboratively, that means "creating work with each-other", producing locally meaningful knowledge. I would like you to discuss how do you understand these 3 points.

3) Finally, I would like to highlight some more specifics parts of the text, such as those where the authors claim that the TSCH (THEORY SOCIAL-CULTURAL-HISTORICAL) begun by Vygotsky points that "learning occurs through the social practice between individuals" and nowadays it is developed by lots of researchers, such as Lave, 1996, Matusov & Hayes, and others, who state that "Teacher Education is a collaborative procces". In my oppinion, in their community of practice, their blog revealed how their identities were so changed and also re-created, only because of their work based on this theoretical background.
I do believe that, because my identity has been re-created too, not only every single time I go to School and teach with our pairs, but also in each discussion we have at the University on Monday mornings. I mean, I am always learning. In fact it is a dialetical process of learning!

American English X British English

Assim como existem algumas diferenças notórias entre o português do Brasil e o português de Portugal, podemos afirmar que também existem algumas diferenças entre o inglês americano e o inglês britânico. É possível notar diferenças de vocabulário, como também diferenças de ortografia e pronúncia. Na lista abaixo podemos perceber algumas diferenças básicas entre o inglês americano e o inglês britânico:

American English (Inglês Americano)	British English (Inglês Britânico)	Tradução
airplane	aeroplane	avião
analyze	analyse	analisar
apartment	flat	apartamento
bathroom	toilet	banheiro
behavior	behaviour	comportamento
catalog	catalogue	catálogo
candy	sweets	doces
cell phone	mobile phone	telefone celular
cookies	biscuit	biscoito
color	colour	cor
downtown	town centre	centro da cidade
elevator	lift	elevador
eraser	rubber	borracha
fall	autumn	outono
flashlight	torch	lanterna
gas	petrol	gasolina
gray	grey	cinza
labor	labour	trabalho
lawyer	solicitor	advogado
liter	litre	litro
mailbox	pillar box	caixa de correio
mom	mum	mamãe
movie	film	filme

program	programme	programa
railroad	railway	ferrovia
sidewalk	pavement	calçada
sneakers	trainers	tênis
street	road	rua
subway	underground	metrô
tire	tyre	pneu
truck	lorry	caminhão

Como vocês viram, pode acontecer de palavras diferentes corresponderem a uma mesma coisa, ou melhor, a um mesmo objeto, é o caso de “subway” e “underground”, que são usadas para se referir ao metrô. Há também algumas diferenças sutis na escrita, que acabam por diferenciar as palavras, é o caso de “grey” e “gray”, ambas usadas para se referir à cor cinza.

Achei interessante e válido partilhar. Algumas diferenças, como ela compara com o português de Portugal e o português do Brasil, do mesmo modo acontece com o inglês.
