8. Action Research – Viral Culture in the Classroom

Action research is an useful thing that helps teachers figure out what they are doing in the classroom and make it better. In our project about culture we looked at how things that are popular on social media affect the way students talk to each other behave and learn.

We found out that viral content can actually be a thing in the classroom if it is connected to what students are supposed to be learning. Things like videos, memes and talking about things online can get students more involved and excited about learning if they are used in a responsible way.


This experience taught me that teachers nowadays have to be able to adapt to the way students really live and use technology in an creative way, in education so viral culture and social media trends and technology are really important for teachers to understand and use effectively in the classroom and that action research is a great tool for teachers to do that.

This lesson helped students talk to each other and use language in a way that activities that make sense in life help students remember vocabulary better. This is because they connect what they learn with situations like giving directions. Example

7. Sanamente Libremente

The topic "Sanamente Libremente" made me think about how drugs affect students and society. Drugs like marijuana, heroin and synthetic drugs can harm your body, emotions and studies. They can also hurt your relationships with family and friends. As teachers we need to make sure students feel safe to talk about their problems and get help. Schools should have programs to prevent drug use offer support and encourage healthy activities. This way students can make choices. I also realized that teachers can make a difference in students lives,we can teach values help students understand health and boost their self-esteem by doing so we can help students stay away from drugs and live a healthy life. This experience reminded me that teachers have a role in promoting healthy habits and values, with that being said w should help students develop decision-making skills and a positive self-image. By working hard we can create a safe and supportive environment, for all students.
