descriptive words canbe used to describe someone.

Procedimientos

For the elaboration of this Project it was necessary to train each grader with the implementation of new
strategies that will really boost the learners have a proactive participation during the learning process.
Some adaptations got to be done as not everybody has internet available.

It needs time to help the students focus into the real objective of the implementation of the technological tools,
not only for the projects can look better, but it may lead the students to innovate, analyze and become better
analitical citizens in regard to our demanding society.

Soon after the students follow step by step each of the guidelines provided as well as the criteria of evaluation,
they will really understand how really is that in many of the things we do, we apply the scientific methodoly:
Observation, collection of data, experiment, recording of resuls, hypothesis, theory
