From the didactic point of view it is very interesting to work in a collaborative context using scenarios in which activities are linked and distributed valuing the disciplinary skills of each student and their social skills. Sometimes I wondered if you could make confusion between objectives and tools: What does come first? Why?

# data[].attributes.body
It is always more difficult, until you put it into practice and get used to working like that. I am looking forward to it!

# data[].attributes.body
Not very clear yet, but i will come

# data[].attributes.body
Perfect explanation but scure I need to do more experience.
Good cues of reflexion.

# data[].attributes.body
Good explanation but it was a little bit difficult to understand till you put into practice.I have no experience of using iTEC Learning Activities

# data[].attributes.body
It is interesting to work on learning scenarios. A pedagogically appropriate and very useful method for students
The scenario is the context, the activities are worked in that context collaboratively in a team, ... The stories link the activities

# data[].attributes.body
Essential to itec Learning is the existence of a scenario, that is the main start. About learning activities, certeinly tehre are many, but what exactly should a learning scenario have...in terms of physical resources?

# data[].attributes.body
The best brief and clear explanation is from Oksana Nagorna, Ukraine

"Well, in theory everything is clear. First we make learning scenario which we realise through learning activities and then create a learning story based on the learning scenario and activities"
Thank you dear collegeue. When I read your comment,I saw the real summary of the course so far. Your explanation makes something clearer in my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Good explanation. I take some ideas to work in it.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a good way to improve your teaching to do a Learning process diary, describing Learning scenarious and Learning stories!

# data[].attributes.body
I havent any experience, but I find the activities usefull and achievable in a new perspective

# data[].attributes.body
OK ALL CLEAR

# data[].attributes.body
It's very interesting for students learning in this way

Very well detailed description about learning Stories and their way to  link with Learning activities.
I really like a lot the "game" learning story. My hesitation is the time! If I consider that a game for instance for SAFER INTERNET will take about 12 lessons and I do have one hour per week it seems that the project will last at least there months! And this means that the project should be multi-thematic and collaborative work with teachers of other subjects. then it will work properly.

There are an outnumber of activities, methods for the use of iTEC on the development of learning, from investigation to presentation, evaluation etc. just start!

The scenarios for teaching is an approach that aims to introduce innovative teaching practices based dsu effective use of technology. The scenarios are descriptions of teaching and learning contexts centered on the acquisition of 21st century skills. Each scenario incorporates a different set of activities. With the activities the teacher comes to write a learning story. Important is the use of technologies and decentralized role of the teacher

# data[].attributes.body
The videos and relative explanations were very clear: plan, experience, narrate and disseminate. Every story should play the role of a learning/teaching catalyst, but shall we be able to cope with all the difficulties and problems we may have to face?

# data[].attributes.body
Very clear all explications, I understand that  Learning scenario is composed of learning activities (what can be delivered in the classroom). The results of learning activities are the learning stories (an educational focused narrative).

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting pedagogical idea for educating 21th century students

# data[].attributes.body
The distinction between learning scenario, activity and story seems quite clear to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning scenarios is the context where learning actiivities take place. Leaning stories are the result of a great collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
it is very comfortable and useful for students

# data[].attributes.body
It's very interesting for students learning

# data[].attributes.body
Learning scenarios describe the context in which learning takes place. In addition, they are the basis for creating learning activities such as working in teams, collecting data out of school, creating a multimedia presentation and learning stories to provide a better learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, thanks to your comments I understood better these "learning" concepts and their relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a very nice practice. Specially I like the second experience because in that I can see a relation with the matter to be taught. Anyway, I see scenarios with a lot of technology that are not always at our hand. I hope with time they will arrive.

# data[].attributes.body
The videos are very explanatory and the concepts are expressed very clearly. No doubts about learning scenarios, learning activities and learning stories.

# data[].attributes.body
They are closely  related concepts.
Learning scenarios is the context where the learning activity takes place and describes the ionteraction between teachers, students and others people and tools used; Learning scenarios is important for the creation of high-tech learning activities and learning stories;
Learning activity are the structurate descriptions of various activities; learning stories are narratives showing how can be used together

We never work on these concepts, new to us. However, it seems to us that this way of working is coherent when our activities are intended to be conducive to the development of 21st century skills. However it seems to us that it is time-consuming work. At this point we believe that we realize the idea.

Learning activities and Learning stories are connected together and one interacts to the other

# data[].attributes.body
The most Important is learning stories.

# data[].attributes.body
The classroom scenarios is a learning experience based on emerging trends in education, society and technology.
Learning activities are elements of educational interaction and finally learning stories are produced as a result of learning activities packaged together to deliver a focused narrative on a subject. Well at least, this is my take! :)

Tiziana Panaro (Bari) Italy. From my point of view the Learning Scenarios is a really effective tool to carry out real life activities in the classroom. It is the context where the Learning activities take place. Learning activities are all the activities done in the classroom and outside the school. Learning stories are the way to use Learning activities: Teachers, pedagogical experts and students together. They are   are designed to be developed or adapted by teachers according to their educational context.Surely they are a mixture of innovation and advanced pedagogical practice with an effective use of technology. An example of a Learning Activity can be the collection of data outside the classroom or the creation of a multimedia presentation.

Learning Designer is a good and useful tool. I also use the PBL methodology for my projects and it gives positive results. i

Learning story creation is not only learning subjects also learning collobration, being team, respıonsibility, colleting data etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I am I am very grateful for the opportunity to answer my doubts and questions with my peer writings, because they  put our heads together. I guess I have understood the main idea like this.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning scenarios describes the context in which the Learning takes place and it is the foundation for the creation of iTEC Learning activities such as working n teams, collecting data outside the school, create a multimedia presentation, and iTEC Learning stories to provide more Comprehensive Learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is very useful during lesson. but it is necessary to prepare well while planning the learning stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll try to use Learning diary in my practice

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Stories are example narratives showing how a collection of Learning Activities would feel like when taken into the classroom. Learning Activities in turn are descriptions of various activities that can be used in teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what I understood...
Learning scenario is the context where the Learning activities take place. Learning activities are all the activities done in the classroom and outside the school. Learning stories are the way to use Learning activities: Teachers, pedagogical experts and students together.

# data[].attributes.body
Not so clear for me

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Scenarios are  a description of the classroom learning process based on the context, the environment where learning takes place.They have to do with the tools and resources employed in the classroom and the interaction between the teacher and the pupils.
The Learning Activities are based on the scenarios and are the concrete terms of what can be delivered in the classroom. They involve forming teams ,collecting data outside the school and creating a multimedia presentation.Finally, the Learning Stories is the result of the scenario and the activities performed.The collaborative process produced as a result of learning activities being packaged to provide a more comprehensive learning experience.They should be used by a wider group of innovative teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, in theory everything is clear. First we make learning scenario which we realise through learning activities and then create a learning story based on the learning scenario and activities.

# data[].attributes.body

I've already used the Learning Designer tool and it's really very practical and useful. Yet, when using it I thought I was 'designing' an experience rather than telling its story. The Learning stories we saw in the videos were concluded experiences, documented ones, probably also assessed ones. So, they somehow represent a successive step to the Learning Designer step - do they? Or the Learning story is meant to be only the adaptation of a learning scenario and some learning activities to a specific learning context?

# data[].attributes.body
The learning scenario is the context where learning takes place. Learning activities are all the  activities that can be used for different subjects. Learning stories are produced as a result of learning activities being packed together to provide more comprehensive learning experience within an educational focus narrative.

So if we want to have a proper operation of the learning scenarios we must create good learning activities in order to adapt learning activities to learning scenarios and vice versa, to get the best product in our teaching-learning process. Learning stories is a set of learning activities that provide us more comprehensive learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Now it's clear what the learning scenario and activities are, but I need to know something more about how to create a good storytelling

# data[].attributes.body
I need a real example to understand.

# data[].attributes.body
If I understand it properly, the use of Learning Activities leads to Learning Stories.

# data[].attributes.body
Just one question on the theoretical framework. In this submodule you define learning activities as based on learning scenarios, which include the context; yet, in the next submodule you write that the Learning Activity pattern is that of being context-independent. Shall we say that we can have context-dependent and context-independent learning activities?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Louis Alterans, Italy The learning scenario should be the context in which learning takes place, the educational activities are the activities with pupils in this context and learning stories are the story of the learning activities .

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to your contributions I have better understood the concepts presented.
We can say that we find different levels of concretion of learning ... We start from an analysis and organization of the learning scenario, to carry out learning activities well designed and consistent with the learning scenario. Concluding in a learning history that gathers the different learning activities, creating a rich and integral experience with the involvement and collaboration of different agents of the educational community.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Stories describe the context and the environment where the learning take place. Learning Stories are produced as a result of Learning Activities being packaged together. Learning Activities are based on the Learning Scenario and describe in concrete terms what will be delivered in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
iTEC scenarios are short narrative descriptions of preferable learning contexts which are set within a model learning environment. The intention is to both inspire teachers and provide them with the tools and training to carry out new practices which facilitate more engaging classrooms. The scenarios take account of the different elements within the learning environment such as the activities and tasks (what happens in the scenario); environment (where the scenario is happening); roles (who is involved in the scenario); interactions between the other elements (how the scenario happens); and resources (what is required to support the scenario).

Learning Activities are based on scenarios, proposed by teachers, that facilitate innovation in the classroom context. Learning Activities are simple stepping stones that provide concrete ideas of how we can achieve the scenarios in our classroom.

Overview of the Learning Stories

1.        Tell a Story – Narrating an academic topic through audiovisual means.

2.        Create an Object – Developing a tangible design.

3.        Create a Game – Constructing a playful activity.

Overview of the Learning Activities

1.        Dream – Introducing, understanding and questioning a design brief

2.        Explore (Benchmark/Observation) – Collecting information in relation to the design brief

3.        Map – Creating a mindmap to understand relations between the collected information

4.        Reflect – Recording audio-visual reflections and feedback

5.        Make – Creating a design

6.        Ask – Performing workshops with people who may represent future users of the design

7.        Show – Publishing and presenting de signs to an audience

8.        Collaborate – Forming ad-hoc collaborations with learners of other schools

The learning scenario should be the context where learning takes place. Learning activities are the activities done in the classrom or in the learning scenario. Learning stories are the learning activities put together!That's what I understood!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks to everybody here. I´m a bit behind with the course,  so when arrive here, I can see your comments. I have had some difficulty understanding the different concepts. However, I have finally understood after reading your summaries and ideas about Learning Stories.

# data[].attributes.body
A. LEARNING SCENARIO - broad description of classroom learning experience based on emerging trends in education , society and technology. It describes the context and environment in which the learning takes place. e.g. scenario 'A Breath of Fresh Air' The purpose of scenarios is to provide a vision of innovation in education.
B. LEARNING ACTIVITY- is based on the  learning scenarios.
e.g. forming teams, collection data outside the school, creating a multi.media presentation, sharing files, mental notes about students, working with outside experts, introduction to a theme, peer feedback, presenting results, joint course of two teachers.
C. LEARNING STORIES: are produced as a result of learning activities being packaged together to provide more comprehensive learning experience within an educational focus narrative. It is a collaborative process= input from teachers, policy makers, pedagogical experts, and representatives from industry.
is st. which is designed to be used by different teachers in different subjects
e.g. COLLABORATIVE MEDIA PROJECT
1.  TELL a STORY - through a process of digital story-telling: creating a video / animation, e.g. a video biography / book trailer
- you can adapt it to any subject
2. CREATE A GAME-
3. MAKE A BOOK TRAILER

# data[].attributes.body
I used Learning Designer in a previous Teacher Academy course .It's a great tool

# data[].attributes.body
I am not shure to have perfectly understood the utility of Learning Stories. A way to make "exportable" to other teacher the learning activities?

# data[].attributes.body
I hope, I understood well.
The learning scenario is the context where learning takes place. Learning activities are all general activities that can be used for different subjects. Learning stories are the way to use learning activities.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching these videos and experiences now I realise I have used a mixture of "A breath of fresh air" and "Learning Web tools at the Computer Lab". It was last year when we were performing /recording some plays by Shakespeare in the schoolyard. hen students used Windows Movie Maker to edit their videos

The Learning Scenarios are defined as a narrative description of teaching and learning that allows a vision of innovation and advanced pedagogical practice with an effective use of technology. Learning Scenarios are not discipline specific and are not lesson plans, they are designed to be developed or adapted by teachers according to their educational context.
Learning Activities describe, in concrete terms, the work to be done in a classroom. These innovative activities can be experienced independently or in a sequence of activities. An example of a Learning Activity can be the collection of data outside the classroom, the listening of experts about a job done or the creation of a multimedia presentation.
A Learning History is a set of interconnected Learning Activities that allow the realization of the Learning Scenario in a concrete educational context.

If I understood well, the Learning Story is created by a teacher to work a specific subject, his own objectives, context and delivery (learning activities) considering the major collaborative process (learning scenarios) that includes inputs from teachers, experts, policy makers and representatives from industry. If, in final steps, learning stories are used by a wider group of teachers in large-scale pilots to produce classroom activities, can we say this is a circular process?

# data[].attributes.body
Hope I understood well.
Future classroom scenarios is a  a wide context which includes physical environment
(inside and outside the classroom) the  technology, the social environment and relationship  among pupils and teacher. Learning activities are small blocks of activities that can be helpful to build  a scenario. A learning activity, for instance, can be a PBL which involves more subjects and different teachers or educators, and it can  develope  different skills. Learning stories are useful to contestualize learning activities into a specific classroom, context, students. They are a kind of narrative report , I think...

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not sure if I completely understand. I have to rewatch the video.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Learning Designer in a previous Teacher Academy course about PBLIt's a great tool that can be used to create something similar to a Learning Story.

# data[].attributes.body
i m not really sure to have well understood! learnin scenarios can be synthesized as the context, learning activities are the activities relly done in the class, learning stories is the way we use both them to get objectives. is it right?

# data[].attributes.body
learning story is good to be used for examples. It due to collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I understand, we have to implement learning activities into learning stories. Learning activities are there to help our students develop their skills and competences and to gain some knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
A Learning Scenario is a broad description of the innovative environment in which the learning takes place. It considers all the resources (and the relations among them) needed to allow a vision of innovation to become real in the classroom. Learning activities are the concrete instruments teachers and learners are provided with in order to turn that vision into reality. Learning activities need to be woven together through a storytelling structure that adds motivation and engagement to the learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning stories bring learning activities together putting them into the context of a concrete classroom with its curriculum and its learners. They offer the teachers of that classroom a storytelling framework where they can embed learning activities. This way teachers are allowed to adopt and adapt learning activities so that they can meet the needs of that concrete context.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning stories are being prepared in connection with technology. I prepare a scenario or plan for each course. But I do not use for every lessons on the web tools. Sometimes I only use wood and chalk. The scenarios in these videos can be used according to the curriculum and the intensity of the course. ITEC Learning stories are given on this link in Turkey (http://itecturkey.org.tr/index.php/tuem-oegrenme-senaryolar).
I think planning is the best title.

# data[].attributes.body
The video also clarifies points of the learning stories, but I'm curious to depth the topic.

the three moments seem difficult to separate. could you provide a grid with the distinction of LS, LA and LSt?

# data[].attributes.body
I have some experience with that.

It looks at how we move from innovative learning activities to more contextualized learning stories.

We have to make more concrete things and put them into the direct context of our classroom, our students, our subject and our school. This is what iTEC Learning Stories are about. How iTEC teachers have turned Learning Activities into concrete Learning Stories in their classrooms. I already use Learning Designer. It's a great tool that can be used to create something similar to a Learning Story.  Is very visual and the result can be shared easily. I think  that I understand the bigger picture of how Learning Stories fit with the other iTEC concepts.The 2nd video which provides a good overview of all the three iTEC concepts. Learning Scenario is a classroom learning experience providing a vision of innovation in teaching and learning in order to help teachers to start rethinking their practice. Learning Activities are based on the Learning Scenarios and describe in concrete terms what can be delivered in a classroom, for example forming teams, collecting data outside the school or creating a multimedia presentation. Learning Stories are a collaborative process, and are produced as a result of Learning Activities being packaged together to provide a more comprehensive learning experience with an educationally focused narrative.

I think that most of us follow these concepts but we haven't named them.We don't use a tittle ...

# data[].attributes.body
I think that most of us follow these concept but we haven't name each course of it.

# data[].attributes.body
As I see from the video, different Learning Activities are combined within a Learning Scenario to create a lesson or a series of lessons. On the other hand, a Learning Story includes the whole learning process with its learning targets and everything else that is connected with it, in other words how exactly  a Learning Scenario is applied in a specific case.

# data[].attributes.body
I have sometimes used the Learning Designer and I think it's a helpful tool. I'm not sure to have completely understood the concept of learning story. I hope it will be clear later.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a tool to discover and practice!

# data[].attributes.body
Trying to understand

# data[].attributes.body
Well I`m not sure I understand it complitely...

# data[].attributes.body
It is not easy to separate the different concepts, but it seems to me that it is very important to have these concepts very clear so we can plan innovative environments
A learning scenario identifies relevant trends working with stakeholders and the level of innovation of the school, establishes the role of teacher and student, objectives, assessment, resources, locations and people.
Learning activities result from learning scenarios and identify activities in the classroom.
Learning Stories are a collaborative process and are produced as a result of learning activities and describe the vision of teaching and learning from the perspective of the teacher or student.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope I will understand this part better in the following sections

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I have used Learning Designer to build and program my lessons. It's an useful tool because you have to list all the steps of the work. If I have understood, Learning Activities are generic activities you can use independently from age of students, topics, ETC. Learning Stories are the tell of what has happened during the lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never used Learning designer and I'm keen on trying it to build Learning stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I have already used Learning Designer, expecially to do homework on European Schoolnet academy. I tried to share that experience  with my colleagues but since that tool is only for English language speakers, it hasn't been successful, until now.

# data[].attributes.body
To my mind Learning scenarios are the foundation of learning stories and learning activities.

# data[].attributes.body
To me the most important connection is that "Learning Scenarios are the foundation of Learning Activities and Learning Stories. Learning Stories are the result of multiple Learning Activities packaged together." Did I get that right?

# data[].attributes.body
I’m a bit confused about the difference between learning activities and learning stories. After watching the first video, I thought that leaning activities are all those activities each teacher could use to develop a learning story in an innovationg learning context (the future classroom scenario). Then I watched the second video, and I understood a different idea: teachers have to design a subject coherent learning story which could be developed through innovative learning activities. So where’s the truth? I hope to have an answer at the end of Module 5.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I have seen that these are processes that allow innovation and the total involvement of students in learning. We can create innovative Learning Activities with the intention of bringing advanced approaches in learning and teaching, supported by technology, to the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the videos several times, I'm not sure to differentiate the 3 concepts clearly. I will continue reading module 5 to clarify my doubts

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not sure to have properly understood
