I have never tried to flip the classroom but I am very curious about it. I guess there should be a lot of work behind every lesson, a lot of investigation and pedagogical research from the teacher. Students too must collaborate and be efficient, propositive, curious... I think also the class layout should be changed, in order to allow groups works, discussions, presentations etc.

Studio di caso sull'uso dei tablet da parte degli studenti con Bisogni Educativi Speciali inclusi nell'attività didattica della scuola. L'alunno ha 12 anni, soffre di una tetraplegia spastica ed è inserito con i coetanei in una classe 1° della scuola secondaria di primo grado "Francesco Petrarca" di Pontenure.

I think the best ways to get to know our students' learning styles are:

- asking themselves to reflect on it

- testing them in different ways, to challenge different skills

- observing them as they study, discuss, work, present, collaborate

- writing students' profiles about their skills and periodically revise them

I have been teaching in Comprehnsive School with students 11-14 for 8 years now and experimenting ICT since the beginning.

In my school not all classes have interactive whiteboard and our computers are quite old so I usually work in BYOD with my classes and I ask my students to bring their own tablets, either iPads or Android ones.

Most of my colleagues are not very positive about technology in school, while my students and their parents usually enjoy it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have tried different strategies to form student groups... many didn't work well or at all. In my personal experience, it is not that good to ask leading students to form their own groups by choosing their mates... this happens because students with difficulties or low popularity are left apart and chosen only in the end, which is not fair.

I prefer to form student groups by mixing different level and abilities, also putting together students that wouldn't like to work together beacause they have to learn how to co-operate with everyone, not only with their best friends.

1) What other strategies have you used to assess group work?

I haven't tried anything really new myself but I agree with Austrian teachers about the importance of self-assessment and teacher observation of work process. We cannot just assess the final outcome and deciding the evaluation criteria together wth our students can be also a source of motivation for them.

2) What are the main challenges for you when it comes to assessing group work?

The biggest challenge for me when it comes to assess a group work is about getting an idea of the single student's effort and participation to the final result.

Students are always so curious to know other mates from abroad...so I think this motivation should be taken care of and used to convoy other learning and pedagogical objectives.

I am very interested in eTwinning too and dream to start my own project very soon.

Collaboration among students is not that simple to be obtained...

The big challenges in my experience are to gather balanced and efficient groups of students, to keep them focused on their task throughout the activity and to make sure everyone is doing his/her own duty.

One strategy to solve these last matters could be to ask a person in the group to document each phase of their job, then to give each one a specific task and to ask each one to give a positive or negative feedback on their mates' work at the end of the project. This would also help the teacher to know if everyone has participated as requested.

Module 2.2 / Content creation beyond classroom activity

# data[].attributes.body
This is a kind of activity with several purposes.

Improving collaboration between students and technology skills above all, but also researching on a historic issue and creative writing...

I proposed to my students to use a common Padlet to celebrate the Holocaust Memory day, and publishing a brief bio (supported by video/photo) of a Holocaust victim or Nazism struggler. I wrote the first entry and then ask my students to follow my example with a person of their own choice.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an activity created with an App called Strip Design, useful to create comics

or photo books based on a screeplay planned by students, with pics or drawings by themselves or taken from the internet.

I have explored Edmodo several times and enjoyed all its functions, but never used it in my classes. Maybe I will try next year with older student,s aged 13-14.

I think it is especially good because it looks like a social networks (which works to involve our teen-age students) but at the same time it protects students' privacy.

It would be great to start a flipped classroom with it, thanks to the possibility to upload different kind of documents and media.

Students could also upload their homeworks or assignments. They could even ask their mates to have a look at their work (a presentation, for example) and write a feedback.

I would find it very useful to check students' homeworks.

Even quizzes might seem funnier to solve, thanks to this tool!

Challenges my school should face in near future:

- protected wi-fi connection allover school area

- technical resources

- professional development and engagement for teachers

- new rules about the use of personal tablets in school

- a wider plan about the introduction of technology in classes

I integrated tablets in my lessons because I want my class to be a part of this century and not of a history museum...

ALSO...

Tablets are useful to engage my students, showing them how to achieve academic objectives with the tools they love. Tablets also allow students to work in groups or couples, co-operating with other students even from abroad. Tablets are windows open on the world wide web and can bring different kind of news and media into the classroom. Tablets are good to encourage creativity or to document and show school products: with one single tool, even if expensive, we have an implemented notebook, a camera, a videocamera, internet connection, an art skecthbook, a calculator, a music recorder and lots more. Tablets are also useful to involve students with learning disabilities in the classroom activities, thanks to many dedicated Apps and the accessibility tools (such as vocal synthesis) you can find in every device.
