Corina has done a great job on her Learning Diary. She made sure she answred all required questions and she also cited Luis Filipe's great resource (Apps For EveryThing) and an infographic from Marina Tanasoska. Your diary, Corina, is a good decument that contains really the essential things you have been learning here. I have been also checking your lesson plan and statistics provided by LD show your students spend most of time producing content, which is very important I guess. Good job!

might be:

- providing the students access to internet connection

- not all the students posses a device (tablet)

- getting the students involved and working

- getting the parents involved

-the  teachers time to prepare the lessons

- deciding if the task is treated like a homework,  optional or a “must do”

- criteria and methods of assessing

# data[].attributes.body
I think I have used flipped classroom without tables or ICT. I use to assign my students into reading short stories or novels I give them a reading diary with a quiz and some objectives and afterwards in class we discuss the plot and other tasks regarding understanding the story literary speaking  and emotionally. It is a very interesting idea the flipping of the classroom but not all my students have the necessary tools to apply it.

Thank you Marina Tanasoska, Macedonia!

Learning

scenarios in not a new concept for me, is new the structure: DREAM, EXPLORE, MAP, MAKE, ASK, RE-MAKE, SHOW. I have used learning scenario in developing a lesson plan or a unit. I will reconsider  the concept and apply it. It is very interesting .

Thanks to Carina Costa  from Portugal

CREATING A CONTENT

I have created only power point presentations, videos and
photos not edited and I presented them to the children. Thanks to my peers I have
discovered and I am still learning to use some apps like: Prezi, OR codes, Tellagami,
Powtoon, Posterini and many others. I am very enthusiastic about this, I find it
very interesting and useful.

Felling proud!

My very first content created with tablet:

As the cognomen "The Impaler" suggests, his practice of impaling his enemies is part of his historical reputation. During his lifetime, his reputation for excessive cruelty spread abroad, to Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

To gather information about my students’ learning style a use initial tests and progress tests and constantly observe their activity and the success of the methods and tools of learning I use, of course the feedback I receive. I don’t believe there is only a learning style the  individual use, people find one better because of their capacities, but in the learning process we use all senses stressing onto the multiple intelligence one has . People are aware of their type of learning doe to their experience; the teacher can identify the personalized type of learning of his students in time after applying different teaching strategies and assessments.

I have especially evaluated group work by its content

product and trough ought the students’ self-assessment. The tasks reflect the goals and the objectives I have set for the final product, so fulfilling each step is a way of assessing the group work.

The main challenges when it comes to assessing group work are:

- The objectivity/ the impartiality

- Establishing the criteria for assessing

- The insufficient  time to discuss the achievement of the goals and grades with the students

You really need pedagogical skills and a good strategy

to keep students focused and on track during collaborative projects. I have set for my students a sett o rules, supervise their work carefully. Especially when I set my objectives and activities I prepare myself for the unexpected, I always have something extra to do,  just in case I need it, I am not afraid of challenges and I consider I am good in improvising. During any lesson the big risk is that some students get bored because they have finished the task earlier than the others, or many of them consider the task too easy. Not all the children in the class have the same rhythm of work or the same skills so I think at something especially for those situations.
To ensure all students contribute to the task I divide the work of the group, I set goals, I distribute tasks or I require a leader which will coordinate their work. In collaborative learning it always has to be a certain type of competition among groups so they are excited and willing to do their best.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually organise my students into groups by different

criteria or number of pupils in one group. When I use homogeny groups, I chose which student goes into which group, I want to assure a group has students with different skills and different levels of knowledge; and in this situation all groups have the same tasks and are able to fulfill it. Another way is to make different groups considering the level of knowledge and the skills of the students, so in the same group are children able to do personalized tasks this way I do differentiated work and in the end the groups make a hole assembling their work. Dividing students into different groups is a good way of learning especially for the children with difficulty of learning because they cannot face the challenges like others and they are not able to cope, they are usually left behind in homogeny groups or others do their work.

The numbers of students into groups vary from 4 to 6 members so I have 6 to 4 group. Other time we work in pears, they are allowed to choose their coworkers only when it involves a creative task, the student’s criteria is doe to their affinities and I don’t find this efficient in other situation.

I have used the student’ s tablets in the teaching

process several times. But I am sure my students have used tablets for preparing their homework and different projects, power point presentations, videos and photos. I teach mother tongue (Romanian) and Romanian literature, so I had a demonstrative lesson with the theme on ,,school essays- book versus e-books”. The class was divided into two groups, because not all the students had their own tablets, and I wanted to prove that there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides. They were asked to make an invitations and to send it. The lesson was a real success, the children were encouraged to use tablets for learning not only for games.
The heuristic discussion is a good method to introduce the modern tools and apps into the learning process, the students themselves discover the benefits and how to use them.

# data[].attributes.body
I anticipate
facing some classroom challenges when using tablets, since our school hasn’t implemented
yet this tool in the learning process, I can only consider my experience in the
ICT lab. It is a challenge to keep my students “steady” when we talk about new tools
of learning, they are willing to finish the work quickly, they are very enthusiastic;
so in this connection I must make some special rules and identify the tasks and
the pedagogical approaches that offer me the possibility of making a good
scenario planning progress and finally persuade my objectives, my goal at the
end of the lesson. Much of the activity
of the students it is individual in using a tablet, but it must be well coordinated
and pay attention to formative assessment and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Since tablet
is not a tool implemented in the scholar system as the whiteboards or books it
will take some time to become a normality/ a necessity provided by the system. This
involves the existence of another curriculum adapted on multidisciplinary
objects. Firstly the students and the teachers must learn haw to use the ICT
and the applications. This requires special trained teachers and courses
adapted to each educational system of every country. Everyone has access to
tablets, laptops, PCs and smart phones, but especially the apps for those are not
available in your mother tongue. Children learn to use it by intuition and I think
is not always the most efficient way.

The challenges I might be facing when using tablets in
my school are:

-Including in our school development plan the
implementation of tablets

-Involving our colleagues

-Providing a space and a wireless connectivity

-It is hard to find a pedagogical support according to our
need

-We need special app and tools according to our
curriculum and on our mother tongue.

M1. Q1.

I want to use tablets in my teaching because I find it
a necessity. The informational technology provides us such good tools, the
children nowadays are captivated by IT and I cannot use the “old school”
methods and willing to create an appropriate learning situation. I consider the
teacher must be open minded, innovative, creative; this is what tablets in my
teaching process offer. The children love it, it is already part of their life.

My school and classroom

The school from Filipestii de Tirg, near Ploiesti, is
a small one, yet we have an ICT lab with 20 PCs, an internet connection by
cable and in some classes we have access to a PC and a video projector. My students
range is from 11 to 15 years old.
