I have never tried flipped classroom, but I find it interesting. I'm trying to start with it, but the problem in my school and with my students is connections. As they live in the mountains, some of them in very small villages, they cannot have easy access to the Internet, so I find it difficult. however, councils are working in developing free wifi in these areas, therefore, I think we can be working in flipped classroom very soon.

# data[].attributes.body
I work a lot with Moodle, we have a virtual classroom where we upload the information for every lesson plan, so that the students can log in wherever and whenever they need to look for information as well as to make questions, write in the forums, and share their work. I think it is important that they work at their own pace, and that they use all the information they need. Besides, assessment and feedback are guaranteed and made easier, as you can give different deadlines according to individual needs, and feedback can be individual or not, according to what we want to achieve.But not only Moodle can be used for this, I am sure Showbie is a good app, too. With this type of apps, we can personalise our teaching and adapt it to facilitate our student's learning.

Interesting quiz... I didn't know I was Visual Learner!!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Auditory

If you are an auditory learner, you learn by hearing and listening. You understand and remember things you have heard. You store information by the way it sounds, and you have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones. You often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.

As an auditory learner, you probably hum or talk to yourself or others if you become bored. People may think you are not paying attention, even though you may be hearing and understanding everything being said.

Here are some things that auditory learners like you can do to learn better.

Sit where you can hear.

Have your hearing checked on a regular basis.

Use flashcards to learn new words; read them out loud.

Read stories, assignments, or directions out loud.

Record yourself spelling words and then listen to the recording.

Have test questions read to you out loud.

Study new material by reading it out loud.

Remember that you need to hear things, not just see things, in order to learn well.

Visual

If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are learning.

As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something, and you will find something to watch if you become bored. You may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds. You are attracted to color and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery.

Here are some things that visual learners like you can do to learn better:

Sit near the front of the classroom. (It won't mean you're the teacher's pet!)

Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis.

Use flashcards to learn new words.

Try to visualize things that you hear or things that are read to you.

Write down key words, ideas, or instructions.

Draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then explain the pictures.

Color code things.

Avoid distractions during study times.

Remember that you need to see things, not just hear things, to learn well.

Tactile

If you are a tactile learner, you learn by touching and doing. You understand and remember things through physical movement. You are a "hands-on" learner who prefers to touch, move, build, or draw what you learn, and you tend to learn better when some type of physical activity is involved. You need to be active and take frequent breaks, you often speak with your hands and with gestures, and you may have difficulty sitting still.

As a tactile learner, you like to take things apart and put things together, and you tend to find reasons to tinker or move around when you become bored. You may be very well coordinated and have good athletic ability. You can easily remember things that were done but may have difficulty remembering what you saw or heard in the process. You often communicate by touching, and you appreciate physically expressed forms of encouragement, such as a pat on the back.

Here are some things that tactile learners like you can do to learn better:

Participate in activities that involve touching, building, moving, or drawing.

Do lots of hands-on activities like completing art projects, taking walks, or acting out stories.

It's OK to chew gum, walk around, or rock in a chair while reading or studying.

Use flashcards and arrange them in groups to show relationships between ideas.

Trace words with your finger to learn spelling (finger spelling).

Take frequent breaks during reading or studying periods (frequent, but not long).

It's OK to tap a pencil, shake your foot, or hold on to something while learning.

Use a computer to reinforce learning through the sense of touch.

Remember that you learn best by doing, not just by reading, seeing, or hearing.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, I observe students in class, trying to make flexible groups because normally they adapt their role in the group with their way of learning.

I don't think we should ask our students what type of learners they are: most of us are not aware of the type of learner we are, and that does not prevent us from learning.

Adapting our teaching to their learning? Maybe in some cases it is positive, but the student should concentrate and acquire the necessary skills to learn in nearly all ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I am no etwinner yet, however, I think that students love sharing what they do, showing their work, and more if they work with other schools in other places.

If this kind of collaborative work can be done in a quick way, with a mobile device that helps them get easily connected with peers all over the world, the better.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, if students have to give explanations to other peers, they keep focused. One strategy I sometimes use is swapping students from group to group, telling the others what their original group is doing and what and why they are doing it, and why it is important in the whole of the activity or project. When you have to give an explanation, you get prepared and you pay attention to what you have to tell the others!!!

This way, all the groups know what the others are doing, and adapt their work to the work of the other groups, and they all contribute to the task.

I find it could be a good idea to make a short film compiling some folk tales known by elderly people in the area. This way, students could meet with the stories their grandparents were told when they were children, and we can help preserve the traditional storytelling of the area for future generations.

I had never heard of the concept Learning Scenario, but I find it quite familiar, since more or less is what we do when we work on a project in the classroom. However, there are some phases that I have never completed, but find very interesting, because sometimes our projects just stay in the classroom and we don't share them with the outside world.

Module 1. What classroom challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

# data[].attributes.body
In my case there are mainly two challenges I think I will have to face when using tablets:

First of all, the problem of space in schools is an important one, it will be difficult to find learning spaces for tablets. Besides, as we don't have a specific classroom for each subject, here it is the teacher who goes to the students' classrooms, several teachers share the same class, and finding a classroom layout that all of them like can be hard.

Secondly, I don't know how we can face the assessment challenge. As students can learn in different ways, the evaluation can turn out to be very difficult.

Module 1. What whole-school challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

# data[].attributes.body
Regarding my school, there are several challenges that can be difficult to overcome. First of all, the Internet access in the area is very poor (we are situated on a mountain area, rather isolated) Another problem would be the lack of financial resources,the state supports centres, but common expenses take all of the budget, and we cannot ask parents for money, because the area is rural and they are mainly small farmers. Another problem, even more difficult to cope with is some teachers' unwillingness and inability at working with ICT.

First and second challenges are only a matter of money, as soon as we find the funds, they should be easily solved.

The third challenge could be more difficult to cope with, but I have the hope that as soon as these reluctant teachers find out the things they can do with tablets in their class, they will be willing to use them. I think giving information is a must, because we fear what we don't know . Knowledge can help them start working.

Module 1. What is your main reason for using or wanting to use tablets in your classroom?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, tablets can help us in all aspects of our teaching and our student's learning. There are several reasons why I want to use tablets in my class. First of all, because we have the opportunity of teaching flexibly, classes and learning are not restricted any more to classroom, students can also learn at their own path out of school, flipped classroom would there be key to learning. Besides, students can be more creative and we can easily adapt collaborative work to our needs and to our students' needs.

# data[].attributes.body
We are a multilingual school in which Spanish, Galician (the language spoken in our area), English and French are used to teach students from 12 to 18. Each class has at least one computer, but we have not got tablets yet. We are trying to introduce the use of tablets in the classroom, and are looking for funds to do so.

We are on the Primitive Way to Santiago, so I'm working on a project to help pilgrims locate and find the most interesting places and things to see and do in the area. I'm doing it with a small group of students and we're doing it with our mobiles, because we don't have tablets. Let's hope next year they are here for us!
