Further reading - reflection on ways of learning
"Peole are constantly learning erverywhere and at all times"; Lifelong learning for all (1996, policy of OECD)".
Following these readings, formal / non-formal / informal education are complementary and quite present in everyday life. The "spine dorsal" of a teacher's formation is formal education. Much of their continuing education and the quest to evolve is through non-formal education. The joining / application of the two is done on a daily basis and is reflected in an informal education, whether reflected individually, or with others (peers, students, friends, family or others)

PLN - Personal/Professional Learning Network. I prefer Personalized Learning Network. "Colaboration is the method of learning" - "online is faster" wiht "real people; share and exchange; inject creativity; enjoy a constant flow of ideas; encourage innovation; discuss and consider controversal thoughts; develop enthusiasme and passion."
"How to Build a PLN - Spend 20 minutes a day interacting and collaborating. Here's how:

Start a Twitter account that focuses on following educators.

Build a circle of connected educators on Google+.

Follow education blogs (read and comment).

Follow education chats that are specific to your content area.

Join and participate in education groups on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Accept invitations to collaborate."

Because this; "The productivity and generosity of teachers on Twitter is inspiring and I have also become more efficient in creating and sharing resources. Collaborating with online colleagues is an enlightening experience and as teachers we should want all students to learn, not just the ones in front of us.". I think this, depend the generosity about de group. is important to chose the persons who want to follow or share our questions, works, ideas, douts, etc.

I've been using Twitter for six months and it's already one of the best career decisions I've made.

For a while, it seemed that my relationship with teaching was going to be short lived (the first rush of excitement and energy was gone and in need of resuscitation). But thanks to some of the inspiring educators on Twitter, I have fallen back in love with teaching.

Earlier this year, a colleague (@historychappy) presented a 10-minute continuing professional development session on how to expand your personal learning network. By the end of the session I was convinced by his ideas, andhave since found Twitter to be an excellent way to develop professionally

Over the past few months, I have learned so much, not only about classroom teaching but also about wider educational debates. Here's why I think all teachers should join the conversation, and some tips for getting started.

Whatever resource you are about to make, stop - open Twitter and explore what is already available. Chances are that another teacher will have created something that is perfect for you, and is using strategies you've never thought of.

The productivity and generosity of teachers on Twitter is inspiring and I have also become more efficient in creating and sharing resources. Collaborating with online colleagues is an enlightening experience and as teachers we should want all students to learn, not just the ones in front of us.

The blogs of some incredible teachers have taught me far more about my profession, and given me more practical ideas, than my MA in education did. There is some incredibly useful research being carried out in education, but I didn't encounter any of it until joining Twitter and following groups such as The Learning Scientists (@AceThatTest).

And after a few days of reading blogs on everyday practice, my approach to lessons was re-energised. I've taken many useful pointers from Rebecca Foster (@TLPMsF) especially, who blogs weekly about practical ideas for the classroom.

It's fair to say that teachers are cruelly generalised. We are often portrayed as a miserable bunch, constantly striking and always angry about the latest injustice imposed on our education system. Even to me, the word "teacher" conjures an image of an exhausted, underpaid and overworked drone, counting down the years until retirement.

But this is not the case. Teachers of all ages and nationalities come together on Twitter and they are excited about the profession, their subjects and the students they teach. I've found that if you choose to associate yourself with these types of people, you might well become one.

Looking at teachers' Twitter accounts will show you that we're a diverse group and that many reject some of the prescriptive ideas instilled by PGCE training about how to be an outstanding teacher. Some of us have come to feel that much of the advice was just preventing us from being bad teachers, rather than encouraging us to be the unique teachers we wanted to be.

Early in my career, I had a suspicion that I liked didactic teaching. My PGCE experience made me afraid of "teacher talk" but Twitter made me realise that I was not alone and that there are schools built on the principles of didactic teaching. Without Twitter, I would never have read the blogs of their wonderful head teachers reassuring me that I wasn't meant for the dark ages.

There are so many incredible teachers, each with their own approach that they are happy to share. Twitter has opened my eyes to the fact that there isn't just one teaching style. I am proud to say that I've embraced different ideas and believe my teaching has improved as a result.

With marking, meetings, parents' evenings, administrative tasks and exam entries, teachers aren't left with much time to discuss teaching practices with colleagues. But we want to talk about what works. On Twitter, it's refreshing to get an outside view, away from the politics and day-to-day conversations of your own school.

First, set up a profile. Most teachers seem to use their real names, but you can make your account private, so that students can't find you.

You'll be asked to select areas of interest: choose education, schools and anything else that takes your fancy.

Add your interests to the "About You" section, so that people with similar interests can follow you, and you can build mutually beneficial professional relationships.

Follow everyone to begin with, then narrow it down. Twitter will then recognise the types of people you engage with and refine its recommendations. I've learned so much from @MrsSpalding, @FKRitson, @fod3, @mr_englishteach and @shadylady222 about teaching English. For wider educational debates, @DavidDidau and @JamesTheo are always posting interesting thoughts.

Take part in discussions, read blogs and see what resources are around. Teachers seem to be on Twitter and chatting on weekday evenings, and most subject areas have a specific chat period. For English, @engchatuk sets up a discussion on Monday evenings that anyone can host.

Use and follow hashtags. As an English teacher, #teamenglish is essential, and you can find hashtags for your subject areas and more here .

Think before you type and remember your Ps and Qs. Remember that the veil of a screen does not mean people won't be offended.

Be a radiator, not a drain. Don't just take resources, share them too. The lovely education bubble on Twitter can only exist for as long as we keep sharing ideas and resources.

If you're already a teacher on Twitter, thank you. If you're not, I hope I've convinced you to join. I promise that Twitter will save you more time than it will ever cost you.

Spend money on technology for the classroom and school
If i have a budget of 25 000 € to spend on technology for the classroom or school, first i´ll create a group of work in politics and goals to the future of school and students (what we pretend to teaching to our students?). The priorities in Portugal and all of the globe is preparing students with tools to resolve her chalengs in the future. The chalengs, in present, in our planet is use knowledge, nature and tecnology to the climate change, to health and decrease poverty. With this priorities, we want envolve childrens in find solutions to this problems, starting in your schools and neighborhoods. this budget we helt to financiating the projects to developed in school (in the midle of the developement this projects, childrens and all involveds, we old learn to work and construct a budget - is important in ours days to construct a budget in everything whit involves money)

Reflect on the key points of a future classroom and the role of technology
All of projects we are involved in school, we use this 4points in every fases. this is the principal points of the projects, not the final goald. the way is very important to development of our childrens: use their ideias to innovate; use tchenology to investigate and expoint/apresentation the process and conclusions;  in this way we teaching our childrens tp capacitate and developed her tools/skils to your independence and critical mind, to learn and grow. (all are important in process of growing)

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
this question is very important in this days. In my personal idea is important to leave students bring their own devices to school, and class. the most childrens use your devices only for consume (app, play, selfies, etc). we, teachers, need to teach our "pupils" to use your devices, not only for consume, but also use to develop and build new and useful app, games (too improve the existences). in the end, make our pupils also programmers of their own tools or choose with criterial

Gamification isn't simply the concept of making things fun - it also has a purpose to motivate people toward reaching specific goals. Gamifying the classroom is a great concept especially for those reluctant students and if done right, everybody has a better learning experience. It's about using game mechanisms to engage your students and motivate them towards a goal. It's also about creating a safe place to fail. Before I start any new gamification strategy for students I think about this one question: How can I teach students to FAIL and LEARN FROM THAT FAILURE in a safe place?

To help you get started gamifying your classroom, our education team wanted to offer some ideas that to get started:

Implement Education Technologies - Educational technologies have come a long way from the SMART Board - and it's awesome! There are many options online, in the app store, and even at your local retailer. When you're choosing the right tool for you and your classroom, keep in mind what you want to use it for and what other functionality it has to offer. STEM Village gives you access to curriculum aligned content, curated from the best and most innovative resources available today.
