A very interesting activity,
Of course we need implication and inovation.
All the best

It's undoubtely a very interesting project but I think it's not possible to adopt it in our schools because there are so many challenges to face and our school system is not prepared to realize such a change.

Very important initiative, but it was taken nationally! That´s what I call "investment in education". Is this the reality in some European countries? No! That's for sure!

# data[].attributes.body
the work carried out was very interesting but unfortunately we are faced with the lack of involvement and innovation

# data[].attributes.body
The activity is certainly interesting but often in our schools we need support to realize the modern changes.

The great resource is the classroom.Involving the pupils, working in groups, being flexible as a teacher, these are the ingredients for a successful teaching/learning process

I understood that the main challenge is that you have to change your teaching perspective: it must be flipped. The starting point is not the topic/rule to learn itself but how you arrive at the conclusion.

# data[].attributes.body
last year we made a math project in collaboration with the applied mathematics department of the University of Naples Federico II with three second year of high school to the strengthening of the horizons of mathematical literacy processes. It has been very educational for us teachers and very stimulating for students who appreciated how mathematics enters the problems of daily life, as in many matters of etc..oltre sports economy of science. They have also strengthened the skills in the interpretation of the Cartesian and statistical graphs

# data[].attributes.body
A very important point in this example is that the math project was national. So that the whole school was organising the reform. Without that, it's more difficult to convince the whole maht department to build this new way of teaching

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting testimony and especially notice the enthusiasm for what has been done. Compliments!! I am thrilled with you. I find it enlightening that you have to push students to justify their solutions, rather than provide answers.

The exchange of ideas , is important not only in Maths, but to all knowledge

In a global world where techonology helps to share experience and results you can not remain isolated in their class and in their own certainties.

# data[].attributes.body
Having the whole school involved and the school board support should be key

# data[].attributes.body
I usually propose Geogebra to my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is only natural for a math class to be teacher centered as it doesn't necessarily deal with what the students feel about a certain topic or demands much of a collaborative effort. However as exemplified in the video, Project Based Learning is able to overcome certain obstacles and challenges. The assessment stage would be considerably difficult to grade since mathematics is an exact science and there is little or no room for error when making one's calculations.

# data[].attributes.body
The teachers' reward to the project must have been huge, and compared to the major challenge they had to face. Thank you for the top tips Sandra Fay, and congratulations to you all. In my school the experimentation level is still low, but we have started many hours of teacher training courses in Italy these days. Personally I'm trying to flip the classroom and experience easy and quick twin projects with foreign countries through Mystery Skype.

# data[].attributes.body
I miss training facilities for teachers in my country.
I'm totally agrre with  find new resources and new content to introduce PBL. Obviously, if society change, if word change, school and teachers need to change roles.
The experience of Sandra Fay it's usable to other ages, subjects or projects, so any teacher can aply this knowledge to other experiences. In primary school I allways try to work transverally more of one subject at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Watching this video I realize that the whole school needs to make some changes in order to introduce PBL approach in their school or at least all the teachers of a common subject-they have to work together in a team.I am wondering how long it took to make all those changes in the school that this Maths teacher is talking about.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very inspiring and encouraging.The teacher should know the ways about how they can lead the students to collaborate and think critically.we should apply for web2 tools or virtual class to practice the collaborative tasks well

# data[].attributes.body
very interesting experience but I would like to know more about how teachers organised their project based lessons. I knew perfectly the theory, I really need examples now

# data[].attributes.body
This video talk showed me that is it possible to change not only our teaching way, but the teaching way of an entire nation! This make me feel hopeful: if we all work togheter towards this goal,  maybe we can do the same in our Italian school system!

# data[].attributes.body
The key to the success of the project was mainly "the effective collaboration between teachers, the department head, the principal, the regional development officer": I think this is not always the case, since not all stakeholders are willing to put an effort into changing things, and innovation is often left to the (unpaid) initiative of few teachers/headmasters

# data[].attributes.body
This presentation shows that each subject is not an island, and it’s possible to connect subjects in shared learning projects that improve enthusiasm both of students and teachers. In my opinion it’s a good example of what we should do in our everyday teaching experience.

applying these new methods with our students, we can revive the passion for the study, and the pleasure to collaborate and share with others their achievements.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with my italian colleagues. I feel the same! We are few in my school who try new methods, collaborating, sharing experiences. It's so hard change certain minds!

# data[].attributes.body
There is no change without the strategies described in the video talk 3:
-collaboration among the department
-intensive school support
-supportive leadership
-team teaching
-use of IT to support learning.
I hope in Italy, all together, collaborate to make change possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the cooperation of all parties is important to make a real change in the school. The Project Maths in Ireland is very significant and useful for all of us.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, I'm completly alone. It's difficult collaborate in department with my colleagues. Everyone has their ideas and do not want to change them

# data[].attributes.body
There is no doubt is my mind that it is possible to chance the way we teach. However, it is necessary to make some changes in our mindsets first. Teachers need to see the advantages of collaborative work and start sharing their success but most of all their failures so that we can all grow and learn from them.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting, it allowed me to grasp other aspects of PBL. I'd like to see, however, examples applied to the primary school.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborative sharing of ideas and resources among colleagues could be wonderful for us...but i really find difficut this point. here in italy with th oldest teacher is very complex this theme!

# data[].attributes.body
A school of Quality I would say. How different would have been schools if the five strategies that members of staff followed were adopted from all schools

# data[].attributes.body
I find a lot of good ideas from theese video.
But are there examples for the first grade?

# data[].attributes.body
Very well described - I would like to start introducing more project based learning. I also use Edmodo and allow peer learning environment as students and teachers can collaborate, share resources and learn from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Great advice. The sharing of materials and mental resources is essential. The biggest obstacle for people like me who is used to teach with other strategies is to rethink my way of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
It is really true. The fellowship among colleagues of the department is the winning key to educational success. Moreover a sentence of the video made me reflect ..... Encourage students to discuss maths and justify their solutions .... I will adopt this strategy in my activities

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration is a nice way to teach through respect.

# data[].attributes.body
A very interesting project. working in a collaborative way is a powerful method and the students improve their competences!

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know how do real example to my students.

# data[].attributes.body
The problem focus is to find new strategies which allow teachers to really INVOLVE students in their learning experience. Collaboration, problem solving, sharing contents, use of ICT is the right way.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a very amazing project! in my opinion the collaborative method is a very powerful point !

# data[].attributes.body
Sandra highlighted a really important topic! It's the support from the whole school, the leadership. Huge changes can be achieved if all (at least most of) the teachers are engaged! In previous videos we were talking about the collaboration of the students and I really liked that Sandra mentioned the importance of collaboration among teachers. Enough TIME is also the essence of it! Having enough time to make a new syllabus, find new resources will make the work more effective, and changes can come easier. I often experience the lack of time in my job, and I think it's really important part of quality education.

Teachers' enthusiasm in learning and improving the new role of facilitators isnecessary to change.

# data[].attributes.body
A useful video showing  how to apply in class the new approach.

# data[].attributes.body
To achieve an effective project-based learning, there are many aspects that teachers can re-think in their work:
1) the teacher's role in the classroom;
2) how to improve collaboration and cooperation;
3) planning and organizing resources
4) support and scaffolding
5) assessment

# data[].attributes.body
It is rilevant and suggestive the part about new teacher’s role  in classroom, collabortion made by sharing resources, intensive school support. Collaboration beetween teachers is very important to help students finding and showing theire competencies and skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The experience Sandra Fay shares with us on the implementation of Project Maths in Ireland, as well as the top tips she provides us about how to develop new skills through teaching  (problem-solving, higher order reasoning and sense-making) are extremely important.

At St Marks Community Maths (Irland) teachers had a dilema: to embrace the challenges or  do nothing and stay as they were. They chose to change with enthusiasm and to adopt a new approach of teaching.

“There was an appetite for change in my school”, “As a school we were excited about the reform”, "We chose to embrace the challenges, and we were able to meet them thanks to five effective strategies [collaboration among the department, the intensive school supor, a supportive leadership, team teaching, the use of IT to support learning]”, says Sandra.

An inspiring experience! With teachers like these, who are afraid of change?

# data[].attributes.body
An interesting experience, which shows how important it is to work with teachers and students. I take video and gather - i will!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this watching project is important for students and teacher for a good learning process

# data[].attributes.body
Team work is essential for students but also for teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
To realize the collaboration among the students is an extraordinary exeperience for them, because I see that they can become more creative and critical. Moreover, to see the teachers that share their experience is encouraging for us, because we can hope that it is possible to realize the collaboration among the teachers, even though there are many difficulties to overcome.

# data[].attributes.body
Weel done! All you need is a good team really well matched and open to get involved in a really new and challanging field. Why can't I see something and someone like this around me?

# data[].attributes.body
What I would like to highlight from this video is teachers' cooperation. That is absolutely fundamental!

# data[].attributes.body
It is well evident in our contemporary school system that if teachers cooperate and agree on the necessity of a change in their way of teaching, students will be more involved and better supported in working together.

# data[].attributes.body
While watching this video, I started thinking how long time it took to introduce this approach... Must have been a long time, first of all to design the idea itself, to involve the teachers and then to change the students' way of perception. In the video it sounds encouraging but in real life it must be a real challenge, hopefully, rewarding...

# data[].attributes.body
The collaborative work is greater than the individual sum!

So it is worth the while and most times the fun and the troubles are shared too.

# data[].attributes.body
Amazing how with so few resources, this school could achieve so big and rewarding results! Well done!

She says one of the keys of their change at her school was collaboration between teachers. Tehy felt that something didn't run, the system wasn't going well and when they had a chance to try something new, they said "Yes, I want do it", but they were excited and frightened at the same time. However, they started. And every body took a part in the process. So, we can understand that sharing and collaborating is the first we must bear in mind to get our objectives.

# data[].attributes.body
That sounds great but, as the speaker pointed out, it wouldn't have been possibile withouth the Principal's support and consequent flexibility and resources. You can do it in your own class but only to some extent if the Whole department does not share the project.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration between teachers can help alot. It is more difficult if you are alone when you try to implement something new.

# data[].attributes.body
The effective strategies are really interesting and important to make students to be more active in their learning process...but it seems to be so hard to have all of them in a school

# data[].attributes.body
To teach Math or an other subjects in the traditional way does not give special results. I was impressed by a statement of a trainer: "If you teach in the traditional way you only get results with the good guys because they interpret a role", but they are not really involved. Stimulating environment, connections across the subjects, different strategies, discuss and justify solutions involve the students in the learning.

# data[].attributes.body
We need suport of school and modern changes.

# data[].attributes.body
I also had evidence that problem solving in group work makes the students more motivated and encourages discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very useful to know how the Irish school faced the problems involved in implementing this new approach. As far I can see, more or less, we share the same problems. For this reason it is important to learn from other teachers' (positive)experiences. We all feel "a sort of appetite for change" but we don't really know how to shift from a teacher-centred approach to a student-centered approach.
The Irish experience shows also how important is to be supported when you're making efforts to move forward

I´ve been really thrilled by Irish example of implementing new learning approach. ithout these effective strategy would be difficult to achieve great results. Team teaching is a great solution for all those colleagues who resist or are afraid of new approaches

To start this kind of work, teachers should change the way they work: we should collaborate and share more. We should be enthusiastic about this way of teaching. If students feels it, they will embrace this kind of work.

I think that the key is "encourage students to discuss and justify their decisions" not only in maths but in everyday life in what they do at school and out. To involve teachers, Head department, the principal, students and the regional development officer was the success of that maths project  in Ireland. It is an excellent example to share and imitate.

The video is really interesting since it encourages Maths teachers to work in team and adopt collaborative learning. My Maths colleagues generally use Geogebra and also edmodo in their classes. They, however, should implement their teaching and learning methods with PBL.

# data[].attributes.body
Very good example! It could be more interesting and helpful to see it in practice, especially the teaching practice, involvement and engagement of students. Great to have a school leader who encourage and enable his teachers to collaborate and implement new ways of teaching.

I agree with Basilio. The most important thing is the change of the teacher's role. The most of my colleagues always teach in a traditional way: they only transfer knowledges. The concept of competence is far from their teaching approach. I always use in my lessons PBL, but I often feel alone in my school. There isn't a whole school support and there is a collaborative sharing of resources only with a few colleagues. I think it's very useful to learn from each other's expertise, but the most of my colleagues don't think so. In my school there is too much individualism.
I use Edmodo too, and like Alessandra I can say it's a very useful tool. Students feel more involved and also my relationship with them has changed.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration among teachers must be essential in the schools. But, it's not always possible. A lot of collegues do not want to share their time/their spaces/their resources.

# data[].attributes.body
We need plenty of time to organize a PBL activity in a school team if we want to collaborate among different disciplines in an effective way.

Interesting experience that shows how important is to work as a team, both for teachers and for students
