Hello Šárka OpatováIs is really amazing having feedback from our Mooc collegues. You did this experience even better! Thank once more for your words.
I know is not asked to review your Learning Diary, however because I am a curious person i couldn't resist reading yours. So I must say I found it very interesting and dinamic, you made me want to try Sock Puppets with my students too. Very funny indeed.
I linked yours' LD because i want to try all your apps suggestion and continue learning with you. I can't agree more with you about Luís Filipe suggestions. Aren't they great?!! Plus he's still sharing more and more ! Amazing what people knows and what i still have to learn.

Hello Margarida,

charming photo, btw.

I thought that your first name is Fortuna.:) Sorry I greeted you in the lesson review 'Hello Fortuna':)

By mistake I reviwed only the lesson plan and submitted it. So I am posting a diary review here.

Thanks to the ACTIVITY 1 in the padlet I understood more your lesson plan. After reading Activity 1 I know that students should bring from home old photos of school events.

After reading the lesson plan, I realized that you are special-needs students teacher. I come from a different backgroun-my students are gymnázium students-chosen from the most talented. Special-needs teaching is very challenging, in my opinion. On the other hand, I must think how to support my high-achievement SS to use their potential so we have it similar a bit.

At the first look your padlet looks very good and it is evident that you have followed the structure of the course. You have added tools and interesting info that you came across and mentioned other colleague and his padlet. You were also creative. In the ACTIVITY 2 you used Story board for writing dialogues-inspiration for me to try in my classes.

Nice 'Thank you' at the end of your padlet.

I looked for Luís Filipe as you have mentioned him .He has so many things in the padlet. I have put it to my diary.

Great video about Aletenjo.:)

Your school situation: resistence to use tablets by some teachers and parents- the same with us

This course was a wonderful experience! My English proficiency level prevented me from making more comments about the work of my colleagues, as well as to expose some of my ideas though. What was more exciting for me and surprised me most was the continuous sharing/ suggestions of applications. A big thank you to all for that.
The course organization team and their permanent feedback was also great and i think it is fundamental to turn this learning experience so extraordinary. Thank you to them all.
I followed closely Luis Filipe's Learning diary and posts on facebook, i found so many good suggestions so he is the most quoted in my work and my vote are going to him.
I am glad that I've decided to participate in this Mooc I am sure that this only one of many.
Wish you all the best, till a next time!

" Flipping the classroom does require quite a new approach to lesson planning and preparation from us and can therefore be quite daunting. But while the first steps might seem steep, once you have a good setup, it actually becomes increasingly straight-forward."

In my point of view the downside of Flipping to SEN students is their lack of autonomy to home assignments, most have very short periods of concentration. Their difficulties to access to the technology can be an obstacle too.

Evidences of the benefits of using tablets for SEN students.

# data[].attributes.body
Tablets can be used to personalise the learning experience of your SEN students, as it is easier to individualize instructions and track students' needs.

This devices help differentiate between different styles of learning and learning abilities and give alternative ways of accessing and presenting knowledge to those students that struggle with traditional ways.

Software allows skip parts they are strong and spend more time on parts students struggle with.

2. Review by Iwona Moczydlowska

Dear Margarida, I am pleased to read your Diary. It is complete, well structured, clear and informative. It shows that you devoted a lot of time and thought to the course. I've learn a lot from it, especially about the world of SEN education which is quite unknown to me. Your personal experiences and reflections are an added value of the "Creative use of tablets in schools" course. Your lesson plan demonstrates comprehension of the course concepts. The teaching context is well explained. The aims, outcomes, activities and tools are coherent and meet the needs and capabilities of the students. Best wishes, Iwona By the way, A couple of years ago I spent 2 days in Evora and I have to say, that I love the charm of this town.

"The reaction of teachers to the adoption of new learning technologies varies enormously, but there is general consensus that without a clear strategy to support teachers to develop their pedagogical approach to make the most of the technology investment in tablets students will not achieve the educational benefits hoped for"

Literature review:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Scenarios and Learning Stories will play an essention role in the Creative Classrooms Lab project. For the scenario development, the project builds on the expertise of the iTEC project. This flagship project on the design of the future classroom, which is also coordinated by European Schoolnet, is providing a Future Classroom Scenarios Toolkit that is being used by participating Ministries of Education in the CCL project.

This outcome of this process will guide the CCL teachers in the use of the tablets during the first round of pilots starting in November 2013.

Literature review

In preparation of the development of the scenarios, the e-Learning Foundation has carried out a literature review. This literature review identifies and documents results of published 1:1 studies related to a number of key themes, such as innovative and creative pedagogical use of tablets for collaborative learning, active learning, personalisation, engagement and assessment. Download the literature review here (v. July 2015)

The paper ' Tablet use in Schools' (v. February 2015) focuses on specific characteristics of the tablet.

There really is no typical day in my job as I am constantly required to adapt lesson plans to meet pupils' individual and varied needs. The best part is that it is so rewarding and I am able to build really close relationships with pupils, understand their needs and challenge them.

Hello everyone!

I'm a special educational needs (SEN) teacher.

Amongst other things, I love knowing other people, countries and cultures. Photography is my biggest passion but i also am a cinema, music and literature lover.
Is proved how much technology offers a variety of built-in tools and help people with disabilities to improve their life path so I'm trying to explore and learn as much as i can to teach and help my students.
