Without any doubt peer review is aboyt developing 21st Century Skills: It is a tremendous creative endeavour that implies collaboration, critical thinking and communication. Everybody's opinion is important and counts, no matter your expertise in the subject delat with ; even basic questions can help to improve. Just one thing to be taken into account: when peer reviewing, always be constructive.
peer work among colleages is an easy thing to do. And peer work among students would definitely be a challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
Procedure:
Day 1
1. Arrange the students in groups of 4. Each group has to find out information of one the countries/carnivals listed below.
2. The groups, in class, agree on how they are going to develop their investigation and on a deadline to put in common their findings.
3. If necessary provide links to the students so they can begin their investigation at home.
4. They share a padlet so they can add their findings.
Day 2
5. The students analyse their findings and decide on the best way of presenting them to the rest of the class (infographics, interactive poster, presentacion, etc).
6. They prepare their presentation assigning each member of the group a role so that all of them take part in the presentation and their work is interdependent.

Module 3: Collaboration in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Arranging the students in groups doesn't neccessarily imply collaboration. Collaboration implies working together, providing feedback, sharing possibilities, taking decissions... skills that the students will need in their future jobs in adult life so, why not developing these skills from school?
I real life you depend on collaborating with others, and the more you learn from others the better.

The experts' opinion although different in some details all share the same principle: Learning involves interaction.
No doubt, video, audio and images in general will have an important part in learning-teaching and the classroom will turn into social places where to interact with others and most importantly, learn from others.
Techology will have a key role and computers will be as common as notebooks.
The role of the teacher will be different. Teachers won't be just the person who tells the students what to do but they will be more mentors and coaches who will lead the way so that students can work on their own projects.
The students will be producers of their own learning, they'll work in teams ans will shares their findings with others.
Hopefully, this what we consider innovative nowdays, will be mainstream in a few years' time.

MODULE 2: The role of trends and stakeholders

# data[].attributes.body
It is esential to get the local and national administration involved. Teachers do realize that a change is needed in education. Society moves faster than ever nowadays and there is an URGENT need for INNOVATION in EDUCATION (in capital letters). As far as the national education administration insist on imposing traditional exam policies and rigid curricula, teachers will have a diddicult path. So, from my point of view the "order of involvement" can be this: 1º-School management & teachers; 2º- students & families; 3º- regional & national governments.
Once we get this, we can move on.
It is also essential to identify trends in both society and education as they are a way of understanding what is happening in a wider world. We have to prioritize them so we can see how they are going to affect the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Without any doubt both videos show greatexperiences They involve and motivate the students and they get really engaged in what they are doing. Nevertheless, both experiences make me feel sad. I mean, while they prove to be innovative, engaging and good for the students, since they are the ones designing their own learning, we, teachers have to deal with very strict curricula and external exams that are terribly out-of-date. However, we should insist and try new ways of engaging our students.

Flexibility is the word. The worol is constantly changing and teaching and learning has to adjust. There is no other choice.
Teaching has to be flexible.
If a model future classroom is dificult to have, we can añways do step-by-step adaptations. If we are in the mood of making our students the designers of their own learning, we'll get it one day.

MODULE 1: Future Classroom Lab in Brussels

# data[].attributes.body
Ok, I agree with the idea that it is almost impossible to arrange your classroom the same way as the one in Brussels: you need space, lots of technology and, of course, lost of money. Something we don't hev, I'm afraid. But we can always manage, can't we?
I used to teach English to adults. Not only adults, mind you. My classes were full of people from 16 on, and when I say that, I mean that I could have teenagers, doctors, firefighters and retired people in the same classroom at the same time. I used to arrange the desks in groups of 4 or 5 people (depeding on the space) and my favourite space was the one I "made" in a space outside the classroom itself. In the beginning it was planned as a kind of "waiting room". I arranged some tables and chairs, with English magazines, catalogues and so on. It ended up as a space where the students rehearsed their presentations, revised their homework and so on. It was not the perfect future scenario but it made the students feel comfortable and this is the main idea. Don't you agree?

What is more important, the content or the skills?
In a world where you can get information with the click of a mouse, I really think that the way you manage to get that information is what matters.
That's why focusing on competences should be far more important than coping with the established curriculum

Flexibility is the key to education. In a changing society there is no point in "mass education". We should try to make our classrooms look as "real life" as possible. In other words, quite the opposite of wht is shown in the picture.

MODULE 1: Why should we our classroom practices?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that teachers have to reconsider their role. I mean, we live in a changing society and we, as teachers, have to be open-minded and adjust to the new tools that are available.
I also think it is really important that we see ourselves a learners too and so,understand that we are allowed to fail.
The teacher has to be a companion rather than "know-all" person who does not share and interact, because society nowadays is cooperative and interactive.

I am Maribel, from Spain.
I have been teaching English for 25 years more or less. I teach English at a School of Languages. Schools of Languages are state-run schools where modern languages are taught. At my school you can learn English, French, Italian and German.
The students that attend this kind of school are from all walks of life. They are from 16 on, which means that in the same classroom you can have teenagers, university students, housewives, lawyers .... The classrooms are arranged according to the students' level. They can get CEFR certificates for their level for A2, B1, B2 and C1.

Nowadays I'm not teaching. Iwork as a teacher advisor at the Department of Education in my region and I deal with teaching foreign languages and the internationalization of schools. That's why I have enroled this MOOC.
