My name is Lourdes. I am a Pre-Primary teacher in a Primary School in Golmayo (Soria), in the north west of Spain. I love teaching and knowing new cultures. I am from Spain but I have lived in England twice where I have worked in a nursery school. I love sharing new ideas and projects related to education.

What is cultural heritage?
According to the Council of Europe (2005), “cultural heritage is a group of resources inherited from the past which people identify, independently of ownership, as a reflection and expression of their constantly evolving values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions. It includes all aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time".

2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage

What Is Cultural Heritage?

How do you think cultural heritage can be best preserved?

Cultural heritage is a set of values, objects, ideas and places. They have their origin in the past and influence the citizens who live in a deteminated place. We are what we are because of the context that surrounds us. The best way to preserve cultural heritage is through education. It is important that our students know all the cultural heritage that surrounds them so that they feel part of it. In addition, in a globalized world, we must look beyond and know the cultural heritage of other countries to understand and value it.

Introduction to Europeana

Try it out: Have you had a look at the Europeana website? What is your first impression? Do you see some contents that could be useful in your classes?

My fisrt impression was really good. There are a lot of resources (texts, images, painting, photos...) that could be used in the school as tool in order to bring near the students to our cultural heritage. It could be use in my lessons with the smallest children in the school. For example, in my school there are art sessions in Pre-Primary classrooms and students can  learn some famous paintings and their painters.

2018: European Year of Cultural Heritage

Please come up with and describe in a few sentences a potential activity/event for the European Year of Cultural Heritage that you could organise in your community!

It could be interesting to contact with some European schools in order to exchange information about our cultural heritage. We can make a summary about our culture with a video that we can share with other schools. Likewise, we can watch their videos and make some activities related to it. We should adapt the activities according to the age.

Cultural Heritage in Education

Is cultural heritage included in the curriculum of your school? If so, please share with your peers where you are from and how cultural heritage is represented in your curriculum.

In my educational system cultural heritage is part of a key competence in the curriculum. Therefore, students must learn it as something that is important in our life across a practical and meaningful learning in all areas in the school.

LEARNING SCENARIOS  OF EUROPEANA DSI-3

The aim of the Europeana DSI-3 project (September 2017 – August 2018) is to continue reaching educators and mainstreaming the use of cultural heritage in the classroom. To accomplish this, it organised a Developer Group of teachers (18 teachers from across Europe) who produced a set of learning scenarios, and open source, professional development materials for teachers based on the Europeana Collections.

Student assessment in cultural heritage lessons.
here are different categories that evaluate the students’ work, such as the quality of work, time management, problem-solving, attitude, etc.

The Europeana Education Space

Europeana gives you access to a wide variety of applications, developed by third parties, that you can utilise in your class within many fields, such as Science, Cultural Heritageor Art.

The collection of Europeana publications is important, especially if one wishes to look behind the processes that drive Europeana and would like more information on the goals, business plans and research created by and about Europeana.

Curated datasets are the best way to save time while browsing the Europeana database.

Introduction to Europeana Collections

For this activity, we would like you to explore the thematic collections, galleries and exhibitions in Europeana platform. Try to find one resource you think you can use to create a learning scenario. Then, explain what it is about and suggest some possible activities you may develop in this scenario.

As I am Pre-Primary teacher and I love working with projects, it could be interesting to use the Europeana collection to make a project about Europe. It could have a duration of a term or even a year. I could teach to the smallest children some European countries monuments, tradicional music and art pieces. For example, a session could be about the Eiffel tower in France. We can learn where is France in a map, observe some Eiffel tower photographies and make a similar tower with toothpicks and paint it.

- Title:
A new modern age.
- Link: http://la.historiana.eu/la/activity/a-new-modern-age/
- Explanation of how you would use it in your classroom:
I choose this activity because it has sugered to me that we can learn with the ederly people. My small pupils can collect photos, objtects and stories with their grandparents help. We can see some old photos and some grandparentes or great-grandparents can come to the school to explain how was the childhood a lot of year ago.

There are two options to explore how modern society was in 1914. The first gets students to place the sources along a continuum line from 'familiar' to 'unfamiliar' to get them compare 1914 to their own society. The second option is a structured sorting exercise where students must sort the sources according to three different scenarios.

Project-Based Learning and Augmented Reality with Europeana

Do you use Project-Based Learning or Augmented Reality in your classroom? If so, please share your experiences in this Padlet! If not, think of an activity involving PBL or AR that you could use in your classroom and share your ideas with us!

It is very common to use Project-Based Learning in Pre-Primary classrooms. I have worked in different schools that use this methodology. Children learn a lot of things with projects and it is very motivating for them. For example, I worked a project about olympic games with 4 years children when the last olympic games was celebrated. They watched some videos and photos about it, we played different sports, we learnt about the olympic rings... I didn´t Know Europeana, otherwise I could have used it. I will try to use it in my next projects with small children.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment is the final part of the learning process, although it should not be understood as a final evaluation but as a way to improve the whole process.
The two main categories of assessments are summative, which focuses on the outcomes, and formative, which focuses on the development of a programme.

Teacher self-assessment in cultural heritage lessons: Rubrics.
A rubric is a tool that provides focused feedback on works in progress and allows one to evaluate, rather than grade, learning outcomes. It is a document or table that describes different levels of quality and lists what is expected from participants throughout the learning process. Rubrics can be used to evaluate student work but also as part of a formative, student-centred process.
