Hello! I teach English as a Foreign Language in a Secondary School in Rome.

I've been teaching English for 15 years. I'm specialized in developing ICT in the classroom.I like learning new things, I think life-long learning is the aim of a good teacher. I like trying new methods to make my lessons interactive and I believe this digital period forces us to march in step with progress and I want to be at the very forefront.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my secondary school in the north of Rome, it has 250 students and 25 teachers. The school has got some classes with Interactive White Boards and projectors and two labs: a computer lab and a video room. I have been training to use technology in the classroom and my students are enthusiastic.

I often use collaborative learning - task based activities so students can learn by doing. I started to flip some of my lessons following the Flipped Classroom approach. In this way, I'm re-organizing the learning time and trying to develop my students' digital skills, too.

The purpose of this course is to share the outcomes of the project and to establish a community of teaching professionals who can shape the future development of the tool which we call TET-SAT (Technology-Enhanced Teaching Self-Assessment Tool).

I attended a lot of online courses, I'm an active e-twinner, too.

I think a self-assessment of technology-enhanced teaching to teachers and schools could have a great impact on one's professional development. I use ICT in my classrooms everyday and I'm specialized in giving digital tools a pedagogical role to create collaboration, to let my students develop social and digital skills. I'm proud to be part of this course.

What it takes to teach well with technology:

There are four main areas to look at:

Digital pedagogy

Digital content use and production

Digital communication and collaboration

Digital citizenship

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions on the tool TET-SAT are positive. I think it helps teachers to reflect on technological competences and how to develop some of them further.

I share with my students the rules of the Netiquette. I advise them on e-Safety and how to share information and pay attention to privacy. Every year I decide to have one or two lessons on "Mistakes on the web". One of the activities I usually do is this one:

You will be thinking about your self-assessment across all 4 of the tool's area outlines (Digital Pedagogy, Digital Content Use and Production, Digital Communication and Collaboration, Digital Citizenship), and thinking in terms of examples from your own teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that this process will work for you?
I feel quite confident and I think I can share my ideas and way of teaching with other colleagues. It could be a meaningful experience.

some of the MENTEP partners who developed TET-SAT explain their vision for the tool and why the tool is interesting to teachers

they share their different experiences and views

Forum: did you have a similar first experience with TET-SAT? Do you agree with the teachers’ opinions? Is there perhaps an aspect they have not yet addressed?

I agree with the teachers. I think TET-SAT tool is a great way to understand better the development of teachers’ professional digital competence, it will help them to reflect and identify some weaknesses trying to improve them. It's a way of helping teachers to prepare lessons by using ICT in diverse environments.

I usually use ICT in my lessons and with my students, I want to become more aware of what I do and I think this tool could help me doing this and especially it will help me understand how I could improve my way of using ICT, how I can enhance my way of teaching, what can I do more?

When I saw the result I wasn't so happy because I thought I knew a lot about technology and how to enhance my professional activities. But answering to the questions was a little bit harder than I thought. I had to read carefully to understand which one described my experience as teacher. Now I know I lack in certain aspects and I want to improve them.

You should be able to see how you can offer similar kinds of examples from your teaching.

I like the two examples because they are very close to my way of teaching and using resources in class with my students. In my school I have Interactive monitors and tablets, so I usually create lessons in which my students are at the centre of their learning. We have a Virtual class in Google Classroom where we share our videos and digital products created by online tools. I create cooperative learning activities and I let my students work on real tasks which result is the presentation of a final digital product. Most of my activities are in my web site: https://emilianarufo.wordpress.com/

About Cyberbullying: I'm the responsible of ICT in my school and I usually deal with this topic. I've attended two courses on Cyperbullying and protections of personal data online. here is an example of activity I do with my students:

1.4
I think sharing is the first step of collaboration.
I thank teachers who are part of online communities and make their lessons available for others.
I do the same and I believe using online content, videos, online interactive exercises and web tools with devices is one of the ways to engage students’ attention in every lesson and make them develop competences for life.
2.6
I’m continuing my professional development everyday. I want to become an expert teacher in ICT.

I’ve already done courses to my colleagues on new methodologies and the using of ICT with students.

I want to be at the very forefront of spreading technology in teaching and learning.

Review of my colleague: Balasoiu Doinita

The competence is: 1.1.3. Designing engaging learning activities with ICT
I think the level of competence is Expert.
The activity created for the students is thought to enhance students' learning by using web tools and devices. There is the use of collaborative methodology because students can work in pairs to revise topics. They can learn by doing and present their map to the class to develop and revise their projects.
I use the same methodology, devices and web tools. I think the activity is really good thought and prepared.

# data[].attributes.body
The competence is: 1.2. Design and management of ICT learning environments
I think the level is capable.
The activities created for the students are thought to motivate and involve students in e-twinning projects by using online web tools, such as Padlet, Zeemap,  Tricider, Powtoon, the same web tools I use in my e-twinning projects. One tool is most used and it's "RealTime Board", an app to collaborate and share ideas in team online. I think the activities are well organized.
The Padlet created for students' presentation is good but it could be developed with pictures or a specific link changed for the URL of the Padlet, that's why I wrote Capable and not Proficient level.

My comment in the Tricider
1.1.3. Designing engaging learning activities with ICT Competence: Pedagogical competence using ICT in teaching to engage students (including game-based learning) and alternate pedagogical strategies.

I think the 5 levels of this area are explained very well. Maybe not every teacher will implement game-based learning but the levels describe clearly the different stages of the competence
