“Yes I can” – Empowering Student Learning by Fabiola Di Gaspare https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8 Learning diary, by Fabiola Di Gaspare en-us 2017-03-23 16:38:53 UTC 2019-01-30 17:31:06 UTC hello@padlet.com Fabiola from Italy fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324023725 I'm an English teacher in a Secondary School and I've been teaching for years in multilevel classes. It's my first time in a course like this and I'd like to improve my way of teaching . I'm interested in finding and sharing new strategies to motivate my students and to make more effective lessons.]]> 2019-01-24 17:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324023725 Module1.

My students are interested in music, social networks, digital games and use internet to study , but I don't really know their passions. I understand that teaching through digital technologies is important to communicate . They are motivated and partecipate in engaging activities .

If you are interested, you can also watch the third video (optional). In the first video, the NESTT project explains that most students do not actually make the link between their learning experiences inside and outside of school. We all know that students do not only learn at school; they also learn plenty of things outside of school, according to their own interests. Such individual learning interests could, for instance, include a young person learning a new skill (like guitar playing) through YouTube videos. The second and third video explain what formal, non-formal and informal learning actually is – thinking about those concepts will be a good starting point for you to reflect on how to better connect the different learning experiences. fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324060331

Let’s move on to the core question of this course: How can we help students to create synergies between their learning in different learning settings?One possibility is to organise project work at school. In the first video, students from Poland, Romania and Portugal share which project work they really liked.The second video starts with a brief visual summary of the different learning settings. Then it presents some first ideas on how to also take advantage of non-formal and informal learning settings. However, these are just some ideas. Can you think of more? Please share your own ideas in the Padlet below. fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324081963

Effective learning comes from engaging experiences that touch our students' interests and minds. My students want to be involved in projects, activities where they find something related to their everyday life ... possible answers or something that tickles their curiosity. Project works help them learn how to collaborate, but what I find difficult sometimes is to help them appreciate the contribution of each member of the team. Active listening? And the time doesn't seem enough!]]> 2019-01-24 18:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324081963 Course Introduction fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134028 2019-01-24 20:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134028 "I like things to happen; and if they don’t happen, I like to make them happen." Winston Churchill fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134460 2019-01-24 20:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134460 The aim of this course is to learn together how we can empower our students to learn in different settings in and out of school. Kids learn all the time, at home, together with friends, in the sports club – they just sometimes do not realise how relevant this learning is, both for school and for their future. In the spirit of Winston Churchill’s quote above, it is time to empower our students in their own learning, for them to “make things happen”.favorite_border0Il tuo avatarAggiungi commento fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134988 2019-01-24 20:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324134988 MODULE1 fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324137118 Summary of this Module:
During this module, course participants will have learned about the key concepts of formal, non-formal and informal learning and have reflected on how these concepts apply to their own learning and that of their students. Upon having watched relevant content videos, they will have exchanged ideas with other course participants on how to better link their students’ learning in different learning settings, and strategies on how to support their students to become empowered learners.
In this module, you will:

-reflect on your own learning and that of your students;
-learn about the concepts of formal, non-formal and informal learning;
-discuss how to create links between these learning settings in order to empower your students’ learning.

But every kid has an interest and that is a fundamental belief. It is not only about helping that kid identifying the interest but progress through that interest." Diana Rhoten, Social Science Research Council fabioladiga https://padlet.com/fabioladiga/13czv5iq9ss8/wish/324998249 In this module, we will explore how implementing personalised learning approaches can help your students to become drivers of their own learning. As the above quote  emphasises, every kid has an interest and the goal is not only “helping that kid identifying the interest but progress through that interest”.

To start out with, take a look at the final video message from the NESTT project partners.
