My team is very united and instrument that we never give up is Google Drive , which allows us to communicate , plan and share with ease .

Knowing English at a basic level I started the course with some perplexity and indecision . I must say I was very pleased by the organization , by the aid of tutors and other students , and professionalism. I received a lot of ideas and moments of personal reflection, trying to give my little contribution.

Thank you and see you soon!

The difficulties are certainly of an economic nature : the purchase of devices 
and their management as well as the training of teachers is now in charge of the 
schools and individual teachers . To overcome the problem in our quest Institute 
the next school year will be activated mode BYOD .
And is necessary, in the phase of Strategy & Planning that the teaching team is 
close-knit and work on a common platform beyond school hours . In my team 
we used the modules of Google and the platform of the textbook .

My team has entered into an agreement with the association IMPARADIGITALE offering guidance and support to apply the method of " classe scomposta " : the transformation from physical space of the classroom closed to open learning environment is stimulated and encouraged by the contribution of resources technology , such as tablets that open up new virtual environments and multiple dimensions .

A very fun and useful that I discovered recently and that advice is Kahoot . You can create quizzes or play with those already made . Children through the tablet answer questions ; feedback responses is immediate and can be monitored in real time. The use as evidence at the end of a unit or as a test for learning prerequisites.

At the end of a teaching unit on grape kids have used the app EDUCREATIONS to explain what they have learned.

To involve all students in the project must be interesting and stimulating their curiosity .
Then it is necessary to establish the roles or choose them directly to them . In my experience working in small groups ( 4-5 students ) is the most profitable because they can help each other and are not likely to be dispersive .
To operate the business well requires three things : clear goal , established times and structuring of the groups .

Usually I value teamwork following the simple observation grids that rely on collaboration , cooperation and listening .

Another yardstick is whether the activity is carried out fully and on time : in this case the students have found a common agreement and have been productive .

Even the verbalization of what has been done has a crucial role : the children must be able to explain to the class how they worked , showing that he had become aware of their knowledge.

Often work in pairs or groups of 4-5 elements . Depending on the activity , the children can choose their mates ; or form groups of level; or mixed groups , with a mentor who acts as a support to all others . Since my students are young rarely I ascribe roles : I prefer to agree with each other and all do everything . From my experience children more timid or insecure are more at ease in the small group and expose themselves with peers . Children who have a stronger personality tend to prevaricarsi if they are in the same group , so it is better to separate them .

Working in the Primary School you need to show different activities , different methodologies , so that pupils can discover slowly what is the style of learning best suited to them . The teacher must indicate all the opportunities and resources and give freedom to the students to proceed as they see fit , but always reflecting on the processes that have enabled to achieve the goal .

-ripensare the role of the teacher and his organization ( preparation of all materials at home and monitoring guide - observation at school )

-involve families making them participants and responsible

-make sure all students have the opportunity to use the internet at home

-update himself constantly , researching tools engaging and appealing to students

I often use Educreations to create short lessons.

Advice also Powtoon and GoAnimate. 

Definitely next year I will use Tellagami and Thinglink , which I find very functional for different activities in primary school.

I know Edmodo but do not use it just because our textbook in digital format provides a free platform and closed . We are sharing environments, blogs, test, ebook , depth textual and video games .

For the next year we plan to use the kit of educational LEGO : LEGO WeDo . It ' a first approach to coding: develops creativity , stimulates the interest and enthusiasm, enhances logical processes.

I was really thinking the webinar module 2 " Tablets and parents involvement" , perhaps because it is the weak point of our digital project. The ideas that I will implement it immediately and are two :

-open class parents to get them to attend lectures and engage direttaemente ,

-somministrare a questionnaire on the rating and the criticality of the project ( as well as get feedback from families and possibly make changes ) .

There are two critical issues working with the tablet :

1 ) good connection ( that supports 20 tablet , the devices of the teachers and all PCs that are in each classroom ) . Fortunately, this problem has been resolved in mid- school year by the Institute that has invested .

2 ) evaluation : it is not always easy to assess the activities of the children , especially when they work in groups . In this regard it was a very useful document found in additional resources Module 3.

From padlet Barbara Cankar I saved an image that hang in the classroom next year when we address the issue of social networks. Very nice!
