The teacher has to realize that more than injecting knowledge into their students he should be the mediator of their own learning pathways. The teacher should have at his disposal an efficient piloting system that both allows students to self-regulate their work and the teacher to know how to help them.]]> 2016-10-30 15:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/134087480 mafaldocas37 https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/134087748 The arrangement of the classroom should facilitate contact between students.]]> 2016-10-30 15:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/134087748 mafaldocas37 https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/134088259 I identify with much of the content of the videos.

- to be responsible for their learning;
- to know how to self-regulate their own work;
- to work in a team;
- to have good argumentation skills;
- to know how to help colleagues.]]> 2016-10-30 15:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/134088699 mafaldocas37 https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/138945432 Sharing and discussing previous experiences between teachers is important to improve my own way of teaching as well as reassuring myself.]]> 2016-11-20 17:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/138945432 mafaldocas37 https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/138947404 Not all activities go as planed. For instance, some students attitudes or interventions may alter the initial expectations. It's up to the teacher to embrace these contributions/obstacles and orient the group to the final purpose.]]> 2016-11-20 17:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mafaldocas37/3vgyt02yhbyl/wish/138947404
