As it's a new language for them, they tend to follow patterns or examples and I find myself making them to repeat some examples or structures too.  I think using PBL in class could let students be more creative.  I guess that working on a real and updated project would be a good opportunity to let students participate actively in their learning. ]]> 2018-12-10 20:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313164994 Keys to PBL mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313165592 What is your experience with PBL? Why would you like to implement it in your classroom? Have you faced any difficulties in its implementation? If so, which of the 5 core elements were the most difficult to adapt?]]> 2018-12-10 20:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313165592 mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313165723 I have just worked few times with PBL. That's why I'd like to learn about it and implement it at school to engage students and give them a more meaningful learning. Once working with PBL, I found difficult to create completed projects which include a core learning. Also, assessment in projects is a worrying issue if we want to have self-assessment, coevaluation, observation, rubrics and so on. ]]> 2018-12-10 20:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313165723 3, 2, 1!

So that, I'm learning about PBL and Etwinning. 
2- I love walking with my dog and I need to dance at least once a week. This year I'm learning line dance. 
1- I guess I'll be a tourist guide to keep on discovering new cultures and people. ]]> 2018-12-10 20:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313166052 What is eTwinning? mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313166988 2018-12-10 20:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313166988 PORTFOLIO mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313167731 2018-12-10 20:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313167731 Innovative experience mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313171283

Identify one of the criteria on the Padlet and explain what things you would put in place as part of a project to ensure a high score in that criterium]]> 2018-12-10 20:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313171643 mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313171738 As said, all the criteria are important. I think number 3 is the basis to be able to develop a grat project. Criteria1, 5 and 6 are quite easy to follow and they are usually present in any kind of project.  However, communication and interaction among partners is sometimes the hardest part. Because it asks for extra work, well planning and a great will of cooperate among different schools. ]]> 2018-12-10 20:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313171738 PROJECT DESIGN mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313527073 What's for breakfast?

    I'd like to invite a nutritionist to help students on my draft project about breakfasts and how they can have healthy snacks.

    Can technology help to create a student-driven environment? How?
    A2
    If teachers plan in advance and prepare structured tasks using any online app that lets students follow instructions or steps, students can feel they are directing their learning and they are deciding how to develop their work. ]]>     2018-12-11 18:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313544938     mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313545250 Question 3:
    Collaboration is inevitable in PBL. What is your favourite warm up activity?

    I love brainstorming as a wordchain or in a running race to the blackboard in teams. ]]>     2018-12-11 18:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313545250     mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313545457 Question 4:
    What are pitfalls, setbacks connected with implementing PBL at school? have you experienced any?]]>     2018-12-11 18:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313545457     mdomper2 https://padlet.com/mdomper2/openetwinning_pbl/wish/313545979 Question 5:
    How do you motivate students to take initiative?
    A5
    Accepting any suggestion, letting students modify or adjust other's ideas, listening a lot instead of interrupting them. Images ans short videos are a great option as well.

    What is your technique for splitting students into groups for a project: do you assign students to groups, are they mixed abilities or homogenous groups?

    How do you assess PBL? What are the types of assessment common in your teaching environment? Are you free to assess in any way you choose or do you have to follow a strict testing system?

However, it is timeconsuming and asks for hard and persistant work. 
    Some steps would have to be fixed to better collaborate.  For instance, -a mail per fornight, two members contact, (in case one can't assist), good tools to communicate (email, whatsapp). I don't know how to manage properly the way collaboration should be effective.
