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. I'm an active eTwinner Teacher!

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.

My students had the chance to work collaboratively and use their imagination and creativity to do the Surprising boxes gadgets and games to send their partner students. They felt involved drawing the logo and the poster and they liked the voting activity on Mentimeter. They started using ICT for educational purpose for their introduction on Padlet and in the creation of games by using Learning Apps.
We made photo collages and videos  in class. They logged in the TwinSpace to read and see other schools activities, photos and videos. There was a lot to do, share and learn! Thank you to all the partners.

We had really great fun!
