I wanted to became a teacher since I can remember and I was fortunate enough to get my wish. In truth, I had also a plan B in mind, but probably becoming Indiana Jones would have been a trifle more difficult (but the love for archaeology still remains). 

So I graduated in Physics and started teaching soon after that; after more than ten years I'm still happy with my choice :-)

I'm interested in new ways to teach Math and Physics, to make them more interesting. Students that choose to enroll in the Liceo Porta usually are not enamored of scientific subjects as they tend to prefer above all the humanist side of culture. For this reason, I'm always searching for new ways to make my disciplines more fascinating .  I'm also looking for a new didactic approach to teach them the art of Problem Solving and to help them develop the key competences that they'll need in their life outside and beyond school.

For those reasons, I'm taking part to an Erasmus+  KA1 project and, in Spring 2018, I'll go to Spain for a week, to learn something on PBL in a school where this practice is quite consolidated.

I’m also interested in foreign languages and cultures (I like to learn about different Countries and their culture), and I’d like to develop new contacts with colleagues all around the world.

I like to read, listen to music (all kinds actually), I enjoy trekking on the mountains  and I'm fortunate to live quite near them, I love cooking and, since I have a sweet tooth, cakes and desserts are my favorite recipes to try out ;-)

That's all for now!

PS If you are curious about the KA1 Project ("TURN the key") of my school, you can take a look at the Italian site we are creating  with all the materials.; the project will last two years and will end in August 2019.

I usually try to involve students in discussion recalling their previous knowledge on a subject. I act as a collector of ideas and I put them together to give those ideas a "good" form. My students spend their time discussing ideas and taking notes.
Do you feel your current approach could be easily complemented with a PBL approach? NO, I should make nothing short of a revolution to include PBL in my classes.

Do you sometimes have the problem that students don't remember what they "learned" the day before? YES, that's the reason why I'm trying to find new ways to approach my subjects.
Finish your reflection by identifying a class and a subject topic that you teach which you can use to experiment with PBL. I could try and teach PLB in one of my Physics classes. Maybe my 10th grade that are doing mechanics this year

I'm quite sure that the more challenging points would be time and assessment.
Time because we often feel overwhelmed with the many contents of our subject we are called on to teach and a complex problem needs time to be developed.
Assessment because it's easier to grade a test than to grade a "process". Also, as a teacher, I'm required to produce a certain number of marks for my subject. And what would happen if a student in not sufficient at the end of the year? I'm quite sure that the parents would contest PBL and say that their child has not been correctly evaluated :-(
