Since 2008, he has beeen working as a Technical Pedagogical Advisor at the ICT unit of the Spanish Ministry of Education (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías Educativas y de Formación del Profesorado), where he works in the European Projects Department as a member of the Spanish eTwinning National Support Service. 

His work at the Spanish Ministry of Education has also given him the opportunity to collaborate in projects such as MENTEP, Future Classroom Lab, and Samsung Smart School ( A project which aimed at students of primary education, and offered teachers the necessary tools to guarantee the success of the digital transformation of the classroom and contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning processes.)

                         Think about where we want our individual journey of 
                         innovation to take us.

                        Think about what will work in your context.

Second step: Convince others ( stakeholders as policymakers,   
                        teachers, students, tech companies)  to join our path       of innovation.

Your answers

XA set of tools that support you in developing a pedagogical vision for your school or classroom of the future

An online tool for organising information into different categories

XA real-time messaging tool for communication and collaboration in the classroom

XIt allows us to take a step back and to take some control over future developments at our school

Because if we know about trends we can engage students better in their learning

Because educational policy might change in the future and we should be informed about these changes

XIt needs to be realistic

It needs to be visionary and include blue-sky thinking (ignoring any technology or financial constraints for now)

It focusses on the role of technology rather than pedagogy

Outside experts coming into the classroom via video-conference

The classroom primarily exists in the cloud (virtual classroom)

XStudents direct their own learning

Stakeholders need to be included in the process for legal reasons in most European countries

XWithout buy-in of key stakeholders it is likely there will be significant opposition to the changes introduced in the classroom or school

Stakeholders should be consulted as they have an important role to play in funding the required changes coming from the scenario

1. Understand a variety of ways how technology can be used in schools

2. Evaluate the level of pedagogically effective use of technology in your classroom or school

The 21CLD rubrics help you to identify, understand and build learning activities that allow students to develop 21st Century Skills. The rubrics incorporate a framework for coding learning activities along a number of questions to ensure you are embedding 21st Century Skills in your teaching practices. To understand better what this means, take a quick look at the 21CLD rubric cheat sheet.

ME: The 21st Century Learning Design Rubrics are a useful and innovative tool that I discover today for the first time. It would be very interested a practical example of its use.

The Learning Designer allows you to create a number of teaching and learning activities (TLA), similar to iTEC Learning Activities, and assemble them to what they call a Learning Design which is very similar to an iTEC Learning Story.
