Hi! I'm a primary school teacher, I like to teach pupils the new things in an attractive way, so they like learning. My attempts are not always successful. I want them to develop creative thinking, curiosity, skills that they use in practical life. I think every child should be treated as one. I think it is better to focus on the concrete talents and passions that need to be developed. I hope this course is a real exchange of best practices!

What are PBL?

grigore_geta — 2018-03-22 16:50:16 UTC

PBL is a new concept of active learning. Students understand easier by working themselves. They learn in the team, and this brings them a lot of benefits: they become more tolerant, more attentive, take on tasks, help themselves. A theme is viewed from several perspectives.
To remember: "The Main Course, not Dessert"

Expectations

The project helps active learning. Students ask questions, document, work in team. The theme is covered from the perspective of several disciplines. It employs knowledge, skills and highlights the talents, skills and interests of students. It is also used as an assessment because our curriculum requires regular assessments. I worry about students' passivity in lessons, u expect me to take the initiative, but I think in time this will happen! That's exactly why I started to use PBL.

My answer:
I would like to visit the State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. I have this dream since high school years when I studied Russian. The teacher showed us pictures, brought us information and was the first great art museum of this size I learned about. Since then I have visited the Vatican Museums, the Ufizzi Galleries in Florence, the Palace of Vienna, but I have not found the works of the Russian masters I have been impressed with during my adolescence. I made a virtual visit and discovered a lot of information about art.State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia

The grandeur and opulence of the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg is enough of a reason to get booking your ticket to Russia. The fact it’s the second largest museum in the world and houses an impressive collection of over 1 million items is just an added bonus. Catherine the Great started her art collection in 1764 and commissioned her court architect, Yury Felton, to build an extension on the Winter Palace to house the Dutch and Flemish paintings a couple of years later. Across the six historic buildings you’ll see antiquities, decorative arts and works from numerous art periods including Dutch Golden Age, Italian Renaissance, French Neoclassical and German Romantic. You’re only dilemma will be where to start first.

The Learning Designer

grigore_geta — 2018-03-29 19:04:53 UTC

is a tool to help teachers and lecturers design teaching and learning activities and share their learning designs with each other. It was developed by a team led by Diana Laurillard at the UCL Knowledge Lab and is free for anyone to use.

The tool is based on the six learning types from Diana Laurillard’s Conversational Framework – a model of the conditions necessary for learning to take place. The six learning types are: Read/Write/Listen (or Acquisition), Inquiry, Practice, Production, Discussion and Collaboration. In principle, a good learning design will contain a mix of all of these types of learning.

There are two screens in the Learning Designer: the Browser screen and the Designer screen. You can search for and adapt other people’s learning designs in the Browser screen or design your own from scratch in the Designer screen.

The tool provides feedback on your design by showing you the proportion of each of the six learning types in your eventual design in the form of a pie chart, so you can see where you might need to make adjustments.

The learning designs you have created or adapted will appear under "My Designs" in your personal space, where you can also save other designs you find useful.

This is an early version of the tool and further functionality is being developed.
