In romanian Education act the purpose of the school is that the childrens to adapt to the society and labour market, so I think this course will help me.  ]]> 2019-07-23 19:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bejancristina851/bmakg1mhiru8/wish/372061916 Learning to Innovate MOOC Module 1.4 bejancristina851 https://padlet.com/bejancristina851/bmakg1mhiru8/wish/372061997 The ideea of STEM - interdisciplinary -  is alredy use in the Romanian kindergarten curriculum under the name of integrated projects where  science, mathematics, arts or languages are together applied.

  •  Real-World, authentic problems, and contexts
  • Interdisciplinary approach
  • Skills needed for success in the workplace
I might add here: 
  • the need of  complexe training for teachers
  • to be in touch with other teachers

  • Grades distort our perception of reality.
