Training Teachers

Having just completed a wave, this section we feel is extremely important. It's critical to ensure that the participants of the MOOC (the teachers) are able to understand and grasp how to take their students/pupils through a wave. It'll be great to capture and share real-life experiences from the teachers that have already undertaken the wave. This can be done in an interview style where teachers can talk about their challenges, questions and their own personal experience of the wave.

We've taken a look at courses where this has been used and called "Ask the Expert" see snapshot below

What are you doing here? this is an European project aiming…, CREATIVE, INCLUSIVE, CHANGEMAKER, GLOBAL EDUCATION

Ideas Jordi:

2018-02-13 16:59:29 UTC

play and learning, constructionism, working with projects, working collaboratively, maker movement. Put as example of all this points Scratch

Ideas Jordi:

2018-02-13 16:59:50 UTC

In the 21st century we can write, draw and code; coding as a 21st cent new literacy… I can create poetry, tales, stopmotion, draws, opinions, movies, etc.. and I can share it with my classmate, with the class group, and with everyone through Internet.

Go ahead: storyboard, backgrounds, characters, plot, the guiding thread,...

Ideas Jordi:

2018-02-13 17:00:37 UTC

mixing media (draw, take pictures, mixing all in Scratch image editor), blogs (kidblog), scratch (create and sharing, remix projects)

Important msg: technology is important, brushes are important, hands are important…

Ideas Jordi:

step by step: ex; discussion= we ask children for their contribution, we ask them to respect the others views, we ask them to write their findings, to share it with the class, and to give feedback to others contribution.
The same with each one of the steps

FEEDBACK: KIND, PRECISE, CONCRETE

Ideas Jordi:

2018-02-13 17:02:43 UTC

Engaging (working with children interest’s), Give positive feedback (how important it is!!!) to each one of my students (to all),

errors are positive, because it can helps to find solutions, it helps to improve… emphasizing how important is to fail to the way to success

Ideas Jordi:

good practices
listen to our teachers

Ideas Jordi:

Project based learning.

try to convince teachers there is impossible to know everything about Scratch, it is good to work out of the comfort zone (what is expected as a the teacher I have to do when I propose to work with projects: to do the project in advance, just this, and to be conscious there will be different solutions).

Creative Learning Spiral

Ideas Delia:

I think the Course home page has to have a catchy content and has to be user friendly as well.

Ideas Norica

Transforming some less liked school subject into attractive and playful activities as steps towards gaining knowledge (Math, Science, Foreign Languages).

Delia Ideas

2018-02-14 08:49:00 UTC

We could use examples of situations we faced during first and second wave-teacher training.
In our case all teachers involved, faced challanges and fears they will not be able to use Scratch. Some of them couldn't overcome them.

Digital storytelling is a relatively new term that refers to stories that include multimedia elements such as photographs, videos, sounds, texts, and also narrative voices, and this has found its way into the classroom in a number of contexts. Robin in [17] provides a framework for thinking about digital storytelling in the classroom; authors have shown that digital storytelling can help visual memory [18], creativity [19] and it can also improve academic achievement [20]. Creative computing, programming, or robotics fit this framework well. We can program digital stories and animations with virtual characters and scenarios, but we can also program physical characters and scenarios in the form of robots or constructions outside the computer. Creative computing adds a new component to stories: interactivity. [from PlayfulCoding Paper]
