I teach students from 12 to 18 years old. Well, I think I haven't found the key, of course, but some ways to make lessons  more efective, useful and friendly; I mean, first of all: be always positive with your students, tell them what they are able to do. Iintroduce always practical aspects as part of the contents and activities, avoiding theoretical ones that are not linked to real life. ]]> 2017-11-01 14:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202531909 INTRODUCING MY SELF. nachodeva1a https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202546050 Hello:
My name is Ignacio. I teach Spanish language and literature. As the time goes by I like teaching more and more, and this is the reason why I wonder myself how I can make school more useful for students. I like learn from other teachers, as I think it is one of the best ways to know secrets about teaching. I felt in love with job shadowing two years ago. 
My main concerns turn around two topics: 
1. Making a friendly, not boring school.
2. Achieving a real efective learning.]]> 2017-11-01 15:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202546050 Real concerns nachodeva1a https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202591692 What I am really worry about is real world connection, since my subject is not a practical one, I mean, it is not Science, Maths, Technology… Language and literature are subjects that students don’t feel close to reality, i.e., despite the fact that language is daily used tool in real life.]]> 2017-11-01 16:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202591692 Driving question nachodeva1a https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202608181 Imagine your best friend has got involved in a fight, and he is about to be suspend from coming to school for three weeks. Do you think you could be his lawyer in the trial directed by the headmaster? Your urgent task is to write an essay to avoid the sanction. ]]> 2017-11-01 16:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202608181 2.

EXTERNAL COLLABORATION nachodeva1a https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202994836 I think it is easy to invite external collaborators to school, if you are able to communicate properly. I mean, you can find for example a responsible of a commercial business, a lawyer, a politician, personal of the hospital… it depends on the activity you are designing.  Just invite parents of your students. ]]> 2017-11-02 16:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/202994836 2.4.

Not too much teachers, at least in my school do formative assessment, but only sumative. I always try to give formative feedback to my students .]]> 2017-11-13 16:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/206316166 4.3 Peer Assessment for PBL nachodeva1a https://padlet.com/nachodeva1a/d3qqg4q5piet/wish/206321877 I usually do peer assessment activities as a part of activities reviewing specially for wrtinig exercises.
