My Digital Portfolio by Elena https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98 My journey with Techno_CLIL EVO 2017 en-us 2017-02-23 15:29:41 UTC 2023-03-29 17:45:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png Who I am annino_elena https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98/wish/155781746 My name is Elena. I live in Catania. I teach English in a lower secondary school. This is my second experience with Techno_CLIL. I've been working hard to make the best of my teaching experience improving both my CLIL and digital competences.    ]]> 2017-02-23 15:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98/wish/155781746 How CLIL am I? annino_elena https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98/wish/155785340 CLIL has always been part of my teaching experience both as a 'language' teacher to support colleagues of content subjects and as an 'experimenter' who has always tried to widen her horizons (and the students' as well) to the idea that the foreign language is a precious tool to discover the world.

After attending last-year Techno_CLIL course, I can say I'm more prepared than what I used to be in on the theoretical premises behind the CLIL approach. Moreover, I've been more and more 'techno'  in my CLIL strategies. 

That's why, despite the little time (unfortunately!) I can devote to it, I've decided to attend the second course on Techno_CLIL, I'm eager to learning more and more about 'techno-clil'!

New materials and a new challenge for this year's course...a good start! ]]> 2017-02-23 16:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98/wish/155793085 Week 2: Surfing the Net annino_elena https://padlet.com/annino_elena/dq4ofkp1bi98/wish/155795134 As the title says, I surfed the net, exploring the potential of the web in the implementation of CLIL.
I've also tried out the potential of some webtools in my CLIL lessons.
I came into Padlet - the one I'm using now to make my digital portfolio - last year and since then it's been love! :)
Please, see here an example of its usage in a clil activity with my students:

and a couple of very basic examples of Prezi on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (cross-curricular activity):

We had a lot of fun, both me and my students :)

Here is my experiment with LEARNING DESIGNER 
https://v.gd/m5Qg8L
I planned a geography lesson on the landscape of the USA for a third class in a lower secondary school. 
I tried it out with my students and it worked!
The teacher's role, here, has been a support to guide activities in English.

Since then, I've tried to implement ER in my clil activities by also setting up a 'circulating school library' with English books. 
I still have to work on it and improve the materials, but a first stone has been laid. 
I want to share my recent experiment of ER in CLIL with various links to curricular subjects:

The suggestions to BYOD and Flipped Classrooms induced me to experiment with my students. I have to adjust something, but I can say it definitely works!
I've videorecorded a CLIL activity taken in class with my students where I present what the students and I did to carry out the lesson.
The topic is The Geography of the USA, please find the link here:

Attached, you may also find the evaluation grid I used for self-assessment with the students. 

Now that I'm at the end of this journey, I can say that motivation is what spurs me to keep on learning and improving my practices in teaching Techno-CLIL.
Thanks everyone for this second great opportunity offered with Techno-CLIL EVO 2017!
