The work is changing. The future work is more digital, more interactive, more virtual.

This was a very interesting presentation. I agree that work has been changing a lot and we can only guess that it will change a lot in the next 10 years as well. On one hand, this is exciting; on the other hand, it can be scary because the job market will be unpredictable.

We will produce App, digital skills, computing. Yes the work will change. Just now, I collaborate in my teaching virtually with many other teacher in the world and I use actively social web to communicate with my students and collegues. I do agree with the ideas in the presentation, since I have seen them happening. It is hard for me to imagine work ten years from now since everything seems to be changing so rapidly. The possibilities for collaboration are impressive.

exchage information. Seems to be o bvious, doen't it? However, as far as my teaching experience is concerned, that's not always the case! I'm not sure what digital skills will be important in the future..technology changes rapidly.

In the animation I really love the sentence "in the future classroom won't have four walls". It makes very clear what teachers need to do to help students to become ready for their future.

I believe that the most important skills are produce information (creating a website, using a digital presentation tool) and exchange information ( communicating online with colleagues and partecipating in collaborative networks via the Internet).

I am agree with  the 10 items from the Mashable website, particularly Ibelieve that young people leaving school should be able to back up to the cloud, use Google docs and Microsoft Office,  set up a website and domain.

Skills are connected with practice. Without practice we do not produce, create, connect, access, store, present anything.

Nowadays we should improve the infrastructure and help students to connect with the minimum requirements. On the other part we should use the best technology we have to connect (still 3G and 4G) by mobile tools.

In my opinion digital skills are strictly interconnected, so to be really competent you need to master, on a basic or advanced level, most of them.

 I have a profile on LinkedIn, but I must admit

that I don`t use it.

Technology should be considered as means by which goals in education will be achieved; Teachers should focus on values, on the importance of flexibility, resilience, social and collaborative skills.

We also have to think that technology is not the end in itself, it is a means. We have to adapt it to our needs and goals. It's important to teach students about the need to change, to adapt, to persevere and to innovate without forgetting that critical thinking should be at the root of all this change is not easy to teach.

The analysis is quite interesting. The final sentence "...Technology is not going to make teaching easier, it's going to make it different" suggests that what is important is the methodology, not the technology itself.

Sometimes just adapting our work with the students to fit the needs of the new generation is not enough. Some ideas need to be totally scrapped and start a fresh with a new set of curricular skills to teach. We need projects and opportunities to prove their skills and adaptation abilities is the way to go.

I'd like to develop some material in audio/video form and create my own website where students could take all this material. I'd like to work about coding with the students too...

But I think coding is still my main weakness.

My goals to learn:

- programming

- make my own website

- update my linkedin

- use of instagram

Students love having audience and at the same time they fear to expose themselves. As teachers we try to encourage their initiative and self confidence .

Like in many other schools, the works of the students are showcased on the school's wall but three years ago I started to work on a free website (using weebly) where I try to showcase all their digital and non digital products.

I think this could be very motivating and could enhance decision-making skills and creativity.

I use facebook, in private groups to encourage students collaborate in tasks, like sharing doubts and the other help on solving.

I also use youtube to create a list of trailers related with the contents and share the video editions, like in the school facebook.

I use Google Docs and Google Drive to share works with my students. Together with them we animate a blog, where they share their research on the Internet.

We used to work almost all the tools of Google Drive. The idea was to watch a video an write down a list of questions with possible answers in a Google Doc. This reflection then put in common with the rest of the team on a shared document.

I use for myself Power Point, Word, Excel but not for online collaboration in the classroom. I have used online collaboration with my colleagues in etwinning projects with padlet. 

Pinterest also allows us to invite collaborators to add their pins; it can also work as a mini-blogging platform.

For sound recording we used Tellagami, which is adorable. Our next task is Voicethread - a combination of everthing: talking, writing, video. We also managed to create a lovely slide show using Slideshow maker. Perhaps I will introduce Viber into my classes.

I usually use Movie Maker and then I upload the videos to Youtube but in my last etwinning project they ask me not to use Youtube, which is a shame.

I found this video really interesting because I like audio and video productions. I created podcasts, used different video creators like moviemaker, phoyostory, vimeo. The students really enjoy using these type of software. They are learning and at the same time having fun. I think to develop these type of productions one must have a good microphone and a good video camera. I also found smilebox a good tool to download and create really nice videos. Below you can view a video that I created with moviemaker as part of an etwinning project.

I am really interested in this topic of building websites. I have used different tools like google sites and weebly to create websites focusing on etwinning projects therefore serving as a showcase of the students'work. With the help of these websites the students had the opportunity to upload their work, share and collaborate with their foreign partners. I also used wordpress to create a school website that I mentioned before in my posts. In the beginning I also used wikispaces. Click on the link below to see one of the websites.

I´d like to create a wiki but I havent got enough time- My work imetable is very hard and it´s necessary a lot of time to practise and create digital resources.

I didn´t know many of the sites mentioned by Ollie.

I am the etwinning Ambassador in my all region Madeira so I must be updated with new digital skills.

I can suggest to you to try a search on the site that collect bookmarks, I mean diigo.com, pearltrees.com… in this case we will make a search between web sites chosen by our colleagues and there is a big chance to find the pearl rare J)

I am always concerned about privacy and i do consider this topic to be very important to address with students of all ages.

I always use key words, it is a good exercise to do with my students. also because i usually create a mind map at first, and i try to get the students able to construct a cmap at the end of the module

the best way is to use the keywords or the pictures in the right way. So, you never lose the road. this is my suggestion for my students

When they have no ideas about the topic we start with one ot two "general" keywords and we a read an article about and we start to define better new and more specific keywords.

Thanks a lot for the tips. They are very useful! I have discovered so many things that I didn’t know. Advanced search seams to be very helpful, because sometimes we stumble on lots of stuff.

I've never used google alerts but I think it's a useful tool

I've just started using google alerts right now, truely.

of all the author mentions species, and scientific names, that actually do not exist and are a hoax too. Besides, the site lacks contact details.

I agree with the elements mentioned in the padlet. It is absolutely not reliable!

There are no clues like About us, or Contacts, or References from scientists.

Everything that appears on the website is unreal.

Wikipedia is one of the first stops for many students working on a research project. Unfortunately, more often than not, they do not cross check the information or look at original sources.

We need to teach students to gather information from more than one source in order to verify it's accuracy. We also need to teach them to check the reliability of their sources, as mentioned in previous videos.

I think Wikipedia is very useful for students. But they need to verify the information from other resources.

Some students think that the internet is an open source where you can just copy and paste. We should teach the students the difference between copyright and creative commons. This will help them to identify which sources need to be quoted or not.

I know creative commons from eTwinning Researches and told my students about the rights, how they can copy other materials or not.

Actually, copyright is one of the most ignored issues especially doing homework and creating projects. I need a course about that.

This is a serious problem. Copy and paste is something that some students feel is a right.

Wow, that´s great!

How you did it? Amazing
