I teach maths and science in my town at Comprehensive School where I'm also a digital trainer.    
I've been teaching for 15 years now, and I try always to improve my teaching skills through research new methods and strategies.  
I love technology and recently I’ve attended an interesting course at European Schoolnet in Brussels and now I look forward to applying the stuff that I learned there.
I think that every teacher should be a lifelong learner, so that renew every time the own enthusiasm toward one of the most beautiful profession.    ]]> 2017-08-03 09:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/geo_vitale/mydiary/wish/180029637 geo_vitale https://padlet.com/geo_vitale/mydiary/wish/180029790 I work in a Comprehensive School including kindergarten, primary school and lower secondary school (or middle school). I teach maths and science in middle school and my students are aged 11-14. 
I'm also the digital trainer and I'm working a lot to bring the new technologies to my school.  
However, there are a lot of difficulties to change teaching methods, mainly because there are not IWB or other devices in several classes, sometimes the internet connection is really slow but even because the classroom layout is extremely traditional. Finally, I guess many colleagues are a bit wary of changing their traditional methods or are not keen to learn new ones. ]]> 2017-08-03 09:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/geo_vitale/mydiary/wish/180029790
