After some research, we have come to the conclusion that some assistants are a little bit lost at the beginning of the school year. In order to help them feel more comfortable at our schools we think it would be a good idea to give them a welcome pack.

Therefore, they have not been in a real classroom environment interacting with students before. For the vast majority this is their fist time. For this reason it will be a good idea to hand them some guidelines.]]> 2017-07-12 11:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vliet_garrido/exocpu9hyr95/wish/178554666 vliet_garrido https://padlet.com/vliet_garrido/exocpu9hyr95/wish/178556044 Another role for the assistants can be to design materials and activities integrating new technologies such as https://kahoot.com and https://www.plickers.com/library
