1.1 What is your main reason for using or wanting to use tablets in your classroom?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-09 20:41:56 UTC

"In fact, the Tablet in class teaches many methods and many practices. But these
are all located in the groove of the main method of the school of the
twenty-first century, which is to a didactic integrated and multi-channel. Ie a
school that interacts with the students using the most advanced tools in a
simple, clear and effective. I know how important and relevant are using
tablets in the classroom with my students, but actually in my school are not
ready for this type of activity. I know the benefits and advantages of using tablets in my teaching and in the learning of my students. Due to their technical versatility that allow students to develop the skills necessary for the 21st century, to improve digital
literacy and motivate them to create new learning content, to collaborate.
I asked my students to bring in their own devices, adopting the model tabletlet I think simple and complete, but I discovered that only two or three students owned a tablet. Although their relatively low cost make them accessible to the majority of the population, most of my students do not own a tablet. I think that the digital divide between social classes, between families of different economic levels would increase. In addition the conditions for access to the communication network at my school adversely affect the use of such devices. If I had to explain my reasons to support the use of tablets in my class, I would start by making sure that they can share my vision for learning in the 21st century of their children. I know it sounds like a cliché, but seriously, my philosophy of teaching staff involves teaching students for tomorrow, not ust for today. Provide opportunities for them to develop thinking skills, not just learn information. The tablets are the perfect tool (at the moment), for teachers like me to give students the opportunity to interact physically and mentally
with the device. They can explore models of trial and error of thinking, using their analytical thought processes, applying the knowledge and skills at the same time, in different situations to solve problems, create and innovate. They have the ability to move back and forth, experiment, to decide, reflect and share. They can collaborate and themselves and express their learning in ways that do not rely as heavily on how verbal and written communication learning.
So I can get immediate feedback on their understanding and I can better tailor
their learning opportunities. I also believe that teachers need professional development opportunities (both philosophical and practical) use of technology for teaching and learning. There is also the question of time within the daily schedule. To engage students intellectually, giving them the chance to explore and make the neural connections needed is to give them time to learning and constant access to your device. If teachers are forced to control the devices from a central location,
it is sometimes difficult to make sure that two classes does not require the same devices on which students have worked previously. I know I always check the numbers 1-5, as the programs I need are on those iTablet, but if another class has saved the job, or bookmark on the same device, then it becomes a frustration and a complicated process to coordinate , within our time constraints.
So I think, in order to make the vision a reality, we need some changes to
educational policies that direct the development of curricula and there must be
a 1: 1 (or almost) the provision of media in schools. Then the teachers like me
can really flip the classroom, providing students with opportunities to develop
consistent core competencies for the future.

1.2 What whole-school challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-09 20:48:10 UTC

It starts from concrete contexts and real problems of education, addressed through Tablets and new techniques of teaching / learning. You can start from a point or from any tab. Explaining working methods for teaching and learning using the tablet as a notebook integrated media, so that in class everyone has everything. Teachers and students can discover how to make active and dynamic learning through the production of movies, multimedia cards and research synthesis, interactive presentations, lectures minimalist or organized, lessons collage or podcasts. All with a
practical orientation, through tens of examples and procedures such as, for example, arrange a mobile learning, interactive and stimulating. Basically every teacher can use the book to choose their own combinations and levels.
Everything is always explained in a clear and simple. At least, that is the intent to facilitate learning in the classroom!

1.3 What classroom challenges do I already face or do I anticipate facing when using tablets?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-09 20:51:29 UTC

The tablets at school brings a change in teaching because it changes the dynamics:
is mobile, always connected, is playful and playable. Nothing can be as first class if you adopt the concept of a tablet to school for every student. But, of course, teachers are not required to fully implement what is suggested to them. Teachers who do not want to give up their old system or who do not wish to throw himself fully in the adventure, I recommend taking one of structured activities proposed by the tablet and take it forward continuously reserving a small area of their weekly lessons. And a good way to begin to get into the new, bringing the tablet to school without leaving the old completely. For example you may wish to consider activities related to the production of books and textbooks. With the tablet in school you can build true interactive books and multimedia, but also simple brochures and handouts, until you get to the textbooks of great impact, interacting with students. Or even distribute online content to students with the tools via Apple iTunes U. With the discovery of European Schoolnet ACADEMY via internet, my first experience at the course helped me understand the practical learning activities for my class. All these experiences have made that I can accomplish tasks of skills and learning through the use of a competence based and professional development. I learned a lot in this digital learning environment, these experiences have stimulated me to discover the learning experiences of the other participants through the creation of their MOOC. I think this is not only the future of the students but also my future as a teacher of progress in a changing world with multimedia. The tablets are extremely effective both to deal with the study of new topics and to organize the knowledge already acquired.
Often, as a task in class, I realize my students working in pairs of maps:
teamwork makes them more relaxed, helps them focus, the need to reorganize the knowledge (in my case the various periods of art history ) forces them to understand what are the stylistic elements, such as technique, which of
artistic content etc. etc. Use books, notes and slide to draw the information (I have the hassle of control that does not copy the contrary, they have to use everything they have). Eventually, as organized by the map, I understand, however, the same as what they understand and what they have studied so the evaluation is still quite objective.

ME AND THE SCHOOL

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 09:22:47 UTC

I am a teacher of Drawing and Art History at a high school in the province of Naples. My school is an Institute with four different fields of study: High School, Language, Humanities and Art School. Since a couple of years my school devotes much attention to teaching and related training. It has also invested heavily on technology and its wise use. The school boasts an excellent TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION via SmartBoard present in all 44 classrooms, two laboratories ICT with 25 PCs each, and thanks to the presence of various interactive projectors all networked and connected with any type of device in use by students and professors (Lim touch screen, PC / laptops). The internet connection is pretty good, able to use either a cable connection is a wifi connection. However, despite the inclusion of new technologies yet many teachers are still afraid of new technology, but I think it is a problem that must be overcome and look to the future

2.1 learning scenarios

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 09:27:46 UTC

I find this very constructive way of learning, you can organize and work better. Use it puts together the 'teacher and students working together; l 'teacher guides students to the construction of knowledge, but also to a real world problem-solving, innovation and communication.In the scenarios of learning students must work together to learn and become responsible for their work and make decisions without overlooking that when you plan an activity with our students will have to take into account different aspects: definition of objectives, materials to be used , time of execution of the various phases of the project, doing this, the evaluation of the work and the form of the publication / presentation of the final product.The use of the tablet brings new ways of working, because the collaboration of equals, will not be reduced to the students of the class / classroom, and the diversity of resources to be used will be higher. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a plan / work planning that takes place, so that teachers and students want to follow but respecting all phases of the project.

MODULO 2

KEY QUESTIONS

1. Learning scenaris

2.What kind of content you can produce with your class

3.What should I consider at the class level when using the tablets?

2.2 What kind of content you can produce with your class?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 09:44:41 UTC

L 'idea for the contents could produce together with students who have a wider scope and significance not only for the class activities. Make sure this is realistic and - very important. So why not share examples with the use of various programs such as the padlet and relate their experiences.
Students will:
work together and discuss the topic assigned
Find solutions to issues identified
create a short film
Everyone was getting his topic related to their interest, searched the internet for information, photos and video, and decided what tools they should use and talk about it. Students analyze and share their findings.
They all work together to create text between photos and video and then come to a conclusion.

2.3 What should I consider at the class level when using the tablets?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 10:04:26 UTC

The Tablet is revealed as the perfect medium size, very aesthetically pleasing to the boy.
Taking care, if necessary, to limit access to only one use of the instrument aimed at learning and communicative exchange. Of course, the use made of it should be wise. The "secret" lies in not wanting to overdo it, in responding to the needs simplifying how to achieve the goal, without succumbing to the temptation of wanting to do at all costs to the instrument everything is capable only because "may" and not because they "need".
Remove the chair and break the traditional deployment front between teacher and students. A new setting of the classroom that has a strategy to stimulate active learning and student-centered that brings out good teaching practices to be shared with students and use more systematically. Then the teacher must start planning and mark each day not only the content of the lectures but also the methodology adopted in order to monitor the path, avoid repetition. The moments of frontal can be reduced greatly.

3.1 Forming Groups for Group Work

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 10:13:57 UTC

I always form groups of four students and I ask the students to choose
among themselves who they want to work with. Students also decide on what
things they are going to work on, they know the best what they can do and what
they can't do. It always works for me.

3.2 Challenges of Collaborative work

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 10:31:54 UTC

How do you keep your students focused and on track during collaborative
projects? How do you ensure all students contribute to the task? If you have
organised a similar project share your experiences (positive and negative)
here.

Keeping our students focus during a project is difficult. We have to find
ways to manage them.I usually have groups of 4-5 students. Each one

of them has to know his responsibilities according the team.

In thebegining of our project all students create a contract with rules on
they have to do or not during the project. They collaborate to create common
rules, which all sign. Some of the rules are about collaboration, team work,
helping each other, keeping the deal lines of their work etc.

I think that is important to students to feel that belong in a
team where their work, their voice can be heard and that they all are equals,
even if there is a leader. The goals of their project must be realistic and according their
knowledge . A student who does not speak well a foreign language , can’t be
focus in a project like that. So I have to give them clear instructions and the
right level Learning

3.3 Studentcollaboration with tablets

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 10:41:18 UTC

Keep focused students during the course of a project, is the most difficult
tasks to achieve, if not the most difficult. Knowing this, it is necessary to
set time limits for the completion of the various tasks defined for the
implementation of a project. So this way it will be ensured that students do
not disperse, or that they are tasks to fulfill.

One of the ways I use most are conducting periodically "meetings" with groups or

with the spokesman of each group in order to know the status of
the job / project. Using collaborative learning, it is possible to motivate students to the
different content and materials, increasing your income / productivity and
improving their school results.

When using the Tablet's, this form of learning, encourages cooperation
among peers and makes learning can be all to everyone (students, teachers,
whether they are of the same class, school or different schools and countries.)

3.4 School-to-school collaboration with tablets

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 11:04:12 UTC

3.3 - School-to-school collaboration with tablets
Although I have heard of eTwinning, I never used. In terms of experience in this business, I used a blog on google, for the construction of various lesson student learning - an educational repository. Through the blog I manage the various activities of the student with my support. It promotes reflection of the student, in collaboration with colleagues and allows the certification of his most important works. The use of the Bog requires systematic reflection on the work of each student, collaborative work between students and promotes the involvement of classmates or students of another class. This tool allows students to have access to my lesson and colleagues lost in hours of absence. concerning sharing / work performance among students, suggestions for future projects and in particular cooperation between the participating schools.

3.5 What other strategies have you used to assess group work? What are the main challenges for you when it comes to assessing group work?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 11:07:10 UTC

For me it is difficult to decide what to assess more, the process or the
product. I assess everything that the students do during the group work and we,
me and the students, decide together what shall be assessed and how much

3.6 Apps for collaborative learning

KEY QUESTIONS

1.Tablets and Personalisation

2.Personalising learning with tablets

3.Challenges of the Flipped Classroom

4.Can you tell us something about your school and what characterizes it in terms of teaching and vision of the role of education for the future of the new generations?

4.1 Tablets and Personalisation

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 12:28:18 UTC

We don't use tablets in class and I think that watching the videos gave me an overview of what personalized learning on tablets means

4.2 Personalising learning with tablets

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 12:43:18 UTC

The first thing to keep in mind is that students have different ways of learning / studying.
We teachers have to prepare /use in our classes, a wide range of strategies and materials, they are presentations, portfolios, videos, discussions, field trips, etc.
These days we have to take into account the technologies we have at our disposal, and a case will be the use of tablets and their apps in the teaching of our disciplines. Thus allowing the customization of teaching and learning, allowing a wide range of possibilities to students in their learning process

4.3 Challenges of the Flipped Classroom

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 12:47:59 UTC

4.5 Challenges of the Flipped Classroom After watching how Monica set herself up for the flipped classroom and hearing about other CCL teacher's experiences, what do you think are the key challenges to implementing the model in classrooms?
There are many key challenges we have to face. First of all ,we have the fact that there are families who does not have internet at home and even they have, do not give the permission to their kids to use the internet. The second is that we have to change our culture and strategies in this new learning process. Teachers have to work more in creating videos and not all of them have ICT skills. So, determination and allocation of their subjects with the 1:1 time with students.
Of course , we can find some solutions using our passion and enthusiasm for learning. We have to change our stereotypes in teaching.

4.4Can you tell us something about your school and what characterizes it in terms of teaching and vision of the role of education for the future of the new generations?

felixdelprete — 2015-05-10 12:54:12 UTC

Puntiare essentially to provide students with the skills
required in the XXI century:
• Collaborate
• Learn in an autonomous and responsible
• Learning to learn
• Problem solving skills
• Development of creativity
These skills are hard to gather if you distraught didactics transmissive.
Conversely an active learning and student-centered, which itself becomes the protagonist and builder of his knowledge, is able to develop nell'alunno all the skills requiredby the modern knowledge society and the modern world of work.
