         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1.2. Past, Present and Future Classrooms</strong></div><blockquote><em>The way how our students learn has changed&nbsp; and&nbsp; we teachers must help them to develop new skills,&nbsp; useful&nbsp; for their future. So I think that , in order to have good outcomes, we must try to change classroom setups too. But it is not easy not only for practical problems&nbsp; (lack of adequate spaces and&nbsp; technology devices, the amount of students per classroom), but also for our mentality.&nbsp;<br>Society is changing and school must keep up with it. This is a great challenge for us!&nbsp; &nbsp;</em></blockquote>]]></description>

Should a curriculum focus on content or skills? <strong>Share your thoughts on Roger's video </strong>in the Padlet tool below the video.</div><blockquote><em> I really agree with the focus presented By Roger because he underlines both the 21st Century skills students must develop and the 21st Century skills teachers must have to make their teaching effective. If we want our students to acquire the skill of life long learning, we also must learn to learn over time and change our way of teaching. </em></blockquote>]]></description>

In the meantime, take a look at this tour of the Future Classroom Lab's learning zones.<br><strong>Could you organize your classroom around learning zones? If not, why not? How would you organize learning in the Future Classroom Lab? Which zones would you focus on or start out with?<br></strong>Share your thoughts on these questions and the Future Classroom Lab in the Padlet tool below the video.</div><blockquote>Great organitation!<em>&nbsp;I have never used learning zones. I would like to use them. I think that this organization of learning activities requires a different organization of school time without the traditional succession of subjects.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

It involved <strong>15 Ministries of Education</strong> from across Europe, brought together teachers, policymakers, pedagogical experts - representatives from each stage of the educational processes - to introduce innovative teaching practices. <strong>The output and ideas from this project provided the basis for most things in this course</strong> and Will Ellis, who you have already met in the course introduction video, was the iTEC Project Manager. He will introduce you to the concepts, tools and ideas that came from the work in the project.</div>]]></description>

Share your thoughts and ideas here.</div><blockquote><em>these two scenarios are very interesting because they show that students learn not only through books, but also through their personal experiences. It's more motivating for them because they are involved in something practical, near their experience. It is also really important to give value to students' out of school activities and interests.</em></blockquote><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>developing a vision of how we would like to change what happens in our schools and classrooms is an important first step to introducing innovation. <strong><em>But how to go about creating such a vision?<br></em></strong>To answer this question the iTEC project developed the Future Classroom Scenarios Toolkit. In this video, we provide <strong>an overview of the toolkit</strong>.<br>The toolkit should help you to establish <strong>a path through the process of innovation</strong>, a bit like we are doing on this course. Use the toolkit as a reference point, something you can <strong>revisit and refer back to and discuss with your colleagues</strong> and school principals.</div>]]></description>

         <title>2.3 The role of trends &amp; stakeholders</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the first steps when developing a new vision for our teaching and learning should be to <strong>talk to those people who will be impacted by these changes.</strong> The earlier these people are involved,<strong> the less likely we will face opposition</strong> to the suggested changes and the more likely<strong> the changes will have a substantial impact.</strong> This means we need to consider<strong> who are our stakeholders and how do we involve them.<br></strong>We also need to consider what is happening outside of our schools. It is very easy to fall into the trap of staying inside our "school bubble". But if we are serious about innovation it is important to <strong>consider what is happening outside of school</strong> because at some point it usually has <strong>a big impact on what happens inside of schools.</strong> That is why considering <strong>the role of trends in society, technology, education, politics, etc. </strong>should be a fundamental part of this exercise.<br>The role of trends and stakeholders</div><div><strong>Do you agree that it is important to involve stakeholders? Which stakeholders do you think are the most important for achieving successful innovation in the classroom? Can and should we be considering trends if they change so quickly?</strong></div><blockquote><em>I think it is very important to involve as many stakeholders as possible in the learning and teaching process. Students, teachers, school management, parents, local and national government and also union of teachers, assosciations, churches rapresent different points of view. If they collaborate and share their ideas about what school should be, it is possible to start a real changing and an effective innovation. It is, also, important, to consider new trends, but it is very difficult to keep up with them.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>They have asked some of the <strong>stakeholders of the Future Classroom Lab</strong> about their visions for the future of education. These views have helped them <strong>shape our work in the Lab. </strong>In<strong> </strong>the video some stakeholders describe their <strong>vision for the classroom of 2025</strong> and identify some current <strong>education and technology</strong> trends that they believe will shape the future classroom.<br>It is important to remember that with trends we don't just mean education or technology trends but also economic, social and political trends. However, this is of course a huge topic, so for now let's just focus on some education and technology trends that will shape our classrooms in the next decades.<br><strong>Who do you agree with</strong> in the video? Are these realistic visions of how classrooms will develop over the next decade?&nbsp;</div><blockquote><em>I agree with all the people in the video. I hope the classroom of 2025 will be better than now. I imagine it as an interactive dynamic social place where children and pupils&nbsp; are&nbsp; protagonists in their learning process, where teachers are mentors who provide guidance and feedback. I imagine classrooms where students&nbsp; can use technology devices, collaborate each other and interact. I hope that in the future there will be a school where children learn from other children and teachers from other teachers.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Collaboration and Communication</strong> are two of the key competences of 21st century learning, they have not attracted the same level of interest or attention as other competences such as creativity or critical thinking.<br>In this Future Classroom Scenario course, <strong>we aim at offering you different tools for you to try out and to use with your students in your classroom</strong>. There a wide range of possible tools you can use in the classroom to develop competences, such as collaboration or communication. In this section, we would like to highlight the <a href="https://slack.com/is">tool Slack</a>.<br>Slack is a <strong>cloud-based</strong> <strong>team collaboration tool</strong> <strong>for real-time messaging</strong> that brings all your communication together in one place, allowing archiving and search for modern teams. It is a very useful tool that you can use in the classroom to discuss a project, a topic, etc. Besides, your students cannot only send messages and communicate with other students, but they can also share different documents and work collaboratively; If you use any services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box, you can also paste the link and that document will be immediately will be sync and searchable too.<br>Although Slack it’s useful for professional teams, it’s also very convenient for any other community that needs a quick place for synchronous and asynchronous conversation and collaboration; you can also use Slack in your school to provide feedback on student work, to send announcements to the whole class or to a particular student, to organize students into groups for assignments, etc; definitely a good tool to try in your classroom!</div><blockquote><em>I have never heard about Slack before but it seems&nbsp; a very good tool to use in our schools with collegues and students!</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Learning Objectives for this module are:<br>1. <em>Understand a variety of ways how technology can be used in schools<br></em>2. <em>Evaluate the level of pedagogically effective use of technology in your classroom or school<br></em>3. <em>Develop and share ideas of effective and innovative use of technology in the classroom and school<br></em>4. <em>Discuss lesson that integrate technology<br></em>In this module we will look more specifically at the role of technology in innovating in your classroom. We've involved stakeholders in our innovation process, we've considered trends that we need to take into account, now<strong> we need to identify what role technology can or should play in our process of innovation</strong> in the classroom and school.<br>The first step to this, is assessing how you currently use technology. Is it simply a tool that helps you prepare lessons or supports your administration work? Is it actively used by students to create, produce or investigate something? Or does it go beyond this and allows your students to personalize their learning? Will's introduction to <strong>the Innovation Maturity Model </strong><a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/en_US/web/future-classroom-scenarios-second-round/reto?p_auth=9oqFNgtQ&amp;p_p_id=lmsactivitieslist_WAR_liferaylmsportlet&amp;p_p_lifecycle=1&amp;p_p_state=normal&amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;p_p_col_id=column-1&amp;p_p_col_pos=1&amp;p_p_col_count=5&amp;r_p_r_p564233524_actId=1&amp;_lmsactivitieslist_WAR_liferaylmsportlet_javax.portlet.action=goToModule&amp;p_r_p_564233524_moduleId=1903&amp;_lmsactivitieslist_WAR_liferaylmsportlet_themeId=4#fn1">1</a> should help you in asking the right questions and determing where you are and where you want to go with technology in your classroom and school.<br>We then explore <strong>two key 21st century skills in more detail</strong>, working collaboratively and being creative. Take a look at what teachers say about these skills and in particular what technologies they use to support the development of these skills. Of course, make sure to also share your stories of <strong>how you develop creativity and collaborative skills in your students</strong>.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Most teachers nowadays use some form of ICT in their teaching practices. Especially for <strong>lesson planning and administrative purposes</strong> many of us will be used to working with computers, preparing handouts or presentations and communicating with colleagues, students or parents via email. In this way, ICT has been an important tool for us to simplify or improve our everyday work processes.<br>However, ICT has a much greater potential than just to make our work processes more efficient. ICT provides new and powerful opportunities of communicating, collaborating, creating, investigating, presenting, etc. In other words, <strong>ICT can be a powerful tool that supports us to develop 21st Century Skills in our students</strong>. Your participation in this course is a good example of how ICT provides a completely new form of collaboration with people from around the world. However, just by bringing ICT into classrooms does not automatically lead to new teaching and learning practices. In order for ICT to become a tool that helps us to develop 21st Century Skills, we need to really think about how, where and when we use it in the classroom.<br>The first step in this and in developing our own use of ICT in the classroom and school is to understand the <strong>opportunities ICT provides</strong> and then to identify <strong>how we are making use of these opportunities</strong>. In this video, Will introduces you to a tool, <strong>the Innovation Maturity Model</strong> <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/en_US/web/future-classroom-scenarios-second-round/reto?p_p_auth=b5qFJVLI&amp;p_p_id=resourceExternalActivity_WAR_liferaylmsportlet&amp;p_p_lifecycle=0&amp;p_p_state=normal&amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;p_p_col_id=column-1&amp;p_p_col_pos=1&amp;p_p_col_count=5&amp;p_r_p_564233524_actId=3008&amp;p_r_p_564233524_moduleId=1903&amp;p_o_p_id=activityViewer_WAR_liferaylmsportlet#fn1">1</a>, that can support you in doing exactly this. This tool does not just focus on the use of technology but takes a wider perspective. However, for the purposes of this module we will focus our attention primarily to the technology related areas. You can find more detailed documentation on this Model below the video. Use this Model as a starting point for your own evaluation and don't be afraid to add to it or even change it so it fits your own context.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>3.2 21st Century Skill in Focus: Thinking about Collaboration in the Classroom</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the key 21st Century Skills is <strong>collaboration</strong> so let's focus a bit more on this. Most of us will probably say that we include some form of collaboration in our classroom, be it pair work or group work. <strong>But effective collaboration</strong> <strong>is in fact much harder</strong> to achieve than simply asking students to work together. <br>In the first video below, Deirdre highlights some very relevant questions we should be asking about our own collaborative activities in the classroom. For a very helpful overview of these questions which you can use to interrogate your own planning, check out page 9 of<a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/407687/0/21CLD+Learning+Activity+Rubrics2/a8c0d9a8-bd4f-4a46-9c45-2abdaebd9da6"> this document</a>. The document outlines the 21st Century Learning Design Rubrics which we will get back to later on the course. It's a highly useful resource and we would recommend to delve into it beyond just the part on collaboration.<br>In the second video, some teachers who had been working on the iTEC project share their very practical ideas of improving collaboration in their classrooms.<br>What do you think of the ideas presented by Deirdre and the iTEC teachers? What other strategies can you recommend to make real collaboration work in the classroom?&nbsp;</div><blockquote><em>I really&nbsp; agree with Deindre. Collaboration is not putting students in groups. It goes beyond that. To promote a real and effective collaboration , students&nbsp; must work together, give feedback, share ideas and responsabilities and have a&nbsp; well-defined role in the group.&nbsp; I think it is important that&nbsp; the teacher organizes groups with different skills students, each of them is a&nbsp; strenght&nbsp; for the whole group.</em></blockquote><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Let's briefly take a look at another 21st Century Skill,<strong> being creative</strong>. Many of the complex problems we face in our societies require new and creative solutions so it is important that we cultivate creativity as a valued skill in our classrooms. In fact, <strong>creative problem solving</strong> was an element looked at in the <strong>most recent PISA test results</strong> (for an overview of the PISA 2015 results find more details in this news article: <a href="http://www.schooleducationgateway.eu/en/pub/latest/news/pisa-2015-results--improving-.htm"><strong>PISA 2015 results - Improving educational policies and outcomes</strong></a>).<br>Creativity can be developed in a huge variety of ways, many of them not using technology. But technology often provides <strong>completely new ways of interacting with existing content or creating new content </strong>thereby providing students with <strong>new ways to express their creativity</strong>. Furthermore, with technology also offering us new forms of collaboration, an important ingredient of a creative workflow - the exchange of ideas - is activated more easily and more often.<br>In the videos below <strong>two teachers who have been working on the topic of creativity in the classroom</strong> share their favourite technology tools to support creativity in the classroom.<strong> Irene Pateraki </strong>is an active teacher on the <a href="https://www.etwinning.net/en/pub/index.htm">eTwinning network</a> working with more than 2000 teachers in an eTwinning group called "Creative Classroom" and<strong> Kurt Klynen</strong> is a teacher and teacher trainer who ran the "Creative use of Multimedia" workshop at the Future Classroom Lab.<br>Do you know of any other tools that support creativity development? Do you have any other ideas of how to nurture creativity in your students?&nbsp;<br><strong>Which of the following &nbsp; Irene Pateraki recommends these technology toolsfor the development of student creativity :</strong>Drawitlive; Prezi; Glogster.</div><blockquote><em>I strongly think that technology helps the development of creativity and collaboration. The use of technology in the learning and teaching process is a must. It is essential if we want our students&nbsp; to develop their creativity&nbsp; and their skill of collaborating and working together for a common objective. For some years I have &nbsp; tried to&nbsp; increase the use of&nbsp; technology in my classeswith good results</em>.</blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We have talked a lot about technology in teaching and learning but now it's time to <strong>see it in action in the classroom</strong>.<br>Below you will find three videos that show how some teachers have used technology in the classroom. Take a close look. <strong>How is technology used in these lessons? What stage of the Innovation Maturity Model would you place these examples on?</strong> Identify what you especially like about each of the lessons via the <strong>Padlet</strong> below the video.</div><blockquote><em>Congratulations to the teachers in the videos for their projects!<br>In all my classooms I have the IWB and the computer and I always use them to catch my students ' attention and to involve them in the lesson. But the problem is that there aren't laptops or tablets, so&nbsp; my students can't work in group at school .</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For this activity we ask you to respond to <strong>four questions that focus on your innovation maturity</strong>. The questions are based on <strong>elements of the innovation maturity model</strong> presented at the beginning of this module but have been adapted. The first question focuses on the use of technology while the other questions focus on more general pedagogical practices that are associated to how we use technology in the classroom. This activity should <strong>help you to identify at what level you are and what areas you could focus on in the future to develop the use of technology</strong>. When you have submitted your answers you will see where everyone else stands (in order to see the results of all questions you have to click through the pages just above the survey questions).</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Learning Objectives for this module are:<br>1.<em> Explore how the general vision of a scenario can be broken up into more concrete and short learning activities that teachers can use to achieve the scenario.<br></em>2.<em> Develop an understanding how the 21st Century Learning Design Rubrics can help to create rigorous learning activities for 21st Century Skills.<br></em>3. <em>Identify suitable learning activities for the Flipped Classroom scenario.<br></em>In the first three modules, we've explored some general themes of innovation in the classroom. For the next two modules we'll be looking at more concrete ideas of how to turn the general vision of a scenario into something more concrete that can be put into practice in the classroom.<br><br></div><div>So in this module we'll be looking at the concept of iTEC learning activities which are concrete lesson activities that correspond with a scenario but that are not linked to a specific subject context. In the iTEC project, teachers have started to build up a library of these types of activities which can be a good starting point for building lesson plans that correspond with the learning scenario.<br><br></div><div>We would also like to introduce you to a framework which was not developed as part of the iTEC project but should be very helpful for your design of 21st century learning activities, the 21st Century Learning Design Rubrics. These rubrics support you in designing meaningful activities that directly address 21st century skills.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>For this modules activity we will be looking at the Flipped Classroom scenario and ask you to identify some concrete activities that can help us turn this scenario into reality.<br><br></div><div><strong>LIVE WEBINAR: María Jesús García San Martín- Learning activities for 21st century skills: flipped classroom and collaboration in a Future Classroom scenario<br></strong>In this webinar, we will explore how a future classroom scenario can be broken up into more concrete and short 21st century learning activities that teachers can use to achieve the scenario. Besides, we will identify suitable learning activities for the Flipped Classroom scenario such as infographics, posters or stories to talk about the importance of visual and collaborative tools in the classroom.<br>Currently she is writing to her <a href="http://stopandlearnenglish.blogspot.com.es/">Stop and Learn English</a> blog.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The idea of Learning Activities is to break up the more general vision of a Future Classroom Scenario into<strong> smaller building blocks </strong>to assist us in turning the scenario into reality. Too often exciting visions for a future classroom have been developed <strong>without the sufficient support infrastructure</strong> to guide us through the steps in realizing that vision.<br>This is what the iTEC project addresses with the concept of Learning Activities. <strong>The Learning Activities are simple stepping stones</strong> that provide concrete ideas of how we can achieve the scenarios in our classroom.</div><blockquote><em>It's a really interesting presentation. Now I am eager to have&nbsp; some&nbsp; concrete examples of Learning activities because I want to try something new in my classes and suitable to my classrooms.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As part of the iTEC project a suggested <strong>process for creating Learning Activities</strong> was developed. This is summarised by the <strong>Edukata document</strong> that you can <a href="http://edukata.fi/materials/guide-book/">download from here</a> and is outlined in the video below.<br>The Edukata process is quite comprehensive and time-intensive and it is of course not necessary to use such a process to come up with Learning Activities. However, one of the key elements of the Edukata process is that <strong>Learning Activities should be identified and further developed collaboratively</strong>, ensuring that more and better ideas for activities emerge.<br>Take a look at the video and the document and see if you can use some of the ideas to create a process in your school to <strong>design innovative learning activities with your colleagues</strong>.</div><blockquote><em>I didn't Know Edukata.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Another very useful tool to <strong>help you build learning activities</strong> for Future Classroom Scenarios are the <strong>21st Century Learning Design (21CLD) Rubrics</strong> developed by the <a href="https://education.microsoft.com/GetTrained/ITL-Research">Innovative Teaching and Learning (ITL) Research</a> project.<br>The 21CLD rubrics help you to <strong>identify, understand and build learning activities that allow students to develop 21st Century Skills</strong>. The rubrics incorporate a framework for <strong>coding learning activities</strong> along a number of questions to ensure you are embedding 21st Century Skills in your teaching practices. To understand better what this means, take a quick look at the <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/407687/0/21CLD_CheatSheet_Brussels2.pdf/32ae7c63-d468-4e48-9b1d-6759d2828528">21CLD rubric cheat sheet</a>.<br>Then watch Deirdre's explanation to get a more general overview. Parts of this video you will have already seen in previous modules but it's good to watch it again in the context of the 21CLD rubrics.<br>After watching the video check out <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/407687/0/21CLD+Learning+Activity+Rubrics2/a8c0d9a8-bd4f-4a46-9c45-2abdaebd9da6">this document here</a> which provides<strong> a more detailed description of the 21CLD rubrics</strong> (it's a little long but very much worth the read). Bear in mind that the 21st Century Skills that the 21 CLD rubrics focus on are slightly different to the ones presented by Roger in module 1.<br>As you will notice, the rubrics are not just useful to interrogate your own teaching practice and the learning activities you use but also for the design of new learning activities.</div><blockquote><em>I think that the 21CLD rubrics can definitely help teachers in achieving meaningful learning activities to develop 21st Century Skills in their students. The teacher can check up on the activities,&nbsp; reflect on the practises, interrogate on the work designed for his/her students.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

Start by looking at this scenario but there is also lots of information on the flipped classroom out on the web so feel free to do a quick browse if you are unfamiliar with the idea. For example, you can find more information about <strong>Flipped Classroom Scenarios</strong> at the <a href="http://fcl.eun.org/documents/10180/275738/CCL_Scenarios_brochure_A4.indd_FINAl.pdf">Creative Classrooms Lab (CCL)</a> (check especially pages 6-9), which was <a href="http://creative.eun.org/">another project</a> run by European Schoolnet and funded by the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme, or finally have a look <a href="https://www.knewton.com/infographics/flipped-classroom/">at the overview</a> of the topic by Knewton Infographics below.</div><blockquote><em>Landmarks in London<br>The students work in groups. They watch a video on London&nbsp; and decide which attractions they&nbsp; would like to visit. They prepare an interactive map of the city (they can&nbsp; use Thinglink), describing the landmarks they have chosen to visit.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Let's recap: in Module 2 we have looked at <strong>Future Classroom Scenarios</strong>, in Module 4 we explored the idea of <strong>Learning Activities</strong>. In this Module we now examine the concept of <strong>Learning Stories.</strong> Don't worry if you are getting confused with the names of these concepts (you can call them anything you like) but we do need to be clear about how each of theses ideas relates to each other.<br>To get a better idea of this, take a look at <strong>Will's introduction to Learning Stories</strong>. He already gives two brief examples of Learning Stories but you will have an opportunity to look at some examples in more detail in the following section. Then watch the 2nd video which provides <strong>a good overview of all the three iTEC concepts</strong> to be sure you understand the bigger picture of how Learning Stories fit with the other iTEC concepts (in this video Future Classroom Scenarios are referred to as Learning Scenarios but they are exactly the same).<br>As this module's activity asks you to prepare <strong>a Learning Story, make sure you are clear about what this is</strong>. If you still have questions or would like to share some thoughts in response to these concepts, please share them in the Padlet below.</div><blockquote><em>&nbsp;I think that learning activities are based on the learning scenarios. Learning stories are the &nbsp; concrete activities we have planned for our students in a&nbsp; specific classroom scenario. But I am a bit confused with the exact difference&nbsp; between the Learning Stories and the Learning Activities. I hope that everything will get clear in a short while.</em></blockquote>]]></description>

         <title>5.3. Learning Stories in Action</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Let's see <strong>what a Learning Story can actually look like in the classroom</strong>. In the first video, one of the iTEC teachers and her students tell us about how the Learning Activities we explored in the previous section were turned into a Learning Story that was applied in their classroom.</div><div>Take this video as <strong>an inspiration</strong> of what your own Learning Story could look like in your classroom. Don't worry if you do not have as much technology in your classroom, it is perfectly possible to construct a Learning Story without any use of technology (although if you have access to technology it would be a shame not to use it). The key point of the iTEC methodology was less about technologies but to reconsider how we organize our lessons into <strong>more student-centred, project-focused and collaborative learning environments </strong>that support the development of 21st Century Skills. Technology can be a powerful tool to help us with this but it is not essential to achieving this goal.<br><br></div><div>The 2nd video was created by another <strong>iTEC teacher and her students</strong> and also documents a Learning Story that uses the same Learning Activities as the previous one but in quite a different context. This is a nice example of how a great result can be achieved using the iTEC methodology while <strong>having less access to technology</strong> and <strong>receiving less support from outside</strong> (via parents or outside experts, rather they use older students as in-school experts).<br>Finally, take a look at the 3rd video as an example of another Learning Story but using a different set of Learning Activities.<br>Could you see these ideas working in your classroom? What elements of these Learning Stories did you particularly like? Have you done something similar before? Share your thoughts on the three videos in the Padlet below them.</div><blockquote><em>I watched the three videos and I like them because all the planned activities  are student centred. In the videos the teachers provide guidance and feedback and the students are producers and collaborete creatively . The students have a lot of technology devices and use different tools appropiate to the task each group has to achieve. The students look really engaged and interested.</em></blockquote><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We have recently been working with the <a href="http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe">London Institute of Education</a> who have developed a very nice tool, <strong>the Learning Designer</strong>, which can <strong>help us in creating and sharing</strong> something similar to a <strong>Learning Story</strong>. It is especially important for us to be able to easily share Learning Stories <strong>so that we can get feedback and exchange best practices</strong>. The Learning Designer allows us to do this.<br>The Learning Designer allows you to create a number of teaching and learning activities (TLA), similar to iTEC Learning Activities, and assemble them to what they call a Learning Design which is very similar to an iTEC Learning Story.<br>You can see an <strong>example of a Learning Story created in the Learning Designer below the video</strong>. Make sure to scroll around the Learning Story because not all elements will be shown inside the window.<br>It is important that you <strong>familiarize yourself with the Learning Designer</strong> because for the final assessment of the course you will have to create a Learning Story using the Learning Designer.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are approaching the end of the course and it's <strong>time to get ready for your final assessment</strong>. Now we call this an assessment because we use it to determine who has completed the course successfully. However, in spirit, this should be seen much more as another learning exercise that will <strong>help your planning for your future classroom</strong>.<br><br></div><div>So here is what you have to do for the final assessment:<br><br></div><div><strong>1. Prepare a Learning Story using the Learning Designer tool (submission due date 19th February, 23:59h Brussels time)<br></strong><br></div><div>2. Review two Learning Stories of your peers (submission due date 26th February, 23:59h Brussels time)<br><br></div><div>This week we set you the first task of preparing a Learning Story.<br><br></div><div>For this, you will have to <strong>use the </strong><a href="http://learningdesigner.org/"><strong>Learning Designer tool</strong></a><strong> which was introduced in section 5.4.</strong> Make sure to watch the introduction on how to use the Learning Designer before starting this task.<br><br></div><div>When you have finished your Learning Story, <strong>click the "Share" button in the Learning Designer</strong> and you will receive a link to your Learning Story. You will have to <strong>submit this link as your final assessment in Module 6.<br></strong>LEARNING STORY CRITERIA<br>When you create your Learning Story try to <strong>apply as many elements from the course as possible</strong>. For example, try to <strong>integrate some of the Learning Activities and technology tools</strong> that were introduced throughout the course. Here is a list of criteria you should consider when creating your Learning Story. You will also use this list to provide feedback to your peers in the 2nd task of the final assessment.<br><strong>- The Learning Story develops 21st Century Skills:</strong> for example, activities develop collaborative skills in addition to acquisition of knowledge<br><strong>- The Learning Story uses technology to develop 21st Century Skills:</strong> for example, technology is used as a tool to produce something (a film, animation, presentation, etc.) or is used for students to collaborate more easily inside and outside of the classroom<br><strong>- The Learning Story is well aligned with its learning outcomes:</strong> activities and assessment clearly link with the defined learning outcomes and allow the teacher to determine by the end of the Story if the objectives have been achieved<br><strong>- The Learning Story is balanced:</strong> there is a good mix of activities with at least four different Learning Activities used (TLAs in the Learning Designer) and none of the Activities taking up more than 35% of the time (see the pie chart for this)</div>]]></description>

         <title>5.2. From Learning Activities to Learning Story: An example</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Now that you know what a Learning Story is, let's look at one in more detail and examine <strong>how we move from Learning Activities to Learning Stories</strong>. In this video, Will introduces you to an example of how an iTEC teacher has used generic Learning Activities and turned them into an <strong>innovative and contextualised narrative</strong> to use in the classroom, in other words a Learning Story.<br><br></div><div>After watching the overview in the video, take a closer look at what Will describes in the video by examining <strong>the generic Learning Activities</strong> that make up the Learning Story presented by Will. Note that the Learning Activities used here are slightly more comprehensive Learning Activities than the ones we looked at as part of Module 4 in that they can span a whole lesson or even more. However, they follow the Learning Activity pattern of concrete and context-independent activities that could be used in any subject or with any age group. <strong>You will use these Learning Activities for your own Learning Story</strong>, so make sure you read them all.<br><br></div><div>Then take a look at the 2nd set of Learning Activities. These are in fact <strong>the same Learning Activities but the description has now been contextualised to the subject and classroom</strong> of the teacher. Also Learning Activities have been organized in such a way to support the narrative of the Learning Story. Again, make sure you take a close look, as this provides you with <strong>a very good example of what you will be asked to do for the final assessment</strong>.<br><br>DREAM</div><div>You present a design brief to your class that ties to the curriculum and the local community, but leaves room for interpretation. You inspire the students by providing them with the motivation for giving their best and by telling them about the ownership and freedom over the task. You present your schedule, and negotiate the assessment criteria with the class. Students form teams, discuss, question and familiarize themselves with the design brief. The teams refine their design brief, particularly in relation to whom they are designing for, initial design challenges and possible design results. Students record reflections and document their work online.<br><br>EXPLORE</div><div>Student teams explore the context of a topic or question either by observing relevant practices or environments using digital cameras, notebooks and microphones, or by searching existing works that relate to the topic or question by collecting relevant examples that they can use in answering the question or explaining the topic. They share their collected media files on their blogs and record a reflection. You guide their search and support them in the qualification of their material. Note that viewing and qualifying video material can be time consuming. Spending time viewing videos that contain inaccurate information, can be a detour from which a pedagogically meaningful conversation may arise, and may provide students with a first-hand experience about the appearance of an invalid source. Some students, for example younger ones, may need more guidance in performing this activity.<br><br>MAP</div><div>Teams analyse their findings on a given question or topic using mind-mapping techniques. They identify relations, similarities and differences between the examples and/or media files they collected. Based on their collected information and analysis, the teams refine their answers or explanations to the given topic or question. Then the teams record a reflection. Open ended questions can be challenging for students to answer initially. However, after passing the initial threshold, students are likely to have inspiring ideas.<br><br></div><div><br>REFLECT</div><div>Students and the teacher record, post and share audio-visual reflections and feedback of project progress, challenges and future steps. The students slowly build a shared collection of ways to tackle challenges, which can be used after the project ended.<br><br>MAKE</div><div>Based on a design brief and design ideas, student teams start making a product. They create their first prototype, and discuss it afterwards. The discussion especially relates to how well the design addresses the identified design challenges. They then record a reflection and document their activities. Careful guidance through the learning activities and the process of creation is indispensable for students to keep their minds on learning potential curricular requirements. Highlight the reflection after this activity and ensure that everyone focuses on addressing the needs of an audience. To avoid free-riders or unequal workload division, carefully divide tasks and roles within teams.<br><br>ASK</div><div>After having created a product as part of their work (prototype, presentation, design, etc.) student teams meet with 2–4 “experts”. These “experts” could be future users, readers, or recipients of the product created by the team. Expertise may be interpreted broadly, for example, a construction site worker can be considered to offer deep insight into the everyday practices of people on a building site. Other students or teachers can also be considered as “experts” in certain areas. The student teams communicate their ideas using prints, drawings, models or other supporting materials. The “experts” are encouraged to modify and comment on the product. After the meeting the students analyze the comments and decide how to interpret them for their re-design. They then refine their product, especially in relation to the challenges, context and added value of the result, record a reflection and update their documentation. This activity can happen more than once at varying time investments and can be conducted online or face to face.<br><br>SHOW</div><div>Students create a video with English subtitles presenting the results of an investigation, a product they have created or some other piece of work. In the video they also address their learning achievements and possible future steps. They share this video with other students in the school, their parents and their identified audience to transfer their learning, to communicate the background of their project, to let others know about the possibility to remix their work, and to receive feedback for improvement.<br><br>COLLABORATE</div><div>Students collaborate with students from other schools. Ad-hoc and serendipitous collaboration, driven by the students is encouraged<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>6.2. Peer review in the classroom and as a tool for professional development</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As part of the final assessment you will have to do a peer review of your colleagues' work. It is therefore important to <strong>consider the concept of peer review or peer assessment</strong> in more detail.<br>As you will know, the concept of peer review is deeply enshrined in the work of academics at universities. Much of their career depends on writing peer-reviewed articles. In teaching, <strong>peer-review or peer observation is less common</strong> (this applies also to university level teaching, probably even more so). However, if done well, it can be a <strong>powerful way to improve our teaching practise as it results in collaboration, reflection and often is a stimulus to try out something new.<br></strong>The key benefit of such a process is, that it <strong>does not only benefit the person receiving the feedback but also the person providing the feedback</strong>. Reviewing or assessing someone else's work requires a <strong>reflection of one's own work</strong> as well as a reflection of <strong>what works and what doesn't</strong>. Peer review is therefore an effective form of <strong>professional development for both sides</strong> taking part in the review.<br>Peer review is of course also an <strong>effective activity for students</strong> that promotes collaboration, critical thinking and self-reflection. Take a look at the video below from MIT where professors and students tell of their experiences of using peer-review in teaching and in academia. It introduces a lot of interesting ideas about the value of peer-review.<br>However, peer review for professional development or as an activity for students is not an easy activity and it needs to be done well in order to be effective. What do you think about these strategies? Do you agree that peer review of each other's lesson plans or peer observations in lessons can be a useful form of professional development? What experience do you have with these strategies? What about peer-review as a student activity? What tips can you give to make peer-review in the classroom more effective?<em><br></em><br><em>&nbsp;I really agree that peer-review is a very good strategy to improve our work . It is useful for teachers because it opens our mind and helps us to comprehend what&nbsp; might not work or what could be improved in our lesson plan. I think that comparison is enrichment and it can increase the quality of our work. Peer-review is really effective also for students because they are readier to accept insights from their peers than from their teachers. I often use this strategy in my lessons because it contributes to develop collaboration and critical thinking.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In Module 4, you had the chance of hearing from María Jesús García about different tools that you could use in a Future Classroom scenario for creating educational infographics or posters. Maria Jesús gave us different tips we need to take into account in order to create a good infographic, such as always including a title, the authorship and license, creating clear, simple and direct images, or making the text readable, among other things.<br>Some of the web tools María Jesús suggested to use in a flipped classroom or to use for collaboration purposes with your students, are the following:  <br>Easel.ly<br>Picktochart<br>Canva<br>Smore<br>Tackk<br>Padlet<br>Eduglogster<br>As we think the best way of learning new tools is actually trying them, we would like you to investigate about these tools, choose one, and create a poster or infographic. It can be related to any topic you might be interested about: sciences, maths, foreign languages, etc.<br>Once you have created your infographics, please write a note in the following padlet and share the picture. Also, choose an infographic made by another colleague, and make a constructive comment about it, including a description of it, and the tool you have used to do it. Do you like this tool and why? Why not? Do you think you can use this tool in your classroom? For what purposes? Share your thoughts and ideas as well in the Padlet below.<br>Please bear in mind that this activity is not compulsory in order to pass the modules of the course, but it is just a way for you to improve your teaching practice across a variety of digital tools.<br>Thanks to all for your great work during this course.<br><br>Looking forward to seeing your beautiful posters and infographics!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1. Read the Criteria for a Good Learning Story</strong> and make sure your own Learning Story follows all these points:<br>CRITERIA FOR A GOOD LEARNING STORY<br>Here is a list of criteria you should consider when creating your Learning Story and to use for your peer review of the Learning Stories of two other people on the course:<strong>- The Learning Story develops 21st Century Skills:</strong> for example, activities develop collaborative skills in addition to acquisition of knowledge<strong>- The Learning Story uses technology to develop 21st Century Skills:</strong> for example, technology is used as a tool to produce something (a film, animation, presentation, etc.) or is used for students to collaborate more easily inside and outside of the classroom<strong>- The Learning Story is well aligned with its learning outcomes:</strong> activities and assessment clearly link with the defined learning outcomes and allow the teacher to determine by the end of the Story if the objectives have been achieved<strong>- The Learning Story is balanced:</strong> there is a good mix of activities with at least four different Learning Activities used (TLAs in the Learning Designer) and none of the Activities taking up more than 35% of the time (see the pie chart for this)<br>3.<strong>Review three Learning Stories.</strong> Wait until you have received an email confirming that you have been allocated 2 tasks of your peers to review. You will then be able to post comments on each of the 2 Learning Stories of your peers in the text box that will be available below each of the tasks. Take a look at <a href="http://academy.schooleducationgateway.eu/documents/407687/0/Example+peer+review/fc5b0e78-d62c-4295-9c09-0d84f8b14df0">this document</a> for an example of the kind of feedback that should be provided, as well as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBdlwOAIJ4w&amp;feature=youtu.be">this video</a> which provides guidance on how to write a peer review of another teacher's work. Make sure that after having posted your comments in the text box, you click the "Assess" button.<br>Please follow the Criteria for a Good Learning Story (above) to provide feedback to your peers. Make sure to comment on each of the criteria and make at least one suggestion of how you could further improve/develop the Learning Story.<br>4. Read the feedback for your own Learning Story. You will receive an email once you can look at the feedback that has been provided for your Learning Story. Once its ready you will be able to see the feedback on this page.<br>Now this whole activity <strong>relies on your integrity and professionalism.</strong> Please take it seriously, <strong>don't plagiarise and provide valuable and friendly feedback.</strong> There is nothing more frustrating than having put a lot of work into a great Learning Story and then not being provided the professional courtesy by someone who does not take the review process seriously.<br><strong>Reviews received<br></strong>Review made By Desislava Trendafilova date 20-02-2017 07:42</div><div><strong>Comment</strong></div><div>Hello Angela,I like your learning story very much. I think it is a good one and I may use it in my classes (if you allow).It is well balanced. Students will be engaged all the time. And it will develop 21 century skills. Very well!You didn't put any Outcomes. You may think of some. it is very important for us as teachers to plan what we expect of every lesson.And one more thing you may think of. You plan formative assessment at the beginning wirth Socrative. You may do it again at the end, despite of the fact you plan other assessments. This is a good way to measure what students learnt.Once again congratulations for the inspiring learning story.Take care,Desi<br>Review made By Edit Ráthné Tóth date 20-02-2017 18:20</div><div><strong>Comment</strong></div><div>Dear Angela, here's my assessment:<strong>The Learning Story develops 21st Century Skills:</strong> Absolutely! You use group work with a lot of collaboration and up-to-date IT tools, communication in a foreign language  is developed. The development of creativity is also assured: students can search on the net and find articles and pictures. Perhaps it would be great if they made an advert for this trip to their schoolmates,too! <strong>The Learning Story uses technology to develop 21st Century Skills:</strong> You plan to use a wide range of digital tools for collaboration, assessment and mind-mapping, which is great! <strong>The Learning Story is well aligned with its learning outcomes:</strong> Yes, it is.<strong>The Learning Story is balanced:</strong> Yes, you incuded enough TLA-s, there is a good mixture of interesting tasks. None of the activities dominate the others. One thing I would recommend you to include: the show phase would need to be more for the public: you could make the groups present the end products to a bigger audience like other students at the school or to the headmaster, parents etc.Altogether I liked your design, congratulations and good luck in your future carreer!  All the best, Edit<br>Review made By Claudia Vitale date 19-02-2017 13:08</div><div><strong>Comment</strong></div><div>Congratulations. Very good and interesting work. It's important to compare our own job to the colleagues' ones to improve our teaching methods and get new ideas. <br><br></div><h1><strong>Step 2. Review your colleagues</strong></h1><div><a href="https://v.gd/Px9siz">https://v.gd/Px9siz</a></div><div>Description: Dear Francesca , I also teach English in a middle school in Castellammare near Naples. I like your learning story.I planned a PBL design very similar to yours.Here is my assessment. You use group works with a lot of collaborations and  up-to-date  i tools. Communication in a foreign language is developed. You foster creativity . The learning story is well aligned with its learning outcomes. You included a lot of learning TLAs. None of the activities takes more than 35% of the time in the pie chart. One thing I wuold recommend you to include: assessment (formative assessment and peer- evaluation).Altogether, I like your learning story. Congratulations ang good work!
