Gamification and vocabulary by ALEJANDRA PANIZO MAYO https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l This is our Padlet to develop our Valiant project en-us 2021-11-11 11:20:07 UTC 2025-03-18 20:07:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f469-1f3eb.png Gamification and vocabulary in the English class. alejandrapanmay https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1883920381 Our common challenge is teaching vocabulary to our 16-18 year-old students without losing their motivation.

We would be interested on creating games dealing  with one or more of the following topics:
-Jobs
-Food and restaurants.
-Shopping.

We would also be glad to use ICTs.]]> 2021-11-11 11:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1883920381 alejandrapanmay https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1883925686 Hi! I'm Alejandra. I'm currently living in a village in the north of León called Cistierna.  With it's 3000 inhabitants, it is popularly known as the "door to Vadinia's country". Vadinia was the name of the celtic tribe which lived here in the past. However, my origins lie in Madrid, the capital city, where I was born, going through Ponferrada, León and some other cities, towns and  villages where I have worked. I'm a teacher of English at a state secondary school in a village in the north of Palencia called Guardo, 30 minutes away from the place where I live. And I must say I absolutely love living surrounded by nature, as you can see in my picture.

This is my seventh year as a teacher of English. Although my previous experience has been basically with secondary education students, I'm currently working for the first time with vocational training students dealing with several topics: administration, business, finance and electricity. This means that I have a wide range of ages in class: my youngest student is 17 and my oldest is about 52 years old.

Although the lockdown due to the COVID19 crisis was hard as it was for everybody, I have to say that it gave me the opportunity to face challenges and reach objectives I had never thought about before. Appart from being a teacher of English at a secondary school with only 84 students, I was also part of the Administration Team, library coordinator and taking part on an Erasmus exchange project...and we didn't give up on anything. We tried to organise everything: teachers, students, new timetables, projects, family meetings, etc. This experience made me realise that I wouldn't have been able to reach a 100% of Internet connection with all our students (we kept on calling every single family, we asked for grants for those who couldn't afford connection, we organised a laptop lending system with the help of the townhall), so all in all, I wanted to go on working in a village.

This course, due to personal reasons, I'm working at a different place, but it is still a village, with the same advantages but also full of challenges. One of them is the difficult access to different international projects. That's why I've joined this project, because rural areas deserve good opportunities to open students' minds as well. Another reason is that after participating in different job shadowing experiences, I'm sure this one will be really revealing and rewarding.

I'm looking forward to working with you all!]]> 2021-11-11 11:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1883925686 Ditza Graça, Portugal f461 https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1886883890 Hello everybody! I’m Ditza and I’m from Portugal. I have lived in Portugal all my life, except for 14 months which I spent working in London, right after I graduated and just before I started working as a teacher.
I have been teaching English at secondary level for a very long time. During the last 12 years I participated in many Comenius / Erasmus+ projects. That has allowed me to visit schools in many European countries, learn about the different school systems and policies, share experiences and best practices. The only project I coordinated even received an award for Best Practice in 2020 :) 
Teaching during the pandemic wasn’t hard; I have always been keen on ICT so using online platforms and tools wasn’t much of a challenge. The hardest thing was to be away from the students, I find face to face teaching to be much better, at least with young teenagers.
I have joined this Virtual Exchange because I am always trying to learn new things to improve my lessons. ICT tools and digital game-based learning are an example, so you can imagine how thrilled I am to have been included in the “Using gamification in foreign language teaching” group. I am also looking forward to working and learning with all of you.]]> 2021-11-12 15:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1886883890 Teachers's first meeting: alejandrapanmay https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1886909865 ✔12/11/21 @ 16:00 (CET)- Zoom]]> 2021-11-12 15:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1886909865 Arif Hammdam arifhammdam10 https://padlet.com/alejandrapanmay/kctqeynfyd3nc38l/wish/1888622359 My name is Arif Hammdam. I am originally from Afghanistan, but living in Sweden. I moved to Sweden in 2016 and since then, I have been living in a small town called “ Hagfors” located in Värmland county. 

I have studied English Literature in my home country and worked as an English teacher and interpreter for the British Council and other organizations.

Since settling in Sweden, I have been working as a mother tongue teacher, interpreter and teacher assistant for Hagfors municipality. This is something I am doing now too.  In addition to my current job at school, I am a student of Teacher Education at Linköping University, and now I am in my final term. 

Despite all challenges, teaching has been one of my favorite professions since childhood. This is why, I am pursuing my education to become a certified teacher in Sweden. 
The main reason for applying for this  program is to meet teachers and student teachers from other countries to exchange ideas and experiences on teaching and learning. I am very interested to learn more about teaching experiences from other teachers coming from different countries across Europe. Moreover, I would like to share my own knowledge and experience with others and would let them know how distance teaching/learning affected our students and how we have handled the situation here in Sweden. 

I am looking very much forward to meeting you all and learning more from you in the next coming weeks. 
Best regards, 
Arif Hammda
