Pretty much everything is closed in Nice today. There is no public transportation and much restaurants, shops and museums are closed. However, the locals celebrated the Start of Spring with a huge gathering which encompasses traditional dancing, music and general frolicking around the Roman Ruins. In Nice be Niçoise and make a picnic in the park.]]> 2022-05-01 17:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2165891422 gabrielarodrigues21 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167362549 During our first day we met our teacher Frances and our classmates from Spain and Germany. We presented our school and ourselves and we learned about new strategies and digital tools, such as radio.garden and Drive & Listen.]]> 2022-05-02 20:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167362549 paulamesquita5 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167372036 Listen to radio stations all over the world...]]> 2022-05-02 20:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167372036 paulamesquita5 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167374779 Get to know Nice while driving...]]> 2022-05-02 20:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2167374779 anaamaro6 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2168839565 With Symbaloo we can easily save, share, and organize our favourites.

On this day we also learned about Nearpod, a collaborative presentation tool useful to edit videos and use them in an educational context.

No, not that kind of carousel! That's a technique which envolves simultaneous work stations.  Each group is given different tasks/tools  and then move from station to station, discussing the task as they go. We were divided into three groups and learned about design templates (Canva), Emoticons & Emojis, Still Images  and Mind Maps (Coggle).                             ]]> 2022-05-04 19:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2170476408 paulamesquita5 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2172051956 Today we started our morning using a set of cards. The Strength Cards are designed to facilitate reflection and help people share narratives around their own strengths and successes. Then we moved to other tools that bring creativity to the classroom and help to create digital books: Book Creator and Story Jumper.
Project Zero is an online resource that explores topics in education such as deep thinking, understanding, intelligence, creativity and ethics.
To finish our working morning we analyzed how Instagram influences teenagers' behaviour and discussed the dangers hidden in social media. Taking into account a tragic incident caused by a poll voting on this social media, we used it to motivate students to write different types of texts.

We really tried and did our best. We focused on incorporate one or two digital tools in a lesson, connecting them to our written curriculum. 
Important reminder: Remember that a digital tool is NOT a lesson.]]> 2022-05-09 22:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176509230 anaamaro6 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176513716 At the end of our training, we revisited our initial burning questions, shared parts of the work in progress with some colleagues, received our certificates and took the official photo.]]> 2022-05-09 22:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176513716 anaamaro6 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176524059 As there wasn't an official farewell dinner, we made our own. There is no Côte d'Azur without Moules frites and Chardonnay!
We listened to the accordéon, laughed a lot and told funny stories and were attended to by a Brazilian waitress. That's Nissa, la Bella!..and us!]]> 2022-05-09 22:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176524059 anaamaro6 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176532669 On the last day, we had time to get to know a little bit of the local culture. Ana and Paula went on an adventure with a hop-on hop-off bus along the town and its surroundings. We took some time to visit Villefranche-sur-Mer, a wonderful settling nestled into a lovely bay overlooking the cruise ships in front of Cap-Ferrat. We were lucky enough to watch La Rade Classique - a race of old classical cars. It was the calm before the tempest- our eventful journey back.]]> 2022-05-09 22:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2176532669 gabrielarodrigues21 https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2178126360 One of the cultural activities available for the last day was a Nice Food Tour. We started at Auers Chocolatier where we tasted some wonderful chocolates and dried fruit. Then we moved on to the busy and colouful Flower Market where Frances, our guide and teacher, gave us dried tomatoes and olives to taste. French pastry with red fruits was a treat waiting for us at Le Promenade des Anglais, the perfect scenery to enjoy such delight. We moved on the busy streets of Vieux-Nice, to the Caves Caprioglio wine shop just to find out that rosé wine, cheese and onion and anchoves pie are a perfect match. Just across the street we still had the chance to taste wonderful olive oil and Modena Vinegar at Maison Bremond, and finally, we ended this wonderful food tour at Chez Theresa to enjoy the traditional  Niçoise socca (a pancake made of chickpeas) which goes well with the Socca beer. It was a tour to remember, which filled my stomach and my heart, as well. ]]> 2022-05-10 18:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/paulamesquita5/kvaol9qiuj5iaddx/wish/2178126360
