I teach Italian Language, History and Geography at a lower Secondary School located in a small mountain village. My students are 11 - 14 years old.
The school I teach at is very small. 
This year the pupils are few (only 18), divided in two classes; one is a mixed-level class where 6th and 7th grade students are together. 
In our school there are three classrooms, each with an interactive whiteboard; we have some laptops, some personal computers and tablets and a good Internet connectivity. That helps us to go beyond our geographical isolation.]]> 2017-10-03 15:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maricri1/m5hc9srrdhgi/wish/193490900 maricri1 https://padlet.com/maricri1/m5hc9srrdhgi/wish/193668698 Learning objectives 

1. Become familiarized with the properties of the planet Earth, Earth’s movements and seasons
2. Explore ICT tools to teach about the properties of Earth
3. Explore and experiment with teaching activities
4. Understand aspects of gender balance, cultural diversity and how to get students engaged in these topics

This is not easy because the classes are composed of only few students: I usually see individuals, not males and females! 
These  are good adviceses in order to guarantee equal and fair student participation: 

• rotate “who answers, how often, and when”, making sure that students from both genders contribute equally;
• provide enough wait-time after asking students a question, allowing everybody enough time to think; a step further could also be the teacher stopping any students from raising their hands until requested to do so
• provide various ways to respond, different from just speaking in front of the class (these could be the discussion of materials in small groups or even explaining ideas in a journal).

Astrobiology studies the possibility of life beyond Earth 1) searching the answer both in outer space and on Earth, studing extremophiles, micro organisms that could thrive in extremely harsh conditions 2) searching radio signals.
