I teach English as a Foreign Language in a Secondary School in Rome. 
I've been teaching English for 15 years. I'm specialized in developing ICT in the classroom.I like learning new things, I think life-long learning is the aim of a good teacher. I like trying new methods to make my lessons interactive and I believe this digital period forces us to march in step with progress and I want to be at the very forefront.

The school has got some classes with Interactive White Boards and projectors and two labs: a computer lab and a video room. I have been training to use technology in the classroom and my students are enthusiastic. 
I often use collaborative learning - task based activities so students can learn by doing. I started to flip some of my lessons following the Flipped Classroom approach. In this way, I'm re-organizing the learning time and trying to develop my students' digital skills, too.

Do you agree with the teachers’ opinions? Is there perhaps an aspect they have not yet addressed? emiliana_rufo https://padlet.com/emiliana_rufo/MENTEPcourse/wish/209782823 I agree with the teachers. I think TET-SAT tool is a great way to understand better the development of teachers’ professional digital competence, it will help them to reflect and identify some weaknesses trying to improve them. It's a way of helping teachers to prepare lessons by using ICT in diverse environments.
    I usually use ICT in my lessons and with my students, I want to become more aware of what I do and I think this tool could help me doing this and especially it will help me understand how I could improve my way of using ICT, how I can enhance my way of teaching, what can I do more?

In my school I have Interactive monitors and tablets, so I usually create lessons in which my students are at the centre of their learning. We have a Virtual class in Google Classroom where we share our videos and digital products created by online tools. I create cooperative learning activities and I let my students work on real tasks which result is the presentation of a final digital product. Most of my activities are in my web site: https://emilianarufo.wordpress.com/

    I think sharing is the first step of collaboration.
    I thank teachers who are part of online communities and make their lessons available for others.
    I do the same and I believe using online content, videos, online interactive exercises and web tools with devices is one of the ways to engage students’ attention in every lesson and make them develop competences for life.

    I’m continuing my professional development everyday. I want to become an expert teacher in ICT.

Designing engaging learning activities with ICT
    I think the level of competence is Expert. 
    The activity created for the students is thought to enhance students' learning by using web tools and devices. There is the use of collaborative methodology because students can work in pairs to revise topics. They can learn by doing and present their map to the class to develop and revise their projects.
    I use the same methodology, devices and web tools.

Design and management of ICT learning environments
    I think the level is capable.
    The activities created for the students are thought to motivate and involve students in e-twinning projects by using online web tools, such as Padlet, Zeemap,  Tricider, Powtoon, the same web tools I use in my e-twinning projects. One tool is most used and it's "RealTime Board", an app to collaborate and share ideas in team online. I think the activities are well organized.
