luisanogueira1 — 2022-04-04 14:01:52 UTC

I am confident I will learn ways to improve classroom learning.
Expectation is high.

Mihaela Epure, Romania

emikkaela — 2022-04-04 17:50:41 UTC

I plan to dedicate weekly time to read and study. I shall switch off the devices, so that I will not be distracted and allow myself reflection time.
I shall follow the course at home, preferably on Mondays (when I have fewer classes at school).
I plan to spend 3-4 hours per week, or more if necessary or applicable.
I am not a big fan of the Pomodoro technique because, generally, I do not prefer to be rushed or time-imposed in any way, when it comes to studying. I allocate differentiated time to diverse contents according to their difficulty, degree of interest to me or will to investigate more.

Susana Mendes, Portugal

2022-04-04 17:54:56 UTC

I intend to take this course in the late afternoon, at home and alone. I think I spend about 2 hours a day ( monday), and there may be a need to take breaks if there are a lot of videos. My self-regulated learning competence will be reinforced if the course is taken from the computer, and not from a tablet or smartphone, and eventually with some notes on paper.

Onyedika S.O,Nigeria

2022-04-04 22:08:49 UTC

My desire is to continue this course in the night hours when I am done with office. This will give me more time to attend to the various sections and read through enough resources. I intend to spend up to 2 hours each day to meet up with the set time.
I am not using any particular technique but I follow my learning style which is to read when everywhere is calm to help my concentration.

İrfan Yakın, TURKIYE

irfanyakin — 2022-04-04 23:18:50 UTC

I am sure I am a nocturnal learner. There is no interruption by a delivery man knocking at the door, by kids playing hide&seek in the house, or by the noise of the cars on the street. I am used to reading and watching all the content in the module at once. Then I revise all the content with more attention. I think one should not limit herself/himself with exact study time. We are not machines. If I feel good, I keep studying but if I feel tired I pause. By the way I discovered that I spend about 20 minutes and then have a 5-minutes-break. And I can say that I spend about 80 minutes a day.

Diana Pastoriza, Spain

bookclubberrib — 2022-04-05 09:12:56 UTC

I normally work in intense bouts, especially when the topic is of interest to me, as is the case with this course.

I prefer to set aside a longer period of time, like a whole afternoon or morning, when I can have my sketchnote app or notebook by me and the computer open with several tabs to read and absorb information and then summarize main points or takeaways in a sketchnote and can then take a look at later or share with others.

Sandra Melro|Portugal

sandramelro1 — 2022-04-05 09:42:38 UTC

I will take my course at tuesday morning, alone at home. I will spend 2hours. I tried to apply some Pomodoro Tecchiniques. I use a PC, and usually I watch all the videos, more than once.

Lana Ribaric, Croatia

2022-04-05 17:56:00 UTC

I´m currently studying to become a Master of Early and Preschool Education but the topic of this course was just too interesting to pass on. In the past year, I´ve found a way to organize my work, education, and professional development. I love the Pomodoro technique, I often listen to music and it helps me stay focused. When I´m in different situations (work, education, etc.) that require focused work I change settings: somectimes I learn in a cafe, sometimes at home.

Georgeta Enache, Romania

2022-04-05 18:07:50 UTC

I intend to give my students a projects about foresst without any help from me in a self-regulated work the students.

Maria Beer, România

mariaadrianabeer — 2022-04-05 18:27:52 UTC

I organize my own learning in this course in the evening. I take the class at home, in front of the laptop, for two or three hours with 5-minute breaks every 30 minutes worked. I don't draw tomatoes every break, but it's a good idea. I will use the Pomodoro Technique with my students in class and encourage them to repeat the self-directed learning experience at home.

Elisa Lenzi (Italy, 8 Circolo Piacenza)

elisalenzi3 — 2022-04-05 18:45:28 UTC

I will try to devote enough time to this course to be able to perceive all the concepts that will be developed.
From 24 to 30 April I will be in Dublin for the Erasmus mobility with some colleagues, so I will have to try to make the most of the remaining weeks using the Pomodoro technique.

Ana Paula , Portugal

anagaspar1 — 2022-04-06 10:58:20 UTC

I' m thinking about working on this course on wednesday mornings with my colleagues that are also working on it. Later, on weekends, I'll spend also about one hour , it depends on the work I have from school.I already use the Pomodoro technique in simple tasks at home. So I'm going to use it also in this course and with my students.

Marija, Slovenia

2022-04-06 13:52:00 UTC

I will try not to disperse the activities too much throughout the week because I don't want to be hindered by forgetting things. I will also try doing it in the afternoon because if I put things towards the evening I end up not doing them at all because I'm too tired.

Cornelia Alina Moţ, Romania

corneliamot79 — 2022-04-06 16:03:36 UTC

I try to organize my own learning in this course in the evening. The classes are done from home, in front of the laptop, 1 hour - two hours with a 10 minute break every 50 minutes worked. I will use the Pomodoro Technique with my students in the classroom and encourage them to repeat the self-directed learning experience at home.

Bel Caparroz, Spain

teacherBel — 2022-04-06 16:45:11 UTC

I’m trying to work every day. I’m writing the most important information on my diary and I to remember the relevant details for me. I studying at home, from Spain, after the classes. It’s not easy, because the Easter break is almost here and the final countdown is quite complicated, so… I’m trying to do my best. I’m really interested and motivated, so this will be great for sure. I’m spending 3 days on a week and I have not idea about the Pomodoro Technique. Are you using it? Can you help me? 🤬

Maria Cristina Cella Ottavo Circolo Piacenza, Italy

crilufra22 — 2022-04-07 13:21:17 UTC

This course is part of those selected from our "European Professional Development Study Group" as preparatory activities for the Erasmus mobilities and for a better implementation of shared educational actions.
I'm teaching in Pre-Primary School, I'm Headmaster Deputy and Kindergarden Schools of my Institution are coordinate by me.
Despite my business engagement I think actually that take part to this course is very important for my training.
As soon as possible I spend my time following my new knowledge experience.

Daniela Russo, Italy

2022-04-07 15:27:39 UTC

Two-four hours a week to do at home with The Pomodoro techinque.

Dagmar Heinze

dheinze1 — 2022-04-07 16:08:50 UTC

Holidays start tomorrow, that means I am free to concentrate on this course every day. I will spend one Hour learning at Home, very comfortable.

annekathrinmartinez — 2022-04-08 09:49:30 UTC

I am planning to directly work regualry on mondays (after the new moduls are opened) on the course. So I won´t get sloppy :)
I have a short time frame of 2,5h at home to do so. I hope that will be sufficient.

Konstantina Eirini, Greece

irenekoufou — 2022-04-08 12:06:44 UTC

we are not on Easter break yet so the most suitable time for me to follow the course is from Friday to Sunday, from home and mainly at noon. I will tryto systematically use the pomodoro technique even though I didnt know the name I did follow it many times based on experience.

Željka, Croatia I like to work in the morning, when I am fresh and creative. Since, during the week I have things to do related to my work in school, I will work during the weekends and holidays. I will do it from my living room, while having my morning coffee. I think, I will need 3 hours as indicated in the description. I am not going to use any specific strategies related to time managment.

zeljkawinkler2 — 2022-04-09 10:12:23 UTC

J.L.Spain

2022-04-09 10:29:56 UTC

I try to organize my own learning on this course in the afternoons or evenings.
. Classes are held from home, with my tablet 1 hour - two hours with a 10 minute break every 50 minutes worked.

I have been using the Pomodoro Technique for several years with my students in the classroom with good results in most cases.

I will try to repeat the self-directed learning experience at home this term and I will see the results before the end of the course, to try to compare them later with those of previous years.

dludmilaa30 — 2022-04-09 15:48:35 UTC

Acest curs voi urma în zilele de odihnă, atunci sunt odihnită și pot lucra mai mult timp. Tehnica Pomodoro am folosit, nu așa am numit. Pauze de reflecție folosesc cu elevii, ei sunt mici și sunt orientați

AIKATERINI (CATHY) SIDERI, GREECE

kate_sideri — 2022-04-09 18:00:44 UTC

I've already planned the time and place of my study. I know how much time I can spare from my other obligations and I always use the Pomodoro Technique. Notes-taking is of course absolutely necessary.

Gülperi Fatih-Turkey

2022-04-09 21:10:29 UTC

I am a preschool teacher in a kindergarten. My school is on break for a week. I want to complete the course this holiday. Note taking is necessary for self-regulation and follow-up.

Marisa Badini Ottavo Circolo Piacenza. Italy

openroadsmb — 2022-04-09 23:13:51 UTC

When starting a new online course, I usually look carefully at the goals and planning, just to consider when and how to manage the different materials and.tasks. this time the MOOC is in a buzy time for me , so I'm planning to use the Commitment Inventory first, (just to consider priorities and say "Not right now" to other possible engagements) and then to think in checklists rather then "to do" lists, to positively plan my activities. Moreover I' ll share reflections with the School Study Group, in order to activate mutual support and implementation of what we are learning. I definitely think I will improve my own way to work , getting things better done.

The Planning Process

miinnervargas — 2022-04-09 23:55:19 UTC

How are you organising your own learning on this course?

Frankly? Not very well, I'm running late. It is Saturday afternon and I'm at this activity.

When and where will you follow the course?

I'll be working from home since we are working on a basis of hybrid classes.

How much time do you plan to spend on it?

For sure, I'll be working on weekends, it'll be like 3-4 hours each day.

Will you use any specific study strategies such as the Pomodoro Technique?

I'm reading about it in Wikipedia. I might try it but I'm not sure...

Ioana Fedeleș, Romania

fedelesioana — 2022-04-10 16:32:13 UTC

• How do you organize your own learning in this course?
To be honest, not very well, I'm late. It's Sunday afternoon and I'm going through this activity.
• When and where will you take the course?
I will work from home, because during the week we have classes in physical format.
• How long do you plan to spend with her?
Most likely, I will work on weekends, I think it will be about 3 hours every day.
• Will you use specific study strategies, such as the Pomodoro Technique?
I used the Pomodoro technique, that's not what I called it. I use pauses for reflection with students, they are small and oriented

Alex_PT

teacheralex_dua — 2022-04-10 19:32:47 UTC

I usually take notes (yes, handwritten notes) of what I believe is more relevant; I also use checklists and set priorities!
As said before, I'm following this MOOC within a school study group and, as such, on my own, I first have a general look at the module's goals, its content and assigned tasks so that I'm able to support my study group. I've arranged to work with some colleagues on Wednesday mornings and, with others, on Thursday afternoons. Whenever we can't meet F2F or questions arise, we meet online. The allocated time will surely vary weekly, depending on the groups' availability, on the workload/tasks and doubts.
When working alone, I do use the Pomodoro technique, but with my colleagues, we also have breaks - even if it's just for a cup of tea or a dose of caffeine!

Vicky Dogani, Greece

2022-04-10 20:09:35 UTC

I spend two hours a week. I use self learning and keep diary. Try to approach course. I follow the course.

Selena Botti - D.D. 8 Circolo Piacenza - Italy

Maestra_Selena — 2022-04-10 20:28:51 UTC

I follow and carry out the course partly with my School Study Group, partly at home in my free time.
I think it will be about 1 hour every day.

Fernanda Ladeira-PT

2022-04-10 22:41:51 UTC

Our daily life is always so busy that it becomes necessary to organize time, tasks according to the priority factor. Fortunately, diaries are great aids for our task management, and the colleagues I work with in this course help us keep track of the different steps to be taken. So we set aside Wednesday mornings, about one or two hours at our school, to meet, discuss the themes to be developed and share our work over a cup of tea.

Helena Rodrigues, Portugal

lenacoimbra — 2022-04-10 23:03:05 UTC

I hope I have time during the wekend, at sunday, at home, to learn and to share my point of view and reflexion to fullfil the goals of the course.

Anita Duarte, Portugal

anitaduarte — 2022-04-10 23:50:21 UTC

During this course, we are going to have a lot of tasks to quantify and complete... In fact, I will be a nocturnal learner, with no particular study time and I would like to work in my own pace. I´m not sure if a time managment method will be suitable for me (I hate watches, timers ...) . This idea seams to me as a race against time , something to control my thinking flow. I´ve not already tried Pomodoro Technique on my own live, but I use such a way, in my classroom, in order to ask students to do simple exercices, in a short period of time, and ask them don't be out of focus.
I maybe must learn changing my mindset about time...

Gabriela Ciolpan, Romania

gabrriellaa2x — 2022-04-11 03:36:36 UTC

I do not think I will use timers, but usually I complete MOOCs in my short morning coffee breaks and at night. I usually complete 1 module as it starts and do not let it unprocessed as the next one begins.

Elaine

2022-04-11 09:49:12 UTC

I am planning to set aside time 2/ 3 times a week to focus on the material provided in this course. I plan to carry out the tasks in the order presented and to fit them between other ongoing tasks. I might spend an hour at a stretch each time.

Zlata Hrženjak, Croatia

zhrzenjak1 — 2022-04-11 10:01:23 UTC

Organizing learning on MOOCs in general dpends mostly on my daily obligations andresponsibilities.
1. I usually do it during weekinds, but sometimes I have to reschedule it due to some unexpected situations.
2. I regularly do it from home in the evening when I am alone.
3. The time I plan to spend learning depends on the module, I spent less time on introductory modules, more if we have tasks assigned to be done, 2 - 3 hours
4. I have never tried the Pomodoro Technique, but it might be a challenge

Antonella Lombardi Ottavo Circolo di Piacenza

2022-04-11 14:19:05 UTC

I’m taking this course in my free time at home. With some colleagues of my Institute I am part of the Study Group for Erasmus Mobility and I will share with them my reflections.

Corinne, Ottavo circolo Piacenza, ITALY

2022-04-11 15:31:23 UTC

I'm interested by this topic, the task value is high and goals orientation too but this MOOC comes in a very busy moment and I can't spend all the time I want in here. I open the course frequently (five times a week, more or less) and use to take notes about what I read for simplify to stay focused on the task and topics. Moreover I love plannings so I use to make "do it" lists with tasks I have to complete and I'm also using the learning tool "Sutori" to build a summary presentation of my work that let me keeping a track of my learning.

Sara Santos- Oeiras, Portugal

Sara_Santos_FQ — 2022-04-12 14:52:20 UTC

The organization of my own learning on this course depends mostly on my daily timetable at school.

I usually do it during weekends, or during Tuesday mornings. I do it at home, where I can work more peacefully and so I am more focused.

The time I plan to spend is 2/ 3 hours per module.

I have never used the Pomodoro technique.

SÜMEYYE YEŞİLTEPE - İSTANBUL

dindersi5258 — 2022-04-14 21:16:45 UTC

I try to do it in my spare time. Our school is currently on vacation, but I've been to a few more practice sessions and I'm trying to catch up on each one in turn. I also prepare various projects and their reports. We fast during Ramadan. I also do charity work. I devote my free time to training and reading books. I love education. I was using the Pomodoro technique :) but I learned your name with you, thanks :)

My Way :)

sznkcts — 2022-04-14 21:28:57 UTC

I have a four year-old son, so I can find time only after he sleeps. Moreover, I attended the course after a while it had started. I'm trying to compansate for the gap. Thus I try to go futher as I can do while studying. I prefer keeping notes while working

ruqaya-jordan

2022-04-16 10:44:10 UTC

Look for self-development courses in these areas..different fields..
I watch from home on my laptop.
Different times according to what is available to me. Open one to two hours daily..

Nicoleta Stanciu

2022-04-17 14:17:11 UTC

I do it in the evening
I do it from home
I complete the module and i do the tasks

isabelmonteiro2 — 2022-04-17 18:06:31 UTC

Working with students with special needs is a blessing. First of all, the parents are very interested and they work with the teachers as partners because they want their son/daughter to suceed as much as possible; secondly, and remembering some exceptions, the students are more tolerant, more resilient, more assertive and they tend to be curious and to make the utmost effort to absorb what we intend them to learn. So, it's easy to plan our work with them. We have to prepare the themes, which we try to approch to their interests, considering the method we have to use for each of them, as no one learns in the same way. Here is the point where I remember Howard Gardner and his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, first presented in Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983) and subsequently refined and extended in Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice (1993), Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century (1999), and Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons (2006). Gardner’s theory inspired many teachers, school leaders, and special educators to embrace the notion that there are many ways to be intelligent and to learn.
However, I think that, unfortunately, only a few took advantage of this Theory . Before Gardner, Confucius taught us that “When it is obvious that goals can’t be reached, don’t adjust the goals, but adjust the action steps.” — adjust the way, the steps, the methods, thats what I do everyday with my pupils. And, some days, I enter the classroom with a plan and, half an hour later, just for accident, I have to change the coordinates and Keep on adjusting and improvising a lot.

Ines Štivić

ines177 — 2022-04-17 21:11:20 UTC

The organization of learning depends on my daily obligations at work and in private life. Sometimes it is very demanding. I believe this course will offer me an insight into technicques of SLR that will improve my organizational skills.

Suzana, Croatia

suzana_ban — 2022-04-18 11:08:07 UTC

I plan to do this course whenever I have time to do it in a relaxed atmosphere. I'll do it at my own pace because I do not intend to rush through it, but give it a little thought.

Mihailov Viviana Arabela

mihailovviviana — 2022-04-18 19:24:56 UTC

I will participate in my free time, in the evening. I plan to study for an hour every day.

Planning...

nilayteacher7 — 2022-04-18 20:45:22 UTC

I have been trying to follow my course schedule everyday .This generally happens after I finish all my work and just before sleep. A kind of theraphy to refresh my mind.45 minutes shift is enough for the beginning .However , I must admit that there are interesting articles and sharings about the course that take time to think on.Today , for instance , I have been thinking on Pomodoro technique . I would use it most of my works before pandemy especially about school and also used at university period for my studies.It works really well.

giampieropiccini — 2022-04-19 08:11:43 UTC

I have no fixed timing in order to follow this course. I can do it in the early morning or evening , depending on how I feel in that particular moment. Always at home in my room and I could study a variable number of hours depending on the mood of that day.

Beyza, Turkey

beyzatasdonderen — 2022-04-19 12:16:12 UTC

I can follow the course when I am at work. I have a private room for myself and some freetime therefore it is possible to follow the course during work. I can spend about 3 hours weekly.

Giada, Italy

2022-04-19 16:02:04 UTC

I plan to do this course in my free time, after dinner and in my holydays, as now. I think I will spend 4 or 5 hours a week for this course. My strategy is to take a break when i lost my concentration.

Ana-Maria Vasilescu - Romania

2022-04-19 18:13:16 UTC

Being the first course of its kind I started it late and expect to finish it in two weeks as I am on holiday.

Gabriela Borza/ Romania

2022-04-19 18:15:01 UTC

I will be working on this course mostly in the evenings, but as I am on holiday I expect to finish it in about 2 weeks. So far I like the course, and that's the best strategy, learn what you like.

Gabriela Șandru, Romania

gabrielasandru1 — 2022-04-20 06:47:00 UTC

I will be studying continuously during my holiday. I always choose to study as much as possible when I have time and thus benefit and use it up wisely. I expect to finish the course in 2 weeks. As for the strategies, I will take notes and save them in my computer, so that what I learn can be easily accessed at any time.

Voicu Corina, Romania, How are you organising your own learning on this course? I try to connect and learn many usful things to be a better teacher for my students! When and where will you follow the course? I follow the course from my home. How much time do you plan to spend on it? 1-2 hours per week. Will you use any specific study strategies such as the Pomodoro Technique? Yes, I will use the pomodoro technique.

voicucorinavalentina — 2022-04-20 08:26:35 UTC

Ivica Matić, Croatia

ivica0909 — 2022-04-22 08:43:40 UTC

Organizing my learning on MOOC depends on how much free time do I have through the day. I always try to find time for this course, at least half an hour a day but sometimes I do not have this possibility. I always do it from home. I plan to spend 3 hours per module. I have never used the Pomodoro Technique, but who knows what the future holds.

Hoffmann Bronț Viorica, Romania

vigyorika477 — 2022-04-23 13:22:20 UTC

I do not have a fixed schedule to take this course. I can do it early in the morning or in the evening, depending on how I feel at that moment. If I'm on vacation, I can study all day.

Đurđica Stanešić

dstanesic9 — 2022-04-23 15:37:40 UTC

I do not have a fixed schedule to take this course. It depends on other professional activities and my free time. I am following this course from home. It is hard for me to say how much time will I need for this course because the language is a little barrier for me and I never attended MOOC before. I do not have any special technique, I am not familiar with the Pomodoro technique.

Mohamed Omri,Tunisia

omrimed20 — 2022-04-23 22:27:08 UTC

1-I do not have a scheduled time to take this course
2-I follow this course from home.
3-I can’t be exact about how much time I’m going to need because of language that makes it difficult for me
4-I do not have any special technique but i will try to learn about Pomodoro technique.

Nermin Çapık - Turkey

nrmnyvz8 — 2022-04-24 09:08:56 UTC

Actually, I have busy days, but since I am motivated beforehand for this course, I definitely plan to set aside time every day. I can comfortably attend the course at home at the computer with my coffee in my hand. I continue by taking notes.

Ljiljana Broz, Croatia

ljiljanabroz1 — 2022-04-24 17:11:20 UTC

I plan to follow this course mostly in the evening hours when I have most of my free time and least of the distractions. It's also difficult for me to estimate how much time I'd need for this course primarily because of the language barrier.
I found that I'm able to learn more efficiently when reading the course materials several times and taking notes of the key concepts.

2022-04-24 19:53:00 UTC

I plan to follow this course in the evenings and in my holidays. I have some language barriers and I need time to finish tasks.
I my opinion Pomodoro Technique is useful. I will try to apply it. I can say time management is one of my shortcomings.

Emilia Frinculeasa, Romania

claudiaemiliafrinculeasa — 2022-04-26 03:15:33 UTC

Being on holiday, it is very easy for me to manage this course. I plan to spend as much time as I need, with no stress at all. It was my decision to participate, I am motivated to finish it and complete all the tasks. I am not going to use the Pomodoro Technique this time.

Mariella - Italy

mariella_brunaz — 2022-04-27 21:07:34 UTC

I'm going to participate in this course in the evening after completing the daily tasks I have at school. Since it is a busy period since in Italy we are towards the end of the second term, I will follow the course when I manage (as I said at night) hoping I won't be too tired and I will be able to keep up. I won't use the Pomodoro Technique but I will note down the most relevant information in my learning diary as a sort of summary and revise each time I resume work before going on.

Marija, Croatia

marinakrstanovic — 2022-05-05 11:14:26 UTC

I was planned to finish this course until beginning of next week.I will separate the moduls and try to complete one modul in few hours and one modul for one day.

Planning is one of my weakest areas, and procrastinating is the other one. After the course I´d really like to be able to improve in those two areas.

2022-05-06 09:08:01 UTC

I am not good at this... I will try to improuve myself and my work...

2022-05-09 13:50:15 UTC

Silvia, Italy

2022-05-09 17:01:32 UTC

I take the course just in time.
I will do my best, because it interests me particularly, not only for my students but also for myself and future courses.

Samia Briki,Tunisia

smatisamia — 2022-05-09 21:42:40 UTC

I plan to follow this course in the evenings because I have busy days, I'm not familiar with the Pomodoro technique but it seems funny to work with.

Rose, Poland

2022-07-21 08:30:23 UTC

I am doing this course during the summer when I stay at school with no kids! It's great to have a chance to develop myself, as during the semester there is very little time for this.
