Using Technology in the Classroom: Example Lessons by Teacher Academy

2017-01-23 08:42:26 UTC

Web 1.0 presented us a vast library. Today, many teachers in the classroom use Web 2.0 technologies. Web 2.0 offers culturally shaped tools for sharing and collaborating for training. By making it possible for the teacher to give feedback, education transforms into an active car, not a one-way street but a two-way traffic. It makes it possible for learners to express themselves, learn the experiences they are learning, and learn in an interactive environment with other learners. Web 3.0 offers much more for training. The intelligent devices that can talk to each other are based on education and software, making them private. Students can learn at their own pace, not at the average speed of the class. The personalized learning approach brings with it a vast pool of learning. If this data is processed correctly, students can be guided and learn with the most appropriate methods. The points collected thanks to the playing mechanics, the medals leave the kids, even the koskoca people motivating and helping them learn without being bored. What do you know about the best part? There is a very important chance to use these technologies to strengthen the equal opportunity in education around the world!

These are extraordinary examples of student- centered lessons where student becomes protagonist of his learnig process;Students in collaboration with other pupils. investigate, create,exchange information to reach a goal. Teacher is the mentor who guides and assists and monitors pupils during the their lessons

Everyone wants teachers to use technology in the classroom. But you're busy -- meeting standards, prepping students for tests -- and maybe you’re not too fond of computers, anyway. Never fear – there are easy ways to bring your classroom up-to-date, technologically.

Teaching using technology is very important and very interesting for both teacher and students, but this involves many time and materials.

Every teacher wants to use technology in his process of education but there is moments when time and equipment didn`t permit this

Simona, Italy

All the examples shown are fantastic and we should make the same. Unfortunately, in my school, there aren't so many technological opportunities and means to use. The teachers are following courses to undestand better the use of technology in class, but our school runs out of computers, ipods, tablets for each student. Believe me...it's a hard work...

Federica, Italy

FedeTagliafichi — 2017-01-23 16:58:36 UTC

Technology helps students and teachers to work in the group class but also to connect with other students. I think that etwinning is a great opportunity to share knowledge with others

Daniela V, Romania

2017-01-23 17:16:04 UTC

Teaching using technology in my school is a dream at the time been. Several factors like no funding from government , no private fundings avaible this all are leading to fact is not possible to have tehnology , I can say almost at all.

Dora, Greece

Incorporating technology into the classroom means that students have exposure and access to different ways of learning. Maybe some students do thrive in a lecture environment; others might be great independent learners, who can gather information from educational software. Giving students the choice of different ways to learn means they’ll likely explore and try different techniques, and in the end, learn the best strategies for themselves as individual learners.

In these examples the boys are protagonists of their learning. Reach their goal guitati by their master.

Teaching using technology in my school is a dream at this time. I want to use technology in my process of education but there is moments when time and equipment didn`t permit this, unfortunately.

tonia_calo — 2017-01-23 18:44:34 UTC

In all my classoom I can use the IWB and the computer to catch my students '
attention and to involve them in their learning process. But, as there are at least 25 students in any class it is a bit hard to let them work in group at school .

mariagrazia_caltanissetta — 2017-01-23 18:58:05 UTC

echnology integration is the use of technology resources -- computers, mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, digital cameras, social media platforms and networks, software applications, the Internet, etc. -- in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school. When technology integration is at its best, a child or a teacher doesn't stop to think that he or she is using a technology tool -- it is second nature. And students are often more actively engaged in projects when technology tools are a seamless part of the learning process.

Diego, Croatia

2017-01-23 19:08:16 UTC

I use Smartboard and different interactive tools that make learning more interesting.

Ksenija from Serbia

2017-01-23 19:38:05 UTC

In all three lessons I liked using technology like laptops for groups, tablets for groups and IWB for all of them. It`s something I can only dream about in my school. I am very happy if I can get a laptop and a projector and a classroom where I can install them. Nothing more, even less, if the school needs my classroom I have to move and take all the things away. I feel so miserable and demotivated. And I try to make my lesson creative just by using a chalk and a greenboard. Can you imagine that?

Ankica, Croatia

ankica1403 — 2017-01-23 19:47:01 UTC

I liked all the lessons but the one I can best relate to is the first lesson because it is about learning a language. Using Socrative and various audio tools can be very useful in learning the language. In all three lessons the students were very active and collaborative. For the time being, I cannot imagine my classroom looking like this. We do not have IWB or laptops. I have to organize ICT use for homework.

Gina, Italy

2017-01-23 20:46:53 UTC

I use Popplet for students and collegues.

Arnaud Perrier, France

2017-01-23 21:01:18 UTC

In the 1st I like how the teacher let shy students use technology to express in front of a camera rather than the whole class. In the 2nd, I like the interaction between two remote classes. In the 3rd, I like the use of IWB added to tablets (they switch quickly from one to another without any problem).

Dimitra, Brussels

2017-01-23 21:07:50 UTC

All the three examples show how technology can be integrated in the classroom in a thoughtful way, depending on the goals the teachers pose and the needs of the pupils. Students are totally engaged, they are active in the team, they seem to have control over their own learning too. I find that the technology integration in the teaching procedures presented is effective. It seems to encourage student-centered and project-based learning. In each school different tools are used by the students to complete assignments or create projects. Teachers act as supporters and coordinators in all cases.

Ana Pinheiro

aipinheiro — 2017-01-23 23:36:15 UTC

The examples presented are very interesting. There are many ways to use the technologies in the classroom. Providing students with images on a given topic and making it clear that they are the students (for example, in a group) to ask the problem question is to make them define the learning path. From this problem issue, they search for information (used for example google), build their knowledge and use various collaborative tools (padlet, google doc, PPT, genialy, ..), present and share the results (stage 2/3) .

Helga, Croatia

hkraljik — 2017-01-24 06:13:40 UTC

It's great to see good examples of integrating technology into classroom. Being a language teacher, I was most impressed by the one about learning a language. I, however, still have to assign the technology work for homework and then reflect / relate to it at school.

Andrea Checchetti, Italy

dreache — 2017-01-24 09:12:29 UTC

The level of maturity in the use of technology is, in the examples proposed, high but the example that is closest to my model to use technology and that I chose to bring in my learning diary is the second: Beyond borders IWB for global collaboration

Daniela, Romania

danielamioarachisalita — 2017-01-24 09:39:59 UTC

The presented examples point out the role of technology and the collaboration in learning, and demonstrates that the use of IWB make learning attractive, resulting in the students in the activities of success.

José Ramón-Spain

2017-01-24 09:49:43 UTC

I find all the lessons quite interesting and they seem to have a high level in the use of technology.

In all the examples the pupils are the main characters and they learn in a collaborative way.

I use technology in a similar way as the teacher from Italy ( the second video) does. I work with my pupils in collaborative projects with other european schools ( Etwinning) and they find it funny and motivating the use of technology to get in contact with the other students.

Gabriela Sandru, Romania

gabrielasandru1 — 2017-01-24 11:01:15 UTC

The second and the third lessons demonstrate a high level of the Innovation Maturity Model. Nevertheless, all lessons are adaptable as long as there is access to the required techonolgy. I might start with the first example - Socrative seem quite an easy tool to use, if not entirely in class (lack of laptops), then at home. Plus, the evaluating of homemade video records is totally doable, no matter the technology available in the classroom.

Dora, T.Greece

2017-01-24 11:03:20 UTC

I liked very much the 3 videos...The teachers used IT ti promote collaboration and communication while at the same time their teaching process caused no stress to students who worked happily to complete their projects.

Despoina Amarantidou, Greece

damarant — 2017-01-24 13:25:27 UTC

All videos were really exceptional and representative, promoting collaboration and integration of students.

Elena Chiş, Romania

lenuta_chis — 2017-01-24 17:04:03 UTC

Example Lessons:

The first video shows practically how to use ICT to improve communication skills and how to use ICT to enhance teaching.

The second video shows us how it can be used practically IWB for global collaboration. Use interactive whiteboards and other technologies to enhance collaboration in the classroom and beyond.

The third video is a lesson on animal classification using ICT: interactive whiteboard, laptop, ipaid, popplet, padlet.

I find it interesting tool http://popplet.com/ .
Congratulations teachers who have contributed to the videos.

Paula, Romania

2017-01-24 17:04:47 UTC

Great videos about teachers using technology to improve communication, creativity and collaborative work. Choosing the 3 videos in this order reflects in a very suggestive way the stages of the innovation in schools and gives us an idea of how to help our students becoming from simply consumers real producers , co-designers of their learning adventure. The 2nd and 3rd videos are, for me, a model for project based learning

Isabel Graça, Portugal

isamg1 — 2017-01-24 17:16:01 UTC

I find the videos very inspiring. Loved all the 3. I definitely must explore all the advantages of connecting apps to the IWB!

Vanesa, Croatia

2017-01-24 17:22:19 UTC

All three videos are really inspiring.

Giuseppina Serini, Italy

2017-01-24 17:28:19 UTC

Teaching at the high school, I found interesting the first video and presented ways of posing questions to the class. the other two have video mode and I had already experienced tools when I started to use the new technologies in the classroom.

Simona S. Italy

2017-01-24 17:49:35 UTC

All these three videos are really interesting and I'll use these apps in my lessons.

Arianna, Italy

arix — 2017-01-24 17:59:56 UTC

I liked the second lesson for the idea of the circle time that closes the epxerience giving it the proper meaning.

Raffaella, Italy

2017-01-24 18:04:42 UTC

I like all three videos, They are vey interesting.

Josefina , Spain

jsfgspr — 2017-01-24 18:29:01 UTC

I especially liked the useful Socrative tool the Irish teacher uses in his language lessons together with the use of IWB, not being an expert as he says he encourages everyone to have a try. The second experience for a history project combines online and onsite collaboration to create a common product using all types of software and hardware.

Mary Koleta-Greece

2017-01-24 19:58:18 UTC

All three lessons were extremely interesting. They managed to integrate technology in a meaningful way. In the second video, I liked the live videoconference with the school in Ireland and the final evaluation process, which can give valuable feedback. In the third video, I liked the fact that students also had the chance to "get their hands dirty" and that having to share the available equipment was used as a means of promoting collaboration, rather than as an obstacle.

Marina Gurina (Ukraine)

mariam_72 — 2017-01-24 20:34:43 UTC

I have seen all the video-lessons (on the site). I teach English. The first video was for me. But in all these videos I could see all children motivated, they collaborate, the process was effective.

Angelamaria Galderisi, Italy

soleemare_a — 2017-01-24 22:26:07 UTC

The three lessons proposed – “Teaching Irish”, “Italian IWB for global collaboration” and “Knowledge building with ICT, Switzerland” – are similar in the extensive use of IWB for sharing, commenting , reflecting and assessing each teaching-learning experience. I was really impressed by the use of Socrative in the first lesson, because this webtool helps students working collaboratively and allows the teacher to check their progress and gather their results. In the second lesson, there is a more extensive use of IWB and the teacher leads students towards collaboration. Finally, the third lesson introduces Padlet and Popplet as collaborative work webtool.

I would place the second and third examples on the third stage of the Innovation Maturity Model, while the first could be ranked on the fourth stage, because students take control of learning using technology to manage their own learning.

Katarzyna Siwczak

2017-01-25 09:56:37 UTC

All the lessons were great – really motivational. Everything was perfectly planned and the use of ITC totally justified. For me, the greatest inspiration was the lesson on Irish and the tool – Socrative – used by the teacher. I’m going to have a closer look at it.

Laura Pagnozzi,Italy

pagnozzi_laura — 2017-01-25 10:19:10 UTC

in all three videos are using the technology in the first Socrative that I have never used is really interesting where pupils are lured with fantastic images, in the second I like to be part of collaboration between the boys that the exchange with other external boys at the school, they learn to use computers to do research and Lim to represent the work done, in the third i find that kids are routed to a conscious use of technology with research on nutrition of the animals. I find that the first video puoò be inserted in four model innovation Maturity

Laurence, Reunion (Fr)

llevesque — 2017-01-25 12:35:27 UTC

Very interesting approaches of the use of technologies in classrooms. It requires some equipment, which means we first have to upgrade ours! The collaborative aspect is quite well shown in each lesson.

Edit, Hungary

tothedit0610 — 2017-01-25 13:57:58 UTC

Three great examples of ICT-integrated lessons were presented. I liked all of them very much. First: Socrative is a great tool, unknown for me, allowing students' individual and collaborative work and the collaboration of the whole group. Second: nice example of collaboration in groups and whole class. What I especially liked was the international collaboration between Italian and British kids via the Internet. Third: perfect collaborative work using Padlet and Popplet at a group and class level. Maturity level: stage 4 perhaps.

Stavroula L, Greece

pde4424 — 2017-01-25 14:47:28 UTC

I liked the use of video lesson of the Irish teacher.
The italian project was really inspiring because the students had so many different activities and the use of ict was brilliant. In the 3rd video I loved the classification with popplet and it inspired me to do something similar, although this year I don't have an interactive board.

Carol (Italy)

carol_f — 2017-01-25 16:34:14 UTC

The stage of maturity of the three videos is the third-fourth one. Techonolgy is a part of teaching-learning practice. It is used to provide and produce contents. Students use technology to make their own digital products in a collaborative way.

In these experiences I like a lot the atmosphere and the learning approach of the students who look really motivated. These experiences are important also because teachers give us some tips to approach to technologies step by step. Thank you for sharing these great experiences!

Ercília - Portugal

erciliacosta — 2017-01-25 16:42:45 UTC

I like very much all lessons. There are three different classes adjusted to the ages of the students.

The teacher in Ireland worked with Socrative and I think it was appropriate to study languages. With Socrative, we can do Quiz, space Race, Multiple Choice, True/false and sort Answer, we can create many rooms. With technology we’re able to incorporate the senses. So if students are looking at pictures, words will come to them that they can use in their ow work. With Socrative they are improving their written skills. I think technology can also help a teacher give feedback. Like teacher says, students can make recordings at home e send the recording in MP3 files.

The teacher in Italy put her students working in projects.  In this project the children asked to study a historical subject. Children work in groups and each group dealt with a specific subject. They collaborate with another classroom by video conference. At the end of the class the students take stock of what went well and what went well.

The teacher in Switzerland doesn’t have computers for all the children and he organise his class very meticulously. While one group works with computers and technology, another group went back to the traditional exercise book.

I am not an expert in technology at all, I’m still learning and I like this course.

Francesca

francesca_lombardi1973 — 2017-01-25 17:00:52 UTC

I appreciate all the three videos, especially the first one. What I like the most in the use of Socrative is that it provides teachers to give feedbacks to the students’ learning. I believe this makes it an efficient tool for formative assessments.

Moreno. Italy

moreno_concezzi — 2017-01-25 18:39:19 UTC

I consider extraordinary how the little pupils approach toward technology and the the using of the PC and the LIM, congratulation to teacher!

Ana Ventura, Spain.

anavenmolina — 2017-01-25 19:08:57 UTC

I like the 3 of them. The first one is very interesting because the teacher uses apps which are quite useful to teach a language (voki and secretive) but children don't work in groups but in pairs. The second example is a very good example of how to develop a collaborative project in etwining. And the third one shows the pros of having an IWB in the classroom.

Miriam Scafati, Italy

miriamscafatihpg23 — 2017-01-25 19:14:53 UTC

Video lesson is fantastic!!! The second lesson is interesting for collaborative project. The 3rd lesson is a great experience. Congratulation to teachers!!!!

Ana Prados, Spain

belanotinajero — 2017-01-25 19:33:06 UTC

I like the three videos just as much. Form the first one, I like being able to update materials or contents easily, the work in pairs, the possibility of sharing all the written work on the IWB. I'm not sure if it corresponds to level 2 (teacher decides what technology students use and teaching directs learning) or level 3. The last two videos might be more level 3. I like the idea of collaborative learning beyond countries.

Marián Reguera, Spain

2017-01-25 21:52:16 UTC

The three videos had something in common- the IWB. Appart from that, in two of the classes the students would also work with laptops. In the third class, they even had tablets and an OHP. Amazing resources!

Grzegorz

2017-01-25 22:18:57 UTC

The second and third lesson plan most I loved it. Very interesting activities for students. Teacher in a cool way to use tools for knowledge transfer.

Zulmira, Portugal

zulmiramag — 2017-01-25 22:23:54 UTC

I really enjoyed all the videos but unfortunately in our schools there are no Ipad's or computers available to be used by students in every class. When these technologies exists in all classroom, students will be more and more accustomed to using them and collaborative work will be much more effective.

Maria Giuseppa Sallemi, italy

2017-01-26 05:58:18 UTC

I like so much all the video, but in particular I like a lot the work of Mrs Francesca Panzica that I shared on my facebook diary.

Annamaria Egido, Italy

2017-01-26 07:14:11 UTC

I like so much all the three videos. Unfortunately in our schools are no computers or Ipad's to be used by students in every class

Valeria Viola, Italy

valeria72 — 2017-01-26 10:10:29 UTC

I found all the three videos very insipiring. Maybe, the first lesson could be more interactive letting students move in the classroom or use the IWB directly. What strikes me is the occasion given to students of using their devices without the mediation of a teacher.

Rosy, Italy

rositone73 — 2017-01-26 10:12:31 UTC

II find all the three videos very interesting, but the one I like most is the second, because of the cooperative learning and the use of English in reality

Laura brazzabeni

2017-01-26 11:14:27 UTC

Everything very interesting . unfortunately the project 2.0 ended and not every student can have his own notebook

HULYA BAL - TURKEY

2017-01-26 12:10:42 UTC

This lessons very nice. Its was perfectly planned. This lessons use technology.
In our country, our students have tablets. Students use tablets in lessons, projects and homeworks. The 3rd lesson is a great experience. Congratulation to teachers.

Shukufa Najafova Azerbaijan

2017-01-26 12:49:38 UTC

I watch both videos and must say that it is interesting. All the students are engaged and work colloboratively. And must say that in such learning environment student learn better, they learn by doing. Now our school become electrone and hope soon we also have such kind lesson inshallah.

Almudena Romero Spain

romero_almudena — 2017-01-26 13:06:46 UTC

This year I have organised my classroom and my teaching practice much in the way the first video shows. I am a teacher of language and I am glad to see that it works such in the way I thought.
The other two experiences are interesting but I consider them less significative for my present teaching practice. I especially like in both of them the use of IWB as a collaborative tool.

Cristina from Italy

prof_cau — 2017-01-26 13:08:07 UTC

The three videos are very interesting, especially the first two. Our students are not able to do such a collaborative work except in the traditional manner. This is not because they are not capable. They lack the individual equipment. For now we are only equipped with IWB and even at home, not all children have a computer.

Donato, Italy

donatopiccinino — 2017-01-26 15:39:51 UTC

The second and third videos are very interesting. The use of technology is really exciting and is directly understand the different uses siginificativo is in the early stages of learning

Chiara S. Italia

kyarasar — 2017-01-26 16:17:10 UTC

Very interesting indeed. I appreciate there are three different subjects involved and different ages, too. An effort is needed to have new approaches to knowledge so that we could invent new way to learn and teach

Elisabetta Mauro, Italy

mauro_elisabet1 — 2017-01-26 16:59:37 UTC

The first video is particularly interesting, teaching Irish and keeping the students involved and active must be quite a challenge. The third video shows a perfect group of perfect children. I'm a bit jealous, the teacher must be a real magician! Thank you for the inspiration, you are contagious!

Mihaela, Romania

ciuchi_mihaela — 2017-01-26 17:01:32 UTC

First I admire the fact that every teacher knew how to adapt the technology to older students.Then they selected the most suitable applications for each theme and to develop the best skills required.They managed to combine  technology withrequirements of modern didactics.

gabriella, irtaly

2017-01-26 17:33:53 UTC

Adriana Lefter, Romania

lefteradriana — 2017-01-26 19:13:10 UTC

I really like all these video, and I appreciate the special way that this all teachers use techonologies in their classroom and different subjects. I see that the most important thind they all told is technology is more valuable if exist collaborative work between children.Nice ideea I find from italian teacher, students have the same age like mine, so this a great idea to use it.

Fausto, Italy

2017-01-26 20:37:34 UTC

Technology is unavoidable. These videos show a modern way of working at school. I can't really see how we could work, at the present time, in a different fashion.

Gülhanım Dursun

2017-01-26 20:39:12 UTC

Tecnology entegration is very important. Suit for age, lesson, etc. I really love to watch all videos.

Serenella Silenzi, Italy

s_silenzi — 2017-01-26 20:57:31 UTC

Three different subjects, but very interesting experiences indeed!

I have greatly appreciated the following elements:

-The age and the large number of the pupils are not a problem at all: they can define the right driving question and work in cooperative groups;

-They must have both a group and an individual assessment, because they are interdependent;

-Tecnology can be one of the different tools they use, but it is a sort of frame facilitating collaboration, allowing the construction of different outputs and the contact with European partners.

All this may enhance motivation, inclusion and self-esteem.

Marchilia Volini Kendall, Naples, Italy

marchilia — 2017-01-26 23:05:20 UTC

In the first example I liked the programme socrative that allows you to pull the results of the students' activity on the IWB in real time.
In the second example I liked the circle time at the end of the lesson, where students and teacher talk about what was good or what needed to be improved, with possible ways of solving the drawback.
In the third example I liked the hand-on activity carried out by the students and the transfer on the pc with a webcam.

Ioannis Velonakis, Greece

2017-01-26 23:41:04 UTC

All the three lessons combine effectively the use of Information Technology Tools with collaborative learning. It is wonderful that all these teachers manage to use this technology not only as a supporting tool for their everyday work but also as a key parameter to enable high-level collaboration in class. In the first case the Interactive White Board is combined with appropriate software to enable a modern collaborative teaching and learning approach of the Irish language while similar technology is used in the second case for international collaborative learning projects for young pupils. Finally, in the last approach, the proper use of all the software tools enables students to easily understand difficult aspects of biology. Also, in all the above cases, teachers and students seem to understand collaborative teaching and learning with the use of information technology as a part of their everyday school life.

Amelia De Chiara, Italy

amelia_dechiara — 2017-01-27 06:10:35 UTC

All the videos are very interesting and inspiring. It's useful to see how they manage the team work and use different tools. Unfortunately we don't have the same equipment at our school: we only have the IWBs (but not in all the classrooms and some of them are old so they don't have a touch screen) and a notebook. Many students don't have a computer at home or a tablet. So it's difficult to work like in the videos, we can do it once in a while.

Corine, France

2017-01-27 11:25:31 UTC

Great videos. I think in languages these tools are gereat to be sure that we can hear all the students. 3 pieces of usefull advice
- keep it simple when you start
- empower the group, give them responsabilities and assess the group (then you assess students individually)
- try, make mistake, find the tools which works for you.
I often tell my students they are my guinee pigs and I need feed back from them to know what I should carry on doing.

George Kyriakopoulos

gkyriakopoul197 — 2017-01-27 13:15:20 UTC

Loved every minutes of all three presentations. Really well-prepared teachers jongling with the curricula of their countries. Hardly can i find any drawbacks. I wish our classrooms in greece looks like the ones here. The italian project was amazing...

Maryla from Poland

2017-01-27 14:24:00 UTC

I teach in small village school, but thanks to Erasmus+ project we are well equipped and I am using the technology every day. I like the videos from different part of Europe. They can inspire us.

Manuela Vieira,PT

mmanuelavieira — 2017-01-27 16:06:32 UTC

All the videos are very interesting. I would like to have a classroom like those one. The laptop are very important and we don´t have.
Congratulations to those teachers that work like that. They encorage me/us. Our IWB are not working.

Isabelle Squillaci _ Bari- Italy

squillaci_isabelle — 2017-01-27 16:09:14 UTC

The series of videos presents different ways of using ICT to enchange teaching and learning.
In the first one the teacher uses apps which are quite useful to teach a language but children don't work in groups but in pairs. In the second example we show how to develop a collaborative project in etwinning . Finally in the third videowe see the pros of having an IWB in the classroom.
Three different subjects but very interesting experiences indeed!

Congratulations to the teachers in the videos for their projects!
In all my classooms I have the IWB and the computer and I always use them to catch my students ' attention and to involve them in the lesson. But the problem is that there aren't laptops or tablets, so my students can't work in group at school .

Donatella, Italy

I particularly liked the way students could practice oral skills in the first lesson especially the teacher's consciousness about his students' difficulty of speaking Irish to the whole class and his way of managing this problem.

As for the second one, more than a lesson, I think it was a very well done project, aiming at enhancing students' different competences at the same time. I also liked the way the teacher chose to assess works in groups and then individually.

As for the third one, apart from the lesson, which was very motivating for students, I found that the classroom environment was really comfortable and relaxing.

To use or not to use new technologies in the school day is no longer a question. After all, the use of technology is a part of the life of the new generations outside the classroom and, therefore, its application to the benefit of education can be considered an important way to increase the dynamism of the classes. In this context, it is important to know how to integrate the new ways of teaching and learning to planning and the school curriculum.

psaridou — 2017-01-28 12:03:59 UTC

After watching the above videos I understand that technology is more and more into school's life. Children already know how to use a computer and we, the teachers, must follow their steps. I envy those teachers because they had classes with a lot of space to do things that I can't due to lack of space. The collaboration and interaction between students in a class and students of different schools can be hardly done in my class. We can use only one computer and can work in groups with it. If only we could have space and money to have more computers in our class.

Maria Luisa, Turin , Italy

marcella_guglielmo — 2017-01-28 12:19:16 UTC

In my opnion these lessons are really helpful because are clear and well-planned examples which teacher can follow or can try to practise. A lot of thanks! I like the IWB where the "I" means Interaction. Great

Luigi Alterani, Italy

Italianteacher — 2017-01-28 16:45:38 UTC

These are very good examples of the use of technology in a classroom but it is not easy to convince many colleagues and school administrators to use an educational approach based on ITC. Many are too tied to traditional methods of teaching or are discouraged because they don’t 'master the use of technology. Others conceive as a kind of disorder that students can manage the lesson without resorting to the traditional use of books, notebook and study at home.

Maria Luisa Provezza, Italy.

marialuisaprovezza0 — 2017-01-28 16:50:19 UTC

I hope one day I will master the use of technology in my classrooms as I see these Teachers do in their daily practice.
My congratulations to all the Teachers of the videos.

Anna Eckerlein, Germany

Frau_Kap — 2017-01-28 16:58:42 UTC

First of all I think it’s great that in all 3 lessons students are active! Learning is centered around the students and digital tools are effectively used to meet the goal of the lesson. The first lesson pays attention to students that have difficulties with talking in a foreign language in front of the classroom. So I think it’s great that the teacher uses technology to make them feel more comfortable. I was particularly impressed by the second lesson video because I could connect it to my own 5th grade. They were so motivated to work in this project and lots of different leaner types were paid attention to. This is also a great example for a good collaborative classroom setting with the use of ICT. Plus, it was really authentic. Considering the last lesson, I find that the visual support made it much easier for students to understand these biological terms. In addition, it’s great for kids to explore things and then being able to share and compare results.

The examples presented in the videos were indeed fantastic. We have to see that they are students of lower age groups and it is precisely here that we need to "plant the seed" of collaborative work. When we teach older, high school students who have never worked collaboratively, it is sometimes very difficult to get them to work that way. The work with the WhiteBoard is one of the things I know I must improve.

Gabriele Ornaghi - Crema, italy

gabriele_ornaghi88 — 2017-01-28 18:33:19 UTC

The videos were interesting. They presented the teaching methods that are currently being discussed in Italy. In the second video (the Italian) is presented EAS’s didactic of professor Rivoltella.

Luís Veloso, Portugal

luisveloso — 2017-01-28 21:34:02 UTC

I agree that the use of technology in the classroom should be encouraged. Mainly as a means to achieve objectives and increase efficiency and speed in learning. However the use of technology is an expensive solution. The school can not afford to have equipment available, up-to-date and at zero cost to all its students and teachers. Students and teachers have to use their own equipment.

CHRISTOS, GREECE

I liked that they make a story by doing practice their writing and oral skills via their communication.
It is essential also that students can find and use a variety of resources for their final product and most of all they can interact with experts or schools from all over the world .
Moreover they can study in deep a special topic and aquire the knowledge through their collaboration ,as they would do in their life ahead.

Arminda Pereira, Portugal

armindapereira1 — 2017-01-29 12:16:01 UTC

Today’s students are active learners rather than spectators. In my opinion space size, the amount of technology, or the number of trading partners is not crucial. What is important is to rethink teaching and learning, to promote innovative pedagogies and to support the skills of students and teachers to use technology in schools in a sustainable way.

The examples presented in the videos were amazing and innovative. This videos show different ways to use technology in the classroom.

In the first video is use ICT to improve communication skills and how to use ICT to enhance teaching.

In the second video is use IWB for global collaboration. They use interactive whiteboards and other technologies to enhance collaboration in the classroom.

In the third video is a lesson on animal classification using ICT: interactive whiteboard, laptop, iPad, popplet, padlet.

I find very interesting the tool http://popplet.com/ .

Until last year I worked in this way, I have introduced a class project and the children twice a week brought the personal tablet in school and have produced digital artifacts that shared in Edmodo. I proposed activities with Dash and Dot, with augmented reality, with coding tools ... My bitterness is this: I have adequate skills, but I no longer have the means and makes me even more bitter that in secondary schools have not even the lim.Tutto this in Italy when it comes to a good school continuously.

Cristiana Ziraldo

2017-01-29 15:41:40 UTC

Irish: I liked the idea of having students record or videorecord themselves while speaking Irish and then send the file to the teacher for assessment.
The Celts: Nice to see pupils work so well in their team and then share their investigation both within the class (with their classmates) and outside their class (with the Irish class thanks to Etwinning).
Switzerland: once again the dynamics of the pair and group and class work are facilitated by the use of technology.
All three projects are worth looking at. The colleagues did a wonderful job.

catellodesinno — 2017-01-29 19:44:46 UTC

Congratulations to the teachers of the videos for sharing their experiences. I usually use the IWB in my classrooms. Unfortunately in some classes there isn't a IWB yet and we have no tablets or computers for each student at school. Undoubtedly studenta are more motivated when we can use the IWB and technology in the classroom.

Maria Grazia Licandro Italy

mglicandro — 2017-01-29 20:32:55 UTC

In the first video I liked the lesson recorded by the teacher, with animations is more addictive safe, especially for younger pupils. The professor highlights how the use of technology involves all the senses and then all cognitive styles.

In the second video I have seen how the 25 students working in the Italian classes, nearby neighbors, interesting idea to create a time machine that takes us to places to visit, videoconferencing and videos in the English language are a great approach to learning. Excellent organization of the groups with different tasks but indispensable for the realization of the product. Finally, the final moment with circle time is an excellent idea.

In the third video I noticed that the pupils during the screening were sitting on the ground, then seated in pairs collaborated to produce, alternated to the LIM to show what they have learned in an interactive way and were involved in class work, make sure you do not have to continue to house.

Anezina Xydous,Greece

Susana, Portugal

ssilva9 — 2017-01-29 22:10:34 UTC

Good examples of activities not very complicated but well prepared to take benefits of technology and promote collaborative work. I really liked to see how the use of interactive whiteboard and laptop was combined and how students were developing their work, especially in the third example. I don´t have all that technology available but the examples also showed we can do similar with less resources. Starting with simple activities, that´s a great advice! I´ll start with Padlet and I will try to learn how to work with Popplet .

My students are small but I believe that they will be adept at technological tools when they are allowed. Teachers need to keep pace with technological developments

Antónia Brandão,PT

dolores_brandao — 2017-01-30 16:13:11 UTC

Three good examples of using technology at classroom. For me the italian teacher is the one that involves more the children at their own process of learning, so she is at the high level of maturity model.

I would like to see an example of older students… like mine, they have 17 to 18 years old. I use the method of BYOD, it's a good option when school tec is not available. The big problem is internet connection… because frequently is slow and difficult.

Magdolna, Hungary

2017-01-30 18:40:15 UTC

I've found the examples of using ICT in the classroom really inspiring. As a language teacher,I really like the way the applications were exploited during developing communication skills, providing opportunities for everyone to practise Irish at the same time in an encouraging and supportive atmosphere. In the other examples, the tools have also been carefully chosen, adjusted to the students' age and the level of their ICT skills.

Betül OLUK-İstanbul/Turkey

olukbetul34 — 2017-01-30 21:05:15 UTC

Thanks to teachers on videos. These videos enable us to figure out how we can insert the technology tools and devices in our lesson plans solidly. In the first video the teacher states that he is new at using technology and I feel like him. According to the innovation maturity model, learners are still teacher-directed, they can use techonological sources, learner are producers because they use the internet tool ( Socrative) to improve their writing skills and they can record their voices anywhere they want ( it is good for constructive feedback and learning outside school) they use the tool as an assessment tool, as well. However they are not on the level of extend and empower because the learners do not organize their own learning. I like video 2 and video 3 because they are great in the terms of seating arrangements, learners autonomy, communication, collaboration, collecting real data, analaysing them, considering internet safety (google drive- individual folders directing sts to reliable sources), choosing suitable learning and asssessment tools according to the subjects and aims(Popplet, padlet, visualizer, scanner, laptops, IWB etc.), discussion times to evaluate works( social learning), producing something, making video conference ( connecting with an Irish school)and collecting information from the real source and using English as the medium of communication. In addition, on video 3, not each pupil has got a computer or a tablet, this is a strength for us , too but the teacher is talking about organizing lesson well to solve this kind of problems. He is getting sts work in group to access the devices. He is making a good division of work.

Anna Maria Tomaselli from Italy

annamaria_tomaselli5 — 2017-01-30 22:15:26 UTC

Andrei, Romania

Andrei_ro — 2017-01-30 22:17:22 UTC

I've watched how lessons would look like in the near future. I've seen happy students working in groups and enjoying every moment of the lesson. Hungry minds I may name them as they were very preoccupied cu find out more info about the subject and complete the task their group received.
It is quite an achievement to work and create a positive and collaborative environment for students.

Anne Fischer, Berlin

2017-01-31 08:24:52 UTC

I love using technology in my classroom and am thankful for these tips from other students. One of the big themes I took away from the videos is that the preparation often is the most time consuming (I know that myself from preparing my own lessons with technology) but the lessons and the assessments after that go relatively quickly. We need to be patient in our preparation of lesson plans using technology- after that things will run much more smoothly.

Ezgi Ulutan, Turkey

2017-01-31 08:36:24 UTC

It very attractive videos. Teachers design the lesson using technology and activities in videos. Activities are simple but they focus on subject directly and well designed. In second videos, divided class into small groups and define the pupils work in group provide the teacher to guide the class easily. To give chance the pupils using IWB support them using technology during lecture.

salvatriceloiacono — 2017-01-31 10:15:32 UTC

I liked the idea of having students record or videorecord themselves while speaking Irish and then send the file to the teacher for assessment.

Ana Fonseca, Portugal: I really enjoyed watching these three short videos because they are a reflection of what we can do to change the classical teaching method. All of them promote the involvement of students in their own process of leanring, by collaborating with their peers and finding their own ways to get to the final goal. In video 1 the teacher had still a more centered role in directing the pupils’ work by using the Socrative app. But the idea of using an app to record their oral practice on an MP3 format is clever. I have already used these two apps and I agree with this teacher, they are very interesting and motivating for students, especially for us, Language teachers who many times have shy students who don’t like to expose themselves in front of the class. So by allowing them to record their voices outside the classroom we are developing their autonomy and resilience. The second video shows us a strategy that I have also already used last year, Project Based learning, and that had magnificent results as students really like to investigate and decide what, when, where and how to do to get to a final project. This is very cool! I also liked the third video and I think students, at least smaller ones, like using the Padlet app to express their opinion and knowledge’s. I don’t know the app Popplet, so now I’m looking forward to check it. As a conclusion, I really like using apps in the classroom because they allow students to work collaboratively and get more motivated in what they are doing as they are the center of work.

2017-01-31 18:00:00 UTC

The videos are very interesting. Socrative is an excellent tool to facilitate collaborative work. Even the use of Google drive seemed very helpful and easy to use with children of Primary school. I think that the digital whiteboard, laptop computers, iPad and the various app as much Popplet stimulate pupils and make any job more interesting.

Melissa Esposito, Italy

melissa_esposito — 2017-01-31 22:15:17 UTC

I found these three videos very interesting and enjoying beacause tey let me to reflect about what I can do to change my classical teaching method. For example the use of an interactive board can be very interesting to help students in collaborative Learning. I'm very enthusiastc about the Socrative app.

Rossella, Italy

rossella_esposito — 2017-01-31 23:04:27 UTC

The most interesting aspect of the three videos is that technology can support collaborating activities in the classroom. I usually use technology in my classrooms and I agree with the teacher in the second video, that technology works on students' motivation and that through it all the various learning styles can be taken in consideration.

Maria Rosaria Sabina

rosaria_sab — 2017-02-01 12:58:54 UTC

I am very happy with the video because they push us to find new solutions in education to involve studnti collaboratively. I use the Socrative program for example, and I check to make students learn in small group.

Maria Calà, Italy

ilacrisere — 2017-02-01 15:06:18 UTC

The most interesting of the three is the use of video technology to support collaboration of classroom activities. The use of an interactive whiteboard is very attractive to assist in collaborative learning students perchèl'ho already experienced in past years, but in my school today because of restructuring reasons we do not LIM to work on, no laptops or tablet use in class, and after starting in previous years to take its first steps with the technology is hard to go back and make more effort to improve their loyalty and attention.

Marta Tarantino

martatarantino — 2017-02-01 15:09:31 UTC

I would definitely place the three example lessons on the stage three of the IMM. The technologies employed, Socrative, IWB, Popplet, Padlet, the Visualizer, are used not only for providing but also for producing content, the students being active producers of content. I especially like the way the students, thanks to technology, can use all learning styles and collaboratively build their knowledge.

Inga, Latvia

elksne_inga — 2017-02-01 15:12:37 UTC

Thank you for this opportunity! What I liked best about each lesson:
1. The teacher created a sample speech not standing in front of the class and simply speaking but with the help of an avatar - a great idea to engage students.
2. Absolutely gorgeous! The highest level, even no comments.
3. Great activities, students occupied all the time. Great work organization.

Fulvia, Italy

fulvia_colzi — 2017-02-01 17:16:22 UTC

In these videos we can appreciate collaboration, integration of technology in everyday activities, the possibility to learn in a different way. Digital devices can redefine teachers and students role and design new ways to learn. The first video, in my opinion, is placed at the second/ third step of the maturity model. The second video at the third step, and I place the third video at the fourth step of the maturity model.

Marko Brajković, Croatia

2017-02-01 20:22:27 UTC

First of all, thanks to teachers who dedicated their time to learn us. In first video, teacher is creating his own digital materials, share them with students. He uses Socrative, tool I've never heard before, but it looks interesting. For me, this is third or fourth level of Innovation Maturity. Second video is even more better, students are creators, they have a final product of their project. Well done! It's great to see how students collaborate in video three. I use Padlet, video gave an idea to use it even more. At the end, I ask myself...where to find more time to prepare and organize lessons like this?! They are so well structured and carefully planned.

Daniela Millini, Italy

teacherman — 2017-02-01 23:09:08 UTC

All the three activities proposed are very interesting. The first one might seem the less collaborative, as students mostly work in pairs, but this allows them to practice and improve the language in a much more relaxed and motivating climate than when they are forced to use a language they don't feel confident of in front of a whole class. This first activity also requires a remarkable amount of preparation work by the teacher. The other two activities focused more on helping the students actively build their knowledge, while the teachers just gives them some prompt and monitors their progress; the use of technology is more indipendent than in the first case - but it's also true that the aim of the activities is quite different. I especially like the product of the second activity - the time-machine - and the different steps which gradually guide the students to achieve this final result.

krisalpa — 2017-02-02 20:21:36 UTC

I find all the lessons quite interesting. The three examples show how technology can be well integrated into the classroom in a reflective way, depending on the goals set by the teachers, the needs or the different ages of the students.

The first video, the use of Socrative to easily evaluate content, work in pairs, the possibility of sharing all written work in the IWB may correspond to level 2 or 3 and the other two examples could be in level 3. I would liked to see an ICT experience in kindergarden classroom as well.

Vinja, Serbia

2017-02-03 09:26:56 UTC

I liked all the lessons. Sokrative is nice, but I think you need to have computers for each child to do it, and it certanly saves your time to grade, and gives you more time to improve weaknesses. I liked the Italian example because it gave me few more new ideas about grading. IWB is a new feature in our school, just insalled, so I got some new ideas about how to use it. Thank you

Magdalena M, Spain

2017-02-03 15:06:24 UTC

I would place the teaching process in the first video in the first stage of innovation maturity as technology is used within traditional teaching approaches and the learners are teacher-directed. This is the approach I usually use in my classes due to the lack of space and technology devices. I have also used Socrative and it’s a very useful tool.

The second and third videos are more in the third level as technology is not only used to providing content but to producing it.

Clara Vitorino, Portugal

2017-02-03 15:28:45 UTC

First of all, I think the three examples are very interesting and stimulating. It's difficult to place them in a specif stage. The three teachers are at easy with different digital tools, they combine technology with traditional resources (books, sheet, pens....), all of them change the class scenario (we can see students working in groups around a table, in front of a digital board , sitting on the floor), but we don't know how much support is given by the school, how much exchange of ideas and tools is made between the teachers... Nor do we know at what extent techonology is used in daily routine (25%? 50%?) . So I would place this three examples in stage three, although it could be higher if "collaboration" is indeed effective in the school and social environement.

Luka from Croatia

2017-02-03 15:42:21 UTC

I especially liked the second lesson because it incorporated a lot of elements of various teaching fields, along with those that are deemd intercurricular, like collaboration. The other two were also okay, however with the first video, I felt that students were using technology in a way that is not fully engaging. Ofocurse, it is useful to gather all the answers at once and present them on the IWB, but has this really engaged the students? In the last lesson I felt some of this also, but as the students got to try out various forms of activities (working on laptops, IWB, getting their hands dirty, workbooks,etc.) it seemd that they were much more engaged. Still, I like the second one best, beacuse of the use of various forms of resources, and connecting children with other, foreign, children in a meaningful way.

Banu Memişoğlu, Turkey

banumat11 — 2017-02-03 21:48:45 UTC

I am very happy to examine the implementation of my colleagues in different parts of the world. I wanted to classify the students in my classroom so they could research and present the geometry courses in different countries. They used the interiors for presentations. At the end of the group and self-assessed. Just because I was involved in a work with the boy, I had students who took lessons and got very good results. Magnificent quintile collaboration + research + oz evaluation + technology + presentation

Keratso, Greece

keratsog — 2017-02-04 09:07:23 UTC

All three presentations were very nice and helpful and gave me ideas to try to change the way of my teaching. Especially at the first where the teacher created a sample speech not standing in front of the class and simply speaking but with the help of an avatar - a great idea to engage students and make them more interested in the lesson. On the 3rd video we see a class busy all the time and students being occupied.

1) I like Socrative.
2) I think that it is the best and more complete project, which helps to develop different skills.
3) I think that to have less computers than students can be a pro, because in this way they are encouraged to work together.

1) I like Socrative and the use of it for analysing common mistakes
2) I like the use of different kind of activities for
developping a large amount of skills.
3) I like the way students work togheter on a big interactive whiteboard.
I like the way students use real thinks and virtual environment, too.

Best points from video 1

Students use technology as a key for complete their activities in class.
Students can develop their oral and written skills using Socrative tool. They can whispering in a new language to their peer and it’is not necessary speaking in front of an auditory.
Teacher uses different sense: hearing, watching,...
Teachers uses Socrative software can improve year by year your own lessons (using pictures, new recordings and videos) and at the same time give feedback to the teachers about student’s recordings in mp3 files, writings, etc...

Best points from video 2

Technology is used in collaborative projects in class. It can encourage more motivation, interest in the class,
Working in groups help student to develop different points and skills in a group.
Assessment can be in group and individual.
They share their work in google drive documents.
Students can get in touch with other classes from other countries.

Best points from video 3

They use different tools in class: Popplet, Padlet
They different devices like: IPAD, laptop, IWB (Interactive White Boad), the Visualizer,...
In this class they learn doing investigative activities, discussing work, co-ordinate work,.
He is giving us a piece of advice: practice simple activities in class using technology step by step.

I am impressed with all the classes. The aim of the lesson is kept in focus while online tools were there to make things more effective at almost every step of the way. Great job! for each one..

The three experienes are great. The first one, apparently is the "easiest" of the three of them. The teacher prepares a lesson in which a lot of technology is used and it is well- designed: the objetcives of the lesson are well- defined so the students know what is expected of them.
The second video shows an example of PBL and so, implies more collabotarion. The third example is an example of the last stage of the Innovation Maturity Model with lots of collaboration. The students learn and collaborate and the teacher is just a "learning-guide"

I like very well the three videos because I did somehow all three experiences.
In the first I like the use of Socrative: in my school sometimes we have quiz on line and we use Kahoot for topics assessment.
About the second video I like expecially the collaborative work and the autonomous use of the tools and of the device. Also in my school we have eTwinning projects and sometimes we do the same work of Italian colleague.
In the third video, I like expecially the combination of traditional work and the use of technologies. The colleague says the device are not much, but I think this is good because the students should preserve the link with the traditional manual work: write by hand, use exercise books and traditional books, working with your hand held them to develop all the skills.

the use of technology is a valuable resource for the school, unfortunately not all schools are equipped with these tools.

Alicia Serrano,Spain

2017-02-04 16:53:29 UTC

In general, in the three experiences we can see very similar aspects in favor of the use of new technologies in the classroom.

In each of the sessions would highlight:
* 1st Session: the immediate faceback that students receive from their work
* 2nd Session: the collaborative work being done, and the possibilities of breaking down space barriers. ICT allows us to communicate with colleagues from different parts of the world, and to carry out projects together enriching our learning.
* 3rd Session: Motivation and focus on learning, through the use of different tools. Promoting a very active learning.

At the first lesson I liked that the teacher used technology in order to improve students’ skills and their collaboration. At the second lesson I especially liked the collaboration students had in order to achieve a goal via a common project using technology and the English language, which was not their native language. Finally, at the third lesson students using technology had an active role in order to construct their knowledge.

Emiliana, Italy

emiliana_rufo — 2017-02-04 20:27:35 UTC

In the first video I like the use of IWB by the teacher. How did he create his avatar to explain the lesson?
In the second video I liked the CLIL activity in a 5th grade classroom.
In the third video I liked the activity, the use of Padlet on different devices.

The above lessons are the bright and inspiring examples of what the learning process should be like in the nearest future all over the world. Every class in the video is unique in its way demonstrating the use of the technology to , forming the 21st century skills. As for me they are between the 4th and the 5th level of the maturity model

Alessandra Basso Italy

alessandra_bass — 2017-02-04 22:13:57 UTC

All of three videos show how technologies can be used in creative way by students. In the first video I expecially liked the interaction and feedback between teacher and students. In the second video I liked the CLIL lessons and how the cooperative learning was realized. In the third video there was a CLIL lesson as well, but conducted in different way.

What I like most about the lessons is the teachers attitudes towards technology. The first one says he´s not an expert, yet he´s experimenting with vokis and getting excellent results. The second one is collaborating with another country and she has organised complex tasks. The third one provides ideas when there are not enough computers for the students. They are all proud of the outcome and recommend the use of technology in the classroom. So I will follow their advice.

José Luis, Spain.

2017-02-05 09:19:49 UTC

I find them very interesting.
The first is a more classic model; The subject was prepared using technology and the objectives were very clear and defined.
In the second it is seen that a greater involvement and collaboration is necessary that in the third must be total.
I wish I could get something like my students.

Chiara C., Italy

2017-02-05 14:53:33 UTC

These three videos are very interesting. The first experience makes us know how it is possible to use Technology even if we are not expert at this. Students use it, knowing what they are expected to do. The teacher can observe them and be a facilitator and then he can listen to the works of his students by MP3, and others devices. In the second experience we can see a History collaborative lesson: students can learn about Celts, developing English by Clil and social competences.
In the third video collaboration students can
collaborate, investigate, discuss, using a lot of devices in an active and
authentic task.

Elvia, Italy

2017-02-05 16:53:54 UTC

In the first video, the teacher uses technology to show his work and to evaluate students;
In the second one, teacher uses both collaborative learning and teacher guidance at the same time; in the third video, teacher is tutoring the students during their work, in a collaborative way.

juditxaus — 2017-02-06 13:50:46 UTC

At school we use socrative, which is a cool way for students to be evaluated, and a fast and easy tool that helps the teacher correct.

We also use google drive, which leads to a group project which is totally collaborative and that can be followed by the teacher at the same time.

We've never used popplet, but I think the 3rd activity was funny and engaging as well.

Maria Antonietta Italy 1st video) Students use technology as a tool to deepen their attività.Gli pupils develop their activities with Socrates; Socrates analyze common mistakes; continuous feedback, the teacher is a facilitator. 2nd video) collaborative lesson, motivation, individual assessment, collective; breaking down barriers-Google drive.3 ° video) investigators pupils with Padlet and Lim; experiment In these lessons I like everything: the furnishing of the classrooms; the methodologies that promote group work, experiencing and doing

I like all videos but especially in the first video the words that the teacher said are really impressive and encouraging: "I m not an expert about technology, I m learning."
I generally use Web 2.0 tools based on collaborative works because my students couldnt use them themselves in their own pcs we dont have enough so we make groups and they work on the same toipc but by using different web 2.0 tools.

Mairead Ireland

2017-02-06 19:32:54 UTC

All 3 videos show children working in a collaborative way using technology. The teacher creates the space and gives opportunity for the pupils to make the learning experience their own through interacting with technology and their peers. They are active participants in their learning. The fact that the teacher is also learning gives me great hope for me! Another bit of advice I was encourage by was to start small and build.

When we watch these videos, we feel that we are really far behind. They are very inspiring! What we like to see is the motivation with which the students work, the interest and dedication to the requested tasks, promoting the collaborative work, essential in the 21st century. This is considered to be the most powerful effect of ICT use in the classroom; Motivation.

Maite Fresnillo, Spain

symbaloo2 — 2017-02-07 10:58:56 UTC

These videos are very good examples of the collaborative practice in the classroom. Even when they may appear to be easy, I see that there is a big work behind them: probably these teachers have devoted a good number of hours to the design of the activity, in addition to probably previous practices. The result is great and pupils look to enjoy!

Good teachers with great attitudes.
1) He played to his students a recorded example of him describing a picture. It was animated. The teacher let students describe a picture and through Socrative, he displayed all their answers on board together, on the interactive whiteboard.
2) For little children it is nice and creative. Not for my circumstances, the drawing takes time. Or if I taught art, which I do not. But I did a similar activity about Romans in England, SS got materials to study and then in groups made genially presentations about cities / growth of the Empire / army, etc.
3) I like the task of making a park. Popplet
SS are active and moving, collaborating.

I have loved all these videos. They show very interesting ways to use technology. I have some doubts on how I can use it the way they do. A lot of the things that I have seen (a PC for at least two pupils, clean and clear classrooms with a lot of space) are not present in my school and I still struggle everyday with slow Internet connection and / or PCs going off the moment I need them.....
All this is very frustrating.

lareta_zubrinic — 2017-02-11 10:09:39 UTC

All three videos presents very interesting examples of using ICT in classrooms. I especially like the idea that encourage teachers who aren't experts in using ICT to try all the possibilities of ICT. In my school, we don't have a IWB, but that is going to change very soon. :-)

Great example of cooperative learning in the second video – so much interesting activities! Circle time and evaluation is very important to get information of how much did the kids learned.

Socrative seems very interesting, it's so interactive, but I have never used it. I like the idea of recording a MP3 and sharing with teacher or peers. Of course, the teachers preparation of materials is very important.

I can say that examples of learning activities is very useful for me because last year my school became a part of ICT project: “e-Schools: a comprehensive informatization of school operation processes and teaching processes aimed at the creation of digitally mature schools for the 21st century”.

So, hopefully, next time you will be watching a video from my school:-)

Good examples . Each lesson pointed up the use of technology. I liked more the classification of animals lesson because the children were free in sitting, free in saying their opinion, free in moving so... free for colaboration and comunication. They used not only a way of technology and feel free to use all they like to find out about animals

I like the use of Socrative and other tools which raise use of technology and cooperative learning. An IWB in an useful tool in a classroom. Great!

Brigitta Koncz - Romania

2017-02-11 21:12:39 UTC

I think that the first teacher uses the IWB very efficiently: it is sometimes very difficult to give feed-back on oral presentations, because you can not always react on the spot and correct mistakes, and some students always fail to hear some words. By seeing the written version of the answer, everybody can be aware of the mistakes and also see some better examples they can use at a later presentation. The second video shows a lesson in which students can be in control of their own learning. They can use technology as a means to learn English, history, but also to get in touch with other students, use a scanner or the IWB. The third one shows such a relaxed way of using technology that it is not even acknowledged as something extraordinary: it's a biology lesson I myself would enjoy. :)

alma_negra7 — 2017-02-13 16:32:11 UTC

The best of three for me, is the first, where teacher has an avatar like partner and together are teaching in the classroom. This way, we can improve the motivation of our students.

2017-02-17 16:16:48 UTC

Nice examples of learning by doing, by cooperating, and using the ICT for a project based learning. I would place the first two examples on the third stage of the IMM, as students are working also outside the classroom, while the third example is between the first and the second stage.

You can no longer think of doing school without prevedre entry, in our classrooms, technology. This is part of life in toto of the boys and now also that of us adults. The school can not remain that scenario separating real life from that of learning situations, because all spaces and environments favor learning and new technologies, even give us a big hand in promoting the teaching and learning process , both with non-disabled students, but even more, or with difficult pupils with special educational needs
