Hi... i'm from Portugal. I'm teaching portuguese in Escola Básica Marinhas do sal Rio Maior, about 80km north Lisbon. 
I like my job and i 'm ready to learn more about PBL.]]> 2016-06-06 18:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/113843438 My school elsammhp https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425015  My school has about 1100 students from ages 5-16. The classes are small, about 20-25 students. We have motived and engaged students and others not really... Why some  students don't are  engaged and motived? May be the answer is in the strategies used by us, the teachers... So, that's why i want to change and improve my strategies to catch those .students

But i have a dout, and if the students don't want to do nothing at all at the classesroom? ]]> 2016-06-12 20:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425200 1.2 Why use PBL? elsammhp https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425305 On video " Propositions Project. 21 first Century Skills", i can see the type of skills and competences the students are developing as a result of PBL:
1. Identification of real problems ; 
2-critical thinking; 
3- resolution of the problem, 
4- preserverance; 
5- motivation; 
6-inovation; 
7- teamwork.
The academic skills are also developed in media literacy; tecnologie; social cross cultures;flexibility; leadership, among others.

PBL requires a change of teaching, requires time to prepare our lessons. It's not easy, but it's time to start changing...we must think on our students,improve their motivation and engagement in learning. ]]> 2016-06-12 20:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425356 1.3 P2P- Reflections on our current teaching practice elsammhp https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425459  I try to vary the lessons as much as i can.I don't want my students bored.Generally, i work with the manual all the texts of the authors recommended by the national program. I must work literature education, text output, oraly,grammar and understanding and interpretation. Although portuguese is the maternal language, the students have some difficult in the text output and interpretation. I try to diversify the strategies:- team work; -field trips; - search informations through net;- dramatizations; -debates; etc...My students, they use PC and tablets from the school and their own Ipads or tablets  They like work on Powerpoin and prezi.

However it's a diffcult to combine with our way of " traditional "testing evaluation. ]]> 2016-06-12 20:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114425952 1.5 The Driving Question elsammhp https://padlet.com/elsammhp/v318u7kfwfts/wish/114426024  After watching the video about " Five Keys to Rigorous Project- Basead Learning", i know rigth now this  teaching method is based on: real world, core to learning. collaboration, student driven and assessements.  I can see this project contains a very mutifaceted assesments.
