Living inside a prison has to be terrific and sometimes it is too difficult to get the attention of my students. So, I am trying to introduce tablet in my work without the internet, because they need to get the skill of touching the screen of this kind of mobile device, due to the life outside the prison doesn't stop waiting for the people who has to live along a time in one place like this.

Along these seven school years in my school, my colleagues and me get two prizes in Spain with our ANOCA project:

I'm sorry, but it is only in Galician language.

In this project, two inmates who come to our school, go with two teachers to a High School to talk with teenagers about the reasons that make them to go to prison.

In the last two years, we were working in a Lifelong Learning Program with 8 associations of different countries. You can see the webpage below, which is written in English

I was working in different High Schools until september of 2008 when I arrived to my current workplace, EPAPU de Teixeiro, where I teach adults.

I registered in this course because I am very interested to improve my ICT skills and my English.

I think that the present teaching in Spain are both of them skills.

Probably, some of our learners, can afford to buy a tablet or a smartphone, but there is a device that it isn´t allow in my school or in the prison.

We`ve just bought 11 iPads for teachers and one laptop but we never have a meeting to tell about the possibilities of the tablet. Probably, more than a half of the iPads are in their homes taking pawder. There is no coordination between the teachers to work together in the way to introduce tablets to our learners.

As we haven't the internet, all the activities have to be with apps which work offline, so I'll have to prepare perfectly the activity at home. If they record something, I can previously check it to upload to the internet if it is interesting for it.

I'll try to use a lot the tablet in my classroom, but without the internet, I have a very big problem.

I hope that in a few years I'll come back to a High School where I can use Edmodo or Moodle, the app for teaching that we can use in our school webpage.

We use different apps about augmented reallity, as QRAFTER or AURASMA. And apps to record videos, as iMovie or showing the way in which you can solve a problem with Showme.

Obviously, as a Math teacher, my learners will use Geogebra.

Since I'm working in my school, my students prefer a traditional way of teaching and due to the internet isn't allow, sometimes is too dificult to work in groups in my subject.

I'm thinking in the possiblity, after this MOOC, to work in groups sometimes and I'll choose the groups thinking that they have to be similar in their habilities to work, but it would be that I'll have some problems because there are difference between them, they are inmates and living inside a prison has to be extremely dificult.

I think that a good way to get that the learners focus in the activity is set a deadline to finish the work.

Getting that all the students works you can make groups which the habilities of each learners are different and all these skills have to be present in the work.

It wasn't a school-to-school collaboration project, but it took me a lot of time because I was working in the webpage. So, I didn´t try to get a etwinning project.

I have to think in the correct way to work in a school to school collaboration project without the internet in the classroom, I think that it took me a lot of work at home because the internet in the staff room is not good and I'm teaching adults who live in very particular conditions and I'll probably need a special permission to work in a project like this.

Adding to them, most of them only had contact with PC to steal from a car or a shop.

So, changing their thaught about school, is a little difficult.

Anyway, we didn`t have the conditions to try to change this and work some skills without some devices as tablets, smartphones or PCs.

So, it is impossible for my students to use a smartphone or a tablet in his "home".

And, at the school, only without the internet and we haven't got tablets enough to make 1:1 method.

Finally, I can't add any interesting thing to this question.

While this is not possible, I can't flip my classroom but I think that it is very interesting because they can check the videos or the resources the times that they need.

- The student need the internet at home.

- The student need a tablet, smartphone or a PC at home.

- We have to use the tool that they like more. Some of them prefer Youtube. Obviously, tools which use pictures.

In my school, it is not possible to use.

Maybe that I use Showme, Educreations or some tool like a digital blackboard to record some videos.

Probably, I`ll use Edmodo or Moodle, and the different tools of Google.

The change of the three days to finish the Learning diary, I think that it was a very good idea because I found time to finish the work.

Greetings from Galicia to everyone.
