It ´s in Roldán, a small village in Murcia.

There are students from different countries: Morocco, Ecuador,

Lithuania, United Kingdom, Romania, Cuba. Being most of the from Morocco.

There is a low cultural level and motivation towards school is also low.

Economy is based on agriculture, building and transport.

I am a privileged person because I have 6 tablets for 24 studets and I share them with one colleague.

I think I´m a lucky teacher because it is unusual to have tablets in our schools in Spain.

Why I use tablets?

Due to the characteristics of my students: with students with a lack of attitude towards learning and without motivation is difficult to develop traditional lessons and we are in a society where mobile devices are around us, so school must integrate them in our practise to let our students the chance to use them properly by giving them tools and resources to get the academic aims and compentences .

We have one lesson with computers and 4th-5th and 6th grade studets have another lesson in English with computers.
And I have 6 tablets that I share with another teacher to start a pilot programme because we want to introduce tablets in our lessons next school year in three groups.

Up to now we have deal punctual activities in small groups to increase collaborative work.
There is a change in our metodology and when we use tablets students are more motivated to deal the task. It´s difficult to use tablets all the time because there is a lack of knowledge of how to use properly mobile devices and different skills but step by step we are getting some of our goals.

I started to use edmodo three years ago. I like the interface similar to Facebook.

I use it as a meeting point. My students ask questions or send me tasks. 

I upload marks.

And sometimes parents by using student´s account send me messages (when I started to use it parents could send messages by using their accounts but now it is not possible) although some of them have edmodo account to follow their children´s progress.

It´s a great tool with many options.

The next step will be use quizzes or edmodo apps.

In my classroom students work in groups of 4. I have got 24 students so I have 6 groups.

Due to the diversity of my students. I have students with different levels of learning. I try to create heterogeneous groups because all of them can contribute to the tasks.

Up to now this way of workig works because one of the goal when working in groups is to integrate those students with low level.

This school year I have a group with many troubles to work together so this is the reason I established the roles but every month I change them.

I´d refer they choose the role but it´s been a new experience for them working in groups.

If we take into account the different tools to be used with tablet we have a powerful tool, but if we don´t use properly it will be a waste of money in equipment in our schools.

First of all, teachers should be trained in a proper use of tablets and then they will be ready to introduce in classrooms.

Google drive has many tools to start to organise and create content.

Edmodo is a good platform to be connected and share content and ideas.

There are many apps to be used and teacher should act as content curator and offer those that develop different skills in students to let them to get access to a variety of experiences.

I love AR because focuses on imagination and different skills are put into practice.
