We love doing project work. ]]> 2018-11-08 22:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/302358168 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/302360568  My experience with PBL is very positive and that is why I am here, hoping to continue my professional development and engage my students in some wonderful, creative and collaborative eTwinning projects. It is my first time in eTwinning. This is an amazing way of collaboration and sharing. ]]> 2018-11-08 22:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/302360568 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/302851874 The biggest online community where we can create collaborative projects and build contact with colleagues, share practices. One big community of schools in Europe where we use PBL to make learning engaging for all students, fun and creative.Where we learn to learn. ]]> 2018-11-10 12:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/302851874 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304858192 I hope to improve my students's ICT skills, collaboration with their peers, critical thinking and creativity, the positive attitude in the use of English language in a functional, practical way. PBL could improve all I hope for by ineraction and engaging them in a problem solving project. I would like to try collaboration with their peers from other countries and engaging them in a creative project. I"m not happy with their lack of interest sometimes, they aren't focused on a task or solving a problem for a long time,. I hope PBL could help them with that.They also need more speaking interactions and practice. ]]> 2018-11-15 15:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304858192 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304866384 Hi everyone!
3 things : 
1. I teach English as a foreign language in a primary school in Serbia.  
2.I love PBL, it is the great way of finding the best ways of learning and relating everything around us, all school project in a meaningful,creative and productive environment. I have enperience in one international project and siince then my wish is to become an eTwinning member ! 
3. I've got 2 children and this is my way of setting an example of good practice. 
2 activities : 
1. I couldn't stop teaching and using PBL in my classroom!
2. I could never stop continuing professional development! It's how I learn about my own skills and talents and see other people or students' talents and great skills at work. It inspires me !!! 
1 dream job - something related to sport or a professional chef :) ! ]]> 2018-11-15 15:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304866384 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304867201 I have a great experience with PBL and when I first started this kind of learning I discovered amazing skills,possiblilites and talents my students had and actions they were able to do and achieve. Since then I practice PBL in my classroom as much as I can, mostly through real-world connections and cllaboration. It's a way students learn more about themselves,others and the subject in a way they never experience in a traditional classroom. They relate and they remember. ]]> 2018-11-15 15:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/304867201 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/306644130 In my teaching I use Power Point Presentations, Word Art, Padlet, Kahoot, Voki. I suggest them to my students as a possibility to help them with their shool projects, presentations or work at home . My students' need to get involved in speaking English more, in mutual interactions to become aware of their own knowledge and possibilities. They need to collaborate with their peers to get the broader picture of the importance and use of English in our classroom. To understand that language is a bridge and it can help them discover beautiful world we have with people and their cultures all around. They need the positive attitude and the meaningful grounds for learning. The projects we feel interested in are related to spreaking practice collaboration. I've found an intersting project ' Let's speak English' and I am also interested in involving my SEN students in a project to help them use their talents and strengths.]]> 2018-11-21 08:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/306644130 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/306644875 The areas of improvement or learning that I detected in my teaching are definitely collaborative learning, the use of technology in classroom, communication with peers and work on a lack of motivation sometimes and including SEN students in productive learning. 
The projects that I found might help me are 'Creating Eco-Schools' 'Let's meet together' 'Let's speak English' ]]> 2018-11-21 08:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/306644875 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/307089124 All 6 evaluation criteria are very important for a sussessful project. I would choose Communication and Integration among partner schools. It's important to keep open channals of communication and use all the ICT tools that make you comfortable and confident to carry out tasks and exhcange information and everything you plan to do during the project time. ]]> 2018-11-22 18:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/307089124 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/307093499 1.

We usually have parallel activities among schools but these tips are wonderful for keeping us on track when start forgeting the main purpose of the project. When schools do activities parallel and aftherwards share their experieence, they still don't collaborate in the actual process of the activities. Sometimes this can be frustrating for the teacher, make him feel isolated or alone but in fact, they should always bear in mind to mingle and 'knit' their project together :) . ]]> 2018-11-26 13:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/307752073 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/2217260416 2022-06-10 08:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/2217260416 vesna_jaquet https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/2217261106 2022-06-10 08:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vesna_jaquet/vfjl0n5ofrto/wish/2217261106
