From Learning Activities to Learning Stories by Teacher Academy

Very interesting even thought I think students are a bit too much free in organizing a dream...it's a long and accurate work, too, unsuitable for Italian didactic processes. Maybe, we can use this method as a workshop on special occassions or moments in a school year.

I think it is very interesting but as my pupils are very young I will have to fit it in a different way so my students will be able to carry on this activity

Anita, Croatia

anita_simac — 2017-02-06 14:34:16 UTC

This is an excellent way to do project work, the concept is detailed and requires mentoring the students and good organisation.

Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece

psaridou — 2017-02-06 14:46:27 UTC

I found both the video and the examples very interesting. What will be difficult for me is the fact that a) my students are very young so many of the above mentioned steps will be out b) their mother language is different from the country's language (they speak turkish and I teach greek), so I will have to use vocabulary that suits there knowledge of greek, which is limited in this age.

Antónia Brandão, PT

dolores_brandao — 2017-02-06 15:11:58 UTC

Although colleagues seemed worried because their students are too young, my question is the opposite, my students are maybe too old...and is difficult to involve 16 to 19 years old em some activities.All seems fantastic, but when in real class, is difficult to motivate then.

Anyway, i think that some of us are already using this methodology even without calling it Learning Stories or learning activities. When I look to the classwork that i do, I saw that behind is a learning story and some of the activities that are suggested are daily activities...The GENERIC LEARNING ACTIVITIES can be easily transformed in CONTEXTUALISED LEARNING ACTIVITIES: LEARNING STORY and good examples are presented . From my experience i can say that this kind of work demands lots of time...and we never have enough

really interesting and challenging

Federica, Italy

These exemples are very interesting, but how realize them in a first level of a primary school?

Isabelle squillaci -Bari _ Italy

squillaci_isabelle — 2017-02-06 16:08:27 UTC

This learning activities are a very good description of that i will use to do for my final assessment that is my learning story .

Alina Popa

popalina21 — 2017-02-06 16:41:30 UTC

This are very interesting directions for a lesson and a concept for a lesson. I think we have the due to try this, or parts of this stories/activities , even our kids are little, even are too young or to teeneager...

Marc, Italy

2017-02-06 16:43:30 UTC

Very interesting

Rosa/ Italy

2017-02-06 16:46:07 UTC

It is very interesting.
The key point of the iTEC methodology was less about technologies but to reconsider how we organize our lessons into more student-centred, project-focused and collaborative learning environments that support the development of 21st Century Skills. Technology can be a powerful tool to help us with this but it is not essential to achieving this goal.

I teach italian literature in a high school and I am asking how I can realize this project? is it efficient for all subjects? I am not sure. I need help

I have some ideas. It will be a real challange for me to make a great Learning Story.

Giuseppina Serini, Italy

ser_giu — 2017-02-06 17:57:50 UTC

Interesting as an example, begin now to think about an activity to propose to my students by following the track here.

Josefina, Spain

jsfgspr — 2017-02-06 18:51:46 UTC

I'm now beginning to think in my Learning stories and Learning Activities , what the results are in the end? Let's se, this is quite a challenging task!

Salva, Spain

2017-02-06 19:27:15 UTC

It is really interesting. I like the way to organize the activities and especially the way to collect the feedback of the students to redirect the teaching. For my part, I practice some of these steps without getting my students to work autonomously. This is difficult in primary school. But I will take it as a challenge and try.

Vincenzo, Italy

studioferrenti — 2017-02-06 19:30:28 UTC

Very interesting and challenging

Maria Anna Casoria

goli291174 — 2017-02-06 19:31:29 UTC

Learning stories are related to narration,reflection,production.

Emiliana, Italy

emiliana_rufo — 2017-02-06 20:12:00 UTC

I think creating learning stories is a challenging task. I want to keep in mind all these examples and try to think about what I could do in class with my students.

Ksenija from Serbia

ksenijalaisicmiletic — 2017-02-06 20:27:07 UTC

I am not sure it is efficient to all subject. I teach English to primary students (age 7 to 14), and the classes are up to 25 students in each. How can I realize this? And my school is not equipped with laptops or tablets for teachers and students. Unfortunately, it is completely impossible.

Maria Giuseppa Sallemi, Italy

2017-02-06 21:30:45 UTC

Very interesting!
My pupils are too young but I try to make it!

Ana Pinheiro (Portugal)

aipinheiro — 2017-02-06 23:08:15 UTC

Creating a story of apprehension seems quite interesting. As I watched the video and then all the information, I was thinking what story I could create for my students ....However, I think it will not be easy (despite the example being illustrative) a first time. But I'm willing to try.

Kristina Kaučić, Croatia

2017-02-07 06:30:26 UTC

Very interesting and quite challenging. My students are 16 - 18 years old and I am not sure if they want to do such an activity.

Sonia, Spain

2017-02-07 09:25:24 UTC

my students are going to create a learning activity in English based upon a tale to be told. I will encourage them to work in groups and in a collaborative way

Simona S. Italy

2017-02-07 09:53:29 UTC

Very interesting activity. The key is to encourage students to collaborate with their peers thanks to cooperative learning. It can be an important tool in order to create many innovative activities.

Carmen Stanciu

carmenada69 — 2017-02-07 10:19:27 UTC

Actually this Learning story combines elements from Pbl and Flipped classroom. It is time consumer indeed and require hard work with little students because most learning activities are just learning from the beginner for they.

Daniela, Romania

danielamioarachisalita — 2017-02-07 12:35:12 UTC

Examples watched are great and helped me to better understand the concept of Learning Stories.

now I have more

Concetta, Italy

concetta_drago — 2017-02-07 14:36:15 UTC

I liked those activities. I think that in that way students became the protagonists of their learning and the teacher just a facilitator.

Emanuela, Italy

2017-02-07 15:01:23 UTC

These learning activities are very challenging for teachers and students, but it's a very interesting method

Fulvia, Italy

fulvia_colzi — 2017-02-07 15:26:48 UTC

It's time to start to reflect much more on our teaching method.

Rubén Moreno, Pt

ramc — 2017-02-07 15:40:41 UTC

I think this idea is very interesting.
However I do not know if the students / school will be prepared to adopt this idea.
Good challenge.

Angelina Alberico, Italy

2017-02-07 15:45:13 UTC

They are very interesting and constructive activities, and are also essential to accustom pupils to collaborate and to discuss together

Chiara S., Italia

kyarasar — 2017-02-07 16:01:47 UTC

Everything is quite clear!

Alessandro / Italy

2017-02-07 16:02:04 UTC

An interesting change of teaching method! It will be a challenge.

Iliyana, Bulgaria

2017-02-07 16:38:17 UTC

I agree with Frederica from Italy and Ksenija from Serbija - it will be difficult to implement all this to an English lesson in lower primary or elementary school. We usually are framed in the curriculum to be followed strictly. I have to think ...Seems impossible but who knows?

Ma Dolors Virgili

mdvirgili — 2017-02-07 17:50:56 UTC

Spain
I would like to work doing all these activities and implementing ne teaching methods. I think students need a lot of motivation nowadays.

It'a a very well plan balanced in all the learning activities presented...hoping to do a good job too for our final assessment of the course!

Caterina, Italy

2017-02-07 19:23:41 UTC

Very interesting and useful ideas.

George Kyriakopoulos

gkyriakopoul197 — 2017-02-07 19:48:27 UTC

So i guess following the steps one after another or in combination can provide stidents with motivation for team work

George, Greece

gliakeas — 2017-02-07 19:50:54 UTC

Interesting ideas, but it would be useful if we had the opportunity to see the REAL classroom activities and materials produced by students...

Athina, Greece

aginoudi — 2017-02-07 20:59:54 UTC

Really interesting, but for the today's class is very time consuming.

Now it's becoming clearer what a learning story is....😃

Gabriele Ornaghi - Crema, Italy

Clara Abegão, Portugal

claraabegao — 2017-02-07 22:58:12 UTC

Very interesting ideas and information to improve my teaching practice. I fell motivated to use it in the future.

Zulmira, Portugal

zulmiramag — 2017-02-07 23:50:37 UTC

It's a very interesting teaching method but very difficult to materialize! I think there are subjects, like on the example, that can be easier to make a Learning Story but, many of the subjects of the curriculum (of different areas) maybe very difficult to do this. I hope I can do my Learning Story for the final assessment!

Vanesa, Croatia

2017-02-08 04:54:47 UTC

Interesting and challenging

Amelia De Chiara, Italy

amelia_dechiara — 2017-02-08 06:07:47 UTC

With these concrete examples, now it's clear what is a Learning Story. The suggested Learning Activities are really interesting, I don’t call them in this way but these kind of activities are part of my teaching practise. About the Learning Story, it’s something I do when there’s an extra-curricular project and I have to show the whole project process and the results but I don’t call it LS. Moreover, from my experience, I think that there’s not enough time to do everytime a LS

Annamaria Egido, Italy

2017-02-08 07:53:39 UTC

The idea is very interesting and useful

Corine, France.

corineholroyd — 2017-02-08 09:40:47 UTC

Much clearer now. I agree with some of the comments. This is quite time consuming though and I am not sure you can apply it to every lesson. I believe however that changing technics is important. It obviously depend on the class you are teaching.
If your goal is to pass an exam in the final year, this might be less easy to apply, in other years, I think this is very interesting.

Angela P.,Italy

2017-02-08 10:52:34 UTC

Really interesting challenge both for pupils and for us teachers in putting in place

Edit, Hungary

tothedit0610 — 2017-02-08 12:32:31 UTC

It is much easier to understand the "learning story" concept with a concrete example! A nice challenge isshown in the example, though a bit time consuming considering both the preparation and the production phase. It also assumes the successful collaboration among the students, teachers and both sides, which is rather difficult to carry out at the same time.

Magdalena M, Spain

2017-02-08 14:13:30 UTC

I agree it’s much clearer now. However, it’s quite time consuming and our curriculum is so long I’m afraid we won’t have time to do this Learning Stories for each unit.

Maria Rosaria Sabina

rosaria_sab — 2017-02-08 18:14:00 UTC

Proposed activities in this module project us in a class from the future more and more open to group dynamics, those thet need to be guided and facilitated by theacher.

Cristina from Italy

prof_cau — 2017-02-08 18:26:03 UTC

This collaborative work is very useful to deal with some research work led especially in view of an examination. I am in agreement with many colleagues when they say that not for all the activities you can follow this approach. Our students are not as free and autonomous in the use of ITEC.

Lucia Lauria Spolidoro

lucialauria15 — 2017-02-08 19:18:30 UTC

The approach is certainly the most innovative and useful for work in the classroom of the future where the valuable collaboration and learning life skills require precise planning

Patrizia Sebastiano

Patseba — 2017-02-08 19:36:34 UTC

Really interesting!!!!!!

Clara Vitorino Portugal

2017-02-08 21:12:50 UTC

In order to plan a learning story in the secondary cycle we must forget, a little, the exams and invest in the interests and creativity of students. The resources are different but I think that the process is identical to the representing a work of drama. I'm a literature teacher and I have organized with my colleagues and pupils the representation of dramas for the parents and public in general. The question is to have the "dream"....

Ana Prados, Spain

2017-02-09 07:47:52 UTC

I agree with Edit on the issue of time consumingness and on the difficulty of assuring the engagement of all students. However, Ill dream of a learning story and tell about it.

Stelios Anastassopoulos, Greece: It seems to be time consuming but also very creative and effective in collaborating and understanding the real meaning, the value of the topic.

olgacarvalhomartins — 2017-02-09 11:20:56 UTC

Laura Serban, Romania

2017-02-09 13:36:48 UTC

I think these examples clearly explain the meaning of learning activities and learning story. It is innovative indeed.

Francesca; Italy

2017-02-09 14:16:00 UTC

Finally I got the meaning of learning stories

Cristina, Spain

krisalpa — 2017-02-09 15:21:29 UTC

I agree it’s much clearer now. It is easier to understand the "learning story" concept with a concrete example. Although it is very interesting, I think my pupils are very young ( 3 - 6 years) to work in this way.Principio del formulario

Ercília - Portugal

soleemare_a — 2017-02-09 15:46:42 UTC

In this video, Will describes how an iTEC teacher has used generic Learning Activities and turned them into a Learning Story. I really appreciate the versatility of these activities in that they can span a whole lesson or even more and can be used in any subject or with any age group. This teaching and learning approach reminds me of the Project Based Learning, a teaching method in which students work to investigate and respond to an engaging question, problem, or project by asking questions, finding resources, and applying information. Students are asked to make some decisions about the project, including how they work and what they create. Finally, they reflect on learning, the effectiveness of their inquiry and project activities, with their teachers in order to assess their work, obstacles and how to overcome them.

Mihaela, Romania

I watch the video and must say that in this video, Will describes how an iTEC teacher has used generic Learning Activities and turned them into a Learning Story. I appreciate the versatility of these activities in that they can span a whole lesson or even more and can be used in any subject or with any age group. This teaching and learning approach reminds me of the Project Based Learning.

Bartolomeo Corbo - Italy

bartolomeo_corbo — 2017-02-09 17:14:32 UTC

Very clear steps to move from a Learning Activity to Learning Stories. The steps involve teachers, students, stakeholders, expert and challenge them. And it involve different skills (explore, map, make, etc.). So learning is very deep and meaningful. I think if a student learn something in this way, he will not forget more.

Arianna, Italy

arix — 2017-02-09 18:48:00 UTC

It's the Content Creation Learning Scenario!! Fantastic!

Afroditi, Greece

2017-02-09 18:58:03 UTC

I think it's easier (for me at least) to visualize a learning story for a specific content than a generic learning activity. I can't quite see yet how to fit a generic activity to a specific content - it will either be too broad to be useful or too narrow to fit every subject.

Konstantina, Greece

2017-02-09 19:41:21 UTC

Learning activities presented by Will seem to make more clear the concept of a learning story.

LEARNING STORY, learning activities ... are very interesting

Ioannis Velonakis, Greece

2017-02-09 20:54:23 UTC

The above video helped me to distinguish Learning Activities from Learning Stories yet, in my point of view, it is seems quite easier to design Learning Scenarios for a specific case than to design general activities which may fit in a great number of cases… It seems to me that they would be too general to be useful.

woderful clearexample! thanks

Ana Fonseca, Portugal: The video was very interesting to clarify the concept of learning stories. The generic learning activities provide us with background information of what we have to think of to build out project, but then, these same activities contextualized help us to understand all this concept better. I liked to follow this story to understand what I can do with my students by collaborating with my colleagues at school. Let’s try and do our best in our final projects!

2017-02-09 22:23:55 UTC

Rossella, Italy

rossella_esposito — 2017-02-10 05:48:51 UTC

My lessons are based on PBL and I use all the explained generic learning activities. But I found the video and the explanations very useful to reflect on their use in my daily work.

HULYA BAL -TURKEY

2017-02-10 08:18:27 UTC

I think We must be more flexible when teaching. We have to make our lessons more planned. We must use technology in lessons.

Ankica, Croatia

Learning stories are great for organising projects.

Marta Tarantino

martatarantino — 2017-02-10 12:17:22 UTC

Turning "generic Learning Activities into an innovative and contextualised narrative" : here's the purpose of a Learning Story. The example provided helps us to fully understand this fundamental process. The role of the teacher may be that of a "dreamer" who allows learners to make their own "dreams" come true by providing them with a framework where all this may occur. I definitely imagine the three key elements we have examined so far - Learning Scenarios, Learning Activities, Learning Stories - as interdependent factors that, by feeding each other, allow for 21st century skills to be effectively pursued and achieved in the classroom.

Snezana,Macedonia I' m going to be very concise> Generic learning activities is to propose new methods in teaching for all subjects, curriculum aims, in general; but contextualized learning activities is something like case study for applied learning activities in specific subject with determined aims and teach-feedback.

2017-02-10 13:20:50 UTC

Adriana, Romania

Maria Calà, Italy

ilacrisere — 2017-02-10 17:12:52 UTC

I found the video and explanations very useful to reflect on their use in my daily work. A great idea to offer concrete examples step by step. The steps involving teachers, students, experts and challenge them. And involve different skills (explore, map, do, etc.). Thus, learning becomes very deep and meaningful. I think that if a student builds his knowledge in this way, the assets acquired and consolidated never forgotten.

Ana, Portugal

turmadecimus12 — 2017-02-10 20:00:51 UTC

In this video, Will introduces an example of how an iTEC teacher has used generic Learning Activities and turned them into an innovative and contextualized narrative to use in the classroom, in other words a Learning Story.

They follow the Learning Activity pattern of concrete and context-independent activities that could be used in any subject or with any age group.

The video is very interesting to clarify the concept of learning stories. The generic learning activities provide us background information of what we have to think how to build out project, but then, these same activities contextualized help us to understand all this concept better.

The generic learning activities can be easily transformed in contextualized learning activities: learning story and good examples are presented. From my experience I can say that this kind of work demands lots of time...and we never have enough.

Isabel Graça, Portugal

isamg — 2017-02-10 21:10:29 UTC

I think that a Learning Story can also be referred as a Project–Based Learning design. All the steps are there! However, I think it’s difficult to put in practice correctly, considering classes current organization and curriculum, and teachers and students timetable.

Marián Reguera, Spain

2017-02-10 23:19:34 UTC

It´s a clear , step-by-step way to get a Learning Story. Very useful to design a collaborative project with other partners in a different school. Not so easy to ask two teachers of the same school, especially in secondary, to work on the same project together, due to curricula constrains.

Zvonimira, Croatia

These activities require creativity and work equally, are very interesting

Serena, (TV), Italy

2017-02-11 09:10:07 UTC

Very clear and exhaustive. However my young pupils of the first year of Primary school need an accurate guidance in performing these activities......and me too!!!!

Fausto, Italy

2017-02-11 11:49:54 UTC

Very good example. Even more difficult to realise in some context, but feasible to a certain extent.

Šárka

sarka_opatova — 2017-02-11 14:35:58 UTC

It looks quite complex and usable for a longer-term projects. But with a common sense every teacher can get inspired and create his own learning story using the above suggested activities to the extent the time and circumstances allow.
I definitely like the mind maps as it makes students think better and in a more critical and effective way.

Luigi Alterani, Italy

Italianteacher — 2017-02-11 15:24:22 UTC

tonia_calo — 2017-02-11 17:40:48 UTC

I think that the Learning activities are flexible tools that can be easly used to adapt and balance them on our school learning needs,This Learning Story is a clear example about how LAcan be used in practice

Simona Costaru, Romania

Interesting, creative, collaborative, innovative ... a new vision of teaching and learning.

Andrea Marri, Italy

2017-02-11 19:35:27 UTC

Learning Stories seem ex post Learning Activities.

Cristina Antal - Romania

2017-02-12 06:32:57 UTC

A well planed action is a successful one! The learning activities involve a lot of collaboration betweel students and betweeh teachers in different subjects. A little bit difficult in our case because our teachers are specialized on only one subject - exemple:math, biology, geography... but not on science, human sciences...

Elisabetta Nepa

classedieli — 2017-02-12 06:56:03 UTC

Last year I had available some technological tools of the parents of my students, and I also used the BYOD, pupils realizzavano digital artifacts and sharing them online. In the end we collected all the experiences. Unfortunately ended the cycle I have nothing left, the Italian school does not guarantee all pupils the same opportunities, we are leading schools and schools that are left to chalk and slate blackboard.

I'm currently participating in an eTwinning project and one of the tasks was to prepare a film. I've have used some of the ideas suggested above but now I have studied the mentioned steps I will be able to oraganise a similar task in the future in a much better way.

Maria Grazia Licandro Italy

mglicandro — 2017-02-12 10:35:17 UTC

I saw the video and a detailed description of sequences of learning activities. I realized that I made with my students more or less the same activities without catalog them at various stages as it should have done. This year I introduced my students to third primary school classroom use of the tablet and BYOD, as they use their own devices. I was presented with a video the activities to do, I described in detail the steps to install the App ScratchJr. I explained and showed the commands and functionality of the program. I set up the working groups for collaboration at the creation of the sequences of a story. Now the next step is to show the sequences of the various groups at the whole class, suggest changes and improvements, merge the sequences to create a single story.

Moving this experience to the stage of children deserves mcho to the work by projects. Where starting from a topic of interest, we work the curricular contents established in a constructive and participative way. From a process of information search, reflection and shared work ... Getting to create a final product enriched by all the contributions and learning experiences.

Very interesting but also very demanding. No problem about asking the students to work together for investigation and creation of the multimedia product. The difficulty for the teacher is about scaffolding, monitoring and assessing the work. I think we have to make attempts and learn step by step.

It seems very interesting and systematic, but it needs a lot of time , and intellectual activities...

Learning activities can be easily adapted and used to our own learning needs because they are a subject-independent activities that support the realization of a learning scenario. II think a learning story is very similar to a project-based learning design. A learning story is very useful to design a collaborative project with other partners in a different school too.

Teachers of the same school need time to organize and to put in practice correctly and this sometimes it is difficult if we consider the curriculum and teachers and students timetable.

We can do it ;)
Of course, learning activities must be adapted to our learning context -students'age - and the teacher's guide and support have to be more extensive or less - but any possible learning scenario should be grounded on a number of feasible activities.

The steps presented are very pertinent and useful for the design of our learning storie. However, the assesment - perhaps because it is the most 'unpleasant' part of the process (?) - is only referred  in the first stage ("Dream")  as the negotiation of the assesment criteria between teacher and students. 
Since evaluation is an important moment in the teaching-learning process, should it not also be considered as one specific step?

This learning activities are clear and similar to project-based leaning. What surprised me is the reflection in each activities. It's a very important step for student's development and I need to more practise reflection in my lessons.

The learning activities of this module are really challenging, more or less I have realised them in eTwinning projects. But now I have a good understanding of how to organise my work in a more structured form. Also I have a question how to realise all this on school level as it's not easy to convince other teachers to cooperate and start changing traditional teachingpractice together.

I like the idea to allow children to learn in "This group activity allows students to develop interpersonal skills through collaboration among peers, the exercise of criticism and the use of audio-visual teaching aids (eg. TeamUp). Teachers can use this activity to students working in groups that do not normally interact with each other, thus developing greater cohesion in the classroom.

I believe all the given information is very useful. It explains you how to design this mind process step by step. In my honest opinion, as a teacher you could do it by your own in the classroom, but I really guess that these proposals need collaborative teachers work too. Teachers need to work in group because they need to share, show and think together about how to design all the challenges objectives for their students.

Both the video and the examples are very clear and detailed. In particular I have really appreciated THE CONTEXTUALIZED LEARNING ACTIVITIES. I have been trying to put into practice the strategies of the Learning Scenario since I met this new concept in another course of the EUN. The only problem I had to cope with was the TIME. These activities are all time-consuming, but I think they are really pedagogically worthwhile.

M. Elif Dönertaş, Turkey

The learning activities are almost like tools to use in your narrative. They are very detailed and the correct adaptation of them clearly results in well prepared learning story.

A nice way to present the activities and probably students will feel attracted by them.

To understand the concept of learning history is easier if we have a concrete example. It shows a challenge as it requires a lot of time, preparation phase and the production phase. In addition, good collaboration between students and teachers will be necessary at the same time (difficult task).

Maria Antonietta Italy

I teach in the primary school. I'm interested in any form of inclusive and creative teaching. I am a member of eTwinning and I try to participate in webinar commitment which could improve my teaching. I watched the video and I read the various steps. I try to organize group work, I try to encourage learning by doing, I try to use the technologies. Reflecting I can conclude that implement fully what is proposed, it is very difficult in primary school. You should be organized: 1) more refresher courses in sedi.2) a conscious collaboration 3) to re-programming. 4) have more time. 5) appropriate multimedia classrooms. In primary schools there are underage, young children, it is not so sure in the filming. In addition, many people do not trust to give children small also expensive technological tools

condomittir — 2017-02-25 16:10:19 UTC

The parts that I have preferred of this presentation and that, according to me, describe at the best the necessary work spirit in the school are:
- You inspire the students by providing them with the motivation for giving their best and by telling them about the ownership and freedom over the task.

- The students slowly build a shared collection of ways to tackle challenges, which can be used after the project ended.

Gabriella, Italy

gabriellacolucci3 — 2017-02-26 18:33:01 UTC

The presented activities are all very valid. I thought especially on "Reflect" because often we take time for reflection for our students. Metacognition is crucial to see their progress in learning and reflect on critical issues.
