USB , PC, digibooks, etc. and these useful links became the starting point of many lessons.This was not easy for me because I 'm not a "digital native", but my students were very patient!!At that point, the iPad entered my family life.  Both my husband and my sons  enthusiastically started using it as frequently as they could . I was envious of their  technological skills and at the same time I felt estranged.  I was however, very curious,  especially when I noticed that some of my colleagues were using the IPad in school, as a didactically essential tool.So step by step, I attended my first timid meetings with the "unknown tablet" and very quickly I became familiar with "him ".   He became my best friend. On the April 1,  2012 , a memorable day,  I was given  my own ipad.  My husband  bought the latest model and I inherited his old one.  It was a second hand tablet, butthis made no difference to me!   I didn't know how many gigabytes it had, nor even what a "giga" is, but thatwasn' t important;  I had become the owner of an Ipad. Immediately I realized that this powerful and magic object would change my life both personally and professionally. I had been given the most precious tool to accomplish my goals:  learning, teaching, communicating and sharing.I've been exploring education technology now for several months.   I still don' t know what my future holds, but one of my colleagues who I have dubbed "the advanced  one for excellence", persuaded me to open this BLOG . The only thing I am sure of is that the iPadwill help me organize my teaching materials andto become a better and more "up to date" teacher.  I ' m now confident that I will turn every endeavorinto a success.   I  promise!  zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133827213 2016-10-28 07:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133827213 LOW LEVEL OF COLLABORATION: zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133828885 Students from the 1st year of a Technological High School have been encouraged to produce in class a FAMILY TREE using their own devices according to BYOD in pairs.Then they have been asked to present their own LEARNING object in front of their schoolmates.

Before they started working in team, I got them to work on the following lesson plan

so they became familiar with this topic.
As usual they were asked to  comment on it while showing.  ]]> 2016-10-28 08:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133831609 zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133834461 3AL LESSON PLAN ICON]]> 2016-10-28 08:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/133834461 MODULE 2 The two learning activity objectives for Module 2 are:1.Understanding how to embed collaborative learning into lesson design2.Appreciating the four dimensions of collaborative learning concerning group work, shared responsibility, making substantive decisions, and interdependent work3.Understanding how the 21st Century Learning Design Collaboration Rubric and Learning Scenarios can help you reflect and design collaborative learning activities4.Assessing the two collaborative learning activities you described in Module 1, using the 21 CLD Rubric, and report in your Learning Diary zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134857884 2016-11-02 17:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134857884 The 4 Collaboration Questions refer to what is the quality of the collaboration:1.Are they working in group?2.

They are: Dream, Explore, Map, Make, Ask, Remake and Show. Dream students can brainstorm, think freely and share ideas.  Explore, students collect information on a certain topic.Map , students structure their thoughts and ideas and seek to understand how they are related. Make students develop or create a product or practise an activity. Ask  students  interview experts and stakeholders.Remake  students replan or revisit their product, on the basis of the feedback or further information they received.Show students publish and present the results of their work. zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134861323 2016-11-02 17:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134861323 dream explore map make ask remake show zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134863547 2016-11-02 17:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134863547 zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134868384 ASSESSMENT GRID OF LOW AND HIGH LEVEL GROUP WORK]]> 2016-11-02 17:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134868384 zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134872715 2016-11-02 17:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134872715 A BOARDING GAME : which team is the winner?  zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134875797 2016-11-02 17:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/134875797 zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/135112342 2016-11-03 15:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/135112342 MODULE THREE TEACHING AND LEARNING: A COLLABORATING SYSTEM:Collaboration between students is very important, but collaboration between teachers (although more difficult) is even more important. Etwinning gives the amazing opportunity to collaborate and my teaching practice has improved due to engagement and collaboration in eTwinning projects. The seven benefits of collaborative learning are very important, but the one I find more important is "development of 21st century skills" specially: leadership, teamwork, collaboration and cooperation. The challenge in my opinion is time management: cooperative learning requires more time.About digital tools I cannot immagine collaborative learning without ICT zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/138931567 2016-11-20 14:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/138931567 MODULE THREE WHAT'S a COLLABORATIVE learning system? zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/138932144 Students’ learning goals may be structured to promote cooperative, competitive, or individualistic efforts.  In every classroom, instructional activities are aimed at accomplishing goals and are conducted under a goal structure.  A learning goal is a desired future state of demonstrating competence or mastery in the subject area being studied.  The goal structure specifies the ways in which students will interact with each other and the teacher during the instructional session.  Each goal structure has its place (Johnson & Johnson, 1989, 1999).  In the ideal classroom, all students would learn how to work cooperatively with others, compete for fun and enjoyment, and work autonomously on their own.  The teacher decides which goal structure to implement within each lesson.  The most important goal structure, and the one that should be used the majority of the time in learning situations, is cooperation.]]> 2016-11-20 14:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/138932144 MODULE THREE LESSON PLAN:DAILY ROUTINES: after flipping my students with this lesson plan, I got them through the final project work( INTERVIEW) and I assessed their product with the following GRID zatram66 https://padlet.com/zatram66/xenouc4c5ja4/wish/138932493
