                            Resultado de imagen de tablet

Salesianas is a catholic school where we can found children from 3 years to 18 years old. This chool has three buildings where are the classes, music rooms and the laboratory, a theater and a sports hall. They have multiple projects as an english project and a science club.

The most interesting project is the Technological project, which is closely related with the cooperative learning and learning based in the experiences. The objectives they want to achieve with  this "tablets project" are:  helping the students to generate their own knoledge and make them develope all de habilities related with the multiple intelligences.

The students that have taken part of this project are the students from fifth grade onwards. They have studyied the whole academic year with the tablets instead of paper books. They use Digital books, they are a tool that allows you to integrate the digitalized curriculum , from Edebé On, Oxford and Santillana. Also, in order to make this project work even better, they do not only use tablets but  also have computers and projectors in classrooms.

 The Google services suite is present in their classrooms facilitating: more interactive classes, forms more dynamic of imparting knowledge, performing cooperative work, communication between all members of the educational community. In addition they  use Web Applications which  encourage interactivity and participation, motivate and empower students, and allow a differentiation in their learning process.

After this project was implemented, some teachers and students agreed that students schow more interest in studying and investigating new tools to make good presentations. Also, the relationship between the students and the teacher has changed in a posittive way, because with the tablets has increased the feedback between both.

Finally, I think that this projects is quite interesting because t lets students explore, generate their own knoledge and increase not only their creativity but also their social skills. But, in the other hand, if they made a bad use of the technology the class will be a mess and will be even harder for the teachers. So, I truly believe that this project will bring bennefits to the students only if they make a good use of the technology.

LESSON 5: Classroom grouping models

Imagen
                               SUMMARY This lesson explains how students can be organized in class. There are multiple grouping models such as the graduated model or the multi- level system, and in this class we have lernt all of them and their individual features. BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING Before studying this lesson I believed that the graduated model and the heterogenous grups were the only criteria for grouping students. However, I know all the systems and models of grouping students. After I've studied this lesson I know that there are different types of students grouping, two perspectives (vertical and horizontal), and the diferences between them. In addition, I've lernt that there is a multi- level system where students can share the same space doing  curricular contents of different levels. One of the most difficult things about this lesson is to know if working on groups gi...

LESSON 3: Documents for Educational Management Institutions

Imagen
                              SUMMARY In the Lesson 3 we have studied the most important documents of the school centre. This documents are the Educational Project and the Annual General Programme. The educational Project is a document that among other things describes the organisation of the centre, and the Annual General Plan is a document inside the Educatnal Project that shows the school's planning, management and performance and also clarifies aspects included in the Educational Project. BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING Before this Lesson I knew nothing about this documents or schools documents in general. I knew that schools had some documents that pick up all the information about the centres' plans but I could not even  imagine their magnitude and their value. After studying, I consider that I know the most important traitsof the Annual General Programme and the Educational Project. For ...

PRACTICE 9

Imagen
                        BEFORE AND AFTER THE PRACTICE Before doing this practice I knew something about the association of mothers and fathers thanks to lesson 9, where we learned about the participation in the school. However, In this practice we have studyied deeply what is the AMPA, it's functions, regulations, advantages, disadvantages... After doing this activity I know that AMPA also forms part of the teacher board and I realized how many responsabilities they have, such as organizing all the school's events and school trips for students and making desicions with the director. The hardest thing for me to learn was the fact that we all know what the AMPA ia but half of the parents don't really know about the ampa's decisions or thoughts, so, now that I've done this practice I think that the representators of the AMPA should mantain a closest relationship with the rest of the parents to try to make them feel par...
