Sketchnoting students: surprising experience!
“Sketchnoting is a form of taking notes wherein the sketchnoter visually represents his or her thoughts and ideas”. This is how Silvia Tolisano begins her explanation of this strategy, very useful as a visual platform for Documenting as/for Learning (Chapter 8 of her brandnew book A Guide to Documenting for Learning: Making Thinking Visible, Meaningful, Shareable and Amplified).

Flipgrid
It’s been more than a month ago that I used this tool in my classroom, but I didn’want to miss the opportunity to document this experience. Flipgrid (http://Www.flipgrid.com) is a video discussion platform, a social network based on the popular concept of the “selfies”. I decided to give it a try with some of my classes. […]
GooseChase experience
In the middle of a moment of the year when I felt I was reaching my limit with innovation, shifting and creating exciting and meaningul moments full of productive learning, with a blank mind hoping for a jump in time that would take me to holidays, I decided to push myself a little further and […]
Project Based Learning-some challenges
Project-based learning has many challenges. One of the major problems I faced while having the students working very concentrated in groups with their netbooks, gathering information for the campaigns, was that I suddenly felt that they were loosing the focus, the objective, the intention of this activity. Some questions that come up during this […]
Health Ed Projects- working on community prevention and awareness-Part II
After my first blogpost documenting this project, I would like to document how I tried to have a close and fair follow up of the student´s work. Having 15-16 year olds working for many hours in groups with their netbooks and ipads is a challenge. I was realizing, that without close follow up and clear […]
Health Ed Projects- working on community prevention and awareness PART I
The idea of the following blogposts related to our health project at Goethe Schule is the documentation of a process that is entirely new for me in such a dimension. It ripped me out of my comfort zone, but I think it is worth it. This year, I decided to substitute the classical written examination […]
Visible thinking routine vs….
La intención de este post es documentar una estrategia que desarrollé en 4to año para la unidad “Immunity and Vaccines”. Inmunidad es un tema complejo, por el nivel de abstracción que requiere, porque tiene mucho background de biología que no siempre está tan fresco en los alumnos. Así es que decidí abordar el tema de […]
Todaysmeet: primera experiencia con alumnos
Hoy me animé a probar esta herramienta. La usamos en la capacitación de febrero y me pareció bastante sencilla de usar. Lo que más me atrajo fue – creo que lo dije en un post anterior- la posibilidad de darles voz a los que no la pueden usar tanto en otros contextos más orales. Posiblemente […]
Word cloud: una forma de visualizar el feedback de los alumnos
Ayer les di el programa de Health and Adolescence a los alumnos de 4to año. Siguieron con interés la lectura en voz alta del programa, hubo algunas dudas. Espontáneamente se me vino a la mente el tag cloud que hablamos en la capacitación y se me ocurrió pedirles un feedback anónimo a los chicos de […]
Health literacy- being a critical health surfer
Hoy comenzamos en 4C como first lesson a incursionar en las prácticas de distinción y filtro de la información disponible en internet cuando se trata de temas relacionados a la salud. Para diseñar la clase, me basé en la propuesta de Stacy Wallace (@healtheduteen), quien en las LEC2016 nos dio una clase sobre cómo […]
