My LEC 2017
A few days ago the much expected Lincoln Educational Conferences finally took place. I attended the LEC for the first time last year, 2016, and was thrilled. A completely different approach to education to what I am used to. Being able to interact with the colleagues from Lincoln School and other schools was incredibly exciting […]
Screencasting in class
After completing the short course offered by Amplifieducation, I decided to make my first try with my very own screencasts. As told in a previous post, the biological aspects of sexual education have been traditionally the highlight of this unit, but far away from being the most significant. Sexuality means so much more than anatomy, […]
Screencast en acción
Hoy estrené mis screencasts. Grabé 5 videos de alrededor de 10 min sobre Female reproductive system, male reproductive system, ovulatory cycle, fertilization y pregnancy & birth.(CANAL DE YOUTUBE) Es una unidad que me resultaba terriblemente tediosa ya que era un powerpoint muy largo que me llevaba varias clases y encima tenía que repetirlo en 5 […]
Visible Thinking Routines: QFT, research, headlines and CSI at Environmental Ed
My students at the 12th are working on environmental disasters since two weeks. The steps I decided to use were the following: Starter of the project having students making their own questions about the disaster they chose, following QFT (Question Formulation Technique (for more info about this interesting inquiry routine, follow […]
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 […]
Documenting using twitter
La semana pasada publiquéen el blog de ADS un desafío para los chicos: the plastic challenge. Les pedí que elijan una propuesta de reducciónde plástico en sus vidas cotidianas. Hoy extendí la tarea, les pedí que documenten las acciones que demuestren la reduccion en uso de plástico via twitter bajo #nomoreplastic, #adsgoethe2017 Esto resultó extraño […]
Blue challenge
Lo logré. Me acordé a la mañana viendo el platito de mi desayuno y decidí que era EL DÍA! Observé muchísimo y registré bastante (admito que no todo!). Qué práctico es tener un celular a mano para documentar. Les comparto mi pic collage: PASO A RELATAR LAS IMÁGENES: Alumnas de 6A, con su buzo 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 […]
