TEACHING@HOME DURING CORONAVIRUS

Interactions with students

I tried to build interactions with my students that were not based on the simple sending of teaching materials, the assignment of tasks or the correction of papers, but on continuous dialogue, on constant feedback.

In this regard, I have often used e-mail to exchange notices or short messages, asking representatives to act as intermediaries and I have also created a virtual bulletin board with Padlet

Use of the Class Agenda

I marked the planned activities on the Agenda:

live video lessons (date and time)

real-time performance of tasks and exercises

the terms for the delivery of essays and the study of topics

viewing of recorded video lessons

Activities

preparation of materials

organization of the online learning environment

correction of essays

live or recorded video lessons

I aimed above all at creating products (doing exercises, drafting written papers, making presentations or video reports, etc.) rather than simply assimilating content, to keep students' interest and participation alive

Online learning environment

To make live video lessons I used Zoom, because it allows you to show your computer screen (presentations, texts, exercises, etc.)

To share materials and assign tasks to be carried out, I used my saponar.blogspot.com site and the Electronic Register

The evaluation of the work done

The assessments of the work done by students in this period are to be considered formative and not summative, as the conditions in which the students are operating are different and do not allow fair judgment.

However, I have constantly provided feedback to the students on the quality of the work done

The learning demonstrated in this period, as well as the commitment and sense of responsibility, punctuality in deliveries, participation in the educational dialogue, will be elements of judgment in the final assessment of each student's educational path.

Feeling inspired as I've just got my Flipped Learning Level 2 Certification

Feeling inspired as I've just got my Flipped Learning Level 2 Certification.

The course was informative and insightful. Topics of the course included:

Flipped Mastery, Gamification,  In-Class Flip, Re-imagined Learning Spaces, First Person Narrative, Project-Based Learning, Socratic Seminars, Peer Instruction, Genius Hour.

Now I'm ready to take up the challenge offered at the end of the course: going deeper with flipped learning strategies in my classroom in a variety of ways, for example, using flipped project-based learning and flipped mastery class.

Promoting Apple technology expertise and the flipped classroom approach among fellow teachers

iPad changes the way teachers teach and students learn. With the wealth of new features in iOS 11, students can increase their productivity and efficiency. I offered examples of workflows and uses of these new features from my own classroom.

Learning is personal for students. How can we make it more accessible for all learners? Powerful assistive features are built into iPad to complement vision, hearing, motor skills, and literacy. I  guided my colleagues through hands-on activities to enable individualized learning opportunities for students. 

In these meetings we also discussed innovative learning

approaches including:

  • Competency-based Learning, an approach that allows to advance, based on mastery of a content provided by the educator.

• Blended Learning, an approach known for extensive use of technology that enables flexibility in time, pace, and place.

  • Student-centered Learning, an approach that addresses distinct needs, interests and aspirations of students.

   • Personalized Learning, an approach that individualizes learning for every student based on particular interests, needs, interests, goals, and strengths.

  • Deeper Learning, an approach that focuses on fostering effective communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration in the classroom.

As Apple Distinguished Educator, I attended the ADE Academy (international Conference), Amsterdam 12-15 July 2017

Flipped summer reading

In this brand-new title by Jon Bergmann, we learn about the transformation of Homework within the context of Flipped Learning.

Teachers view homework as an opportunity for students to continue learning after the bell rings. For many students, it's often just the dreaded “H” word. How can educators change the way students view homework while ensuring that they still benefit from the additional learning it provides? It's easy. Flip the learning! In Solving the Homework Problem by Flipping the Learning, Jonathan Bergmann, the co-founder of the flipped learning concept, shows you how. The book outlines why traditional homework causes dread and frustration for students, how flipped learning—completing the harder or more analytical aspects of learning in class as opposed to having students do it on their own—improves student learning, and how teachers can create flipped assignments that both engage students and advance student learning.

You can get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Solving-Homework-Problem-Flipping-Learning-ebook/dp/B06Y6FQYV2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495768959&sr=8-1&keywords=solving+the+homework+problem+by+flipping+the+learning
