Innovative experiences

Checking the projects and resources in the MOOC list.ly, I have found some interesting projects that fits my needs:
1. Science Project - ITEC. In this projects, students prepare their own material to teach and learn scientific concepts, and this material is shared to others students. This could be a good idea to engage students.

2. NANOYOU (Nano for Youth). This project tries to bring nanotechnology closer to youth. It offers severals resources that can help to teach some scientific concepts and, at the same time, it can show the students the challenges of this new discipline.

3. Science Kids. Here you can find some interesting games, experiments, videos... of different scientific fields that allow you to engage young students. Some of the material is perfect to perform at home.

It would be perfect to find a way to combine all this, but I find it difficult when you have to follow a close curriculum that doesn't let you much "free" time to test new things.

On the other hand, I have tested some projects in the classroom, and the results have been not too bad. Most of the students enjoy with innovative ideas.

I have proved with my students:

Go-Lab. (now renamed as Next-Lab). Offers a lot of virtual / online labs and there are a lot of activities already prepared to use with students.

Engage (Engaging Science). Offers a lot of resources to deal with different interesting issues. It try to make students talk about scientific items, and they are really attracted by this subjects.

I hope to find colleagues that could explain me their own experiences.

A collaborative activity

Imatge
First of all, I have updated my draft with the feedback of my colleagues. I know that this way of presentation is not the best, I would like to change it, but for now I don't have enough time, as most of my colleagues, since we are starting the end of our school year. https://cacoo.com/diagrams/xAIZHX5bAWY4xd8r And now, I would like to explain to you one of the collaborative activities that I would like to include in my project. In this case, I would describe the final activity. It will consist in an ebook where the students collect all the recipes generated in the previous part of the project. How it will work? The previous part of the project has been realised with groups of students from the same school, in order to choose one typical recipe from their country and share to the others students. The final activity will be developed by groups of students formed by mixed students from the different schools, for example, if there are 2 schools implicated, the group will b...

Starting Open eTwinning INTEF 2017

It just started yesterday, but I already can say that this MOOC seems to be really interesting and useful. For a long time I have heard about eTwinning, its projects and collaborations, how it can help to engage students and open their minds to other cultures. But I haven't had the chance to involve my self till now. For the time being, I have learnt about some ICT tools as www.powtoon.com and www.pixton.com . Here I leave you my presentation made by powtoon. Last but not least, I have seen that I'm not the only one with no experience in eTwinning, there are other mates in the same situation, and the most important thing that we have in common is that we are really keen on learning and helping each other.
