FUTURE CLASSROOMCREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
STARTING POINTIES Las Banderas is a Bilingual school belonging to the ICT schools net in Andalucía. This ICT project implies the use of ICT resources in our daily labour and takes advantage of them in our lessons. It encourages student cooperation and the learning process is more active. Students can get a fast feedback and it emphasizes time on task. And one of the most important aspects is that it respects the diverse talents and ways of learning.
DIGITAL BOARDS
We have got digital boards in our
classrooms.
Teachers use the whiteboards as a
way to project their lessons. We use
digital books, provided by the editorials
but we usually create our own materials
(didactic units, presentations…)
.
DIGITAL BOARDS
Students use them to make
oral presentations of their projects.
In this way they reinforce their
speaking skill.
It’s very positive because they
know that their projects are going
to be seen by their partners and
they do their best
We usually give our students
homework through email and they
send it back to us by mail too. It’s a
new concept.They are used to this
new way of communication and
interaction with their teachers.
GOOGLE DRIVEWe encourage our students to use
it. For example, they create their own files in Drive where they can store all their projects of every subject. In this way they realize the concept of the ‘cloud’. They can also revise their projects and see their improvement.
All the teachers at our school share information through Google Drive: information about students, activities, ....
TABLETS
Since last year, all the teachers use a
tablet ( given by the school) to facilitate
the use of the Seneca Portal: it’s a virtual
portal made by the Junta de Andalucía
and in it we can find all the data of our
students.
E-PORTFOLIOFrom the conviction that language
students must take responsibility for
their own learning and be as active as
possible in setting objectives and
working to achieve them, they build an
E-Portfolio using Drive where they store
all their projects. In this way they can
see their improvement in the
acquisition of the second language.
ICT ROOMS
We’ve got 3 ICT rooms
where students use to go at least
once a week in every subject to
work with computers, using
different resources . They use
Internet to look for information,
and prepare their projects and
presentations with the help of
the teacher.
CLILIt’s the methodology we use
through which we try to integrate content and language learning. With this methodology every teacher in their subject (Maths, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Art, P.E...) explains the contents of the subject in the second language (English). The students are getting a double information: the contents of the subject itself and at the same time they are using the L2 so they improve in the use of the the second language. Each teacher creates its own material using this methodology.
BLOGSWe have two blogs in our school:
www.elblogdelasbanderas.blogspot.com
www.bibliobanderas.blogspot.com
OTHER TOOLSTeachers use different resources to
make our work more dynamic and
attractive to students and try to
update with the new technologies.
We usually use different
applications such as: Prezi, Powtoon,
Zoho Creations, Discuto,
Symbaloo….
COOPERATIVE LEARNINGIt consists on a classroom organization where students work in groups or teams to help each other learn.They also make use of ICT tools such as computers to seek for the information required by the teacher.It reinforces student’s autonomy and self-confidence and they work their social competence.
HALL EXPOSITIONSIt’s very important for us to show our students’ work. For that reason we take their works out of the classroom and use them as an important material to organize expositions in the hall. All the Educative Community (teachers, parents, staff…) can see and enjoy with them.Of course,we also make use of the ICT in this section as these expositions are supported by two screens we’ve got in the hall, which are used to present information relative to the main topic of the exposition (European Languages Day, Halloween, Christmas, Peace Day, Women’s Day….)
TO SUM UP...Society and its habits have changed and consequently education has also changed.If the main goal of a teacher is to be able to attract the students’ attention, in this new era this is only possible with the introduction of ICT tools in the classroom.Now the challenge is to use them with CREATIVITY and INNOVATION.
