Along your student career a person could learn different study techniques depending on the degree or level. But the most important to know is to adapt what works to you individually to the different circumstances and moments in your life. That's why there are thousands of techniques.

SCHOOL KILLS CREATIVITY?

In this famous video we can reflect on our classes if creativity takes part in our schools or not. It is a very important question specially because we are working with children. So, in my opinion every teacher should have thought it over fully. I show you, my dear reader, that I try every year to improve my classes, my pedagogy and my skills as a teacher. But, Do you know how to start? Well I can help you with the beggining: - Tell other teachers about your intentions and aims, if you show your mind to them may be they collaborate. - Start looking for events or courses where you can keep in touch with people who have the same interests as you. I recommend some on my twitter @PILARtheMOON - Don't give up! Try to mantain yourself positive and share your experiences. Even if you are not right you are improving more than someone who is doing nothing. Let me know about your results. ;-)))

I'm studying this month an on-line course coordinated by Teresa Pozo (CEFIRE) and I would share this interesting video about teaching emotions.

He said yes, It will improve our skills? We don’t know yet, but some studies said we are interested in improving our social relations and that’s a wonderful thing. Full video:
