LITTLE MOON

This PP belongs to a project I have created for a course, where working reading and artistic skills. It couldn't be possible without helping of Clara and Javier, both teachers that gave their time for free as part of this project. It was started as a part of my summer course in Valencia called 'Leer en la educación primaria' created by UNED (distance university of Spain) and belonging to leer.es webpage projects. Thanks again to those teachers who give their time and care to create this fabulouse experience to my students. Short description: Adults students from CEIP Francesc Bosch i Morata (Xàtiva-Valencia) working together the Primary students from CEIP Toscal-Longuera (Tenerife). Is a reading project which made words fly from one school to another several times, touching our hearts and our minds. Historias de vida View more presentations from PILARtheMOON .

Before watching this video sit-down and open your mind to a new kind of academy concept. This is Ron Clark Academy , full of energy teachers and technology-minded children . If you like this idea you'd love it, if you don't you'd be bored. I personally agree with part of the phylosophy and I think It would be great having people like this in current education. If you want you can set up part of this energy into your classroom and enjoy it!

Something is changing in the world. And when crisis time is already here, big countries invest on one of the most important points in the development of a Nation, which is EDUCATION. Have a look at the Discourse of the Prime Minister about: FREE SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND and then feel free to reflect on how your country is doing it...you'll probably be disappointed if you're Spanish.

I was looking for an easy way to explain what PROJECT BASED LEARNING is and then, one of my twitter 'explorers', this is what they are in some way for me (people who helps me to find out interesting things about education) twittered an interesting YouTube video which was presented like this: ' The Buck Institute for Education commissioned the cutting-edge advertising agency, Common Craft, to create a short animated video that explains in clear language the essential elements of Project Based Learning (PBL)'. And I thought 'sounds great! somebody's paid others to do what I was looking for!'. So here you have, for you and for my students...click on it! PD: Thanks to my twittermates ;)))

I want to share with you one of my favourite web pages EDUTOPIA. We can celebrate their 20th Anniversary by exploring it in detail because it has lot of interesting information for teachers and professors. Following these foundation you can not only give some pieces of advice like Ten tips for classroom management but also you can find books, activities, community discussions with peers, etc. Look at this popular video about Project-Based Learning: An Overview

This is a great resource for teachers and investigators who want to learn more about education and science. I would like to share with you the link and some of the more interesting videos in my opinion. You can follow this broadcasting programme on the net or on tv2 on Sundays afternoon. http://www.redesparalaciencia.com To read: Linda Lantieri - Aprendizaje social y emocional To listen: http://www.sciencenetworks.org/

A reflection that education has changed without asking is that I am writing now in a blog about education and other people are doing the same each second passed. Not only teachers and professors but also students and teenagers. This month I have discovered a very useful blog I can't leave to speak about. It's Professor Baker's blog and if you click it now it links you with a very interesting post about WHY teachers have to share. It has great ideas about it!
