Project eTwinning 2a - Padlet brainstorming

Door Froukje Henstra -
In week 2 of the Open eTwinning MOOC we were challenged to analyse our own teaching practice. What would we like to improve? What new things do we want to try? What is not going well?

The brainstorming was collected on this padlet board:



My addition was:

1. What can I improve?
I would like to make my lessons more engaging and be able to let go of the set textbooks more often and use my own material instead or as supplement. I would like to use more collaborative learning and more learner autonomy.
2. What would I like to try?
I would like to try to design and participate in an etwinning project, focusing on oral fluency and intercultural competency. 
3. What am I not happy with?
I'm not happy with the way my students are turning into consumers. They expect me to do the learning for them and are not motivated to learn. Many of them don't have a growth mindset.
4. Is there anything which is not working?
When browsing the projects I saw many projects with a long running time, and also many projects that stretch over several subjects. Those are not practical for me, I'm looking for small projects, centering on the use of English in word and text, and perhaps cultural elements.

Toolbox 2 - Projects and tools

Door Froukje Henstra -
This is another list of tools and projects that are interesting for eTwinning and teaching in general. Again, it belongs to the eTwinning MOOC, but I would like to keep it on here as well, for reference. I'm going to add Screencastify as a tool myself, it's a tool that helps you create flipped lessons, for instance. Enjoy the list, lots of interesting things there and it's still growing!

I am unstoppable. Or crazy. Or a bit of both, I guess... Today I joined another MOOC, on Futurelearn, from the British Film Institute and Into Film. It's on how to use film to improve literacy in the English classroom. You can find it here:  https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/teaching-literacy-through-film I'm excited about how this course will provide tools for me to use in the classroom. I've always used film with assignments to motivate my pupils more and to create enjoyable lessons, but this course brings theory and practice together. Please check out the great resources on Into Film as wel!  https://www.intofilm.org/resources

De komende weken staat dit blog in het teken van digitale didactiek.  Vandaag deel 2:  Samenwerkend leren ! In de tweede proeverij op de werkconferentie digitale didactiek van Leerling2020 (bij Sander van Acht van Flooow ) ervaren we als lijdend voorwerp diverse digitale tools waarmee samenwerkend leren bevorderd kan worden. Een paar hiervan kende ik al, maar het was leuk om het eens zelf te beleven als deelnemer: daarmee doe je toch weer nieuwe inspiratie op voor gebruik. Andere besproken tools waren helemaal nieuw voor me! Sander begon met het nog eens herhalen van de principes van samenwerkend leren. Het is altijd goed om dat nog even op te halen! Ik maakte met Canva heel makkelijk een infographic (klik voor vergroting). Quizlet Daarna liet hij ons drie tools ervaren. De eerste daarvan kende ik al:  Quizlet . Quizlet is gratis, maar met een betaald docentenaccount heb je meer inzicht in wat je leerlingen doen. Dit kost 2,92 per maand (of 27,99 per jaar). I...
