Reflection on the course

In think this course has been more than I expected. I have learnt many aplications and at the same time I have reflected on how to implement them in my everyday life and in my courses. I found everything very interesting, starting from the teacher who has infinite tools hidden in his sleeve just like a magician! Everything I learnt it will be useful to make my lessons funny, interesting, appealing,  creative and full of ICT tools that students can discover.

Formative assessment in Catalunya

Assessment must be based on Reliability and Validity.

Rubrics represent an objective way to assess students since they have since the very beginning what are they going to be assessed and what do they need to do to achieve the excellent or the expert level in a task.

However, a black side of the rubrics is that they are difficult to be implemented for everyone because usually in every class there are several cases of diversity and special needs students so one single rubric often doesn't fit for every activity or group class.

Anyway, here are some resources and links to help teachers assess in an objective and transparent way.

When creating rubrics, it is better if the excellent column is the first one!

VR - Virtual Reality - Google Expeditions

There's a good application to visit several places without going outside school.

This is Google Expeditions that can be downloaded on all smartphones, and used with virtual reality goggles.

Among the 200 expeditions availabe, I choose 5:

1. Visit 7 new wonders of the world, to work global citizenship and culture.
2. A Dickens Christmas, to work on literacy competence and future, present and past tenses.
3. A first look at the College, to practice school parts, material, and routines.
4. A walk through the Museo Nacional de Guadarrama, in case of AICLE lesson together with biology subject.
5. Ancient Egypt, together with Geography and History subject. What a nice way to see how are different places on Earth without the inconveniences of travelling.



Augmented Reality

Some of the applications to practise and create with AR are:

Quiver Vision
Blippar
HP Reveal

My fellow teachers can use AR to create multidisciplinary projects and in an appealing and innovative way.
Here is an example of trigger that can be scanned and make it reveal what the creator has related to it.
