Plickers & Kahoot

Después de escuchar a muchos docentes en activo y de poder comprobarlo en mi propia piel, puedo admitir algo que estaba bien claro sin siquiera investigarlo: la escuela necesita transformación.

Y no me refiero al tipo de centro en sí, que tal vez necesitase un reajuste, sino a las metodologías que los profesores llevan utilizando durante siglos y no se han decidido a abandonar. 

Hoy os traigo una novedad que os resultará muy interesante para trabajar en vuestras clases y que está a la orden del día, es decir, se ajusta a la escuela del siglo XXI. 

CLIL, una ayuda para la clase de inglés

En este post hablaremos del programa CLIL ya que se trata de una herramienta de la que nos podemos beneficiar los profesores de inglés y para la que se necesita la colaboración del departamento de lenguas de los centros que deciden utilizarla.

La clase invertida

Es cierto que hoy en día está muy en auge que se innove y se quiera intentar una gran variedad de nuevos formatos para la enseñanza, por esa razón desde que conocí el término Flipped Classroom me interesé por lo que este nuevo concepto conllevaba. Principalmente, ha de conocerse que lo más significativo de esta metodología es que cambiamos las tareas de clase de una manera que aprovechamos las horas en el aula para resolver problemas, dudas y poner en práctica todo aquello aprendido. 

Sugestopedia, una técnica diferente

¡Hola! Quería hablaros de un método de enseñanza del inglés que me parece interesante y creativo, y que quizás no es tan conocido como pueden ser el método directo o el método de traducción de gramática. Responde al nombre de Sugestopedia, y fue creado por el educador y psiquiatra búlgaro Georgi Lozanov.

Flipped Classroom

Hello there!

Today I want to show you a new teaching method to be taken at class. This technique is winning place in Europe and we worked on it in the past Comenius Week at Catholic University of Valencia. This is one innovator, active and enjoyable ICT resource.

This is called Flipped Classroom (FC). This term was said by two Chemistry teachers from Colorado that decided to promote a method for those students who have lost some lessons. 

In this board you can see a comparative between a traditional classroom timing and a flipped one.
