FLIPPED CLASSROOM AND MOBILE LEARNING

"Flipped classroom and mobile learning: school is on" is the project our school is currently working on.
The project has been funded by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo and it is the winner of the Educational Innovation Competition 2012.
The duration of the project will be two years ( September 2012 - September 2014 ) and we've just gone through the training phase. Next step will be the design phase wich will be followed by the operational stage involving the construction of learning objects - created by both teachers and students - to be published on an online platform.
In the meanwhile I' m experimenting in my classes in a situation of "one ipad only" ( mine ), one IWB, some laptops and WI-FI connection covering the whole school. My students and I have been testing apps, trying activities and running through content in a different and new way.
Students will be given ipads ( 1 to 1 ) at the beginning of the next school year. Up to then I'll keep record of our work by posting the most meaningful results here.
Here you can wach a presentation of the project.

INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY: third year exam

This post is dedicated to III A and III E students.
You can listen to the texts related to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.
For the oral exam - conversation phase - you should practise answering the questions. I suggest you listen to a question, pause the audioboo, answer using at least 3 sentences, and then move on to the next one.

INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY: "Create your own path"- mixed ability classes

The main problem in a mixed ability class is that it is quite difficult to give each student what he needs and you get the feeling that nobody is working at his own pace. This is a profile of a mixed-ability class, as it is perceived by the students themselves.

 The project "Create your own path" has two main objectives:
- to provide students with a wide variety of activities
- to give them the possibility of being assessed in an alternative way.
