3rd week

Welcome again :) !!
In week 3 we have learnt what a reflective teacher means. And… how do we become that?
For being a reflective teacher you have to observe and also evaluate our way of teaching on a regular basis and then ending with accountability.
The process in order to give a feedback and more reflections is :

What´s more, one of the main materials that can help to reflect is to have a teaching diary. With this  we can write what the day is going, as this example :

From: https://fairydustteaching.com/2012/02/reflective-teaching-free-journal/

Furthermore, the teaching diary have to contain lesson objectives, activities and materials and classroom management.
Finally, we´ve read theories that shaped teaching and we´ve done a conceptual map with the main ideas of each one. Then, our classmates presented their works of Montessori , Rousseau, Vygotsky, Dewey, Pestalozzi and Froebel in class on Thursday 17. However ,  we´ve enjoyed doing this activity because we can learn and study clearly at the same time!!

This is our conceptual map !

 
Enjoy,

2nd week

Week 2
In the 2nd week we started to explain in groups how can we be an effective teacher, which is something that the first  unit of Educational Planning contains . For us, the method used: explaining to each other different parts of the theme is a great way to save time because we don´t spend a lot of time reading and understanding each page.
What´s more, we found  a funny video that add to what we were reading new factors that are important too. As sharing is the art of living we´re going to post it!

To conclude this week, after searching and reading more information, we think that as the book has mentioned: the most important factor to be an effective teacher is to be ENTHUSIASTIC about what you´re teaching because you can encourage your students more effectively!

Have a great day :)

1st week

We are a group of 4 people whose name is On Wheels and our intention is to post a weekly summary of our progresses in Educational Planning.

Firstly, during this week we have watched a video in which we saw a father with his young son living in a monotonous and routine world. This child was a creative person and he loved artistic things such as drawing or music. Nevertheless, the world where he lived did not allow this creativity and his father wanted him to focus on his studies. This caused sadness in the child so his father decided to break the rules and satisfy his son despite not following in the footsteps of the rest of society. This story shows us a society that only aspires to study and work and makes us reflect on our real world.

Another activity has been to create these groups for class excercises. We will have to cooperate with our classmates in order to realice tasks that will teach us new skills.
