Hello.
I wasn't in the first session, but I am aware of the task and the importance of thinking 'outside the box' in order to come up with a nice and innovative idea for a business.
I am experiencing some health issues that with the time are affecting my mobility, and because of this, I am finding that the Online Teaching can be my door to the future!
During my 20 years of teaching in classrooms around the world now I feel that I have the adaptability to embrace my profession from a different setting.
In the past, have designed textbooks and learning units (teaching materials), Now I feel confident that I would do a nice job integrating ICT tools into learning environments to learn MFL.
Here in the UK unfortunately, learning a second language is a too exam/test-oriented experience. My first years teaching here were a disaster because I used to be extra creative when planning the schedules of learning in Colombia. Now I am designing learning units that are attached to the different exams that students do like Functional Skills (ESOL), Ascentis, Edexcel, CAE, and FCE.
I think that under this background I want to explore the creation and distribution of workshops or, hands-on units for teachers that need in their classroom the interactivity, design, fun, and joy. My idea is to share my knowledge in continuous development course for teachers.
Does it make sense?
I will appreciate your views!
Thank you.
I love your idea Carolina Rodriguez One of the reasons I want to get out of the school system here in Spain is because of the heavy focus on exams :-(
ReplyDeleteIn my view, it all perfectly makes sense Carolina. It seems to me that after some years knowing the trick of the trade we all need to move on, try a change and work other ways of doing what we enjoy. The point is how. It's so good to start thinking together! It really makes sense to me. Let's carry on!
ReplyDeletefor me sounds as music, Carolina Rodriguez. I have been for 4 years wanting to build my lessons for adult people that want to learn spanish and i don't dare to structure them, as i just made conversation until now, but i think that even conversation can be organized into levels and lessons. So this would be my target from now in advance. Always the same problem: levels of knowledge of spanish. Lets share all together our thoughts?
