Looking back 2019 I've come up with a roundup of what's been the best post of my blog The Digital Teacher G-Souto

As I do during the first days in January every year, I am taking some time off to relax with family and prepare for the new year. Yes! We will have the Three Kings Festive Day on the 6 January. Not so important as in Spain, but important. It's the end of the Feast of Epiphany.







Below you’ll find the top posts along the first semester 2019 containing different themes: education & technology, apps, languages, arts, science, history, environment, literature, e-safety, bullying, sports, dance, children's rights among other.


The selection is based on page views but also based on pedagogical relevance of the most-read posts.

I kept the order of the most viewed, but eliminated the posts that seemed less relevant. The main reason? Sometimes some posts acquire too much visibility, not for their value but for the keywords that the search engines "like" indexing.

Je vous en remercie, chers enseignants, chers lecteurs, de votre intérêt et m’efforce d’être toujours au plus proche d'événements concernant des idées pédagogiques afin de vous présenter des ressources et outils pédagogiques, au numérique ou pas. Les technologies donnent aux jeunes étudiants et à leurs professeurs des possibilités qu'il faut en profiter en les utilisant dans les cours.

Des grandes thématiques: histoire, langues, science, cyber-bullying, culture, littérature, films, applis, sport, théâtre, arts, environnement

Des ressources en ligne, et des adaptations personnelles à l'enseignement de façon à permettre à tous les élèves la réussite dans leur parcours scolaire.

My tribute of the #1st semester 2019?  Women in STEM : Katie Bouman & the Black Hole ! 

An international team of over 200 astronomers, including scientists from MIT’s Haystack Observatory, has captured the first direct images of a black hole. They accomplished this remarkable feat by coordinating the power of eight major radio observatories on four continents, to work together as a virtual, Earth-sized telescope.

Behind every scientific discovery, big or small, is the story of those who dedicate their lives to discovery. This time, a young female assistant professor is leading the charge. Katie Bouman, a young scientist, 29 years-old, professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences who created the algorithm that that led to the production of the first-ever image of a black holepermitted taking the photography.


As a woman, I felt proud to know about her research focuses on computational imaging, designing systems that tightly integrate algorithm and sensor design, making it possible to observe phenomena previously difficult or impossible to measure with traditional approaches. 

Congratulations Dr. Katie Bouman ! She could finally told her family about the picture!


Hoping to have inspired you in your lessons all over the year.

May 2020 be a successful year for all those teachers who teach with passion! Guiding our students to the future should be a mission from the heart!
