Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens

http://www.porto.ucp.pt/projectos/kidzlearn/

Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens FLE, une plateforme e-learning pour les cours de Français LE à distance (collège et lycée).

Ce projet m'a pris trois ans de recherche en dehors de mon travail au lycée. J’ai sondé les goûts et l’imagination de mes élèves qui aimaient me 'provoquer' en me faisant découvrir de nouveaux concepts pour les cours de langues.

Convaincue (2000) que l’apprentissage d’une langue allait désormais dépasser la salle de classe et deviendrait toujours plus ubiquitaire, d’autre part que la méthodologie du FLE devrait s’adapter à la "net-generation", et aux outils numériques, j'ai surpris mes élèves et j'ai créé ce projet pour  bien les motiver â apprendre le FrançaisLE par des activités numériques.

J'ai constaté que les ressources existantes proposées étaient loin de l’enseignement/apprentissage tel que je le concevais déjà à l'époque (ça fait dix ans), et j'ai alors décidé d'aprofondir  cette aventure pédagogique et de mener ensemble (ensignante/élèves) ce projet TICE & Langues.

L’une desobjectifs pédagogiques de ma créativité était l'adaptation de l’enseignement du français aux technologies, ainsi qu’aux nouvelles pratiques, suivant les nouveaux comportements des utilisateurs/étudiants : nomadisation de l’enseignement, autonomisation de l’apprenant qui a un rôle central dans son apprentissage qu’il prend en main. 

Plus de lieu ni d’horaire fixes, des contenus qui s’adaptaient et s'adaptent encore à l’apprenant avec les mises à jour qui pouvaient être ciblées pendant les cours.

www.google.com/

Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens va au-delà des formes traditionnelles de l’enseignement, en institution ou à distance. 

L’enseignement se personnalisait non seulement au niveau des contenus et des compétences, mais aussi des rythmes et des stratégies de chaque étudiant.

Ils sont libres, les jeunes, de choisir leur activité dans les cours de FrançaisLE ou extra cours, à la maison. 
Ils m’envoient par courriel les activités,  je les corrige par courriel ou par Messenger ou même en salle de chat (Moodle). Il y a une interaction toujours possible. A utiliser en ligne.

Le Dictionnaire Vivant de la Langue Française (DVLF) est une nouvelle manière de consulter le dictionnaire. 

Bien que les entrées de nombreux dictionnaires traditionnels y soient inclues,  il permet à partir d'un dispositif notre propre contribution, ajoutant nous-même nos propres définitions, nos exemples. 

Il réuni ainsi de nombreux exemples de phrases dans lesquels les mots recherchés sont utilisés, ce qui est utile pour voir de quelle manière l’utilisation d’un terme a pu évoluer à travers les siècles. 

En outre, dans les semaines et mois qui viennent, nous aurons la possibilité de noter et de critiquer les définitions et exemples, permettant au DVLF de montrer automatiquement la meilleure information possible en s’appuyant sur notre participation. 

Le DVLF existe pour nous donner un meilleur dictionnaire, un dictionnaire qui reflète la manière dont NOUS utilisons les mots.

Le DVLF a été réalisé par le ARTFL Project à l’Université de Chicago. Les principaux développeurs sont Tim Allen, Charles Cooney, Clovis Gladstone, et Russell Horton. Dictionnaire consultable en ligne

MAG des Usages | Magazine en ligne

http://www.infoeducation.fr/

Un iPad à l'école (Juin 2012) de Pascal Paul est un magazine des usages consultable en ligne uniquement consacré à l’utilisation de tablettes dans l’univers de l’éducation. 

Décrivant des pratiques pédagogiques exploitant les tablettes tactiles en classes de primaire et de maternelle, exemples de création de contenus à la clé, cette ressource constitue une source d’inspiration très intéressante pour les enseignants qui aiment bien exploiter les technologies en salle de classe.

On y trouve une large sélection d’applications et d’accessoires utiles pour exploiter pleinement les tablettes tactiles à des fins pédagogiques. 

Au menu, la réalisation d’une BD avec un iPad, des interviews d’enseignants, l’enregistrement de son avec un iPad, la conception d’un film d’animation, des activités graphiques et des infos pratiques. Magazine consultable en ligne.

François Muller | l'Etudiant

http://francois.muller.free.fr/

"Au plus trivial, hypermarchés et violences urbaines, « portables » et micro-ordinateurs en expansion, déplacements surmultipliés, rivalités des marques et  musique techno, instabilités familiales et troubles d’identités,  n’en font-ils foi ? ! Et que dire de la vitesse actuelle des découvertes scientifiques, exhumant le passé le plus lointain  et diversifiant les probabilités du Devenir ? Ou que faire avec la miniaturisation ou le gigantisme des objets et instruments technologiques qui nous empoignent autant que nous les manipulons ! Turbulences !" André Peretti, Préface (extrait) Un manuel de "survie" écrit par François Muller, salué par le Prix Louis Cros de l’Académie française en 2005, il est devenu un vademecum, pour les enseignants, débutants ou non.  Une banque de données pédagogiques conçue pour permettre aux enseignants de prendre le temps de l’analyse nécessaire à toute action avec et pour les élèves. À lire en ligne. Quelques pensées: "Innover" n’est pas le nouveau à tout prix.  C’est combiner, souvent chercher des alternatives quand on est confronté à un problème pendant un cours, quand on sent qu’il n’y a pas d’ajustement entre la motivation et les connaissances, entre ce que nous mettons à disposition de nos élèves et leurs résultats . Les chercheurs en éducation oeuvrant en milieu minoritaire de langue française effectuent des démarches de recherche créatives et variées pour mieux répondre aux besoins particuliers des étudiants.  Notre enthousiasme est essentiel pour la motivation de nos élèves dans une pédagogie en changement accéléré.

July: rundown of the most-read posts

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." 

Albert Einstein

The quote identifies the values of some of my pedagogical proposals introduced to my students in school curricula and shared with you throughout the years on this blog. 

I believe and practice the differentiation as a value too by focusing on individual identity of my students. They are free to be creative by discovering 'by and themselves' with my guidance, just the sufficient to let them more comfortable in their learning. I wrote about it on the differentt posts of my blog.

The classroom is an open window to the world. Students must feel free to talk  and share ideas about all the subjects they care about in and around every curriculum.

July rundown shows the diversity of subjects and some values of mine and summarize the most-read topics in a collection of six posts:

World Open Educational Resources Congress 2012 was the most-read post July for the best reasons.

"UNESCO believes that universal access to high quality education is key to the building of peace, sustainable social and economic development, and intercultural dialogue. Open Educational Resources (OER) provide a strategic opportunity to improve the quality of education as well as facilitate policy dialogue, knowledge sharing and capacity building."

The agenda was complete and full of wonderful key-speakers. Many of the speakers highlighted the ways in which OERs are being used to innovate and improve local communities.

Over 500 delegates including representatives of Government, educators, NGOs, and universities attended the Congress.

"By being adaptable and accessible, OERs have the potential to solve the global education crisis and contribute to sustainable economic growth - if governments are prepared to act."

For students, OERs offer free access to some of the world’s best resources, courses and even degree programs. They can also offer huge cost savings as alternatives to expensive textbooks.

As a "pioneer" educator in the use of OERs in curricula (Secondary Education) and an author that created some OERs for my students (in and out curriculum) to reach them the most (in and out the school) increasing their skills and competencies, motivating them to go further "in order to be effective workers and responsible citizens in the social-knowledge society of the 21st century".

Olympic Games 2012 began July 27 and will end August 12, during Summer season in Europe and some other continents.

In the United States and different countries, the students are coming back to school perhaps at the final part of the Games. They will be talking about their heros, the athletes in the different sports. 

Education: some ideas about London 2012 was written thinking about educators that are preparing their lessons. Educators can not lose Olympic Games, this wonderful experience! Such a great resource for different school curricula.

Here are couple of ideas and resources to investigate and share in your courses about London 2012. 

Sports curriculum, but also Sciences, Geography, Music or English Fiction were included in the post.

• Sciences: The Olympic Flame

How do you create the perfect flame? - An interesting question to start a Science course! 

Well, the Ontario Science Centre explored the technology behind the Olympic torches - past and present shown on the video below:

Wow! That is great! You can't miss this resource to explore the technology behind the OG flame! I am sure that your students will love it.

Enjoy and prepare your lessons! I am sure that you will have wonderful plans and your students will be learning easily the curriculum.

6h edition of the Global Junior Challenge 2012 is an international competition rewarding the most innovative projects for the Education of 21st century and the Social Inclusion.

The competition, promoted by the City of Rome and organized by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, is held every two years.

The Global Junior Challenge takes place within the context of Italian Digital Agenda and Europe 2020. More precisely, the aim of the Global Junior Challenge is to encourage young generations and their teachers to use of the new technologies, exchange experiences and emulate successful initiatives. 

Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens

(Gina Souto, Author)

To me GJC was an important moment of my life as an educator and author of Digital Open Resources for my students, in middle and secondary education.

In 2004, I participated at Global Junior Challenge with my educational project Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens.

Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens was a finalist project on the category up-to 15 years old.

The first online learning experience for the students used in formal and informal learning, completing the courses as a blended learning process.

The 6th edition of the Global Junior Challenge is an unique opportunity for teachers and students to reflect on the significance of digital literacy, whilst exposing them with to the vast range of high quality solutions proposed by other youth from around the world. 

Amelia Earhart

Education: Great women breaking gender barrier was about Amelia Earhart and Sally Ride, two women pioneers.

"Despite numerous improvements in women’s educational and employment outcomes, many countries have not achieved gender equality in economic opportunities and outcomes."

OCDE

115 years following her birth, Google was honouring the 150th birthday of the pioneering American aviator (and author) Amelia Earhart. Seventy five years after her disappearance, the aviation heroine's end still remains an enigma.

Google doodle Amelia Earhart

www.google.com

The doodle beautifully designed on Amelia Earhart's anniversary shows her climbing up her Lockheed Vega 5B monoplane, Earhart's yellow scarf fluttering in the wind.

The Google letters take the place of the original registration number of the Lockheed Vega 5b - NR-7952 - painted below the wings of the aircraft.

Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24th, 1897. In 1937 she started an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe. But Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean.

Sally Ride

http://images.tbd.com/

Sally Ride, who died July 24 was the first woman in space. Amelia Earhart, whose birthday was July 24 was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

"Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism – and literally changed the face of America’s space program," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly." 

Both are important in human history because they showed other women that it could be done. In their own words, they have motivated women across the world.

Gender Equality

http://www.oecd.org/

I often write about gender equality. Girls are more and more proving in different situations at school and in business that they are equal to men in the intelligence and capacity.

This begins early in school where girls must be encouraged to access to science and techonoly.

The aim is to encourage creativity in the field of science and new technologies and highlight the importance of developing innovative skills at an early age.

Arts Festival | Coimbra

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/

Festival das Artes: férias culturais? teve lugar em Coimbra (Portugal) e decorreu de 13 a 29 Julho 2012. Contou com trinta e cinco eventos, doze concertos, cinco exposições e muitos outras propostas de artes.

Este ano o tema foi "Viagens", em parte motivado pelo facto de se cumprirem 440 anos sobre a edição de  "Os Lusíadas" de Luís Vaz de Camões, o poema épico que fala das viagens dos Portugueses na História e em concreto até à Índia.

Os eventos estavam distribuídos por cinco ciclos: Música, Cinema, Artes Plásticas, Conferências, Artes de Palco, Gastronomia e Serviço Educativo.

Nada melhor do que ter rumado até Coimbra e ter inscrito os jovens e os menos jovens nas várias actividades que o Serviço Educativo propôs.

Serviço Educativo | Festival de Artes

http://www.festivaldasartes.com/

Propostas diversificadas ligadas ao teatro, literatura, escrita criativa, ciência viva, exposições, e roteiros de sabores.

Sabe como é interessante e enriquecedor orientar os jovens para actividades culturais em tempo de férias escolares. 

Festival de Artes 2012 é uma iniciativa no âmbito da actividade cultural que procura dar oportunidade de expressão, desenvolver o sentido crítico, e o gosto pelas artes.

Através deste projecto intergeracional, é possível identificar e promover gostos e experiências que  levam ao público várias expressões estéticas e lúdicas.

For 2012, the theme of this year's Arts Festival was "Travels". According to Festival Chairman José Miguel Judice, the theme, in part, was motivated by the 440-year-old great literary work of Luís Camões "Os Lusíadas". 

Quinta das Lágrimas Amphitheater

http://portugalconfidential.com/

Music, Cinema, Stage, Gastronomy, Art, Conferences, Education in the beautiful Quinta das Lágrimas in Coimbra (Portugal)

Education cycle offered several activities and workshops for different generations: science, storytelling, theatre, gastronomy, exhibitions. 

If  you are living or were visiting Portugal, I am sure you didn't miss this wonderful festival. You and your kids could enjoy and learn a lot about Portuguese culture. 

The project aimed to bring together different generations at the "European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations 2012".

Holiday time? No! What about creativity? Last idea was about a wonderful opportunity for cultural holidays: Festival das Artes: férias culturais?

During July and Augst, I am writing about some subjects that might interest you for the next school season.

Well, we know that a teacher is never on holiday time, completely. After some days off on the beach or travelling a little, a teacher is always thinking about some new ideas, here and there, to surprise the students next school season.

Neil Gaiman

http://upload.wikimedia.org/

Here Literature and fiction. Let me introduce Neil Gaiman by himself! Bestselling author Neil Gaiman has long been one of the top writers in comics, and also writes books for readers of all ages. 

He is listed in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as one of the top ten living post-modern writers, and is a prolific creator of works of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama. 

First time I talked about Gaiman to my students, it was about Coraline. The tale of the lonely girl who discovers an alternate world where her ‘other mother and father’ live has been turned into a graphic novel and a film. 

Coraline's 10th Anniversary

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/

Now it's Coraline's Tenth Anniversary (here's the UK's 10th Anniversary edition).

“I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?” 

Coraline

Celebrating ten years of Neil Gaiman’s first modern classic for young readers, this must-have anniversary edition is enriched with a brand-new foreword from the author, a reader’s guide, and more. 

I discovered on the web the nteresting video below that we could share with our students in Secondary education or Further education. 

At the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, author and comic book writer Neil Gaiman shared some "secret freelancer knowledge" that all kinds of writers, editors and freelance workers can use. And of course, young people beginning a career. Watch the speech below:

Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 from The University of the Arts (Phl) on Vimeo.

Wow! Such an inspirational speech!  If you have some creative students - and we all know that we have a lot of creative young people in our schools - you need to share this utterly inspirational and captivating speech.

"You can be as creative as you need to be to get your work seen: Youtube or the web and what comes up after Youtube and the web  can give you more people watching than television did.

(...)

Be wise because the world needs more wisdom and if you can not be wise pretend to be someone who is wise and just behave as they would. 

And now go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes, break rules live the world more interesting because you're being here.

Make good art."

Neil Gaiman

I think, most of  all, as an individual researcher in Education that Millenials young people brought a fantastic new vision to schools and Education (all levels now) with their visual spatial skills - screen generation - non verbal intelligence, multi-tasking attitude into the classroom.

I really hope that you will enjoy every pedagogical proposal published in July or will discover some new pedagogical ideas to introduce in your lessons.

I thank you very much to all the colleagues that kindly read my blog. And you come for around the world.
