9.2+Reflecting+about...



== One of the important issues here, was to know and to participate in ‘Portuguese schools’ life: teachers and pupils, classroom observation, subjects studied, classroom management, the curriculum, outdoor education, etc. The whole vision will be not complete if you don’t have opportunity to analyze the Portuguese National Curriculum. ==

 * SPAIN: **


 * As teachers of English as a Foreign Language, me and Sandra would like to adapt the activity SCIENTIFIC TOURISM - IN THE ROUTES OF SCIENTISTS to our students' needs and interests. Thus, we would do a very similar activity, but on a different topic: CULTURAL TOURISM - IN THE ROUTES OF ARTISTS. **
 * We would follow the same instructions: **
 * ** give students a clear task by mentioning the different questions we want them to answer **
 * ** encourage them to use not only written texts but also multimedia materials **
 * ** help them organize their ideas (first, giving the wiki a name, then starting presenting the different parts under titles, subtitles, etc.) **
 * **have them edit the information**
 * **reflect and discuss about their own and their colleagues' work**
 * **consider the colleagues' opinions and make changes in their work, if necessary**
 * **value and decide which is the most interesting work among the whole class.**

**FACILITIES:**
 * **easy way in (development, evaluation, etc.)**
 * **motivating**
 * **school surroundings can be exploited**

**CONSTRAINTS:**
 * **it is not common to have computers for each student in the classroom. Therefore, as teachers, we have to adapt the use of the wikis to this situation and try to get the most of them by asking students to use them while they are at home.**

== **Bizim okullarımızda wiki kullanılmıyor. Kullanılsa bile her öğrencide bilgisayar olmadığından dolayı herkes bundan faydalanamayacak. Ögrenciler genelde farklı sitelerde dolaşmayı tercih edecek. Dikkatlerini çekmek biraz zor olabilir. Bir çok evde internet yok. Bunun sebebi internetin farklı amaçlarla kullanılıyor olmasıdır. Ayrıca bu konuda öğretmenlerimiz bilgili ve deneyimli değiller. Bu yazılımın bir çok faydası olabilir ki bunların en önemlisi zaman kaybının ortadan kaldırılması ve kağıt tasarrufunun sağlanmasıdır. Öğrencileri güdülemek için farklı bir yöntem olabilir. Alıştırmalarla öğrencilere pratikler yaptırılır.** ==
