Project Based Learning Reading about project based learning reminded me of the projects we used to make in the previous years in different subjects. Now I have a clear idea of the reason why we did those projects and their importance. I remember a project in biology and we were divided in pairs and had to construct a body cell with all its parts.The teacher left us free choice about how to construct it and what materials to use. My friend and I chose to make it with plasticine . Still today I have in my mind the steps we followed to design it and the colors used according to each organelle in order to make it as real as possible. During all the time when we were preparing it I was motivated and wanted to see how it would look like in the end. In every step we made when constructing it, we had a look at the book seeing different pictures in order to make it like the one in the textbook. It was not only the image that got stuck in my brain but also the terms, the name...

The Flipped Classroom ðŸ’💻🖧 In the classical setting classroom is all about the teacher he uses all the tools to give the lecture and to deliver instructions.The teacher has a defined space,usually in front of the classroom,where he makes use of markers, boards, projectors, and other tools to hold a lecture. All the students sit in rows in their own part of the classroom and should pay attention to that lecture. Now days with the passing of the years things are changing. Students can watch or listen to the lectures at home and they can have access at lectures anytime.The teacher is the guide leading students to acquire knowledge by themselves. The flipped classroom creates a more personalized experience of learning.Different from the traditional way of learning that you have to finish an exercise in the time given, students can adjust the speed of acquiring new information to their abilities.With flipped classrooms students...
Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning In the previous years of learning we as students were mostly used to the traditional teaching method. Every day it was almost the same, the teacher interrogated the previous lesson to put us grades, just numbers which were supposed to tell how much we had learned or how much we could remember from the text book. Later the teacher would explain the next lesson of the book and give as a lot of homeworks which sometimes would make as bored with school if we had whole pages of exercises to complete. This was our routine and school was monotonous and a place where you were obliged to be. Not many people know that the word "school"comes from the ancient greek meaning "free time". Just like in games everyone must have an active role and be a participator in the learning process. Totally the opposite happens in reality, in some cases students see learning as an obligation. While reading about constructivis...
Multiple Intelligences
Multiple Intelligences 🌟 According to Howard Gardner ( psychologist and Professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education) all human beings have all nine intelligences which are Verbal-linguistic, Mathematical-logical, Musical, Visual-spatial, Bodily- kinesthetic , Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and the two last Naturalistic and Existential added in 1999.We possess them in varying amounts one might be more developed than the other. The question is “Why are they important and why should be valued"? The answer can be found in the definition itself, Intelligence is a set of skills that make it possible for a person to solve problems in life. In our classrooms we are going to have exercises, activities, questions which require putting to use our student’s thinking capacities to find the answer, to solve problems. Our aim as a teacher is to show the student’s full potential and this can be achieved by developing strategies ...
