I’m not worried about the use of ITC in the classroom, I don’t consider myself a master in computing… but I really worried about the methodology I’m going to use next year!!!!!with every student in class using his/her own laptop.

I don’t feel confortable at all with this “educat1x1” stuff!!!!

From my point of view, it is obvious and as you may have seen in older posts in this blog, that what we call CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT will be very different next year, but as head fo the English department in my school, and having into account the kind of students we have, it seems to me that nobodyelse has considered all this.

I’ve made some research on this topic as I’m very much interested in it, I’ve found some articles dealing on that and telling that there must be a change in the role of the teacher. Today I’ve read two articles in the local newspaper, L‘Empordà, and both saying the same thing.

But I’ve found nobody explaining……what to do the first day in class next school year!!!!

Only the video on XTEC.CAT  the govenmental site for Catalan Teachers  (bottom right) 😆
