In non-formal education adaptation was necessary. The social educator workswhere she finds young people and / or their families

The meeting was different every day, in different places, without apredetermined content as goal. What happened was material to work with our tooland the link.

And in school, do they come or we go?

Where is the place of the chalkboard in the

classroom? Why does it take that place? Is that the proper place today?

If the ring a ring o´roses is not a game, then it’s only for kids

The digitization of hardware is only a first

step

If we were able to change the layout of the classroom? What

place would we choose? How?

Connecting with

de digitalization of

some core ideas

from the book

“Grief of school“

by Daniel Pennac

Looking for help

to find another

place

“Each student plays his instrument, it´s not worthy to go against that. The delicate

point is to know our musicians well and find the harmony (...) Since the taste for

harmony makes them all progress (...)-The problem is we all want to make them believe in a world in wich only first violins

count“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

Projects in the classroom that make us face the experience of creating something together,

starting from our diferences

Personal learning at the rithm and needs of each student

“That veredict offered me the compensationg of lazyness: why to wear

oneself out in the task if higher authorities

consider the die is cast?“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“Talking to him about prospects is like asking him to measure infinite

with a decimeter“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“A previous warning: Adults and kids, this is well known,

have not the same perception about time. Ten years are nothing for the adult who calculates duration of his

existence in decades“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“If marks are to measure anything, that something

should be the distance those concerned have gone through

in the path of this understanding“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

Self evaluation and statistics data

Process and result

¿Can we accompany

students with different rithms?

¿How?

“Yes, that´s what blockheads do, they can´t stop telling themselves the story of their dumbness: I´m useless, I´ll never achieve

it, It´s not even worth it to try, is screwed in advance, I had already told you, school is not for me... School seems a very closed club to them where access is forbidden.

With the help of some professors, sometimes...”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“Some kids very early persuade themselves that´s just the way it goes and, in case they don´t find anybody to disuade them, since they are unable to live without

passion, they develop, in their lack of something better, a passion for

failure“.

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“I grab the ringleaders, those juvenile leaders who are fifteen or sixteen years old, I

tentatively isolate them from the group, because the group is the one who terminates

them, always, prevent them to constitute themselves, I put a camera in their hands

and release one of their collegues to interview them, someone they choose for.

They do their interview alone, in a corner, far from other´s glances, they come back and watch the shot together, this time with the

group“

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“When they have reached that degree of lucidity, I stop the showing and send them again with the camera so they repeat the interview, with no further explanations.

What counts now is their face, one could say the interviewer listens to the face of the other, and whats shows up in that

face is the effort to understand, as if for the first time they gazed at themselves as

they are: they are knowing complexity“

Digital storytelling. CLASSROOM BLOG

How do we take the opportunity to tell our

story?

Thanks to new Technologies 3

“Astonished, no doubt in front of my ability to shape ever more

inventive apologies for lessons not learned or not made duties, he decided to exempt from the newsrooms to handle a novel.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“..the loneliness and the shame of the student who does not

understand, lost in a world where everyone else understands "

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“..there is the mother (*) that is furious, convinced that her boy is always the

innocent victim of a coalition of teachers, regardless of the subjects,(...) the mother that knows about psychology and that is

giving an explanation to everything, is surprised that everything hasn’t got a

solution always”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

(*) Literally. Obviously us the father we use similar strategies

PLATFORMS AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY

“Do not let your ideas be stolen. Give them as gift!”

Sir Ken Robinson

let’s copy / shall we copy?

“Prohibit copying is an anachronism of traditional

teaching. The copy is not negative in itself: what is negative is due to bring the immobility of knowledge,

the detention of doing and knowing”

Nicolas Rafael

How do we design networks and build

community?

Thanks to new Technologies 4

“We as students we go way; but you will stay! We are free but you are

condemned to life imprisonment. We, the bad boys, you may not get

anywhere, but we are moving. The platform will not be the unfortunate

stronghold of our lives.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education systems”

Albert Einstein

We disconnect or we connect we our passion?

“Those teachers did not share with us only his

knowledge, but the very desire to know.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“…you must know how to play with learning. The game is the breath of

effort, the other heartbeat, does not affect the

seriousness of learning, but is its counterpoint.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

multimedia digital content.

Serious games and gamification

How is it to connect our passions trough the new tech use?

Thanks to new Technologies 5

Sometimes I advised them boredom exercises, yes, to install

in perseverance. I prayed that they should not do anything, do not be

distracted, do not consume anything, even conversation,

neither do they work, in short, to do nothing, nothing at all.”

—When I'm with them or with their exams, I'm not

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

One thing is sure, the presence of my students is closely linked to mine: of my presence in the entire class and each individual in particular, my presence also

in my stuff, my physical presence, intellectual and

mental,...”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

Just one teacher-one!-To save us from ourselves and make

us forget all others.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

On second thought, those three teachers only had one thing in common: they never

let the prey go.”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“Your first qualification should be the ability to conceive the state of one who does not

know what you know. I dream of a CAP test or degree where the candidate is asked to

recall a school failure .(...) to introduce failure dynamics and difficult learning. Master´s

degree imperative. if when we approach to technology we live it as a challenge and a

chance to remember what it was like to stay at the other side ”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

“In short, it is necessary that tose who want to teach have a clear

vision of their schooling, that they feel a little bit the state of ignorance, if they want a chance to get us out

of there”

Daniel Pennac “Grief of School“

Teacher benchmark, significant link, close and available

Ultraconnected present

How do we use the tools to improve and

increase ourpresence??

Thanks to new Technologies 6

With new technologies we can decide to increase

Peer to peer learning experiencesRespect rhythms and needs

Construct explanations of self-releasingKnit network with the wider school

communityConnect with our passions
