Es la música perfecta para volver a la realidad, al mundo bajo el sol. Carlos Galilea, en un tono de voz suave, acorde con la música que programa, me ayuda a regresar. En el programa del pasado miércoles (creo recordar) día 26 de enero de 2011, cuando exhortaba a los oyentes a participar, como se espera de cualquier medio que se precie, hubo un detalle del mensaje que transmitía que me produjo una pequeña epifanía (lo de pequeña pretende minimizar el efecto transcendental). Se invitaba a utilizar las redes sociales (blog, facebook, no recuerdo si había alguna más), pero si alguien &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;todavía &lt;/span&gt;quería utilizar el correo electrónico, tendría que tener en cuenta que la respuesta no sería tan inmediata porque el medio no es tan flexible. ¡Cáspita! pensé (no es reproducción exacta), eso era lo mismo que se decía sobre el correo ordinario, el del sobre y la carta, cuando se empezó a utilizar el correo electrónico no hace muchos años.&lt;br /&gt;Hay veces que no soy consciente de lo mucho que ha avanzado la sociedad que habitamos los que nacimos en la era del bocadillo de mantequilla y conserva de guayaba o membrillo. Sin embargo, tengo la sensación, de que no es lo mismo en el entorno escolar. Mucho de lo que sucede en los centros en donde he tenido la grandísima suerte de trabajar (me siento un docente muy afortunado) no dista demasiado de lo que sucedía en los centros en donde estudié: la información la da el profesor, que es el que se encarga de comprobar que el alumno o alumna es capaz de reproducirla; existe una señal que nos marca cuándo debemos cambiar de amprender/ enseñar una cosa a otra; las mesas están orientadas hacia la pizarra, centro de atención del aula, en donde cuando el profesor anota algo, el alumnado pregunta "¿tenemos que copiarlo?" La evaluación, en un porcentaje demasiado alto de ocasiones, sigue siendo sinónimo de examen, y el supuesto aprendizaje se valora con una nota obtenida de sumar, restar, multiplicar y dividir.&lt;br /&gt;En la era del e-aprendizaje, el e-aprendiz, el e-profesor, el centro se ha quedado e-stancado (perdón por el chiste fácil). El sistema educativo se ha quedado fuera del ímpetu del desarrollo. Muchos nos echamos las manos a la cabeza cuando un alumno o alumna lleva una gorra, sin plantearnos si el código ha cambiado, si lo de quitarse el sombrero sigue aplicándose hoy en día, o si, acaso, tiene que ver con imponer nuestro criterio por probar hasta donde llega nuestro control. Pero no nos inmutamos al ver que un porcentaje enorme de alumnos no saluda a nadie cuando llega al centro en el que pasa seis horas al día, cinco días a la semana. Nuestro alumnado es capaz de mantener siete y ocho conversaciones al mismo tiempo, mientras actualiza su estado en las redes sociales, y comprueba el estado de sus "amigos," y comenta las fotos de los más populares. Sin embargo, se le evalúa por leer, o no, el Lazarillo de Tormes. No dudo que sea  necesario que todos y cada uno de los españoles y españolas conozcan la existencia de los tesoros de nuestra literatura, y de que aprendan las fórmulas matemáticas más sofisticadas, pero algo deberíamos hacer para acoplarnos a lo que sucede fuera del centro.&lt;br /&gt;Como si de una historia de ciencia ficción se tratara, a veces tengo la sensación de estar haciendo un viaje atrás en el tiempo cada vez que entro en el centro. Todos los miembros de la comunidad escolar, sin excepción, sufrimos un proceso de regresión que parece obnubilar nuetro sentido común. Sólo así se explicaría que, contando con tanto medios para acceder a cualquier tipo de información, en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento, dediquemos tanto tiempo y esfuerzo a memorizar cosas que muy probablemente olvidaremos antes de que nuestros "amigos" cambien su situación a disponible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-7034943205513416675?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/7034943205513416675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=7034943205513416675' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/7034943205513416675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/7034943205513416675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2011/01/regresion.html' title='REGRESIÓN'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/TUNTltN6jPI/AAAAAAAAAHU/Xzm34hyTogU/s72-c/pluma.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-9163108310696995514</id><published>2010-12-23T19:48:00.000-01:00</published><updated>2010-12-23T19:49:42.968-01:00</updated><title type='text'>FELICIDADES!</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyOTMxMzYyNTcyMDMmcHQ9MTI5MzEzNzE5MjUwMCZwPTIyMTYzMSZkPSZnPTImbz*3MDZlYTI4ZWViYTM*NWNiOWQw/ZDA3NDcwYzRjMWFiOCZvZj*w.gif" /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.glogster.com/flash/flash_loader.swf?ver=1292605298" flashvars="sl=http://www.glogster.com/flash/glog.swf?ver=1292605298&amp;gi=13928525&amp;ui=4097702&amp;li=3&amp;fu=http://www.glogster.com/flash/&amp;su=http://www.glogster.com/connector/&amp;fn=http://www.glogster.com/fonty/&amp;embed=true&amp;pu=http://www.glogster.com/blog-thumbs//13/92/85/13928525_2.jpg&amp;si=x&amp;gw=3,8,0&amp;gh=5,1,4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="window" allowScriptAcces="always" allowNetworking="all" allowFullScreen="true" height="514" width="380"/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-9163108310696995514?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/9163108310696995514/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=9163108310696995514' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/9163108310696995514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/9163108310696995514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2010/12/felicidades.html' title='FELICIDADES!'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5053481965290294158</id><published>2010-04-27T20:20:00.008Z</published><updated>2010-04-27T22:23:38.543Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EFL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clil shower'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><title type='text'>A CLIL EXPERIENCE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I really like teaching, I have to confess! It is really rewarding to have a group of students growing as you move along together. The feeling that you are learning as much as they are, that they will all leave a trace on you (as you hope you will give them something) is unique. That was what I felt a couple of weeks ago during a nice activity outdoors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Three CLIL groups (around 90 kids in total), from different levels, but from our same school went out to experience something like a CLIL shower in a different context. We were several teachers, each with a plan: we all had a game and we devided the students to make heterogenous groups. We had a great time with all of them.&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed sharing my activity with the kids a lot.  We had five different boxes, with different things inside (all representing different touch adjectives). We covered one kids' eyes. They would have to put their hands inside the boxes and describe what was inside to the rest of the students, who, in turn, had to guess what there was in each of the boxes (adapted from an activity my niece told me acouple of months ago). They (and, definetely, I) had great fun. Specially the one putting their hands in the boxes blind eyed.&lt;br /&gt;The last activity was the whole group (90 kids!) together. I wouldn't know the name of the game in English: two groups A and B. Each group had a card with the picture  of an object, animal... so that every card was repeated twice, one for each group. One of the teachers described the object (animal...) and the ones who thought had the picture would run to take the cloth and run back to his group. Downright success!&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/S9dTBhRZpHI/AAAAAAAAAHA/yYlyFcfa-Tc/s1600/varios+028.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/S9dTBhRZpHI/AAAAAAAAAHA/yYlyFcfa-Tc/s400/varios+028.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464927958413714546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything in the activities worked really well (there were some poblems, of course, but nothing the experience of our mates couldn't solve). But what really struck me was the atmosphere among the kids. For some of them it is the third year of CLIL. For others it is the second and the first. But they all felt really comfortable in a context where their teachers (and others who were not their current teachers) interacted with them in English. Some o&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/S9dJODtD3-I/AAAAAAAAAG4/yOce2XTbRaE/s1600/varios+046.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/S9dJODtD3-I/AAAAAAAAAG4/yOce2XTbRaE/s400/varios+046.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464917178698686434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;f them would answer in English. Some of them wouldn't, it is true.

I'm sure you can come up with a couple of them. I think, though, that a good old scavenger hunt could help us see it from different perspectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what I suggest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would devide the class into two groups. One of the groups would play the role of students and the other one that of teachers. Both of them, together, would have to take a decision regarding wether or not to use blogs in class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you belong to the teacher group you would want to have a look at &lt;a href="http://thoughtsonteaching-jdunlap.blogspot.com/2008/03/using-blogs-with-students.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; blog and maybe watch &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RNQriKNY3M"&gt;this &lt;/a&gt;video (not very good sound for a computer room, but you get text together with it, so...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you belong to the students group, maybe &lt;a href="http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749:Topic:143744"&gt;this &lt;/a&gt;blog entry could help you start having an opinion. &lt;a href="http://www.schooltube.com/video/39ca8caa0cfc42b39f53/Idioms-in-ASL---Back-Seat-Driver"&gt;This &lt;/a&gt;could also be an example of part of a video blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write on one side of a piece of paper the advantages; and the disadvantages on the other side.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-1912928562455338847?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/1912928562455338847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=1912928562455338847' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1912928562455338847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1912928562455338847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2010/02/blogging-scavenger-hunt.html' title='THE BLOGGING SCAVENGER HUNT'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/S3BaDVG-PLI/AAAAAAAAAGc/wkn46xdJoGs/s72-c/ScavHunt1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-9153364325192907380</id><published>2009-12-04T21:28:00.002-01:00</published><updated>2009-12-04T22:25:02.685-01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pel'/><title type='text'>E-PEL AND THE ROAD TO PROMOTE LEARNING</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SxmaEXWbezI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/u2q0itx-31o/s1600-h/DSC_7228.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SxmaEXWbezI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/u2q0itx-31o/s400/DSC_7228.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411525827040607026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know. It's a long time since my last post. But now I have an excuse. If you visit our blog &lt;a href="http://clilstarters.blogspot.com/"&gt;clilstarters&lt;/a&gt;, you will see that I've been pretty productive lately. And that leaves me very little time for reflexion. Pilar Torres wonderful &lt;a href="http://alinguistico.blogspot.com/2009/12/presentacion-del-portfolio-europeo-de.html"&gt;post &lt;/a&gt;on the presentation of the brand new Spanish E-PEL, made me think a lot, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new &lt;a href="http://wspre.mec.es/newrestripel/"&gt;E-PEL&lt;/a&gt; has included loads of the goodies that working online brings about: global access, multitasking, and so on and so forth (I'm not re-doing what Pilar has just narrated first person). I only thought it was too "adult-looking." The ELP's main aims are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Pedagógica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; en tanto que le debe ayudar a planificar su aprendizaje, a visualizar sus progresos, a discernir qué tipo de metodología se le adapta y, de esta manera, a potenciar su autonomía como aprendiz de lenguas y a motivarle a que continúe con el aprendizaje de estas a lo largo de su vida.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Informativa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, porque el pasaporte y el dossier le ofrecen la posibilidad de demostrar sus conocimientos de idiomas, a dar información clara y comprensible en Europa de su competencia, aprendizaje y uso de lenguas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This assumes the learner has already evolved into a perfectly autonomous leaner, which is not the case in Secondary Education (let alone Primary). Pilar also mentioned &lt;a href="http://www.europeestaalportfolio.nl/TaalPortfolio/en/show.do?ctx=10010,10020"&gt;Ducth E-Portfolio &lt;/a&gt;as an example of a more teaching-process oriented instance, including a different approach depending on the implied age of the user.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case it does help move our methodology into a more learning-oriented process (portfolio=step one; online=step two); one which is more time consuming for teachers. One way to solve this (always trying to give account of Pilar's post) is sharing the load with other teachers. Creating a resource bank, easily accesed from everywhere. In this sense, I've always thought using online learning platform (Moodle and the like) could help a lot. Not only as a meeting place for teachers to share ideas and resources (which is great), but also to set up self-access (I have always liked this term I've seen used in BCouncil centres) facilities our students could use from anywhere. Using SCORM, we could easily recycle already made material. Just a thought.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-9153364325192907380?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/9153364325192907380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=9153364325192907380' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/9153364325192907380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/9153364325192907380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2009/12/e-pel-and-road-to-promote-learning.html' title='E-PEL AND THE ROAD TO PROMOTE LEARNING'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SxmaEXWbezI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/u2q0itx-31o/s72-c/DSC_7228.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5185584827912105510</id><published>2009-08-23T19:45:00.004Z</published><updated>2009-11-20T19:14:34.225-01:00</updated><title type='text'>THE TEACHING EXPERIENCE</title><content type='html'>I have come across this video a couple of times and I thought it could be a good idea to use it as an introduction for a new stage in my professional life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RxsOVK4syxU&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RxsOVK4syxU&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-5185584827912105510?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/5185584827912105510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=5185584827912105510' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5185584827912105510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5185584827912105510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2009/08/teaching-experience.html' title='THE TEACHING EXPERIENCE'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-3672682171132427438</id><published>2009-03-02T16:00:00.000-01:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T16:00:01.862-01:00</updated><title type='text'>CLIL: The Debate</title><content type='html'>I have always thought that CLIL is the answer to many (I had to restrain from saying all) of the problems English teachers have had, specially in the State School System.

For the time being it's got information on activities begin held through out Europe under the auspices of the European Union. It's got details of dates (it would have been a nuisance of a calendar without dates), titles, places (some of them with maps, another goody of Google) and even the Code, to make it more useful. It is a public calendar (search for CLIL WORLD). Somebody has already included an activity in Crete.

La enseñanza (pública o no) es uno de los pocos servicios que aglutina a la totalidad de la población, y, definitivamente, el único (háganme una señal si me equivoco) que se prolonga durante tanto tiempo en la vida del ciudadano o ciudadana.&lt;br /&gt;Ahora bien, ¿qué espera la sociedad de los centros educativos? Es lógico suponer que la respuesta a esa pregunta está en la legislación vigente en materia educativa. Sin embargo, todos los que hemos estado en un centro sabemos que nuestra labor va mucho más allá. Sirva como ejemplo la figura del tutor/a. Hay una serie de tareas asignadas por normativa que marcan la labor a un nivel administrativo y poco más. ¿En qué lugar quedan las "tutorías afectivas" (para las que no he visto regulación, pero seguro que suenan familiares)? ¿Y la labor del mediador en conflictos entre iguales o no (medidas ambas en las que creo firmemente)? ¿Qué capacidades se esperan de el docente o la docente que imparta el ámbito científico-tecnológico de un Programa de Diversificación Curricular, o programas parecidos? O lo que es más ¿cómo atendemos a un niño diabético con un ataque de hipoglucemia?&lt;br /&gt;Esto deja al Licenciado o licenciada en Filología, Matemáticas, Geografía e Historia (sirvan como dignos ejemplos de un larguísimo etcétera hasta completar la enseñanza secundaria) en una situación algo compleja (dejo fuera al profesorado de primaria simple y llanamente porque sí han tenido formación pedagógica, y , sobre todo, porque desconozco el campo). No hemos sido, ni mucho menos, formados para desempeñar tamaña tarea. Somos expertos en un campo muy concreto de la sabiduría universal. ¿Cómo llenamos el hueco de aprendizaje hasta llegar a tener las competencias suficientes para desarrollar, con ciertas garantías de éxito, nuestra labor?&lt;br /&gt;En los últimos años hemos visto como han ido incluyéndose en la vida de los centros la figura de el o la Trabajadora Social (además de la ya consolidada figura de el o la Orientadora), pero de forma muy tímida. ¿Es la respuesta que los equipos educativos se conviertan en equipos multidisciplinares que abarquen ámbitos distintos de la educación del alumnado?&lt;br /&gt;Las preguntas no son retóricas. No incluyo la respuesta en el enunciado. Pero sí pretendo reflejar una sensación de desasosiego, que creo que es bastante común entre el profesorado, a la hora de realizar mi tarea.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-7742121291118248855?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/7742121291118248855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=7742121291118248855' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/7742121291118248855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/7742121291118248855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/12/educacin-comunicacin-y-nuevas.html' title='Educación, Comunicación y Nuevas Tecnologías: La importancia de la Psicopedagogía en el Sistema Educativo'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5455834650975505540</id><published>2008-12-10T16:49:00.004-01:00</published><updated>2009-01-23T09:05:48.883-01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><title type='text'>2 MUCH.0</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/ST6xCpH69qI/AAAAAAAAADk/KgdwadKytyk/s1600-h/go2web20.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/ST6xCpH69qI/AAAAAAAAADk/KgdwadKytyk/s400/go2web20.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277850472281732770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just felt exhausted when I bumped into this page!! It is incredibly important to have tools to co-work with your students. But sometimes it takes longer to filter out what's worth the try and what's not. The possibilities seem almost endless, but time is finite (it should, at least that you spend in front of the screen). We run the risk of sending the time you have to plan your lessons down the drain, just trying to find the right web 2.0. Why not customise our own? Stick to a couple of  Open Source gizmos  and go 2.0 in your our own right?? A group of people with same needs creating the tools they need for the purpose they share seems to be much easier.

One of those aha! moments about web 2.0. Loads of questions to be answered. Still, it is encouraging to hear people already using the model effectively.&lt;br /&gt;Alright, I admit, University students are already "filtered" (lots of things to say about this, but some other moment) and their attitude towards challenges is completely different. Even so, teenagers do feel nearer to ICT than to books. So my hypothesis is that it should be easier to convince them to use this kind of methodology than it has been to make them fill in blanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://blip.tv/play/Ad6pM4mgeA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="266" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-3691709075045224774?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/3691709075045224774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=3691709075045224774' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/3691709075045224774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/3691709075045224774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-friend-ivn-juanes-much-more-active.html' title='WEB 2.0 EASY RIDER'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-834316180652935613</id><published>2008-07-22T13:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-11-10T17:58:44.516-01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ENGLISH TEACHING'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EFL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ESL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WEB2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TIC'/><title type='text'>BLOGGING YOUR WAY THROUGH</title><content type='html'>You know what &lt;a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog"&gt;Blog &lt;/a&gt;stands for, don't you? But the point here is, what is it good for in teaching? Specially if we're talking about languages. Well, I can think of a couple of ways (many of you would give me a nice list, longer than mine for sure) I could use it in my lessons. However, my aim is just trying that you can get a glance at how Web2.0 (blog is one of its most famous tools) can help you tidy up all that incredible amount of resources.&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of places that will host your future blog for free (if you just type free blog in google you'll get all  &lt;a href="http://www.google.es/search?q=free+blog&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:es-ES:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;). I'm using &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/"&gt;Blogger &lt;/a&gt;at the moment, not for any special reason. Maybe simply because it was where I started. From what I can gather, most of the hosting sites gives you more or less the same facilities. A very famous one for Educational purposes is &lt;a href="http://edublogs.org/"&gt;Edublog&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SFfaxcu8BgI/AAAAAAAAAC0/yDGyCWFVlKo/s1600-h/edublog.GIF"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SFfaxcu8BgI/AAAAAAAAAC0/yDGyCWFVlKo/s320/edublog.GIF" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212875636766148098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would have to decide what but also where to post. The inportant thing (as far as I know) is to have a place where you can interact/ cooperate/ collaborate with your learners.&lt;br /&gt;Once you have decided, you have to plan your goals. Depending on what you are trying to get from the blog, you would add certain &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadget_%28disambiguation%29"&gt;gadgets &lt;/a&gt;or others: from slide shows (with pictures or any other presentation you might think worthwhile) to radio streams, anything goes.&lt;br /&gt;In any case, there are some basic tools you would want to have. Of course, any blog will include postings. And I think this is one of the most powerful resources of meaningful material: authoring your own. Nearly anything you would hand out on paper you could also post it or tell your learners to post it. I have seen it used with pictures of students' work (ART, TECHNOLOGY...), with other mates giving feed back to the author (you could set up on what aspects of the work should mates comment on); a piece of text as a rubric to start a work students have to post after doing research; using &lt;a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast"&gt;podcasts &lt;/a&gt;with an activity attached to it (some way), so you could have listening exercises (again authoring is also possible here, though there are sites with free podcasts specific for EFL/ESL); building up a joint story; as a log of a trip the learners make together, mixing pictures with feedback (think about the possibilities for parents as well). Can you think of any other example (something you've seen or something you might come up with now)?&lt;br /&gt;But what's around the posts? I would highly recomend having &lt;a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS"&gt;RSS &lt;/a&gt;feeds of the pages you think students could need when doing their research; or of other students' (classes) blogs. There is a huge number of possibilities (click &lt;a href="http://aula21.net/aulablog21/archives/2008/06/12/35-propuestas-para-el-uso-de-los-canales-rss-en-el-aula/"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;and you'll see at least 35). Remember that all social bookmarking sites have RSS feeds, that would mean having recomended pages automatically coming to your blog (takes a little bit of planning, and maybe creating your own tags and then promoting, but I would say it is worthwhile).&lt;br /&gt;Something I would also add is a joint calendar (I know about Google calendar, which is the one I use and is embbeded in the right column). It could act as a reminder of important deadlines... If both you and your learners customise it, you'll probably get interesting stuff.&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the resources in your school, you could do it on a regular basis or from time to time. You could set it up for systematic feedback (for students and parents, back and forth) out of school; as a follow up at the end of every unit, you name it.&lt;br /&gt;Is it an extra load, on top of all the planning we have to do? I wouldn't say so.

We are always trying to find new ways of surprising our kids, to lure them into taking a step forward. We need material (of any kind) to stir them up. So we spend hours and hours going through the millions of links that come out when we type English teaching in Google (or any other similar smart expression). How about browsing what other users have already found interesting, instead? That substantially cuts   down the numbers, don't you think?.&lt;br /&gt;There are certain tools (I'm sure there is a geek-talk word for that) across the Net that help us set up graded lists of special interests, going from frog disecting to needle bending (teaching should be somewhere in the middle of that, shouldn't it?) We can classify and give oppinion on any web page we might stumble upon ;-) You give it a tag/ lable (or several) and say what it is worth and maybe to what extent you would recomend it. If you mulpiply this by the number of teachers who come and participate (there is quite a number at the moment) you get a nice picture of what are the most popular sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE6tukxhKxI/AAAAAAAAACE/6oYPyBji9dA/s1600-h/STUMBLEUPON.GIF"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE6tukxhKxI/AAAAAAAAACE/6oYPyBji9dA/s320/STUMBLEUPON.GIF" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210292834571201298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Let's take a look at some of them. Surprisingly, one of the most intersting I have come accross (or I should better say lead to) is &lt;a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/"&gt;StumbleUpon.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rational here is "I stumbled upon a nice page about x and this is what I think of it." The more votes the page has the higher in the rank it will be. Yes, you still have to go through things you don't need, but they are less and normally interesting.&lt;br /&gt;You can go about only using web based StumbleUpon, but it is a plus using it with its toolbar installed in your Internet browser (Internet Explorer, or Firefox: I normally use the latter). K-12 education seems the most appropriate tag to look for regarding teaching, though that is not necessarily so. It is a little bit random-like, but I have found incredibly interesting sites using it.&lt;br /&gt;A little bit less random-looking gizmos or gadgets (THAT is geek-talk, though don't know if used properly) are &lt;a href="http://www.blinklist.com/"&gt;Blinklist &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/"&gt;Del.icio.us&lt;/a&gt;. They are not the only ones. But they are the ones I normally use (and very powerful for CLIL, specially del.icio.us). They are also more flexible. You create your own tags that turn into proper Web sites with RSS (I'll try to explain both concepts, tags and RSS, later on).&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE615T_L_VI/AAAAAAAAACc/FwGclQdHHW0/s1600-h/blinklist.GIF"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE615T_L_VI/AAAAAAAAACc/FwGclQdHHW0/s320/blinklist.GIF" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210301815136714066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find Blinklist easier to tag. It also has a Firefox/ IE toolbar. Any page you find interesting you give it a tag (or lable) or several tags, and it will be stored, and anyone looking for information on that tag (say CLIL) will have your suggestions (with comments). If you do this, you help build the community, but you can also just search blinklist for the pages othe people have tagged (you already have a page for clil which is http://www.blinklist.com/ansepema/clil/ or http://www.blinklist.com/tag/clil/,  50 odd pages and growing). You will find that the combination &lt;a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/"&gt;Firefox &lt;/a&gt;plus many other Add-ons is incredibly useful. I encourage you to explor&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE64j64puGI/AAAAAAAAACk/3MPPkVcqk0s/s1600-h/delicious.GIF"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE64j64puGI/AAAAAAAAACk/3MPPkVcqk0s/s320/delicious.GIF" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210304746156046434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;e.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, Del.icio.us is much more popular, so the number of interesting pages is larger. That doesn't necessarily mean it will take more time searching, but it will sure raise the odds that you find something interesting. Besides, RSS seems to work better with De.licio.us than with Blinklist (don't really know why), though I find it a little bit more awkward the way to tag the sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are now three concepts I should explain before I go on: RSS, tag, and tag cloud (which has not been mentioned before, but it is a feature I really enjoy). RSS stands for either Rich Site Summary (self explanatory) or Really Simple Sindication (incredibly easy to subscribe). In short, it is a widget (I get mad at all this geek talk but it is the only way of avoiding "thing" or "tool;" they all have a different meaning, but it doesn't really matter, so far, does it?) that helps you keep track of changes in your favourite Web sites. It is very useful with online news papers. Every time a piece of news is posted, it will pop into you RSS reader. That is, you can have a page (your own personal page, &lt;a href="http://www.google.es/ig"&gt;iGoogle&lt;/a&gt; is very popular) where all updates of your favourite sites will simply materialise. Incredibly helpful for constantly updating resources web sites such us &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/"&gt;BBC Learning English&lt;/a&gt;. It is maybe a little bit hard to grasp, but once you do it once you see it is simply a one-click feature.&lt;br /&gt;A tag is a word that, according to you, could sum up what the page is about. You can use one or more words (normally separated by commas), and every word will be a tag. Everytime you use the same tag, its popularity (so to speak) will grow, and it will give users an scent of what is being talked about in the site. It also helps searches. Just try "CLIL" at Del.icio.us (though you don't have to because you have them all in the right column of this blog, thanks to RSS, but that's another story). A nice feature in blogs and other Web 2.0 sites is the "TAG CLOUD." It is a randomly-placed number of tags that grow in size and change colour as people use them. So, if in a site you see CLIL bigger than the rest of tags, you can rightly guess that CLIL is an issue there. Quite visual. You have one on the right column, at the top. Ain't it nice??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-5127511513433381179?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/5127511513433381179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=5127511513433381179' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5127511513433381179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5127511513433381179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/06/social-bookmarking-future-simple.html' title='SOCIAL BOOKMARKING: THE FUTURE SIMPLE PERFECT'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SE6tukxhKxI/AAAAAAAAACE/6oYPyBji9dA/s72-c/STUMBLEUPON.GIF' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5117264388808982891</id><published>2008-06-21T09:41:00.005Z</published><updated>2008-06-21T12:18:06.552Z</updated><title type='text'>LA LIBERTAD EN EL CÓDIGO ABIERTO</title><content type='html'>http://www.itais.net/2008/06/19/haciendo-mas-amigos/trackback/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   En mi humilde opinión el software libre lleva hasta el extremo (al menos desde la perspectiva del recién iniciado) la democratización de los medios de información y comunicación. El usuario sólo tiene  sus propios límites personales para marcarse objetivos de aprendizaje y/ o emprendeiduría (sea por intereses pecuniarios o artísticos). La libertad de Creación.&lt;br /&gt;  Obviamente, soy consciente de que se trata de un espejismo. ¿La libertad de quién? ¿Qué medios técnicos son necesarios para acceder a esa libertad? ¿En qué partes del mundo? Incluso, ¿Qué estratos sociales son los que pueden acceder a cierta tecnología e, inluso, esquemas conceptuales (teniendo en cuenta la pirámide de Maslow)?&lt;br /&gt;   Pero la cuestión aquí es que, a los que hemos tenido la enorme ventaja de poder ver en el horizonte el maná tecnológico, vemos como los que toman las decisiones, persiguen intereses que marcan caminos que nos alejan de ese horizonte. Al que promueve cierto tipo de alternativas se le reviste de un halo de anacoreta; al que promueve el trabajo colaborativo se le tacha de inadaptado; al que entrega sus conocimientos de forma desinteresada (al menos según los preceptos tradicionales) se le tilda de &lt;a href="http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_HTML=2&amp;amp;TIPO_BUS=3&amp;amp;LEMA=tolete"&gt;tolete&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;   Este artículo no me sorprende ni me enerva (que son, quizá, algunas de las emociones que cabría esperar). Pero simplemente porque ya es algo usual. Para cualquier innovación, existe un movimiento en contra, que es inversamente proporcional al número de personas que promuevan aquella. Lo que me tranquiliza es que percibo, aunque hace muy poco tiempo que he llegado, que la comunidad que integra este empuje es numerosa y bien avenida. De hecho, ya se ven ciertos resultados (en algunas comunidades autónomas ya hay hasta arranque dual, espero que se note el sarcasmo) por muy tímidos que sean.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-5117264388808982891?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/5117264388808982891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=5117264388808982891' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5117264388808982891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5117264388808982891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/06/la-libertad-en-el-cdigo-abierto.html' title='LA LIBERTAD EN EL CÓDIGO ABIERTO'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-7850557834312869183</id><published>2008-06-09T20:12:00.005Z</published><updated>2008-06-27T12:18:04.454Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new generations'/><title type='text'>A CONCEPTUAL CHANGE</title><content type='html'>Let me ask you a question before we go on. Is using ICTs for educational purposes a fancyful way of teaching the same things we were taught... ages ago (were they relevant  at all at that time, anyway?). I'm sure you've guessed my oppinion so far. Society has changed in such a way in the last decades that we cannot expect our kids to have the same expectations we used to (or do now) have. We should look at the tools we have for teaching from a completely different angle: it is not only what we teach through, but even what we teach (yes talking about sacred contents here) and, most of all, what students should learn (assessing?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.teachertube.com/skin-p/mediaplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"

type='html'>One of the most disappointing things when you start using Internet is the time you have to spend surfing the Net. Whether you are trying to find what matches exactly your needs or looking for something interesting, as a whole, you might end up spending hours and hours in front of the screen without much success. I'm sure you have seen someone very recently cutting and pasting (analogically speaking, that is) and photocopying for the students simply because they cannot be bothered to spending so much time looking for something appropriate, let alone "author" it. Well, why not let interesting things come to us???&lt;br /&gt;One of the key factors in Web 2.0 (as far as I know) is &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"COMMUNITY"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Most of the tools are based on putting the effort of many people together to make the most of our work. Put simply, two people working together get double the work going (yes, I know that's not always the case, only with proper training, but that's where Web 2.0 comes in): just imagine the whole world. If only we could know what the rest of English teachers considered interesting regarding a specific topic!! GRANTED!&lt;br /&gt;I have become acquainted with Web 2.0 very recently. I'm now very familiar with some of the resources. My purpose is just trying to set up a grasp of the potentiallities of the tools I'm using at the moment, which is probably just the tip of the iceberg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-1520551782371098402?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/1520551782371098402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=1520551782371098402' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1520551782371098402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1520551782371098402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/06/web-20-order-in-chaos.html' title='WEB 2.0: ORDER IN CHAOS'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-4149926832078893006</id><published>2008-06-08T21:11:00.003Z</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:17:17.212Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WEB2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TIC'/><title type='text'>CUÁLES SON LAS ALTERNATIVAS HOY?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/93SgXeu-SeY&amp;amp;hl=es"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/93SgXeu-SeY&amp;amp;hl=es" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-4149926832078893006?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/4149926832078893006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=4149926832078893006' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/4149926832078893006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/4149926832078893006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2008/06/cules-son-las-alternativas-hoy.html' title='CUÁLES SON LAS ALTERNATIVAS HOY?'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-7086559406433049638</id><published>2008-02-15T16:32:00.004-01:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:17:54.828Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TIC'/><title type='text'>NIGHTMARE IN THE COMPUTER ROOM</title><content type='html'>Well, after all, teaching at the computer room is not so nice, is it? After a horrible experience where I did everything I'm not supposed to do when you are going to use a computer room to teach, I decided I had to ponder upon under what extrict circumstances I should use a computer room again (if at all!).&lt;br /&gt;1.- first and foremost it should be my computer room, ie I know what problems there are, I know how it is set up...&lt;br /&gt;2.- If it is not my computer room, then I should check:&lt;br /&gt;2.1 if the software I'm going to use (if any) is properly installed.&lt;br /&gt;2.2 if there is sound facilities (loud speakers and/or headphones), or make sure I'm not going to need it.&lt;br /&gt;2.3 how many users per computer I'm going to have and set up activities accordingly: we don't want people getting bored, do we?&lt;br /&gt;2.4 make sure the activities you've set up work in every environment (at least in the environment you are going to use it): you may end up embbeding a video stream that will not be visible in your computer room or it would take ages to load.&lt;br /&gt;2.5 try to adjust you activities to the participants level of ICT competence: if multileveled (which is normally the case) make sure everyone will have fun.&lt;br /&gt;2.6 Internet could jeopardize your success (does it sound serious enough?). Web 2.0 is wonderful but doesn't work without a connection. Is it is an issue in your place as well?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can think of some more, but, so far, I'm starting to think, is it worth it?? Is a Computer Room a suitable tool for teaching?? No doubt about ICT, but how to implement it? A PC per room? How about cutting down prices and getting, say..., a computer per every two students?

Tal y como se ha planteado el mundo, cualquier país debe mirar hacia el exterior para garantizarse un futuro próspero. En el caso de Finlandia, con una población de unos cinco millones, y una densidad de 17 habitantes por km cuadrado, y un idioma complejo, su internacionalización no es una opción. Así, la política lingüística, con respecto a los idiomas extranjeros es muy progresista. En el caso que nos ocupa, desde el Comprenhensive School a los estudios de postgrado, el &lt;a href="http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=25819"&gt;sistema educativo Finlandés&lt;/a&gt; ha implatado el uso del CLIL como estrategia fundamental para el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera.&lt;br /&gt;   En el curso de CLIL en Rovaniemi, tuvimos la suerte de poder visitar dos centros educativos. El primer caso fue un centro de primaria (equivalente) en el centro de Rovaniemi. En realidad, el centro pertenecía a un pueblo a dos kilómetros de la ciudad, pero debido a obras de acondicionamiento, se les había ubicado de forma temporal en un centro provisional. En ningún caso se percibía condición de provisionalidad ni en las instalaciones ni en las condiciones de trabajo/ estudio. Un centro ideal en todos los sentidos.&lt;br /&gt;   Visitamos varias aulas en las que se impartía algún área en inglés. El profesorado utilizaba el inglés desde el inicio de la sesión aunque sí que utilizaba la L1 cuando lo estimaba necesario. Se animaba al alumnado a articipar en inglés (cosa que la inmensa mayoría hacía aunque fuese en contextos determinados o con estructuras concretas), pero también se recibía de buen grado las aportaciones del alumnado que venían en Finés. Lo que me sorprendió gratamente fue el alto grado de autonomía que tenía el alumnado. En una sesión de matemáticas de tercer grado (entre 9 y 10 años, si no me equivoco) el alumnado fue invitado a trabajar en dos grupos por separado haciendo actividades alternativas basadas en las operaciones básicas (todo en inglés). Al alumnado se le dieron instrucciones y ambos grupos trabajaron de forma autónoma, levantándose cuando era necesario, recogiendo el material al finalizar...&lt;br /&gt;   Vimos otra sesión sobre las &lt;a href="http://www.forest.fi/smyforest/foresteng.nsf/allbyid/ABE2755EE3EA0298C2256F3400416A8D?Opendocument"&gt;bayas silvestres&lt;/a&gt; (tema sorprendéntemente importante, al menos en Rovaniemi). Se trataba, esta vez, de alumnos y alumnas mayores (10-11 años). Se trataba de actividades bastante más manipulativas. El objetivo principal era reconocer la bayas y saber su nombre tanto en inglés como en Finés. Hubo constantes referencias al Sueco. El uso de la L1 por parte de la docente fue escaso. EL alumnado se acercó a nosotros y se atrevía a hablar en inglés con nosotros (las Islas Canarias les parecieron tan exóticas como a mi me pareció la sesión sobre la bayas).&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/"&gt;asergioperez&lt;/a&gt;, 2 minutes ago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width: 425px; text-align: left;" id="__ss_149525"&gt;&lt;object style="margin: 0px;" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=finland-1193696381414197-3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=finland-1193696381414197-3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/logo_embd.png" style="border: 0px none ; margin-bottom: -5px;" alt="SlideShare" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/finland-149525" title="View 'Finland' on SlideShare"&gt;View&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload"&gt;Upload your own&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/finland-149525"&gt;SlideShare Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/CIMP/Jmx0PTExOTM2OTY4MjMxMDkmcHQ9MTE5MzY5NzA4MzEwOSZwPTEwMTkxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZmPWI=.jpg" border="0" height="0" width="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-2952053861598166068?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/2952053861598166068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=2952053861598166068' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/2952053861598166068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/2952053861598166068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2007/10/finland.html' title='CLIL EN FINLANDIA'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-2518670362409616945</id><published>2007-10-29T20:31:00.001-01:00</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:19:40.612Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><title type='text'>CLIL EN EL CONTEXTO EUROPEO</title><content type='html'>Dentro de la política lingüística europea, CLIL se plantea como fundamental como forma de conseguir los objetivos de aprendizaje de lenguas que la Unión se ha propuesto.

En términos muy llanos, las Secciones Bilingües en los centros de Primaria y Secundaria de Canarias es la puesta en práctica del inglés como herramienta de aprendizaje. Es decir, el profesorado utiliza el inglés como medio para que el alumnado llegue al conocimiento. Llegando más al detalle, significa que el profesorado de áreas no lingüísticas en secundaria imparte al menos parte de sus contenidos en inglés, y el profesorado de inglés en primaria, imparte contenidos del área de Conocimiento del Medio en inglés, en coordinación con el o la tutor/a del grupo en cuestión.&lt;br /&gt;So far so good, como dirían en más de un lugar. Pero, cuáles son las implicaciones de tamaña gesta? Se trata de un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje lineal desde el profesorado al alumnado?&lt;br /&gt;From: &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/"&gt;asergioperez&lt;/a&gt;, 4 minutes ago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width: 425px; text-align: left;" id="__ss_142556"&gt;&lt;object style="margin: 0px;" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=1a-sesion-secc-biling-sec-sept-07-1193089459961369-3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=1a-sesion-secc-biling-sec-sept-07-1193089459961369-3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/logo_embd.png" style="border: 0px none ; margin-bottom: -5px;" alt="SlideShare" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/1a-sesion-secc-biling-sec-sept-07" title="View '1a Sesion Secc Biling Sec Sept 07' on SlideShare"&gt;View&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload"&gt;Upload your own&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/1a-sesion-secc-biling-sec-sept-07"&gt;SlideShare Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una de las características del proyecto (y en parte, uno de los secretos del éxito) es que lo asume el centro. Casi todos los parámetros que se manejan afectan de alguna manera a la vida del centro.&lt;br /&gt;El alumnado que lo conforma debe tener unas competencias lingüísticas y actitud determinadas que garanticen que se van a cumplir con garantías los objetivos del proyecto. Esto supone que se tendrán que llevar a cabo agrupamientos teniendo en cuenta este hecho. También es fundamental que el profesorado implicado se coordine, con el fin de garantizar una misma línea metodológica, unanimidad en los mensajes y la tan necesaria reiteración. Pero también influye en la autoconfianza lingüística del profesorado, en la formación y cohesión del equipo educativo. Además, dado el esfuerzo del centro en este proyecto, se debería buscar un lugar donde se le dé cabida a la información sobre la evolución del proyecto (CCP, claustros...).&lt;br /&gt;¿Que aporta el proyecto a cambio? Primero está lo que quizá sea el objetivo principal del proyecto: aumento en la producción lingüística del alumnado. En el aula se genera un contexto en donde el idioma deja de ser el centro de atención, el objeto de estudio, para convertirse en la herramienta necesaria para llegar al conocimiento. El propósito del aprendizaje cambia totalmente: en el aula de inglés el propósito es aprender inglés, en el aula de matemáticas en inglés el propósito es aprender matemáticas, y, de forma inconsciente, se produce también el aprendizaje del idioma. Hay un proceso parecido al de la adquisición del lenguaje (como opuesto a aprendizaje) que se produce en los contextos de segunda lengua (un español aprendiendo inglés en EE.UU.). Hay un aumento del vocabulario activo, una mayor autoconfianza en las habilidades de habla y escucha; se garantiza significatividad en la habilidad de lectura y escritura  ya que se usa con un objetivo cercano.&lt;br /&gt;El profesorado de áreas no lingüísticas y el de inglés se ven inmersos en un proceso de actualización didáctica casi continuo. La Administración ha confeccionado un calendario de formación para los involucrados y las involucradas, que genera estímulos a nivel de competencias lingüísticas, metodología, dinámicas de grupo. Sin embargo, no se ha de olvidar que la &lt;a href="http://www.clil-axis.net/espana_dimension.htm"&gt;enseñanza en tandem&lt;/a&gt; (hay mucha literatura al respecto) genera un contexto en donde la investigación-acción es la mayor fuente de innovación y mejora. Sin embargo, existe un efecto secundario no menos valioso, que es el aumento de la satisfacción profesional que se genera al compartir los éxitos y los fracasos con los compañeros y compañeras que tienen nuestros mismos desafíos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8YwABHYvHwM&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&amp;amp;border=0"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8YwABHYvHwM&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&amp;amp;border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gran parte de las decisiones tomadas en la evolución del proyecto han partido de la experiencia de los y las compañeras en el aula. Hasta el día de hoy, se han venido realizando reuniones de coordinación de forma trimestral. En ellas, el profesorado involucrado recibe formación en temas específicos (TIC, metodología, competencia comunicativa), se reúne con el fin de garantizar la homogeneidad entre los compañeros y compañeras que imparten el mismo área en todos los centros de Canarias y se toman decisiones con respecto al futuro inmediato (o a medio plazo). Además, al final de cada curso, cada centro debe remitir una memoria donde se valoran los avances y dificultades, además de proponer mejoras en el proyecto a nivel de centro y de Comunidad Autónoma. El hecho de que los verdaderos artífices del proyecto, como son los profesores y profesoras que aplican esta metodología en el aula, vean como las necesidades que ellos van detectando se convierten en decisiones para el próximo curso, ha ido generando un ambiente de de ilusión y motivación que puede ser la clave del éxito del proyecto. En las Jornadas para el profesorado que estaba aplicando CLIL que se celebraron el curso pasado se acordó redactar un Decálogo (aunque no son diez) de buenas prácticas CLIL en Canarias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width: 425px; text-align: left;" id="__ss_149612"&gt;&lt;object style="margin: 0px;" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=jornadas-clil-declogo1-1193702651287752-2"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/ssplayer2.swf?doc=jornadas-clil-declogo1-1193702651287752-2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/slideshare/logo_embd.png" style="border: 0px none ; margin-bottom: -5px;" alt="SlideShare" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/asergioperez/jornadas-clil-declogo1" title="View 'Jornadas Clil DecáLogo1' on SlideShare"&gt;View&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload"&gt;Upload your own&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-1162089070841978277?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/1162089070841978277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=1162089070841978277' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1162089070841978277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/1162089070841978277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2007/10/clil-en-canarias-cuestiones-basicas.html' title='CLIL en Canarias, cuestiones basicas para empezar'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5348607004922355340</id><published>2007-10-22T21:24:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:20:30.265Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='web 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TIC'/><title type='text'>COUNT CALCULA or teaching through the Web</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.teachertube.com/skin/player/flvplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="&amp;amp;file=http://www.teachertube.com/flvideo/4033.flv&amp;amp;image=http://www.teachertube.com/thumb/4033.jpg&amp;amp;location=http://www.teachertube.com/skin/player/flvplayer.swf&amp;amp;logo=http://www.teachertube.com/images/logo2.gif&amp;amp;link=http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=d7d808f1d14a6e9c8280&amp;amp;linktarget=_blank&amp;amp;frontcolor=0xffffff&amp;amp;backcolor=0x000000&amp;amp;lightcolor=0xFF0000&amp;amp;autostart=false&amp;amp;volume=80&amp;amp;overstretch=fit" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Una de las razones por las que la enseñanza de contenidos a través del inglés es más eficaz en el aprendizaje del idioma que la enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera, se encuentra en la &lt;a href="http://www.sil.org/capacitar/a2l/aprenadq.htm"&gt;dicotomía entre adquisición y aprendizaje&lt;/a&gt;. Sin embargo, la metodología es lo que parece marcar la diferencia entre la implementación CLIL con éxito o no: &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;"Where success is achieved, it is usually bound to the methodologies used by teachers across the curriculum" &lt;a href="http://www.metsmac.org/2007/proceedings/2006/Marsh-D-METSMaC-2006.pdf"&gt;METSMaC 200&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Las decisiones, por lo tanto, que se tomen sobre cuál va a ser la metodología a utilizar con el alumnado cobran una importancia vital. El referente es, de nuevo, la enseñanza de idiomas. La enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera aportaría, así, el andamiaje, y el área no lingüística los contenidos y el propósito. Sin embargo, debemos introducir un nuevo lenguaje, uno que nuestros alumnos y alumnas hace ya tiempo que hablan con soltura: el lenguaje de las TIC.&lt;br /&gt;  Son muchos los parámetros que hay que manejar para garantizar que la metodología que utilizamos es la correcta con el alumnado al que nos debemos. No pretendo en esta breve e-disertación, plantear un decálogo de la buena práctica docente (principalmente porque no soy quién!). Pero sí reflexionar sobre algunos de los aspectos que pueden ser generalizables a las áreas no lingüístcas y que pueden influir en el éxito del área en sí y en aprendizaje del inglés.&lt;br /&gt;  En la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras siempre hemos tenido claro que el fin último es que el alumno sea capaz de comunicarse. Siempre se ha hecho mucho hincapié en que se debe reducir el TTT (Teacher Talking Time) para garantizar que se aumente el STT. Hemos ido generando una batería de actividades (algunas con más éxito que otras) para practicar las destrezas, formas de presentación de tópicos, estrategias para aumentar el tempo de la clase si es a primera hora y los queremos motivar para que participen, o disminuirlo si vienen del recreo (más de uno sé que han tenido la sensación) o si es viernes a última hora; actividades que motivan al alumnado porque, en muchos casos, abordan de forma muy lúdica, aspectos que, por otro lado, son bastante aburridos. Todo esto dirigido a que alumnado produzca. El uso de las estrategias para explotar un texto escrito que aporta la enseñanza de idiomas, no tiene precio para un área como historia.&lt;br /&gt;   Pero siempre nos ha faltado un propósito significativo. Hasta ahora era aprender inglés por el mero hecho de aprender inglés. Para muchos es suficiente (muchos hemos tenido éxito en el aprendizaje de idiomas), pero perdemos a aquellos a los que les encanta la biología pero no el aprendizaje de idiomas. Aquí entran en juego de nuevo los beneficios de la adquisición.&lt;br /&gt;   La formación del profesorado, por lo tanto, forma parte intrínseca del proyecto. No sólo del profesorado de áreas no lingüísticas. Los y las docentes de inglés nos enfrentamos a una realidad completamente distinta a la que estábamos acostumbrados. Tenemos un hueco importante en esta metodología, pero tenemos que cambiar perspectivas.&lt;br /&gt;   Uno de los campos en donde se podría traer muchos cambios cualitativos  es la formación en TIC. Los recursos que pone a disposición de los y las docentes la Web, no tienen precio. A algún &lt;a href="http://www.google.es/search?q=blogfesores&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:es-ES:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a"&gt;blogfesor &lt;/a&gt;oí, que no es verdad que el alumnado no lea. Todo lo contrario. Leen más que nunca, pero textos que nunca hemos considerado, de alguna manera, dignos. Desde el uso del blog al uso de plataformas de teleformación, pasando por las actividades tipo &lt;a href="http://www.isabelperez.com/happy/tenses/exercises/compre_pr_simple.htm"&gt;hot potatoes&lt;/a&gt; y un larguísimo etcetera, la World Wide Web (hemos perdido un poco la sensación de vértigo que da el concepto) nos proporciona &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TODO &lt;/span&gt;lo que podamos necesitar para nuestro aula de lenguas o &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;CUALQUIER &lt;/span&gt;área no lingüística.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-5348607004922355340?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/5348607004922355340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=5348607004922355340' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5348607004922355340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/5348607004922355340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2007/10/blog-post.html' title='COUNT CALCULA or teaching through the Web'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-5196239841891279558</id><published>2007-10-22T21:03:00.001Z</published><updated>2007-10-22T21:07:35.471Z</updated><title type='text'>Sami Joik</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param value="http://youtube.com/v/eaitEJidUs0" name="movie"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/eaitEJidUs0" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After going to Rovaniemi, I've felt rally attracted by sami culture, and music.

Third day in this fantastic place. We almos got to the core of CLIL this morning (no hands on yet). Big issue today was multi-inteligences and learning styles. Ahí es nada! Really nice ideas been exchanged with mates during debates and revealing input from David and Tuula. "Not a sage on the stage but a guide on the side" could act as a moto of today's session. Then we went out for a "CLIL ORIENTEERING SESSION" with students from University who are studying "coaching" through CLIL methodology. &lt;a href="http://maps.google.es/maps?f=q&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;q=ousnavaara&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=66.500909,25.757618&amp;amp;spn=0.015332,0.058365&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=14&amp;amp;om=1"&gt;Ousnavaara &lt;/a&gt;hill (high enough to be a hill? I don't know, sorry about that) was the place. Incredibly beautiful experience. We went for a relatively long walk throught the forest and both our leaders made our journey even more entertaining translating signs for us and naming the trees and berries we came across (for somebody who barely knows the difference between trees and bushes, that's a heck of a lot). Didn't see bears nor raindeers (not yet), though we did see the berries they left behind, sme-lly-berries, they called them. Didn't dare try them. We got to really nice cottage, where we were welcomed with a warm cinnamon scented beverage. It was not very cold outside but the drink was really comforting. There we met Rudolf. He used to be so elegant in his antler! He was tasty though!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-4910715417417004275?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/4910715417417004275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=4910715417417004275' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/4910715417417004275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/4910715417417004275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2007/09/it-was-nice-having-rudolf-for-dinner.html' title='IT WAS NICE HAVING RUDOLF FOR DINNER'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/Rvl4IkQJwNI/AAAAAAAAAAk/71d8qwo--zs/s72-c/rovaniemi+031.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-8998829388732985349</id><published>2007-09-24T18:56:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:21:16.929Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='COMENIUS CLIL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FINLAND'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><title type='text'>HOW ARE YOU, EUROCLILIANS, DOING</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/RvgX0EQJwLI/AAAAAAAAAAU/tEBTo2UElCU/s1600-h/rovaniemi+018.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/RvgX0EQJwLI/AAAAAAAAAAU/tEBTo2UElCU/s320/rovaniemi+018.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113863560141324466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/RvgU50QJwKI/AAAAAAAAAAM/giik7qxdOpE/s1600-h/rovaniemi+017.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/RvgU50QJwKI/AAAAAAAAAAM/giik7qxdOpE/s320/rovaniemi+017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113860360390688930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've had a long day of work. After a nice warm up activity, where we learnt some of our names (not very good at it my self, but successful enough, I think). What is a good training session without a find-someone-who type of activity? Nice and conforting. We dealt with what's happening (and what has happened) in Europe, mainly, regarding CLIL methodology. Vogotsky and Piaget are also around Finland, active folks, aren't they? Team Teaching was also mentioned. I'm not going to go through all the thing (don't panic). Just a quick review. Conclussions: apart from "Finland is an pedagogical paradise," we've seen the whys for using CLIL. Motivation (TT and Ss), Cognitive sensitivity, ... normal evolution of English teaching.&lt;br /&gt;It is nice to feel that, down there, we are part of Europe, some how.&lt;br /&gt;Both David Marsh and Tuula Asikainen are making us feel at home, here.&lt;br /&gt;See ya all very soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3776383117318198124-8998829388732985349?l=asergioperez.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/feeds/8998829388732985349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3776383117318198124&amp;postID=8998829388732985349' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/8998829388732985349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3776383117318198124/posts/default/8998829388732985349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asergioperez.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-are-you-euroclilians-doing.html' title='HOW ARE YOU, EUROCLILIANS, DOING'/><author><name>Sergio Pérez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06767411875945493925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/SYLZAxISlKI/AAAAAAAAAEw/7yISf8_koqU/S220/SERGIO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5Alv_TJ3EW4/RvgX0EQJwLI/AAAAAAAAAAU/tEBTo2UElCU/s72-c/rovaniemi+018.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776383117318198124.post-1909093866279543884</id><published>2007-09-23T19:01:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-06-10T12:21:39.728Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='COMENIUS CLIL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FINLAND'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EICLE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLIL'/><title type='text'>HOW CLIL IS IT IN ROVANIEMI?</title><content type='html'>Arrived at Rovaniemi at something like 16:00 (took the plane from Las Palmas at 2:55).

Los objetivos son, de momento, familiarizarnos con las distintas herramientas del Blog. Hasta no conocer qué se puede hacer, es muy difícil planificar la enseñanza en base a un Blog (que quizás sea mi objetivo a largo plazo, no estoy muy seguro).
