LEARNING TO CHANGE - CHANGE TO LEARN

Globalization and Professional Change 

Let your ideas flow!

During the INNOVATION lesson (05/03/2013) we have done some activities where the main point was let ideas flow from within. 

I have found quite interesting the 4 main steps to be “innovative” in a certain way. (FEEL – IMAGINE – DO – SHARE). Then, we can see that after sharing the innovation the changes promoted by it can be drastic (it is left the way to do something in order to do the same in a very different way) or progressive (it is still doing in the same way but introducing little changes). But the important thing here is that an innovation must be shared with the others in order to improve the aspects we would like to change through it. 

As you can observe in the following image there are lots of streets, avenues, roads, boulevards and so on that must be crossed and must be taken into account to make an innovation, or at least, to start being innovative.

In the COLLABORATION section (26/02/2013) we talked about what collaborative projects are and how these collaborative projects can be put into practice in real schools. From my point of view , it is necessary to make teachers aware and engage them to take part in international collaborative projects. As starting point our group has developed a project brochure called “LET’S BE REPRESENTATIVE IN OUR SONGS”. It can be found in the “Collaboration” section. 

To continue, I have uploaded a short video about etwinning. Althought it is in Spanish, the main idea is the following one: 

“The largest online community for collaborative projects between schools around Europe. Etwinning is an opportunity to cross the boundaries of the classroom. A place where ideas flow, where you can share your work, and where you can use new ICT tools”.
