Team: Students age: Lesson title: Subjects: Objectives:

WORK PLAN: Activities 1 Teacher asks students how energy is produced Teacher shows students a video clip which focuses on the threats the burning fossil fuels poses to the humankind. Teacher asks whether they have found the video frightening and why. Teacher asks whether the situation is similar in their city/region Teacher Introduces the topic and the aims of the lessons Students brainstorm what alternative sources of energy will/can be used. They write down their answers on pieces of paper that go on the blackboard. Teacher shows students Pictures presenting renewable sources of energy and students match them to what they brainstormed. Pictures can also be used to elicit answers if students have got stuck Each group does research on one type of alternative energy and presents to the class pros and cons of its use. Teacher asks students to come up with 3 best sources or perhaps rate the sources. Teacher makes use of the pictures and Pieces of paper, felt-tip pens a video clip Tools and materials Time 3-5

words to illustrate the classs preferences 7 Teacher sums up the class and gives homework. Students should collaborate to prepare a presentation/animation explaining what sources of energy (for what purposes) will be used in their city in 2020

Alternative homework: teacher creates a wallwisher and gives Ss the address of it. Then Ss search at home information on Internet and write their conclusions and attachments(e.g. video clips) about energy sources. During the next lesson a teacher presents results their research. It would be interesting to share this wallwisher with Ss from other countries.

Table 1

Student centered-classes focused on each student's needs, abilities, interests, and learning styles, placing the teacher as a facilitator of learning. This classroom teaching method acknowledges student voice as central to the learning experience for every learner, and differs from many other learning methodologies.

Learning networks learning in which information and communication technology is used to promote connections: between one learner and other learners, between learners and tutors; between a learning community and its learning resources.

Virtual teachers the course is not taught in a classroom face-toface but through some substitute mode that can be associated with classroom teaching. That means people do not have to go to the real class to learn.

Mobile learning
with the use of mobile devices, learners can learn from various locations. The objective of M-learning is to provide the learner the ability to assimilate learning anywhere and at any time.

Key terms: Goals and objectives:

Goals This lesson should provide to us a perspective about what tools will we use in classroom in the future. Also, this lesson will allow to explore all tools that we can use. The students and teachers will discover the most appealing device for teaching. Objectives Be able to find an appropriate tool to match any specific task Know how you use a specific tool Evaluate and compare different tools Describe advantages of this tools Competences/skills: Creative thinking Collaborative work Planning Real world awareness and intervention Standards Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.

Technology Operations and Concepts Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Creativity and critical thinking Students are able to distinguish between assumptions that are justifiable in context and those that are not. students are able to think of many, varied, or unusual ideas, or use their creative thinking abilities. Integration with other subjects: Tools: Basic knowledge of computers (ICT) Any subject of their curricula - planning a class with ICT tools Language studies (foreign / mother tongue) Web browser Computer with Internet connection and screen projector device for presenter Other high tech devices they are used to handle (maybe beyond teachers knowledge) ie. smart phones, games boxes, mp3/4, interactive whiteboard.. video, website, photos. iPods/iPads/tablets/cell phones/x-Box and other games, ...

Learning materials (e.g. video clips, podcasts, websites, photos, text books etc.) Teaching methods:

Constructivist and collaboratives educational paradigms Here are some advices for the teacher:

1. Make sure your presentation is dynamic and engages the students. 2. Keep moving so students have something to watch. 3. Try not to get stuck in a corner. 4. Make eye contact with as many students as possible. 5. Use positive rather than negative language 6. Limit the amount you read from the board, screen or script. 7. Add your own words and character. 8. Encourage the students to contribute every idea they possibly can! 9. When you want your students to be fluent, flexible, original, or to elaborate, work very hard to refrain from any evaluation or judgment of ideas. You will be able to analyze the ideas later.

The Future School - School in 2020 WORK PLAN We propose 2 paths (to be chosen according to the class characteristics) - a compromise between both is also possible): PATH # 1 Orientation and motivation Focus and Review Take time to introduce yourself and share a little about your background and your interest in the topic. Next, poll the audience to find out what they already know about this topic. Then, share a little about what you will be covering just enough to peak their interest. Objectives Tell the audience: Today, we are going to be learning how to find a proper tool for a specific activity and how to use it Activities Teacher creates a class Google Site and adds students as collaborators. Also, teacher gives a reflexion theme: ( for exemple: Where/what for can we use the Google Earth tool?) In teams or individually, students create pages in the class Site with a solution.

TEAM M Time

10 minutes

20 minutes

Homework / independent work

Arrange students into groups of 4-5 and hand them to research about one tool. Each group will represent a different tool. This tool can be a real one or imaginary. Ask each group to invent a name that represents their tool and its utility.

50 minutes

Activities

As a class, discuss each tool and ask the class to determine whether: 1. Is it real? 2. Is it also applicable in classroom in 2020? 3. Offer a demonstration of its use in learning a subject of their own choice. When you are analyzing, comparing, or evaluating ideas, be certain to keep a clear, sharp focus on what youre trying to do or develop using those tools. PATH # 2

Orientation and motivation

Focus and Review Before the class (previous homework), ask them to bring to the classroom every tech device they have and usually handle inside/outside school The main idea is to make them feel important and experts on the subject - that will be the key word for their performance Objectives From their personal practical knowledge, ss will be led to develop, first, their more theoretical knowledge (researching) and then to develop their imagination and creativity. Doing this they also learn how to use those tools in their Personal Learning (at school level and a precious Long life Learning competence).

10 minutes

Activities

Face-to-face group work (brainstorming): ask them what do they know about the potentialities of the devices their group members brought to the classroom - for instance by starting collaboratively a wiki article (one page for each tool, made by a group of 2 or 3 ss) - they can draw a mind map and paste it in the wiki.

40 minutes

Homework / independent work

Virtual group work (wiki writing): ask them to create a school activity where they can use one of the tools theyre working about in the wiki (try to have so many different tools as possible in the whole class) - itd be better if you give them a planning template to organize their work.

(this may be preceded by a live assessment discussion in
the classroom - co and hetero- assessment and activity evaluation as well)
