THE GOAL MINDED TEACHER. UNIT 2

WEEK2- MISSION AND BADGE

We have finished the lesson plan of systems of equations. The original assignment – Solve a real word problem of systems of equations, must be transformed into a learning mission, so we are going to be creative and useful with a word problem which helps you to take money for the field trip in a fundraiser.

Here it is my link for my challenge:

Everybody likes rewards, so if the students do good they will receive this badge.

This is the digital badge I've created in http://www.makebadg.es/

REFLECTION

How will transforming an activity into a learning mission engage my students?
During this week our challenge has been find new ways to motivate our students. The first part has consisted on turning an activity into a Learning Mission, looking for engage our students and trying to observe a change in their work, simulating some type of game in groups. The winners will receive a badge, will increase their grades and the rest of the class will be proud of their work.

How can digital badges motivate my students?
The badge will help to stimulate and recover the demotivated students who normally don’t pay attention in class. They can show the award to their parents, teachers, and classmates and will be always visible in their folder or in a reserved part of the class for the winners of each new project.

THE GOAL MINDED TEACHER. UNIT 1

WEEK1- REFLECTION

 

When I find this MOOC I directly decide to enroll because is not very common find this in English for teachers who don’t teach the entire subject in English, so the first week is over and I have successfully completed the challenges, Initial questionnaire, show the avatar, pinpointing my location and introduce myself and write the reflection of this first week in my blog https://dibujojosejuan.blogspot.com.

I'm a technical drawing and math teacher at Sa Blanca Dona School in Ibiza, Spain. I have been teaching arts and crafts in English and math in a bilingual project. It is not an easy task, because the English level of the students is not so good, and it is always a good excuse, but it is true.

At Facebook you can see my photo and I have created an avatar too. 

As I read in the objectives, I would like transform my teaching and as a partner write, achieve the goal of fun and learn every day.

I will continue this week with more activities.
