Cooperative learning

This is the title of the workshop that some teachers were attending the first two days of this week, and yes, you are right, I was one of them.
It´s been great, we had a good time at the same time that we discovered new ways of teaching, and new ways of learning. The most important feature of the method is that students get their marks increased if they follow the instructions and work properly, and it is fairly easy as well as quite amusing. It is based on cooperation, sharing tasks, respect for classmates, oneself and of course, the teacher.
The aspect of the classroom has changed a little, Bea y Luísma have helped me and I think they have done a nice job. You´ll check next day. I sincerely hope you enjoy the new classes and get the most of it. What really matters is that you raise your marks and we want to help you do that.
Have a look at this video and leave a comment, please :)

  2. Hi Paula I`m sorry to write you so late! Today I heard the change to english class and at the beginning I could not believe it!, because you always try to separate us for not to speak!
    After reading and seeing your entry I think that the new method can help us but only if we use the groups to learn with other boys! I`m not sure that it can be good but we not lost anything by trying! So I feel like learning this new form of class and I hope that it can help us to raise our marks! Bye Paula, see you tomorrow!

  4. Hi Paula! Sorry I can not haver written before. I like the format of your blog and the activities we perform are very interesting and we can learn much from it.
    With regard to the group work I think is a good way to learn to work together and learn from our colleagues and of course help to integrate to other students. To be a good idea.
    ¡ CONGRATULATION !

  7. hi paula! I think that the new method of English's class is great! We can learn not only of you, of our partners also.

    possibly this method not work in my class because my partners are charlatans, but it's a pain. I'm sure that we can learn more of this way.

    personally I enjoy English classes so. the other way was boring.

    we see on monday. xx

  8. I think that this is a good idea but, in the two classes we've had with this method, I haven’t seen result. I have noticed that this new method is a bit discriminatory for students who don’t know English because if you fall into a group in which they don’t know English there is nothing to do. None of component knows what to do and will spend the time without being able to do anything and on top of that, you get bad marks. I hope that the next changing of classmates are less random and put students who don't know with others who knows at the same table. Hopefully that it will be useful. Best wishes

  9. I saw the video two weeks ago, but i don't know why i didn't write anything! The video is interesting, and easy to understand. In my opinion this method is a little bit complicated for people of our age,but is funny to try another way to learn more!
