RAT analysis

I have chosen the RAT technology to analyse: this is my mind map:

Engaging students

One of the attractions of presenting the activity to do as a mission is to present the activity in an unusual way so that it can appear as more interesting. The presentation of the activity to be done starts by a little presentation and includes different links to begin working with in order to create interest and encourage students to continue with a further investigation.

The way of recognising their activity with a badge is also motivating because students will be willing to incorporate as many badges as possible to their portfolio.

This is the badge I have designed for my mission about women in art.

In the following document, you can find the criteria to obtain the badge Badge criteria

My mission

In the following presentation you can find my proposal for a mission to learn about women artists.

Women in Arts de Maite Fresnillo

Introducing myself

Here I am, during a trip to Warsaw with my students. I am not a specialist with emojis so this attempt has supposed a new challenge for me, does it count as a goal? I hope so.

I must admit that this is one of the few pictures of myself I could find on my mobile: I don´t like to appear in photos in general and I don´t take selfies: this is there because somebody else took it and shared with me. I have added three elements that are essential in my life: I adore books; I can define myself as an impenitent reader who can sacrifice hours of sleeping to keep going involved in the pages of a book. Other items I identify with are trips: I love traveling, especially to know places where I can discover things related to Art, other of my great passions. Finally, I included the smiley because I am always ready for fun and I can laugh until I burst into tears.

Introduction

Hello, all participants in the Goal Minded Teacher course or anyone who can come across this blog. I have opened this new diary to go collecting the experiences of this course I am starting with a bit later than I would have liked to.

I am Maite and I work as a History and Art History teacher in an institute in the Basque Country, in Northern Spain. I love introducing innovations in my lessons and I must admit that my practice nowadays has little to see what the way of teaching we had when I arrived in a classroom for the first time more than twenty years ago. New technologies have revolutionized our daily practice and, what is more, I expect it to change dramatically in the near future once we can have all our students equipped with their laptops.

I adore changes; I cannot imagine myself working with the same materials for life or using the same techniques. I am ready to assume challenges and even when I am aware of the risks involved in it, I hope some of them will be successful.

I hope we will enjoy and learn a lot together.
