Uns cantos enlaces para pasar o verán e para preparar o novo curso.
Penso que estamos no momento do cambio. O curriculo por competencias báscias é unha oportunidade para re-avaliar como traballamos.
A actividade xa ten datas. Aquí tedes a reseña no Diario de Ferrol

O CFR analizará a visión europea do traballo por competencias
REDACCIÓN > FERROL
A implantación da Lei Orgánica de Educación (LOE), que entrou en vigor no presente curso, trouxo consigo novidades no sistema educativo. O novo concepto de “competencias” como eixo fundamental do traballo docente é unha delas. Para falar deste tema, o CFR de Ferrol organizou un curso que comezará a finais de maio.
Baixo o título “Unha visión europea do traballo por competencias”, a actividade formativa programada polo Centro de Formación e Recursos de Ferrol -adicado á formación do profesorado da cidade e comarca- pretende achegar a experiencia que nesta nova forma de entender a educación, baseada nas devanditas “competencias” teñen outros países como Portugal ou Gales. Así, o curso contará coa intervención de dous relatores lusos, Maria Leonor da Graça Saraiva, profesora na Escola Superior de Educaçao-Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal e Paulo Feytor Pinto, profesor de lingua, asesor de formación do profesorado e Presidente da Dirección da Asociación de Profesores de Portugués dende 1997.
Tamén intervirá na cita Jeff Moses, coordinador de apoio ao desenvolvemento das competencias en centros educativos e do novo bacharelato WBQ en Gales. Traballa directamente con centros para desenvolver metodoloxías de competencias básicas. O convidado galés presentará en Ferrol o programa “Getting Started”, un kit de estratexias para introducir o traballo por tarefas nas programacións das aulas. O curso terá lugar os días 21, 22 e 23 de maio e 11 e 12 de xuño, finalizando o prazo de inscrición o vindeiro 15 de maio. A actividade, que como é habitual terá lugar en horario de tarde, está dirixida ao profesorado de todos os niveis e áreas educativas, segundo informou o CFR.
Metodoloxía > O traballo por competencias é unha nova forma de entender a docencia, “é a forma en que as persoas conseguen mobilizar todos os seus recursos persoais -cognitivos, afectivos, sociais, etc.- para acadar o éxito na resolución dunha tarefa nun contexto definido”, apuntan dende o centro de formación do profesorado ferrolán.
As oito competencias básicas que o alumno ten que adquirir ao longo da súa formación para ser capaz de desenvolverse ante os problemas da vida cotiá son a matemática, comunicación lingüística, coñecemento e interacción co mundo físico, información e competencia dixital, social e cidadá, competencia cultural e artística, para aprender a aprender e autonomía e iniciativa persoal.
O sitio web http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/teachingandlearning/library/Languages/ da unha visión da aprendizaxe das linguas ,(evidentemente dende a punto de vista dos centros educativos Ingléses) que nos pode ser interesante especialmente nos centros que intentan integra os departamentos de inglés e francés como seminario de linguas estranxeiras.
Ofrecenos uns exemplos de actividades e do que internet ofrecenos para desenvolver a nosa profesión.
A resaltar e o caso da páxina web da BBC The French Connection pois ofrecenos exemplos de Francés no mundo pero tamén coas referencias en inglés que poden servirnos de exemplo.
Moitas veces recurro a sitios en inglés que falan de España pois teñen a vantaxe de que son textos origiáis falando do mundo Español. Os famosos "lesson plans" poden ser adapatados ós nosos alumnos.
Presento aquí o artigo orixinal editado. (en inglés)
Modern Foreign Languages: harnessing the power of the Web
As the National Languages Strategy (NLS) emphasises, learning languages from an early age enhances the professional and personal opportunities of every child, as well as enriching the cultural and commercial life of the nation. However, as Education Secretary Charles Clarke noted when announcing it, the vast majority of students discontinue language learning in the later years of secondary school.
Beginning to involve children in language learning at a much earlier age and working as creatively as possible to maintain their interest once they reach secondary school have therefore been recognised as key to reversing this situation.
Language-learning for life The teaching of languages gets a head start with children under the age of 10, who are naturally receptive, curious, attentive to novelty, have few inhibitions about making mistakes and can learn through the medium of simple, childish activities. When teachers use the Internet, even the youngest pupils can discover songs and games in French and German. As teenagers, with language skills acquired almost before they knew it, they will think nothing of emailing penpals in Verona, visiting the virtual Prado museum or chatting with fellow Inter Milan fans. Computer literacy and foreign language literacy are now both life skills designated in our school system. If schoolchildren are taught early language proficiency there is every hope that speaking Spanish or Italian will become as natural to them as surfing the Web.
What's on the Web and how do I find it? The Internet provides an immense, sometimes daunting, amount of material that can be used in language teaching. You may be looking for activities for planning your own classes, some reassurance about contemporary teaching styles, a ready-made lesson plan or a special idea for a project. There are various ways of getting the information whether you are hunting specifically or just waiting to be inspired. All access to the Internet information highlighted in this article is free.
Where to click first Teachernet's A to Z list of Useful Sites is a good place to start if you are new to resource-finding on the Internet (you will find the Useful Sites button on the left-hand panel of our homepage). Click and browse by running through the alphabetical list to find, say, the Association for Language Learning site, or put in a search term such as 'language' or 'resource' for results like The Teacher Network, or Schoolzone, which are general websites for teachers, including news, jobs and language teaching resources.
Some sites will offer links to other sites where language teaching resources can be found. The Centre for Information on Language Teaching and Research (CILT) is probably the first stop for these in the UK. It contains the Virtual Language Centre, Lingu@net, which has links to a huge selection of websites for languages teachers, plus information sheets, guidance for using ICT in teaching languages, an online forum and many other features. Another recommended site with material expressly tied in to the national curriculum is Modern Foreign Languages.
When searching independently, enter search terms like 'primary language learning', or 'German fairytales' in a search engine like Google. A broader range of information in other languages can be found by using the international versions of search engines, for example German Google, or Yahoo for France or Spain.
STRONG>Primary language teachers: Internet for information, support and ideas
The National Advisory Centre for Early Language Learning (NACELL) website states that 'one of the aims of foreign language teaching is to help children understand that their mother tongue is not the only means of human communication and the best way to do this is to make the foreign language taught an ordinary part of the child's life at school'.
The NACELL site is designed to equip teachers to meet this challenge. Publishing the latest educational research in the area it provides an email forum for primary Modern Foreign Language teachers, a schools network with pilot schemes and a teaching resources section. It is currently offering links to sites with Christmas vocabulary, songs and traditions in many languages.
Everyday and fun activities in a foreign language help to move the context of communication outside the classroom. Taking the register, and collecting dinner money can be conducted in Welsh or Arabic. Or you can learn, or even contact, about real schools in other countries through their websites. For French, La Ronde des Ecoles de l'Ain sur le Net unites 40 schools of all shapes and sizes.
The Teachingideas site is good for practical activities and language-learning games, plus links to other useful sites.
Secondary language resources: bilingual learning The Nuffield Enquiry recommended studying a curriculum subject through the medium of a foreign language. Called bilingual learning, this new methodology has been found to raise standards of attainment in curriculum subjects like History, Art or Music as well as improving and integrating a pupil's foreign language capability. From the dozens of wonderful international websites which would lend themselves to this, here are just a few ideas:
Spring Day in Europe is a site which invites European schools to register and debate the construction of a European constitution. It can be used to engage with questions of Citizenship and Geography in the target language and also provides a huge database for contacting European school websites.
In addition to the chance to visit at a distance, museum sites often contain educationally directed material. See what's on offer at the Louvre and the Munich Pinakothek.
Music sites, which sometimes include audio clips, can range from the Berlin Philharmonic to Spanish MTV. Pupils could also send emails to sites which answer their questions about favourite artists.
If you want to disguise a more serious debate about culture, cartoons in a foreign language will encourage the shyest teenager to share their opinions. Click here to see The Simpsons in French.
Online lesson plans in foreign languages As well as fuelling your own creativity, the Internet can supply structured language teaching material. Some places to look for ready-made online lesson plans are TeacherNet's Resource Materials area, and at the BBC Schools site as well as learn.co.uk.
Off to work Last year the European Year of Languages showed that career information about languages is still geared towards the traditional areas of teaching, translating and interpreting. For pupils already thinking about university and vocational training, scanning a list of Careers Utilising Foreign Languages will challenge preconceived notions about what kind of jobs you can do in a language other than your mother tongue. The Languages National Training Organisation is a prime resource for detailed careers information and guidance; its information-packed website has case studies and downloadable factsheets. Now, when a young adult is confident and can communicate in a foreign language, they will have not just the Web but the world at their fingertips.
Brush up your own language skills Finally, the Internet can be used for your own benefit too. The following two websites contain selected news articles to help you brush up on your language skills and learn something about the respective countries at the same time.
The BBC's French Connection looks at how French is spoken outside of France and what the language represents to the more than 50 francophone countries around the world. It allows you to download articles as text or audio files, as does the EducationGuardian's language learning section. Here, articles from Spain, France, Germany and Italy are all followed by a glossary to help broaden your vocabulary.

Pode traducirla páxina a francés utilizando os servizos de http://babel.altavista.com/, simplemente, escolles a lingua orixinal o de destino, e listo. Moi útil, ainda que non sei en que medida servenos.
Outro vídeo para traballar cos novos medios na aula. Este video ven cos seus subtitulos para poder traballar secuencia na aula tanto como material de apoio como actividades de listening.
Tamén e bastante divertido a busca de información sobre onde vivmos. Pode inspirar un traballo multidisciplinar para buscar os nosos raíces.
Dr Nick Barrett and Dr Jonathon Foyle are called in to investigate the hidden and secret past of a 1920s suburban semi-detached house.
Owners Yimmy and Robert want to find out what the strange concrete structure in their garden is; they suspect it might be an Anderson Shelter. A strange arch over the road looks like front of a house, but does it relate to their house?
Hidden House History sees archive specialist Barrett and architectural historian and archaeologist Foyle called in to solve the hidden history of a house, no matter how big or small, old or new.
Se queredes incluir os subtitulos no propio video para traballar con el na aula, terán que usar software como o movie maker de microfist incluido no sistema operativo Windows

Finalizados os cursos que se celebraban na EOI Ferrol, a reflexión inicial é que foron un éxito. En xeral, todos os asistentes sacarón proveito das actividades e pensan utilizalos no seu labor profesional. Como xa estamos inmersos na elaboración do plan de formación 2008 - 2009 a saber que a EOI fixo propostas para diversas actividades para o curso. Informaremos do proceso.
The Learning Resources site offers web-delivered instruction using current and past CNN San Francisco bureau and CBS 5 - KPIX (CBS Broadcasting) news stories. Western/Pacific LINCS (part of the National Institute for Literacy's LINCS Project), and Literacyworks has partnered with news agencies to develop an online literacy site that benefits all learners and instructors. Each module includes the full text of each story and interactive activities to test comprehension. The learner can choose to read the text, listen to the text, and view a short video clip of the story. Each module is designed for ease of use so the learner can use it independently. The instructor can also incorporate any story into class activities and lesson plans.
Unha nova asociación europea para o desenvolvemento de materiais CLIL está despoñible para todos nos. Aquí tedes a comunicación en a lingua do imperio británico. En resumo ofrecenos materiais e estratéxias para materias clil.
Aquí tedes o texto en inglés.
"NEW EUROPEAN PROJECT A new LLP (Lifelong Learning Programme) project related to CLIL has been started recently. The project is called CLIL Cascade Network (CCN) and will be co-ordinated by Rovaniemi Municipal Federation of Education, REDU,(FI). Its aim is to consolidate local, regional and national network activities at a European level, so as to accelerate development of CLIL teacher competences and qualifications, localized competence building and regional competence building. CLIL CCN rises out as an answer to identified needs for European CLIL, namely: · creation of teacher training and professional development programmes; · teacher and school capacity-building and networking; · co-ordination of national resources by which to create a European evidence-base for CLIL; · consolidating evidence, quality assurance benchmarking, strategy planning, dissemination and valorisation; · inter-linking with regional, minority and less widely used languages through consolidation of previous project outcomes relevant to all languages. The CCN website is envisaged as high quality and user-friendly; it will include facilities for information, news items, newsletters, key documentation, Q&A response service, member registration and database, but also be built with facilities for Reusable Learning Resources (RLR) and managed asynchronous discussion (multilingual). This results in a tool which enables teachers to download and reload exemplars of multilingual materials, identify teachers in other countries who follow the same CLIL objectives so as to set up opportunities for exchange, networking, and school projects on a pan-European level. An International CLIL Conference will be organized by the European CLIL Cascade Network (CCN), The Estonian Language Immersion Centre, and the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) in Tallinn (Estonia), on 24-25 October 2008 under the name CLIL Fusion: Multilingual Mindsets in a Multicultural World Building quality learning communities. More information both on CCN and the Conference available in www.clilconsortium.jyu.fi"
Como consecuencia da sobredose de formación TIC que levo no CFR nestes días amosarme unha curiosidade; un encerado dixital por menos de 60€????
Como?! Como?!, pero se costan mais de 1000€!!!!!
Votade unha ollada a estas páxinas pois amosan como facer un encerado interactivo co mando do Wii, a consola interactiva que todos regalamos os nosos fillos (e algún a se mesmo!).
Pode ser unha alternativa interesante para os que non temos encerados dixitais en todas a nosas aulas.
Todo o que necesitamos é un mando de Wii, unha conexión Bluetooth para o ordenador, un ordenador e un proxector dixital. Un lapi BIC e un pouco de coñecemento de electronica (o un/unha compañeir@ que sabe de electrónica)
