Boosting a Sense of Entrepreneurship in Your Students Course

Role of a teacher in the classroom and in a Moodle course

The role of the classroom teacher is to manage the classroom in a manner that meets the individual need of each student in the class. This includes promoting learning and activities, using a variety of teaching approaches. 

In a Moodle course technologies are mediators between students and teacher. ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways: by increasing learner motivation and engagement by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills and by enhancing teacher training. I think that a Moodle course makes the learning processes easier and more interesting and modern media education cannot be imagined without technologies and e-learning methods.

Student engagement

Students are engaged when they are attracted to their work, persist in despite challenges and obstacles, and take visible delight in accomplishing their work.

In my opinion there are five indicators for student engagement at school:

1. the level of school challenge
2. active and collaborative learning
3. interaction
4. enriching education experiences
5. a supporting learning environment.

I also think that another important step is when teachers clearly articulate learning criteria and provide students with clear, immediate and constructive feedback.

Final Thoughts on Open eTwinning

What have you learnt from the course?

This course taught me the value of collaborative and cooperative work. It's not an easy achievable  goal, but a responsable teacher must be able to take up the challenge.

And so I adopt the suggestion that

"COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING,

KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS,

WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS"

Henry Ford

What are the positive aspects of the MOOC?

I took part in many MOOC and I can say that this course has its positive aspects such as moderators (Cristina, Yolanda and Diego), methodology, collaboration, as well as materials.

In particular I have appreciated P2P activity, a real opportunity of professional growth.

It is really about identity, diversity, cultural confrontation, in the best sense of the word.

What are the negative aspects of the MOOC?

I strain to see negative aspects, really!


What would you suggest to improve it?

I would like to suggest to carry on like this in the future, keeping up the pressure on this issue in an eTwinning group on platform.
