Competence Demonstration - Digital Tools

Buscapé Family - 17/05/2015

We, as #VET3 students, received the task to develop our competence related to the usage of digital tools.

When we think about learning-doing it is necessary to “move our body” and try to show how the digital tools can help us during our teachers life!  There are differents digital tools available online, which are easy and free.

So, our family demonstrates in this post how teachers can use two (2) digital tools in pedagogical ways, wiki and instagram. Wiki is shown as experiences constructed with real learners. On the other hand, we constructed with instagram one example of how teachers can integrated it in their practie.

EXAMPLE 1: WIKI

Competences focused

• Use Portuguese sign language in scientific  text;
• Building  knowledge  in a digital collaborative environment;
• desing learning process in authentic learning environment utilizing wiki.

Teaching Approach:

• showing compentences should be achieve;
• Group formation;
• Flipped classroom strategy;
• Discussion and feedback;
• Follow the learning process

Assessment:

• The learner was evaluated according to the formative assessment design. When the period of self-study and groupwork went to the end, the teacher accessed the theme and gave online and in classroom feedback. It was possible to the learners demonstrate their development learning summarizing and prensent their knowledge about the topic.
• The digital tool wiki was used for the student as learning portfolio.

EXAMPLE 2 - INSTAGRAM

Theme: Landscape

At the first time, we tried to define some competences and skills, but we had some difficulties because we didn’t know exactly what’s the difference between them. So, we tried to work in another way. First of all, we defined the theme that we would propouse to the students learn about, and we tried to suggest some competences and skills to develop using Instagram as a learning digital tool. Again, we had problems. Each one of the Buscapé Family has one different and divergent concept about what is competence and skill. So, we couldn’t easily find a convergent point of view.

Competence/Skills focused

• building knowledge about Landscape as part of social richness.

Teaching Approach

• Create an account in Instagram App;
• Guiding the learners in how to use the app;
• Construct the #buscapevet3;
• Guide the student to take pictures of differents landscapes;

• Post some informations about Landscape on Instagram;
• Interaction between the students by comments in Instagram`s post;

Assessment

• Datas that the learners collected and the interaction according to the competence/skills focused.

Below, there is all post from our group about the theme worked.

P.S.

After the task done, we realized the necessity to be clear the ability and skills to reach the goals of the activity and define the criteria to assess.
