The aulABP-PBL

Sometimes we say that is very difficult to change if it depends only on us or if our surrounding remains as usual. When a teacher has his room, like the last 50 years; his tools, like 30 years and his.... for ever normally it's quite rare to be tempted to change. But imagine that all tools related with this frontal teaching disappear. From the moment you enter in aulABP you don't have neither whiteboard nor teacher table nor fix place for students. The only thing you have is a big room with one IWB, some furniture that students can adapt to work in pairs, small groups, big groups. Together with this layout, of course, each student has his own computer what's means that the situation is out of control totally. Then you, as a teacher, maybe start thinking that: "I HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING". Isn't in this r possible to enter in this classroom thinking that I can do the same as I did until now. NO more!! Is time to teach in a completely different way, using other strategies and probably a new methodology as well. In short time you won't be a teacher to became a coach how will be together with students on it's learning process, helping them and letting them learn as much as they want. AulABP is at the very beginning as now is moment for student to define which layout they would like. Using 3D programs they are developing this part and from other side teachers we're working in methodology and tools. It seams that working with Project Based Learning (PBL) we can achieve this goal but if we combine this methodology with IWB and the software and devices that go together then the success is even closer. Nowadays it's easy to find IWB software that let you to get an instant feedback from students. Tools like smart cameras let you to show not only printed object but models in 3D. The good combination of layout, tools and methodology will change in the near future the way of teaching and what's more important, the way of learning. The following videos show the current situation of our classroom and the space we want to fill with new ideas and strategies.
