Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday when I was googling to find any article about CLILs I found that:

http://edutec.rediris.es/Revelec2/Revelec16/PDF/Edutec_n16-Adell.pdf

The topic is Scavenger Hunt o Treasure Hunt, and apparently it’s a common methodology that allows acquiring knowledge and improving new technologies skills.

Luzon (2001) claimed three strengths of this method:

• -          Promotes the acquirement of knowledge.
• -          Improves the reading.
• -          Develops skills on search.

To use this method these are the steps. First of all, choose a topic and write didactic objectives, prepare the paper with the material, in the paper we should divide the information in four parts: introduction, questions, resources and “The Big Question”.

The third step is to make the groups, mixing all kind of students and at the end solve the case.

Some advices when you prepare this activity:

• -          We are preparing question to think, we are not interested in copy-paste answers.
• -          We give the links to the students and we give limited time.
• -          And it is essential explain how are we going to evaluate this activity.

The best teacher I´ve ever had

The best teacher I’ve ever had.

When I think about who would be the best teacher I´ve ever had, I should review all of them.

I don´t remember anything about my firsts teachers I only have loose ideas. I remember clearly one woman who was my teacher when I was 11; she was very strict woman, probably she continues being like that, but I know that she helped my class preparing us for secondary school.

In secondary school I hadn´t got any special teacher, probably I could stand out my math´s teacher, who always arrived smiling, but I can´t separate if I enjoy now this teacher for his subject or was his behavior special for all the class.

 When I arrived at the University all my teacher looked exactly the same, serious and very busy, however If I choose the bests teachers I´ve ever have I think immediately in two of them.

One of them, taught me labor law, and apparently it was a hard subject, and he made it easy, because he started every day with examples, and curious events related to the topic, and get anyone complained when we copied the theory.

The second one was an old man, he is just retired now, he arrived class smiling, and writing in the blackboard three tasks for the lesson. Probably it was a good class because we are around twenty or twenty five students, and we all of us spoke about the theme, and the teacher only asked questions for us guiding the argue. Probably it was the subject where we worked much but I learned a lot about managements and organization.
