piccoli progressi quotidiani....

Ogni giorno un piccolo progresso....
oggi ho imparato come inserire una lista di miei link in questo blog, oltre ad aver scoperto l'esistenza e le potenzialità di Google Docs, uno strumento che cercherò di utilizzare anche con i miei studenti appena possibile!
Imparare è sempre una grandissima gioia!

Si comincia!

Si comincia...
un po' in ritardo sulla tabella di marcia perchè i tempi di lavoro a scuola non sono sempre i più felici, ma con tutto l'entusiasmo di chi ha una gran voglia di imparare!
Dall'inizio di questo learning event ho già conosciuto gente nuova e scopero l'esistenza di strumenti informatici per l'insegnamento...non vedo l'ora di scoprire cos'altro mi attende!
A prestissimo,
Frau Spinello
