Outcomes

To be done by all

Web page and 5 blogs linked to it: Student blog on when they felt anxious, were not interested in the class, or failed in a task - with a detailed explanation of what they were thinking at that moment. What other factors outside the class might influence their feelings that way? Specific things they didn’t like in a class - does the teacher speak quickly? Does he give them enough time to answer? Does he write on the blackboard? Is his behaviour inappropriate in students’ minds? The same can be done for successful experiences.) Teacher blog / self-evaluation diary in which they write about particularly good or bad. What went wrong / well? What factors contributed to that? Our own personal situation? Our health? The time of the day? The number of students? The topic? The discipline? Etc

A link to the project webpage will be added on each school’s website to disseminate the activities and mobilities.
