Working little by little

By Lucy Helena Alves

I have had some problems to aplly my Development Work in my school. I was with a lot of ideas, but  someones I couldn’t practice in the beginning.

          Then, initially it was necessary to organize the project to reality that we had, because the idea it was to relate the digital tools in classroom practices. It was impossible to work with some digital tools, such as  Padlet and Kahoot, which need Internet. 

  At first time, it was a little bit difficult, however those difficulties didn't stop me to begin to development work (DW). The title’s Project is “Mídias Digitais X Educação:  perspectivas do mercado de trabalho para os jovens do século XXI”  (Digital Tools X Education: Job's Prospects for Teens in 21st Century). It has been development with three classes of the 3rd grade high school, in ECIT José Rocha Sobrinho, in Bananeiras town. 

         The principle was organized the Homegroups formation, which are responsible for mediating discussions about the issues and sharing experiences. The groups were composed of affinity and common interests. After that, we created a Fanpage where we’ll post some importante discussions with Homegroups.  

Some weeks later, my school recieve a digital library that help us with DW. The students collaborated a lot, and then it was possible to work with the another digital tool, Padlet.

The students, after viewing a video in the classroom about the relationship of English with the future professions, in addition to prior knowledge with the thematic and discussion, they made a post by Homegroup, in our first Padlet. As in the beginning we had no internet in school then, some  activities was made at home, but after the digital library, we could interacted and discussion with Homegroups in school. And it was very good  and we can see how the activity was interesting for them.
