Recent events

Last september our team participated in interesting events.
The first one was the TDC Plus , on September 18th.
Piri Szabó made a presentation called "Brain facts: Food for thought!", about new discoveries concerning the brain and the learning process. She also presented important facts regarding the differences between the female and male brains and its implications in the classroom.
Another interesting workshop was presented by Vinícius Nobre: "Beyond songs and games: Involving learners as a teaching strategy ". With simple and fun activities, such as the use of games as part of the planning, not only as entertainment, we can create a fun learning environment. With "hands on" activities he demonstrated how it is possible.
On September 25th, we attended another workshop by Vinicíus Nobre. This time the topic was about something that concerns teen's teachers: how can we keep them motivated to learn? Through simple, but effective activities, usually involving group work, games and music, we had interesting teaching experiences and a fun afternoon.
