"Seven Complex Lessons for Education in the Future" by Edgar Morin

Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future by Edgar Morin (2002)

It is a useful book for us to think about different perspectives of a lesson and the participation of students in it.

I really liked chapter VI about “Understanding each other” in which the author argues about egocentrism, ethnocentrism, sociocentrism, and the teaching obstacles to understanding.

This is a video in which the French philosopher and sociologist internationally recognised for his work on complexity and "complex thought" argues about the education in the future.

Now, take a look at this mind map about Edgar Morin´s book we´ve done during our ICT lessons. It was created on Cacoo, an online diagramming tool for creating sitemaps, flowcharts, and mind maps.

Reflection on my ICT classes

Reflection on my ICT classes I would like to start by thanking our teacher Aurelia Garcia by having guided us in our development with ICT learning. Without any doubt, the introduction of technology into the classroom will become a very important step to bring our students a richer learning of the English language. During our classes, we´ve worked with several online tools that I´ll surely implement during my own teaching of English. I really like the online tools our teacher has presented us. Most of them are very engaging and easy to handle. Furthermore, most of us really enjoyed working with them. We laughed a lot! 😄 It´s time to take advantage of technology not only as a way of motivating our students but also as a way of communication. In fact, I agree with the idea that websites, social media, social networks, etc. have democratised communication. Therefore, in my blog, I invite you to go through my ICT development. You´ll find h...

Image Chef allows us to design personalised images, posters, and memes. This may be an enjoyable way for students to express feelings and emotions. I designed a meme!😋

short videos in ELT

Short videos in ELT Here there are two wonderful videos to work with students in our ELT lessons. I think they may be a motivating way to deal with topics such as preconceptions, prejudices and addiction. They do not only provide stimulus for classroom activities but also foster critical thinking. Let´s take advantage of them!😉 The 1st is called FAREWELL WITH THE LAST KNIT and the 2nd one is called THE BALCONY GIRL I´ve also found some interesting videos to work with students. Indeed, I´ve used some of them to talk with my students about gender, discrimination, education, etc. Nevertheless, beyond the topics we may suggest, the most important and rewarding of working with videos in ELT classes are the topics students may propose from watching them. From this video we can suggest topics such as: * gender * education * food * toys From this 2nd video we can suggest topics such as : * Discrimination * Self-Resp...

Let´s enjoy ICT in our class!
