"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

"Trabajar por proyectos en educación infantil es algo que desde hace años escuchamos, y somos muchos los maestros que lo ponemos en práctica. Esto también ocurre con la programación en Unidades Didácticas, los talleres o centros de interés y demás. Efectivamente, el trabajar por proyectos ofrece muchas posibilidades, tanto a maestros como alumnos, que no ofrece un aprendizaje tradicional. Al trabajar por proyectos los alumnos aprenden investigando, experimentando y viviendo cada uno de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, además de contar con el extra indispensable de nacer de sus propios intereses e inquietudes. Y es precisamente por esto por lo que son tan importantes y ofrecen tan buenos resultados. Pero todo esto es fácil decirlo, como todo. Sin embargo, para trabajar correctamente en esta línea se necesita de una implicación total de los maestros. Es necesario un gran trabajo de elaboración, preparación de materiales y recursos y, como no, de evaluación. Al trabajar por proyectos en esta etapa se nos permite globalizar, algo indispensable en educación infantil. A través de una base podemos trabajar todas las áreas curriculares mientras los alumnos están embelesados con todo lo nuevo que les aparece, con esos pensamientos y descubrimientos que les surgen y, por supuesto, disfrutando. Están tan inmersos que no se dan cuenta de todo lo que están interiorizando, de la cantidad de ideas y conceptos que están asimilando ni de la construcción tan importante que están haciendo de su aprendizaje. Trabajando en esta línea también se favorecen las relaciones sociales y, con ellas, normas sociales de convivencia y valores tan importantes como la cooperación y el respeto, ya que los proyectos facilitan el trabajo en pequeños grupos y, por tanto, les ayuda a aprender a organizar el trabajo, las ideas y a repartir responsabilidades. Pero ¿ cómo se trabaja realmente por proyectos en educación infantil? Para mí, los proyectos siempre d
