Thinking about my learning

One of the most important thing in our learning processes is to reflex about it to improve as much as we can. For that purpose we can create a Learning Diary in which yoweu are going to reflect about how everything is going along this project. 

For the learning we can choose different options:

  • Create a shared document with our teacher. 
  • Use any tool like padlet to show our progress.
  • Use a notebook in which we can write. 

Everyday at the end of each lesson we will write on your Learning Diary answering the following questions:

  • Date.
  • What have I done?
  • What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
  • What have I learnt?
  • How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
  • Do I want to learn a bit more about something?

Our teacher will check it and give us some feedback to help our improvements.
