No âmbito do Projeto Promoção de Mudanças na Aprendizagem - Comunidades Escolares de Aprendizagem Gulbenkian XXI, que se encontra em curso nas turmas de 3º ano da escola sede de agrupamento, realizou-se nos passados dias 12 e 13 de março, em Bruxelas, o 2º Workshop Future Classroom Scenarios, promovido pela European Schoolnet e Samsung. Este Workshop decorreu num ambiente de aprendizagem inovador denominado Future Classroom Lab, na sede da European Schoolnet (consulte fotos). Este Workshop foi o segundo do Programa de Desenvolvimento Profissional da Samsung concebido para professores que trabalham com equipamentos digitais em sala de aula. Contou com a participação de professores de vários países europeus: Áustria, Croácia, Letónia, Espanha, Itália, Polónia, Portugal e Sérvia. Os participantes portugueses foram professores das três escolas integradas no projeto: Fátima Ralha (AE de Vidigueira), Paula Valamatos Reis (AE de Ponte Sôr) e Nídia Raimundo Rega (AE de Vendas Novas) e o professor da Universidade de Évora pertencente à equipa de acompanhamento do Projeto, Rui Gonçalo Espadeiro. No seu decurso os professores participantes tomaram conhecimento de um conjunto de recursos e ferramentas digitais que lhes permitirão desenvolver atividades inovadoras nas aulas através do uso das tecnologias, pretendendo-se que as disseminem aos restantes colegas de trabalho. Nele foram apresentados os trabalhos que estão a ser desenvolvidos no âmbito do cenário educativo Conheces a tua terra?, delineado no 1º workshop. Este cenário está a ser desenvolvido pelas três escolas integradas no projeto e pretende aliar o uso das tecnologias à apropriação de conhecimentos mais aprofundados sobre o local onde vivem, através de contato direto com o meio ambiente envolvente e lugares de interesse do ponto de vista histórico, arquitectónico, cultural e gastronómico, entre outras possíveis áreas.
