Sharing experiences


This is my second day at Stolpedalsskolen. Luckily Jørgen lent us two bicycles and we got the school by bike. That is an amazing way to move in Aalborg as so many people do it here. That is to say that we are totally integrated in the city life. I were there at eight o'clock and, like in any other secondary school, life starts step by step as more and more students arrive.

We have attended three different classes, English, Danish and Art with tree different teachers, Katrine, Tina and Anna. But in the Art lesson, in all classes students continue using iPad. In the English lesson they were preparing a presentation about their dream hollydays. I still ask myself if it is a good thing to use iPad or laptops all the school time or rather it is no sense. They seem not to hesitate too much about that. In the Danish lesson, Tina spent all the period working on the topic "wellbeing". As Jørgen told us, students have seven Danish periods per week and teachers have to spend one of them working on this issue so as to prevent loneliness, to foster positive actitud and strengthen relationships in the classroom. This is compulsory. The teacher has used a lesson plan provided by a Danish foundation especially designed for it use through iPad or laptops as students are asked to interact with the platform in some activities. It has been of interest for me not only because of the format but also for the content and the activities. It is called Tivnu app.

In the afternoon we have taken the bikes and have visited some parks and the cicy centre where we have had diner in a lively square.

Tomorrow we are visiting Sofiendalskolen, the other school in the plan.
