Hello everyone!  First of all I hope this blog finds you and your families in good health. As this week's topic I am going to talk about Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and cooperative learning.  But what is cooperative learning?

They can work on a variety of problems, from simple math problems to large assignments such as proposing different solutions for different matters on a national level.  In order to be characterised as effective, c ooperative or collaborative learning activities would invite students to be more active participants in their own learning, to share and discuss their ideas, to engage in argumentation and debate.

Hello everyone!! I really hope you and your families are well and in good health. The past few weeks have been really tough for everyone. We were obliged to change our everyday routines in order to save ourselves and our dear ones. Information about this matter is everywhere.

We also have integrated it as part of our school projects and assignements. Creating a blog was a new way, which to be honest I had only heard on instagram as a way to earn money from. After making some researches, I learnt that is was easy to open one. Difficulties arose when we were asked to follow one another because since most of us had not used it before we didn't know how to do it at first. In my first blog I have written about the importance of technology ( that is the main reason why we all created the blog to start with ) and some advantages and dissadvantages that in my opinion are related to this topic. Technology is everywhere and by saying this...
