loísmo, laísmo y leísmo, aclaración Le se emplea como complemento indirecto, tanto para el masculino como para el femenino: «Le dijeron (a él o a ella) una mentira» o «Le extirparon (a él o a ella) el bazo». Lo se emplea como complemento directo, solo para el caso del masculino: «Lo alabaron mucho (a él)» o «Lo vi por la calle (a él)». Dado que hay zonas en las que con esta última función se emplea mayoritariamente le, se acepta también el empleo de le como complemento directo, pero solo cuando se refiere a personas del sexo masculino y en singular, esto es, en los ejemplos anteriores también sería admisible «Le alabaron mucho (a él)» y «Le vi por la calle (a él)», pero se desaconsejarían «Les alabaron mucho (a ellos)» y «Les vi por la calle ( a ellos)» por estar el pronombre en plural. Por otra parte, el leísmo es siempre incorrecto referido a animales y cosas («Se le desbocó el caballo y no pudo dominarle» o «Se le perdió el reloj y no le encontró»).

Twelve Active Learning Strategies Example 1 Example 1 Explanation In order for students to learn effectively, they must make connections between what they already know (prior knowledge) and new content to which they're exposed. The opening of a lecture should facilitate these connections by helping students exercise their prior knowledge of the day's subject matter. The following four slides illustrate strategies which stimulate students' thinking and prepare them to learn. One useful strategy is to open the lecture with a question. Example 2 Example 2 Explanation "Think-Pair-Share" is an active learning strategy that engages students with material on an individual level, in pairs, and finally as a large group. When used at the beginning of a lecture, a Think-Pair-Share strategy can help students organize prior knowledge and brainstorm questions. Example 3 Example 3 Explanation Focused listing is a strategy in which students recall what they know about a subject by creating a list of terms or ideas related to it. Example 4

Définir la littératie numérique Habilo Médias, Centre canadien d'éducation aux médias et de littératie numérique, publie en ligne un document de discussion intitulé « Définir la politique de littératie numérique et la pratique dans le paysage de l’éducation canadienne » visant à définir les caractéristiques et les points d’intérêt de la littératie numérique et de la citoyenneté numérique dans l’ensemble du pays, à explorer des idées et des pratiques pour enseigner et apprendre avec les technologies numériques ainsi que de nouvelles perspectives dans les écoles où l’enseignement et l’apprentissage se font avec ces mêmes technologies. Quelle définition de la littératie numérique ? Selon les auteurs, il n'existe pas de définition consensuelle de la littératie numérique. Pour se forger une solide culture numérique, ils retiennent toutefois l'idée d'une combinaison de capacités technologiques, de compétences intellectuelles et de comportements éthiques.

Think-Pair-Share Think-Pair-Share activities pose a question to students that they must consider alone and then discuss with a neighbor before settling on a final answer. This is a great way to motivate students and promote higher-level thinking. Even though the activity is called think-"PAIR"-share, this is the term many instructors use for pairs and small groups (three or four students) alike. Groups may be formed formally or informally. Often this group discussion "sharing" is followed up with a larger classroom discussion. Some think-pair-share activities are short, "quick-response think-pair-share" and sometimes the activities may be longer and more involved, "extended think-pair-share." Advantages of think-pair-share Instructors find they can have a format change during lecture that only takes a small amount of class time. Steps and tips for using think-pair-share Examples of think-pair-share questions include: Describe and interpret the image. Challenges of the think-pair-share technique

apd-asociaciondeprofesoresdedibujo: Manifiesto por la educación artística. Recogida de firmas. Las personas abajo firmantes queremos expresar nuestra más enérgica oposición a la desaparición de las disciplinas artísticas en la Educación Obligatoria. Las últimas reformas educativas llevadas a cabo en España han ido rebajando paulatinamente la presencia de las Artes Plásticas y Audiovisuales en la educación obligatoria. La implantación de la LOMCE incide en esta tendencia rebajando drásticamente las horas dedicadas a la formación artística Todos los organismos internacionales, desde la UNESCO al propio Parlamento Europeo, han hecho recomendaciones respecto a la necesidad de incluir las Artes en la educación para lograr ciudadanos con pensamiento crítico, creativos y con iniciativa, como invariablemente se proclama en los preámbulos de todas las leyes. Por todos estos motivos exigimos el mantenimiento de la carga horaria de las enseñanzas artísticas en la Educación Obligatoria y la paralización de la LOMCE en tanto que es la causa de todos estos problemas.
