En defensa de la Educación Pública

This video has been produced by my students at IES Mediterráneo. All of them have participated in the defense of the Public Education

eTwinning Conference in Florence

The Conference draws inspiration from the “Declaration on Promoting citizenship and the common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination through education”, adopted by the EU Ministers of Education in Paris, on March 17, 2015.  

Since then more violence has taken place in Europe and it is even more urgent to discuss how education can contribute to personal development, ensuring inclusive education for all children and young people.

eTwinning is the main collaboration platform for schools in Europe and through the projects carried out by teachers and pupils of every country is a living proof that the cultural differences become an element of discovery and personal enrichment for pupils. eTwinning projects, as widely demonstrated by teachers’ testimonies, can make any pupil feel at home, irrespective of his/her ability and provenance. eTwinning teaches young people to value the good things that the past, the present and the future can give us and present them with problems that affect modern society working on possible solutions – the common European cultural heritage.

This thematic conference will concentrate on how to empower teachers to promote the values of democracy, tolerance and respect for diversity through their work in eTwinning, and will present what eTwinning has done already over the past eleven years.

Participating countries: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom.

A new task to talk about our Constitution, to know it better and comment its articles. You have to create a glog from a given frame I have designed for you. You can change whatever you want but it's necessary to use video, images, recordings and, of course, text.

This is the link where you can start your glog: http://torressouth.edu.glogster.com/the-spanish-constitution

We are the champions

In June of 2013 we turned to a call for aid to attend a Language Immersion program. Although there were only two possible winners for the Region of Murcia we worked with effort and enthusiasm to develop the best program possible, and thus try to win one of those two possibilities

. Finally, our work has been rewarded and we have been WINNERS getting the highest score and ranking first in the Secondary Schools of the Region of Murcia and therefore being chosen to perform the activity. We welcome this and we congratulate the 25 students in 2nd ESO that may attend the camp for free. Congrats!

A new year: new challenges

As you know we have designed a new wiki to improve the writing skill. Here you are the link, just click http://ourwritings.wikispaces.com/ to go there. On the other hand we have another site devoted to the 3rd ESO Bilingual, remember every bilingual class has its own website where pupils upload their blogs and teachers write homework, recommendations, idioms, news, etc... and parents can follow their children learning process. On the right bar you can find these links.

New Aula XXI

My dear students, our tool AULA XXI has changed this year and it doesn't work properly so far. We need to keep in contact so we will do it by email and through our website, we hope everything is fixed soon.

Why the strike tomorrow?

Here is the explanation, a group of teachers and pupils from a public school have created this wonderful video to explain the cuts we are having and the results of them.

A teacher sings

The singer is a professor of chemistry at the Cartagena Technical University, and has a rock band. She's the girl who came to the school to give our 4th ESO students a sexual orientation talk. José Luis is entering a contest to play at the SOS, his video is great. You can vote for it from Facebook from the link below if you like it.
