E-colaboración entre docentes mediante herramientas TIC

Abstract

This article presents an innovative educational experience developed during the past academic year, 2010-2011, in the framework of ARCE (Association of Education Centres) of the Ministry of Education. Experience has allowed the formation of an educational group formed by three schools of secondary education and geographically distant from three different regions: the CIFP Juan de Colonia from Castilla y León, IES Virgen de la Esperanza from Andalucia and Extremadura IES from Extremadura. The information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an essential tool in education today and should be applied to all players in the field of education: students, teachers and families. This experience focuses on teachers’ fundamental role in education and specifically in the use of collaborative tools on their part to develop a common project. The use of these collaborative tools, such as a wiki, has allowed on one hand to carry out the activities that are part of the project and to monitor the project status at any time, the enabling each center to know, in real time, the status, and the difficulties encountered in the activities. The accomplishment of a joint project among several schools allows the exchange of experiences to know the educational practices that are carried out in other schools, in other regions, thus enriching the educational process of the center itself and therefore the education that students receive.
