I have just read Christophe Gilger’s guide to 52 digital activities at school, published by Génération5 editions, and I recommend it. More than a guide, it is a real tool book that will allow teachers to integrate digital into their daily practice.
The book allows especially those who are still hesitant to launch safely thanks to a frame and content perfectly adapted to the class. The author knows what he is talking about. The reality of the class he knows. He is a teacher and school director in Haute Savoie.
Book 52 digital activity at school is a real springboard to get started without fear of tinkering and even scrambling about new digital tools. The book offers in a large workbook of 132 pages a clear and concrete pedagogical guide. You will find there among other things a memo with the technical elements necessary for the realization of your sequences: hardware, configs, set up … and of course the 52 activities promised in the title.
Each activity is a model of clarity. Each of them summarises the pedagogical objectives of the activity, the practical considerations (material, duration, technical skills required …) that many books often forget and the detailed course of the activity as well as possible extensions.
The author had the good idea to gather all the sheets in an attached Roma CD. You will find the teacher sheets in PDF format and the student sheets in Word or Open Office format so that you can adapt them to your needs and also allow students to complete them directly on computer.
Another interesting little bonus in the CD provided with the book is a skills booklet for students ready to print. It will allow you to follow the progress of the CP at 6° for the 5 areas of the new reference framework for digital skills.
All the competences of the Digital Competences Reference Framework are identified and implemented in the proposed activities.
In the end an excellent flexible and adaptable resource to your classroom program to inject, without risk, digital into your pedagogical practice. Useful.
