Encuentro 1: “Thinking maps: ‘What are they and how to use them’”
Fecha: martes 6 de mayo – Horario: 13.00 a 14.30 hs.  

Resumen: In this session you will learn about eight research-based thinking maps, which can be used to teach any concept in any language. Each map is linked to a specific thought process. By connecting a concrete visual design with a specific abstract-thought process, students create mental visual patterns for thinking. Using thinking maps in the classroom help promote: learner-centered and collaborative learning, concept development, reflective thinking, creativity, clarity of communication, and continuous cognitive development.

Encuentro 3: “Engaging Classroom Games”
Fecha: martes 13 de mayo – Horario: 13.00 a 14.30 hs.
