Friday - my touristic visit of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain

Finally a day off! Teresa took Eero and me to wonderful places Setenil de las Bodegas and Ronda. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny Spanish day with nice places and yummy food. It was a really relaxing day with a lot of great and inspiring touristic sights. We also enjoyed the picaresque countryside. While returning home we also see from the top of the mountain the African mountains and Gibraltar in the distance.

TSP English in Sensara, Benalmadena

This week we are in Sensara, Benalmadena, Spain with 16 great teachers from Belgium, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy and Netherlands.

The carousel way of teacher training

This time a big number of participants was quite a big challenge for us, so I figured out that maybe we should make it carousel like and participants have to change the 'stations' in our case planets  clock-wise. It came out as a useful way of running a course. Luckily we are 4 trainers so each takes one planet to discover new approaches with them. 
Today afternoon is their excursion day to Malaga and the weather is quite friendly comparing to the morning shower. 

Tuesday - about inquiry based learning

Here is or second day at the course. We started OK, but latter WiFi suddenly went down :( and fortunately we had to work on short video inquiry, so we overcome the problem with a lot of activities at and around the hotel. After hard work participants presented their masterpieces and we all admired what was done in such a short time. They asked themselves interesting questions and with the research they also answered them with a lot of interesting clips and ideas. 
Here is my trailer with short snapshots of their work.

Meanwhile we also made a group photo with EUNEOS poster.
