QUESTIONS (IV)

 1. WHAT FEATURE IS YOUR GREATEST FORTRESS/STRENGTH TO OBTAIN THE POSITION IN ANDORRA?

My great commitment with teaching and with the functions a teacher must  carry out, and specially in a Spanish school abroad: tutorial function, teaching departmnet head, organizitation and participation in complementary and extracurricular activitites, even in Saturdays, as I have demonstrated in my position in Rabat, with my participation in Biology Olympic Games, Sports Championships (Intercentros, as we call them in Morocco), etc. I Have experience of 3yrs as Head of Studies in Lisbon and 1 yr as Head of the CEAD in Rabat, participating in the meetings of the leadership team as one of them.

2. HOW COULD YOU USE THE CLASSROOM OF THE FUTURE IN BIOLOGY TEACHING?

🧠 1. Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR)

• Explore the human body in 3D with VR: Students can take virtual tours inside organs, blood vessels, or even observe how viruses and bacteria act.

• With tools like Merge Cube or AR-enabled tablets, students can manipulate 3D models of cells, DNA, or ecosystems in their own hands.

🖥️ 2. Interactive learning stations

Set up rotating stations where students can move through:

• A simulation corner WITH VIRTUAL LABS (Labster, PhET)

• A gamified quiz station (Kahoot, digital escape rooms)

• A content creation station (video presentations, Genially, Canva, etc.)

• A hands-on lab station using physical experiments or digital sensors/probes (e.g., measuring pH, oxygen levels, temperature…)

• 🧬 3. STEAM-based projects

  With the STEAM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), students could:

  • Program an interactive cell using tools like Scratch or Tinkercad.

  • Use 3D printing to create anatomical models or molecular structures.

  • Design a multimedia campaign on an ecological or public health issue.

  • 🎤 4. Challenge-Based Learning + Technology

    Present a challenge like: "How could we stop the spread of an infectious disease in our community?"
    Students could:

    • Research using digital tools

    • Model the spread of a virus with simulations

    • Design infographics, podcasts, or videos with Canva, Adobe Express, etc.

    🧑‍💻 5. Digital formative assessment

    • Use platforms like Socrative, Edpuzzle (videos with embedded questions), or Flip (formerly Flipgrid) to have students reflect out loud on what they've learned.

    • Create shared rubrics in Google Sheets for peer and self-assessment.
