The objective is to learn
about how we live and then
reflect on what we can do to
make our lifestyle more
sustainable. To do this the
students use several ICT
tools such as a Knowledge
Forum, where they post their
findings and questions which
help them build their own
knowledge. They also use
on-line collaborative tools
(Prezi) to present their
findings and video
conference software (VIA)
to share the project results
with other students.

8. 2nd ESO (age 13) – Typewriting
PILE
Content Language Integrated Learning Programme
Global
Overview
Ac0vi0es
And
Methodology
The objective is to learn
to type correctly and
efficiently helping the
students develop their
keyboard skills.
The students use on-line
software to practice
exercises. They also play
typing games. The class
is entirely conducted in
English.
- Every day the students practice in
class, usually through typing games.
- Students always work with the
keyboard covered by a box they built.
That forces them to concentrate on using
the right fingers for the right keys
without looking at the keyboard.
- Throughout the course 2 new keys are
introduced every week.
- An on-line typing test is taken every
week to check students’ progress.
- At the end of the course students must
achieve a minimum typing speed to
pass the course.

- The use of IT technologies
(presentations, internet, etc.) help the
students to follow the subject.
- Each student has a computer. It is used
for theory notes mainly.
- Traditional notebooks are used for
making problems that need graphs and
equations.
- Watching scientific documentaries is a
good tool to popularize other topics that
motivate the students.
- The work in the laboratory is also
important.
- The content and the language are
evaluated 80% and 20% respectively.

11. 4th ESO (age 15) – Mathematics
PILE
