Virtual Rural School
  • Educational Platform called Virtual Rural School
    was created. It contains
  • training activities designed for the module
  • spaces designed for exchanging opinions and
    ideas discussion forums, chats, distribution
    lists, spaces to share documents, etc.
  • e-learning methods
  • The Virtual Rural School has been designed using
    Moodle
  • a free, Open Source software package
  • a Course Management System designed to help
    educators create effective online learning
    communities
  • a system allowing easy interaction between
    teachers and students, as well as among students
  • a design based on a "social constructionist
    pedagogy", which asserts that learning occurs
    particularly well in a collaborative environment
    that everyone builds together
  • a resource that promotes a shift in teacher role
    from 'the source of knowledge' to an influence

19
Virtual Rural School
  • With this educational platform, as a research
    group we aim at
  • training the multigrade teachers to design
    Telematic Projects in order to implement them in
    the multigrade school
  • familiarizing the rural teachers with the
    online training so that they can experience it as
    students before implementing it with their own
    students
  • contributing to the creation of a small virtual
    community of rural teachers who share similar
    social realities within the same country
  • encouraging the cooperative and collaborative
    work, since we consider it essential for the
    correct development of the NEMED Network and
    enriching for every educational process

20
Virtual Rural School
  • These goals coincide, at the same time, with some
    of the goals of the NEMED Network
  • to offer specialized support and training to
    multigrade school teachers
  • to evaluate the application of ICT-based
    methodologies and practices addressed to
    multigrade schools
  • to create the conditions for the sustainability
    and expansion of the network. The same process of
    creating a small virtual community of multigrade
    teachers in Spain is also generating the suitable
    environment for the subsequent incorporation of
    these teachers into the international Network

21
Virtual Rural School
  • We aim not at remaining on a superficial level,
    that is, on the merely technological level, but
    at placing these technological resources at the
    service of the teachers needs. This necessitates
    a clear identification of the learning needs of
    the teachers we are working with.
  • We point towards undoing the usually hierarchical
    existing relationships between experts
    (researchers and academic staff) and
    practitioners (teachers), since only in this way
    is a project of cooperative nature meaningful.
    The goal is that experts and practitioners work
    together, so that experts are nourished by the
    practitioners knowledge while practitioners stop
    being dependent and create their own knowledge
    and learning communities. These must be global
    and self-managed communities founded on
    experience and not only on theory all this being
    possible since the experts provide technological
    resources and knowledge (virtual rural school,
    wiki, etc.).

Pedagogic expectations and results obtained
  • The Virtual Rural School training was designed
    with the purpose that the teachers participating
    in NEMED learn to design a telematic project,
    with its subsequent creation and application in
    the teachers own rural schools.
  • The activities were created to be carried out
    individually however, the teachers were asked,
    specifically, to upload their exercises to share
    them with their colleagues.
  • The UB educational team had considered a
    collective work for the second part of the
    module, in which there were different activities
    to carry out together among the teachers of the
    rural schools.
  • To our surprise the teachers of the Virtual Rural
    School decided to overturn the activities
    scheduled in the educational platform, converting
    them into collective activities this way they
    managed to jump towards what the UB educational
    team had scheduled for the third training phase.
  • Therefore, the module had to be quickly
    restructured in order to answer the need
    expressed by the teachers active in NEMED. The
    educational team assessed this change of plans
    very positively.

24
  • The teachers attitude is very satisfactory, for
    they have managed to create a link that is only
    possible if are really thrilled and committed
    with the project. On different occasions, the
    teachers in the Virtual Rural School have
    expressed their satisfaction and gratitude for
    the opportunity to be connected and to generate a
    collaborative work that fills them with new ideas
    and thrilling experiences (exchange of
    photographs, videos, opinions, experiences,
    beliefs, etc.).
  • The goals that we had planned have already been
    reached
  • creation of a Local Network of rural multigrade
    teachers
  • who are designing and applying a beautiful
    telematic project
  • they are sharing and acquiring knowledge in
    different disciplines, including the use of ICT,
    which was the basic aim of the project
  • furthermore, they are learning an educational
    use of the ICT, and they are getting involved in
    the design through ICT of educational materials
    adapted to their schools real needs and wishes.
  • The project designed by teachers is "Sharing
    Traditions". Its purpose is to share the
    traditions celebrated at schools.
  • The ways of sharing them are different, all
    involving the use of ICT Internet, Skype, e-mail
    (teachers or class e-mail), Office (Word and
    PowerPoint mainly), image processing, digital
    camera, sound processor application), microphone
    with speakers and earphones with micro, digital
    video camera, and also possible specific programs
    such as Click, Hot Potatoes, spreadsheets, etc.

25
The future of Virtual Rural School
Pedagogic goals at local level 1) A greater
involvement of the schools that have expressed
interest but arent yet completely involved in
the project Canary Islands, Zaragoza and
Ariño. 2) Writing a document about the design of
the telematic project entitled "Sharing
Traditions" (by the multigrade teachers of the
Virtual Rural School). 3) An optimal development
of the telematic project "Sharing Traditions"
that allows the continuation of the already
created Network and that, in turn, updates and
improves the teachers knowledge of ICT. 4)
Obtaining, at least, an initial contact with some
school NEMED Network, out of Spain. Pedagogic
proposals at global level Name of the activity
What do we have in common? Goals links between
two or more NEMED local networks, looking for
points in common languages, customs, traditions,
geography, history, etc. Participants Those
multigrade schools which, in spite of language
limitations, we motivate to get
involved. Development It will depend on the
needs, interests and possibilities (time,
languages, etc.) of every country. Schedule The
schedule of the schools that want to work
together.
