[timed-content-server hide="2021-03-01"]CLIL Challenge 2021
During a 5 day challenge from March 1st – 5th I will personally guide you through various topics related to online learning.
The purpose of this challenge?
To help you feel less stressed out and ready to prepare engaging online lessons!
Wondering how to apply CLIL effectively to your online lesson?
You want to...
Have plenty of ideas for websites and apps to use in your online, hybrid or offline lessons
Prepare your (online) CLIL lessons in as little time as possible
Know about practical examples and lesson ideas you can implement immediately
“It will be for a short time only” they said when the first lockdown was initiated....
That was almost a year ago....
... and we yet again find ourselves teaching remotely or in some kind of hybrid way.
You have to make sure students are engaged with the content, all the while teaching them the things you are supposed to teach them.
But instead of seeing your students in class, opening their books and participating in activities...
...you are not even sure if the students are doing what they are supposed to do.
Or even worse: if students are actually present at all.
Maybe you are...
This challenge is aimed at helping you get through these tough times.
Whatever your current challenge is, it's time to make a plan for your online CLIL lessons in the most effective way.
Feeling overwhelmed? You are not the only one
With worldwide lockdowns and other measurements taken against the worldwide threat of the corona virus, you as a teacher find yourself trapped between having to live up to the expectations of the school and the challenges of online teaching.
You might even have to combine that with children at home or partners who work from home as well.
A little challenging one might say.
You have searched far and wide for different tools to use and are still not sure what to choose and apply to make your lessons effective and engaging.
Or you might be using the same websites and apps and are looking for some variation to use and increase student engagement.
Preparing lessons is something that takes more time than usual. You might record movies, have to be available for questions, prepare activities, provide feedback and probably more.
This might just result in stress. A feeling of overwhelm. Of anxiety.
The challenge is completely online so you can participate from wherever you want!
Structure and clarity
What would it be like if you would have a system to prepare your lessons step-by-step, with a list of ICT tools ready to use whenever you want?
If you knew how to make lessons more engaging and interactive to make the lessons fun again?
That is what we will do during the online
CLIL Challenge 2021!
After you have registered, you will receive an email to confirm your registration.
When you did that, you are in!
Every morning at 9:00 CET I will be live in the Facebook group with a short training.
If you cannot make it everyday at 9:00, don't worry! Everything is recorded within the Facebook group.

Complete all of them and hand them in every day to make a chance to win a prize!
