Stem is everywhere Mooc 2018: my Lesson Plan

When  I started this Mooc I was busy at school and I did not  have the time to write a Learning Diary.
I only started to bookmark some weblinks and  videos and also searched for materials online which I would use for my Lesson Plan.

I really liked the way they introduced the Mooc: I am quoting from the webpage of the course online

" STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is everywhere, and it’s been a game changer for the whole of humanity.
STEM has evolved exponentially in recent human history. We have gotten to a point where most of us are proficient users of technology, yet most of us don't really understand the science behind everyday objects, such as microwaves, mobiles, tech gadgets, etc."

I teach English and love Art, I teach in a school where Art, Italian , English and Paiting are important but I would like my learners to be aware of the importance of STEM.  Subjects related to STEM are important for our daily activities and I do hope that more  learners will think about what they have been doing in subjects  like Sience or Maths.

I have created a lesson plan about  the  issue of  Water: without it people cannot live and it is important to teach the learners about  the best ways to cope with the shortage of water. It is a problem that  is faced everywhere: from the poorest countries to the developed countries. In Italy we have a lot of problems in agriculture and also in everyday life as in some towns and places we do not have enough water.

Here is the WAKELET with the main links and materials I have  used for my  course online:
My Lesson Plan 

I have presented a plan for students working online.
I have also learnt about a new tool to create comics.
Here is the text I created for this lesson.







The lesson is a module about  learning about Water while working together and using also English.
It requires collaboration online, reflecting and also creating videos and writing about  the issue of  water and its importance for us.
