      Next, a practical activity will be scheduled in which the teacher will be able to make a didactic approach on the topics of interest, using free computer resources.

      Finally, a moodle space will be set up to share the result of the personal work with other professionals, in order to obtain feedback that can enrich it.

  • STEP 1. Reflective itinerary. Incorporating new knowledge, skills and attitudes

  • STEP 2. Do an activity

      To do this activity you will need 3 hours of work.


      Instructions:

      1. Share your learning resource in the Work Forum

      2. Explain and share how you would develop the session with the learning resource, highlighting why these rights are necessary to promote in the context of your entity / city / country.
