TEACHING METHODS

Students will be involved and made actors of some group-works, simulations and practices (“mettiamoci in gioco”) and of the following think moment. 

We will use videos and slides to present some themes and to support activities.

Aulaweb will be useful for teacher to upload some files and for students to support your personal  path and to give some file to the group.
