| Note by Author: | In order for the activity to meet the objectives set and the key competences consolidated, it is important that students become aware of the environmental, social and economic issues of the topic to be addressed. Regarding the methodology, it is important that the student becomes the protagonist of their own learning. It is for this reason, that we propose an activity in which they are the ones who must look for the information, filter the one they believe is most suitable and agree with the rest of the group's partners to achieve success. The whole process must be done under the supervision of the teacher who will be guiding and helping them to achieve the objectives. The realization of the different reports and all the previous work, will allow them to develop their communication skills, creativity, collaboration, entrepreneurial spirit, as well as other skills within the field of new technologies. |
