11. Final conclusions

Looking back, it has been a long road walked during this term. Coming back to the first post, I feel we are a step nearer Ithaca but as Kavafis said the goal is not arriving there but enjoying the trip itself. During this trip to  School Guidance and Counselling I feel I've learned at all... I've changed my mind at some point during the year about many things related with didactics and about how to conceive diversity... As it is said in Carlos Cano attention to diversity plan, we all are diverse and from this view we, as teachers, have to try to include everyone so that everyone can get the best of themselves. On the other hand, as Pilar from Gaudem school said, 'this is about eliminating barriers so everyone can learn in the best conditions.' Isn't it the same?
I've been observing at school how methodology matters, how everything can be learnt through cooperative learning, how people, when  given responsibility, respond from this role. On the other hand, I'm aware that I've learned a lot not only contents but also from how this contents were proposed. Each class has been a methodology lab. in which try out some new strategies... So contents were learned without much effort while thinking about methodology and we learned about methodology because we were asked to explain some contents to our peers.  I feel I've been entering in a loop where both parts were fed. I could use many things I observed in the school in my classrooms as examples of the theoretical content and I could see if the contents we were seeing at the subject were put into practice and if so, how they did it. :-)
My mind is a mess of thoughts and ideas, I think this blog has helped me to organize them a bit, to review my notes, to give a voice to old and new thoughts, to rebuild them with new materials, to put them into practice and to learn from my errors. I think I've learnt in the three axis proposed: contents, methodology and ICT and I've tried to reflect it with the entries of the blog. Any comment will be welcome at any point.
Thank you very much.
