Maetiva It is an initiative launched by Ana Pérez de Cámara which aims to encourage teachers to incorporate creative education in the classroom. For this, Ana builds materials and courses for teachers and parents that she makes available on her blog and with which she intends to ensure that children and primary school students, fundamentally, have an education in which the new technologies, the emotional intelligence and the creativity.
I have had the opportunity to participate in the Maetiva's first meeting which was held in Madrid on November 15 and in which Ana presented the project to an audience formed mostly by nursery and primary school teachers. Maetiva He explained that the challenges of education today are to use new technologies and emotional intelligence in the classroom although with a huge focus on creativity. And it is that the current situation requires introducing improvements and changes in education. For example, Ana indicated how in the classroom the digital whiteboard is used mainly as a projector, that computing has to be much more than teaching how to use a mouse and follow the pointer on the screen, that children have an amazing ability to learn and that Current technology makes it easier for kids to move forward very quickly in their learning if they are also provided with materials to boost their creativity. Ana also explained that teachers should be facilitators for students to become responsible for their own learning process.
further Maetiva is not alone and Ana has started weaving nets with other companies and associations concerned with the way in which classes are educated. Thus, he thanked DISFAM, which helps the families of diléxicos children, Tapp, of which we have spoken in Peques and More by your application How are you? and which we will continue talking about, Rosa Aparicio and its contents prepared for children with autism or Santillana with Pupitre and Inevery Crea. In addition, José Antonio Fernández Bravo and his innovative methods for learning mathematics from an early age based on observation and manipulation were also discussed. He also explained Dulac's ideas and the application of digital whiteboards in the classroom.
Although Ana is still targeting her Maetiva project, I think she can reach a clear goal, and her blog is a information exchange node between teachers which companies also attend to their needs and she manages the knowledge by putting it into practice at school with students, building materials and expanding their experience.
I give the thanks to Ana de Maetiva because the meeting was very good, it was very practical and revealing for teachers to know and participate in their project and even be encouraged to develop their own creativity initiatives and to improve the education processes they carry out in school with their children.
