There are 13 videoguides and one of these, called ASTI CURIOUS,
has been translated into English and Spanish by students

The students are the protagonistof their
own learning process:
they observe, search, take pictures, film, tell stories,
edit, organize their materials to achieve a tangible
and useful product.
Impact and
innovation Cross
learning
(global); expand
different areas
of knowledge
and the
development of
digital skills
• Combining the usual teaching method in the classroom with every day learning (street learning)
• Learning by doing; not just for good school results, but, if possible,
for doing something useful for themselves and also for the community .
• The project introduces a new approach in the teaching-learning relationship; the students have worked in
groups instead of individual work to share ideas. Therefore, school-time is likely to be more productive
because common discussion fosters conscious learning.
• The frontal lesson becomes a shared study; a sort of flipped classroom: students search information on
their own and, in the classroom and go over them with the teacher.
• The classroom becames a laboratory of knowledge, the teacher is the director, but takes a step back
allowing for more initiatives to be taken by the students.
podcASTIng project
built a bridge
by connecting
the quality of the italian
traditional education
and a new
teaching/learning relationship

The history of my practice
“podcASTIng” has been and still is a successful project.
It all began in September 2009 when one of my classes in Brofferio School in Asti was selected by the Italian
Ministry as one of the 156 classes that would undergo an important triennial project: the project Cl@ssi 2.0.
Our school obtained a finance of 30,000 euros. podcASTIng is only a part of the bigger project called PODCAST
IN FREEDOM
6. www.visir-network.eu
My practice today and tomorrow
We have a group on FB called “PODCAST IN FREEDOM” that allows us to
keep in touch through the network.
In this period the boys who made the guides are meeting with the Chairman of the
Tourism Committee in Asti to carry on a new project to promote the tourism,
PODCAST IN LIBERTA’
This project called
“Young people for Asti -
Monferrato
MILAN EXPO 2015”
is expanding to other students and
is involving many schools of the
city.

What would we need to make it scalable?
What are the obtacles?
I thought about consulting the people who made the podcASTIng project...
In fact, they are the stars of the future and
the adults must always be aware and consider their opinion
to answer this question …
