Someone can do very well in
college and not have what it
takes to succeed in the real
world – and vice versa. Lazlo
Bock went on to say that an
increasing proportion of people
hired at Google these days
don’t have college
degrees. Bock then shared the
five criteria Google does use
when evaluating job
candidates.

If we want to prepare
our students for the 21st
Century we must teach
them four important skills.
Can you type them in the
chatbox?
Clue: they all begin with C…

21st century skills

There’s no learning
without emotion
“To learn, our brain needs an
interesting initial stimulus
that sparks our curiosity and
excitement and opens up the
windows of attention, which
is necessary to build
knowledge.”

Imagine your students have to
describe an image from an exotic
country.
In the 20th century we used to give
out a Black and white photocopy
with the image to describe.
In the 21st century, we create an
AURA AT A CERTAIN POINT OF THE
CLASS.
When our students focus their
smartphones on that point with the
Aurasma app, the image
automatically appears on the screen.

AURASMA:
WHAT THE STUDENTS SEE
=com.aurasma.aurasma&hl=es
You can create treasure hunts,
matching images with vocabulary
items, reordering stories with images
or sounds...

AURASMA:
CREATE AN AURA IN FIVE STEPS
1- DOWNLOAD THE APP AND REGISTER
2- SELECT A REAL “PLACE/OBJECT” YOU WANT
TO AUGMENT
3- SELECT THE CONTENT THAT WILL APPEAR IN
THE “AURA”
