My morning has started with an Englsih session with Marjo Uotila. They had a listening test and the procedure was similar to ours, the biggest difference was that students had wireless headphones, which I tried as I did the test myself, and that means they can hear better to the recording and the classrooms next door are not bothered by the sound.
After that I heard some music and I saw many of the students dressed as if they were going to the beach!! Eventhough it was all snow outside the school. 
It was the last Friday of the second period and they were celebrating. They had singing and a Kahoot quiz.
I attended a Geography course with teacher Ville Leppäniemi. They were rehearsing the test using their laptops.
This year students are taking the tests of three subjects (philosophy, geography and German) using their laptops. The administration gives each studnet a pendrive with the software to link to the platform were the tests are, it also disables the computer to get free access to the internet. Not evrything worked perfectly, but ninety-nine per cent.
Then I had lunch at the school and Riitta Viittala (Swedish teacher and expert on digital books and matriculation exams) took me to EDUCA (http://educa.messukeskus.com/). It is Finland's largest and most important annual training event for professionals in the education field. |

We met Ms Viittala publishers of digital books (www.e-oppi.fi) and, among others, the union of Finnish principals SUREFIRE (Suomen Rehtorit r.y., www.surefire.fi).

There you can find publishers, expert speakers from all over the world, new materials to work in class, furniture for the classrooms and offices in the school, stationery, music and cultural events, etc. It was an incredible experience which I did not expect. It has been a kind of "present" from Järvenpään lukio, they arranged everything so I could be there and meet very interesting people.
