The Conference will begin with the lecture by José Ignacio Gil de Sola Díaz and Axel Ceinos Moraza, former students of the Escuela Profesional Javeriana and entrepreneurs in the technological project “Nutrición y Cocina Asesores” (Nutrition and Kitchen Advisors). Along these same lines and in keeping with the essence of the upcoming congress of Escuelas Católicas de Madrid “En Clave de Ti”, which will take place on the 22, 23 and 24 November, placing the student as the focus of change in schools, it will be the students themselves who will present the following ICT experiences that are being implemented in their centres: “PensaTAC: How we integrate the culture of thought with ICTs” by the School María Virgen (Jesuitinas-Chamartin); “We eat the cell and increase biodiversity” by the School San Ramón y San Antonio; and “ The other face of the world- Recycling and social media use” by the School San Luis de los Franceses.
In the afternoon we will hear from Charo Fernández, Upper Secondary teacher at the School Salesianos Atocha in Madrid, who will prove that teacher and student can be partners in achieving educational success. After this, Sandra Galiano, Elisa García, María González and Lydia Murillo, students from the School Nazaret Oporto in Madrid, who will take us to the world of Big Data to prove, through their experience, how we can go from managing emotions to intelligently controlling massive data.
The conference will end with an educational breakout by Ana María Martínez, teacher at the School San Diego y San Vicente in Madrid, and presentation of the guides “Generation Apps” and “EnREDate con seguridad” produced by Escuelas Católicas to teach students with special educational needs about technology and social media.
