How local monuments and points of interests can become keys to link learning topics into STEAM activities. A review of examples and practical activities for the classroom.

Do we know the monuments of our territory? In this activity we invited students to investigate the monuments of their territory for their promotion through digital technologies and, in particular, visual block programming and 3D modeling. The classes, organized in groups, had the opportunity to develop two investigative paths, one mathematical-technological for the design of the structure through the composition of solids, the other historical-artistic for the research of information and curiosities related to the chosen monument. About 900 teachers were instructed via a dedicated webinar at national level and provided with an activity plan and materials. At the conclusion of the activity, the two paths were integrated into a final product in which the monument, printed in 3D or built with salvaged materials, is augmented by information found through multimedia resources. We collected and reviewed the teacher's activities and feedback.

Mathematical exercises in textbooks are often boring and unrelated to reality. With MathCityMap (MCM) and Asymptote, it is intended to motivate students to solve real exercises using mathematical modulation ideas. MCM is based on the idea of mathematical trails where you can debate, solve, but also formulate mathematical exercises. To solve the exercise it is necessary to interact with the place, or with an object, where the exercise is located. It is also necessary to use the idea of mathematical modeling since the real situation must be transformed into a mathematical model to which mathematics can be applied.

ASYMPTOTE aims to develop an effective, powerful, and user-friendly digital tool for teaching mathematics online. Both contribute to challenging students and teachers to develop meaningful learning. We will understand better with practical examples.

University of Eastern Finland started a four-year project in 2021 to encourage teachers to use the teaching and learning tools of online and blended pedagogy with the help of pedagogical peer-support. Five experienced teachers from different faculties and the language centre were hired in the project at 50% work time allocations as facilitators of online and blended learning pedagogy.

Facilitators have for example been involved in the building of a self-regulated online learning platform to enhance teachers’ practical skills in online teaching and to raise awareness of the resources and possibilities of online education. This open platform has become a simple starting point to locate not only the technical tools of online teaching and their pedagogical use, but also new pedagogical approaches to increase interactivity, feedback, and continuous evaluation, among others.

Facilitators have helped their peers also with more focused interventions: how to identify and help students at-risk with learning analytics, how to benefits from AI in teaching and how to respond if you find students using it in their assignments, how to use evaluation to support learning, and how to give constructive feedback.
