Asocial network for teachers in Latin America. In this collaborative learning community, teachers get inspired, share good practices, plan their lessons and learn together. Our focus is technological innovation in the educational field.
This year 1,840 new members were added.
To promote peer learning
and community communication, this year we launched our wall
and also social networks.

This year we developed a new way of finding ourselves adapted to the reality of the teacher:
Through Comunidad Atenea, we accompany and develop the continuous training of teachers throughout the region through various learning experiences and initiatives.
"In first person"
They are meetings where we share good educational practices and build community. Teachers from all over Latin America participate in each virtual workshop and one of them leads it by sharing their practices and the methodology they use so that others can replicate it in their classes.
In a climate of trust between colleagues who work in the territory, the difficulties and the pedagogical strategies to overcome them are analyzed.

Global Collaboration between Schools by Jesus Silveyra
Its objective is to know experiences and resources that facilitate the articulation between schools. Think real and collaborative proposals. Some of the ideas that arose there were being built collaboratively:
-
Wikomo:a collaborative website that brings together videos made by students from all over the world, in which they could teach something of what they know how to do.
-
Dear humans:a collaborative virtual book to alert humans, through stories and illustrations, about the danger of extinction of many animals on the planet.
-
Mafalda in campaign:a collaborative fanzine with stories and drawings of Mafalda visiting the towns where her schools are located.

"Scratch: Programming to learn" (second edition),by Pamela Gonzalez
Their goal is to discover together that we can all program.
By learning to code, we develop the skills to think creatively, act systematically, and work with others.

We provide workshops in an educational camp in Uruguay
In a completely innovative experience, we were invited to offer 3 face-to-face workshops in the first pedagogical teaching camp in Uruguay. For two days, Uruguayan and Argentine educators were the true protagonists of their learning, they exchanged experiences and professional paths.
It was a space created to provoke experiences and reflections within an environment of pedagogical immersion that sought to promote teacher well-being, stimulate the role of leadership to generate a change in education, enhance the process of permanent training and mainly delve into the current sense of the profession.
From Comunidad Atenea we offered the workshops:
-
Learning Landscapes
-
content makers
-
Pedagogical Innovation
We join the global celebration
Scratch Week
Every year, during the second week of May, from different parts of the world they come together in events to share learning and learn by sharing, always using Scratch as a link.
Scratch is a graphical programming environment aimed at children, teenagers and adults to create interactive stories, video games, music, animations, and more, in an easy and intuitive way. It allows exploring how new technologies can engage students in creative learning experiences.
From Comunidad Atenea we join the global celebration by letting the entire educational community know what Scratch and ScratcJr is. We did it through:
-
trainings known as#AthenaExperienceY
"In first person"
-
Creation of the virtual course (MOOCs) "Program to learn"
-
A cultural exchange between classrooms in Argentina and Colombia with children aged 8 and 9

We promote research on the impact of new technologies on children's learning
Together with Marina Bers, co-creator of Scratch Jr, and in conjunction with the DevTech team from Boston College and the Scratch Foundation, we are studying how new technologies that are dedicated to programming and creation can play a positive role in the development and children's learning.
To do this, we trained initial level teachers from Corrientes and Mendoza in the ScratchJr curriculum of 'Coding as Another Language'. They implemented it in their classrooms and the students, divided into control and study groups, were evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the process.
The results suggest that the curriculum was significantly improved by learning the coding language.
We amplify a local project:
"A thousand cranes for inclusion"
Developed by the teacher Martín Vera,“A thousand cranes for inclusion”Its objective is to make visible the challenge of including students with autism in school classrooms. This is part of Comunidad Atenea's mission to take valuable local projects and give them regional projection.
