I
participated to “Jobshadowing” Mobility in Pisa ,Italy between 4-10 May
2015,also during an entire week I participated and attended some technical specialty
classes in “ITIS Leonardo da Vinci” High School Pisa.
I
enjoyed the great hospitality of my partners from Pisa when I stay in Italy. The
project coordinator Annalisa di Pierro and the others colleagues :Adriana
Scalera, AnnalisaLamanna, TuliaBlundo and others, have taken care of me.
On
Monday I attended to a Mechanic class of
Angela Rossodivita teacher which it develops in two hours. The lesson theme was
about Pitot tube and applications in technical constructions.
The
lesson was about teaching notions about static pressure, Pitot tube working
principle, differential pressure gauge, anemometer. In the first hour was
checked the students previous knowledge
and in the second hour was solved the problem which was their homework.
The
students from the third year were active,they had participated asking
questions,had opinions and arguing the required explanations and they had some
demonstrations on the blackboard.
On
Tuesday, the whole learning system was on strike in Italy.I did not participate
to classes but in exchange I was to Annalisa Di Pierro home where we worked
together to the preliminary report of the project.
On
Wednesday I attended to two hours of Mechanical Tehnology,they were students
from third year,they had made some oxyacetylene flame welding demonstrations. During the lesson
which was developed in the welding workshop the foreman presented the
welding instrument,protective equipment
and he made a welding demonstrations of two metals. The students were paying
attention, they asked questions about the foreman presentation.Teacher Martinego
explained more and had supplementary explanations about theoxyacetylene

Florence, together the Annalisa di Pierro and Annalisa Lammana.In Piazza Santa
Maria Novella students from many schools from Tuscany region sang, playing to
some musical instruments,they shared their opinions about Etwinning projects
where they had participated together with other countries students.The
organization of the event was amazing, the square was full of students,parents
and teachers. In the end of the event they rose blue and yellow balloons as
Europe colors into the brass band children music.The event was continued in the
afternoon to the Michelangelo high school,where they sang songs,a theatre play
and a lot of Power Pointpresentations of Etwinningambassadors. Here Annalisa di

Reality”,themettings which had already took place in Greece and United Kingdom.
It was a well structured presentation focusing on the activities of every

goals and also the tools.
On
Friday, I attended to teacher Giannini lesson on the fourth year of technical
drawing.The students drawcog wheels on A3 size ,they draw in one view and a
section to the quota set by the teacher.In the classroom the teacher corrects
some papers and grades them, six is the passing mark.In the classroom were
twenty five students,every student had the drawing paper and tools and of
course their notebooks.The students draws correctly ,paying attention to their
work.
On
Saturday I participated to the lesson “Planning and organization of commercial
societies,safety,quality”.Teacher LoredanaGiannini used the smart board in her
presentation about process types and she presented a modern method “Just in
time”
The
students were paying attention to her explanations,they had made some examples
of the theoretical ideas and also they asked some questions and solved problems
suggested by their teacher.After this class Ado Graffagnino the foreman showed
me the Cad-Cam lab, how the students were using the worksheets to determine the
lathe axis. The students can do programs
on PC for lathe processing and milling with a minimum command,these are
expensive devices of the high school.
For
me this activity to ITIS Leonardo da
Vinci from Pisa, represented a valuable and very important experience exchange,
from this I found out something about Italian learning system.I met engineer
teachers and the other teachers with a lot of experience in teaching and a vast professional training .
I
saw how it is used the smart board ,I learnt new programs and how to work with them in the classroom
and how to write through new PC programs
some documents.
During
my visit in Pisa I could learn more Italian language and to enrich my
knowledge’s about Italian culture. I visited touristic objectives in Pisa, Florence,and
Lucca,the town where was born Giacomo Puccini.I enjoyed my colleagues welcomed
.
