Microcity 1: A SMART CITY Transversal Virtual Learning Environments (TVLE): Applied Didactics Focuse

VETL Transversal Education for the 21st Century
Innovation, Technology, and Active Networked Learning

This book offers a new didactic perspective for 21st-century education through AVAT (Virtual Environments for Transversal Learning)-an innovative pedagogical model that merges emerging technologies with integrative approaches grounded in multiple intelligences and active learning.

With a clear and accessible structure, this work provides solid theoretical foundations alongside a wide range of proven classroom experiences where exact and social sciences converge to create meaningful learning. Through shared practices, it shows how breaking down disciplinary silos can foster a more holistic, critical, and collaborative education.

One of its standout activities, "Gardening and Nutrition," engages students in integrating physics, mathematics, geography, and social analysis. This immersive virtual project cultivates 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, informed decision-making, and digital communication.

Each chapter includes:
✔ Contemporary theoretical frameworks and pedagogical approaches
✔ Ready-to-use classroom activities with practical guidance
✔ 20 real-world case studies with assessments
✔ Digital resources adaptable to different educational levels
✔ Strategies to implement AVAT with a transversal focus in schools

This book is an essential tool for teachers, school leaders, educators, and education professionals seeking to innovate and transform their classrooms into dynamic, inclusive spaces that meet the demands of today's world.

VETL is more than a methodology-it's an invitation to rethink education through the lens of networks, collaboration, and integration, empowering students to take ownership of their learning and engage meaningfully with their world.

Designed for primary and secondary education, with adaptable proposals for university levels, this book supports transversal and active teaching from early learning onwards.
It is also a powerful resource for homeschooling, offering guided activities, digital tools, and flexible strategies to support learning at home with an inclusive and holistic approach.

VETL (Virtual Environments for Transversal Learning) reimagines contemporary education by combining multiple pedagogical models and the principles of multiple intelligences and hands-on experience, expanding learning through sociative, networked environments.

New ideas, new pathways.
