Let´s go to ICT class!

Hi everyone! I am here to say goodbye. Our adventure is coming to an end but before saying bye bye I want to share with you different things that I have learnt. We started the subject creating our own  learning journal.  To introduce ourselves we created an  avatar  , I created it using  Voki . It is an on line and free tool. Blogger  is a great tool. It is very easy to use and I used to write all my experiences during the course and also to give my opinion of the different tasks. To self reflect my own learning. Now people can check my progress whenever they want. After that, we added a  Creative Commons Attribution- Non-Commercial-Share Alike4.0 International License   to the blogs. We learnt also how important is to respect  copyrights and to cite and attribute and license all the images we use. It is really important and in my opinion, is one of the most important things we have to teach to students. Since that day I use images from  Pixabay  , here you can find a lot o

Hi everyone! Do you remember our work called Micromachism? Some days ago you could read the information about our new project. We decided to talk about micromachism... it sounds really interesting...isn´t it? Well, if you want to check all the information that we wrote in our Google Drive Doc you can click here  . Some days ago all of the students of the Master in Bilingualism visited the "Future Classroom Lab" and it was a great experience for us. Can you imagine being in a Future classroom Lab? It was amazing. We developed our Chroma project there, we had to record several times until everything was correct. All the members of my group were working so hard in order to get a great work! We recorded several videos so after that we had to put them together. We used Movavi  in order to mix all the videos and add the photos of the background. All the backgrounds were caught from Pixabay  . We caught the photos from this page because we have to respect the a

Hello everyone! Today I am writing a  new post based on mobile learning and digital competence for education. I will explain it later. I attended some days ago to a  live webinar. It was really interesting. The webinar was given by our teacher, María Jesús  and it was organised by the Institut de Formación Contínua -IL Universitat de Catalunya. If you want to receive more information, click here  . The conference was intended for teachers and it was related to the digital competence and how to cope and use it as teachers. Other students were attending to the webinar at the same time. That students were from the Universitat of Barcelona  , in the last link you can find all the information about their Postgrado. Maria Jesus explained us different information and things related to the use of digital competence, the importance of technology in schools. As teachers from the twenty first century is really important to be aware of the digital competence for the process of teaching.

Hello everyone! Today I will present you a very useful tool that I discovered some hours ago. I have been working on a project and I really love it. It is really interesting. For this reason I decided to carry out this activity with my students at school. Do you want to know what it is? It is a podcast! It is a digital audio that you can create talking about different things. I chose sporting events! I created my own podcast with the computer but there are apps to create podcasts using mobile phones. I did it using  Soundcloud  For me, it was not really easy because to be honest, I never did it before. Soundcloud is a digital and free tool that was created to collect music or record diffrent podcasts in an organised way. First of all you have to create an account. After that, you can upload everything as you want an organise them in fields. It is free and on line . I did it using the computed but if you prefer yu can do it with other gadgets such as mobile

Hi everyone! Today, I am writing this post which is the most important for me. You are probably wondering why? If you are really interested, continue reading! Last month, we could observe different feminist demonstrations in different countries. You probably did not know the reason why women were in the streets shouted and singing. In our society, a twenty first century society, women are living with the machism. Now, I am going to explain you what is the meaning of this word. Machism is a thought or attitude that maintains that men are better than women. In our society we can observe machism in advertisements, music, books or movies. For this reason, we decided to create a video intended for children. In this video they can see different situations of machism nowadays. All of us thought that it is really important that children can observe this type of behaviour in society in order to make them aware of the importance of equality and respect today. It is v

Hi again! Today, I would like to show you my mind map. It is intended for sixth graders. It is really important that children know different cultures, for this reason, I created this project. I have used this tool. It is free.  https://coggle.it/   but there are other tools to create mind maps such as: https://www.mindmeister.com/es   https://mind42.com/mindmaps You can find my own mind map here https://coggle.it/diagram/WrE7VeLDpjIJ8ZQq/t/some-countries-of-the-eu In my opinion, using this mind map you can see in  a more clear way how the project is going to be. I show in a very briefly way the activities that children are going to do per day. Moreover, using mind maps helps teacher to organise their ideas when they want to develop a project in class. If you are interesting in creating different mind maps I will explain you how this tool works. First of all you have to create your own account. It is completely free. After that, you have to write the title

Hi everybody!  I am writing again because I want to present you a tool that I recently discovered and it is very useful to create a nice slideshow! I think that if we, as teachers, show the contents to our students in a more visual way, they will learn easily. Searching on the net you can find different tools but I worked with  https://panel.genial.ly/   it is very useful and easy to use, you can create different presentations in a different and easy way, so it is a good tool for teachers. It is online and most of the templates and frames are free. I will present the topic "Women in science" to my students with the following slideshow. It is for students of 4th grade of Primary Education I have created this slideshow, showing the most important women in science during the history because I think that it is really important that children know all the people who have been important for scientific advances and people who continue working in science.  You can f

Hi everyone! As you know I am a teacher and I come from the future so I can tell you some useful tools in order to do teaching easier. Here, children go to school really happy and motivated because they love learning and all innovative things that we do. The students are the center of  their own learning. In my opinion, we, as teachers must teach  our students different important things that motivate them. As professionals we are aware that not all children have the same rhythm of learning, for this reason, the transmission of knowledge in a clear and visual way is very important. There are several webs to present the content in a more visual way. I have chosen Pinterest to create a content curation tool because I found it really useful and visual for me and for the children. Here you can check this tool  https://www.pinterest.es/ But  you can use other tools such as : Pinterest:  https://www.pinterest.es/ Symbaloo:  https://www.symbaloo.com Pearltrees:

I have chosen this topic because people are not aware of the need to take  care of the environment. I think that for children is most important to know how to protect animals and plants instead of naming different animals or types of plants or trees. In my opinion, some years ago, people took care of the nature better than now, for this reason, I think that  is very important that students receive in their classes information about the importance of having a clean environment. I would start the class asking the students if they know what the word pollution means. After the brainstorming I would ask them different questions such as: Do you think that these images are from Spain? Why do you think these places are so dirty? How do you think this situation can be avoided? Do you think that humans are aware

                                                     Hello everyone! Welcome to my  classroom of the future. I come from the future and I  will tell you what we do here  very briefly. My name is Futura, I work as a teacher and  I am 150 years old, so I have lived with different generations of teachers and I have used different methodologies. I love spending my time with my students, they are so friendly and they are very motivated. Also I like listening to rock music and I am very interested in cinema, I think that culture is very important in our society, where the cinema or theatre tickets are cheaper than the tickets in 21st centruy. As I said before, I have worked with different methodologies because these ones have changed with the passing of time.  What is the methodology that we use here? We teach to our students the importance of technology in a society based on globalization, where the  development of technology has increased and has become a very
