Today, I want to share with you a great tool that I discovered to create comics: http://www.storyboardthat.com/
But you can use other websites as:
https://www.pixton.com/
https://www.creaza.com/frontpage

First of all, I will describe you very briefly how to use this tool,  the first thing you have to do is to create an account and write a tittle. After that, you have to select how many bullets  you want. When you have chosen the bullets, you have to select the background and you have several options such as: indoor, outdoor, at school, in the park...
With this tool you have the opportunity to choose if you want to write very briefly a short description or not.
Once you have writen the tittle , you will find several options such as:

  • Characters: you have a wide variety of characters like people with different ages, sex or jobs, famous people or mythical charcaters. These characters can have different movements, hair or skin color, gestures ...
  • Text: you can select the type of speech bubble that you prefer and different types of letters.
  • Image: You can choose different photographs from the internet to include them in your comic.
  • Colour: you can select the color of all the objects you want.
After I have explained the main characteristics of this tool, I will talk about my personal experience. At the beginning I was completely lost. I had to see a video in youtube that helped me to understand how to use this tool. It is a free tool so you can use it whenever you want.
This website is free and it is very useful and safe for our students but it is a little bit difficult for our students to learn how to use it.
It is really important that students use technology in class, but the youngest students do not know how to use a computer properly. For this reason, I think that the best option is to use this webpage with fourth or fifth graders.

It is a good tool for our students in order to express their feelings and emotions. Also, it is important because they will develop the artistic sense.

The most highlighted feature of this website is that despite being free it offers you a wide range of possibilities.

For our students it  is really important to study in a significant way, so they have to search different options or tools that make their study time useful.

Here, you can see my own comic. I hope you like it.

Machism? In 21st century?

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 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

It is coming to an end....

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
