Podcast

Hello everyone!

In this class we are going to use and create a podcast. We can use audios, they are often funny, entertaining, educational and rarely boring. We can use podcast to enhance our class, it can help students to improve their listening skills and speaking also we can use audios to work a wide variety of skills:

I have prepared a Google document where is the lesson plan of my project.




The tool we are going to use is SoundCloud: here is the link: https://soundcloud.com/ SoundCloud is an online platform for audio distribution that allows us to make recordings in the cloud, upload audios, promote them and share them. The audio tracks that we record or upload can be tagged, categorized, shared on social networks and organized into playlists.


Here is my channel:



 Here is my podcast where I explain the two activities you will have to do:







I will be evaluated you according to your participation and attitudes in the classroom.


Remember GROUPS  means:

Using podcast students are developing a positive attitude towards using technology. They can also develop creativity and communication skills. New technology always has a heavy impact on education, and podcasting is no different, so using ICT resources is a way to introduce technology in the class.

Infographic

Hello everyone!


I created an infographic to help students to understand the content because It is more visualize.  I used a tool called Canva, I found it very easy. With Canva we can make infographics, we can use templates already created or we can create them.We can also use images, arrows, diagrams, etc. Besides we can write text to explain a little bit of information about the topic. We have different letter styles and we can change the colour and the size. We should add just important information. In addiction we can download and share it like I did.


My infographic is about "Healthy habits", in the infographic you can find seven ways to keep you healthy.


From my point of view, Canva is easy to use and it is attractive to use it. I will use this tool in the future to create more materials for my class. Also, we can let them to create materials.


I hope you like it!

Using mindmaps in class

 Hello everyone!

Today I´m going to talk about apps that you can use it to create mindmaps. From my point of view, mindmaps are a very effective tool to put the most important information. These are some online tools for creating mindmaps: coggle, mindmeister, mind42, spiderscribe and creately.

I used Mindmeister, it is a web application to build and use conceptual maps. One of its best features is that you don´t need to install anything. One of the advantage I found is that it facilitate collective and collaborative work also you can use different colours and shapes.One of the disadvantages I found is that you can´t add images for free because you have to pay.
I think it will motivate students, since it is original and fun app to make conceptual map.

Hello eveyone!


 Today I want to talk about Pixton tool. It is a tool to create comics using figures, scenes and characters. You can use the figures available in the the web tool available in the web tool, adding the dialogues of the characters. I think comics can be powerful learning tools, it can be used as an introduction to the unit. In order to make comics you can also use these tools: Creaza and StoryboardThat.


Using comics in classrooms can engage students and encourages them to learn vocabulary. I like the tool because it it easy to use, I think I will use it to introduce new topics in an enjoyable and creative way.
