Learning Journals

-
Hello guys!!!

 Lets talk about an useful resourced called "Learning Journals".

 Learning Journals are collections of notes, thoughts , observations and resources over a period of time. The aim of a Learning Journal is to improve our learning through the process of writing and thinking about learning experiences inviting the reader to take an active role in order to create new resources, get new and better ideas and to share useful information.

 Why is useful to use a Learning Journal?

- Because they provide us a picture of our growing and understanding of a subject or experience.
- They help us to demonstrate how our learning is developing.
- They allow us to record our thoughts and ideas throughout our experiences of learning.
- Learning journals also help us to reflect our teaching and learning process.
- They allow us to communicate our feelings and our thinking process.
- Last but not least, Learning Journals help us to teach and share information with students, parents and colleagues.


Here there is a list of  some free useful websites to create educative journals:

  • Blogger: https://www.blogger.com/
  • Wordpress: https://es.wordpress.com/
  • Wix : https://es.wix.com/
  • Jimdo: https://es.jimdo.com/
I hope you find them useful and I encourage you to start writing your own journal.
I look forward to our next meeting ðŸ˜Š
Silvana.

Learning on the go, with podcasting learning is no longer a sedentary activity. We can have an online archive of lessons. Easy an accessible.

Hello guys, I know in one of my latest posts , I told you a secret regarding to the final outcome of the Chroma Project😉 but before watching "Channel 4: The News" lets talk a little bit about the video production process. Last thrusday, we were really happy because all of the students of the Master in Bilingualism visited the "Future Classroom Lab" and it was a great and enriching experience for us. We were in the Future Classroom Lab ! Can you believe it? 😎 We were able to develop our Chroma Project there and even if we had to record some scenes twice or three times (now we are proficiency reporters) we did a great job. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the editor in this awesome team, my dear friend Soraya.  She had the patience to edit and tune the video. So, Soraya you are a star! She cut the video and she used the tool  iMovie  to mix the clips with the music and the backgrounds. The backgrounds came from  Pixabay   (we a...
