My cool Clil Bank of Useful Resources

Today let's talk about Content Curation. So,what is Content Curation?

Content Curation is the act of discovering and presenting digital content related to a specific subject matter. In other words, it's an awesome resource for teachers and students because it's a time-saver. Through Content Curation we can find and share just the valuable content with our colleagues and with our students.

So...How teachers can use Content Curation Tools in their CLIL Lessons?

I opened "My cool CLIL Bank of Useful Resources" using Pinterest which I would like to share with you . This is a Bank of Common Knowledge. I decided to create some different boards which in my opinion are really helpful for our CLIL classrooms. The "pinboards" that I created are: Science Projects, Literacy, Music, Photography for kids, Literature, Social Science and P.E. All the boards have some interest activities, posters, vocabulary, displays and projects that can be useful in order to be developed in a CLIL session "hands-on". Also having organized boards is time-saving and teachers know how precious is to save time if we want to make the most of our sessions at the school :) 


My choice was Pinterest because it inspires me when I want to get fresh ideas and it helps me to be more creative when I want to decorate my classroom and it also allows me to share the projects that I develop with my students in my own pinboard. Trust me guys, these banks of common knowledge are one of the most advantages of The Digital Era. As teacher we must stay tuned and if Pinterest is not your cup of tea take a look to the list with other useful sites to share educational ideas. ;)





Here you can appreciate a few sites which are truly useful if you want to start creating your own Bank of Clil Resources. Don't be shy! Take the risk :)
I do really hope you enjoyed reading this post and I will be glad to read your suggestions. Suggestions are always welcome buddies!😊😊😊
Lots of love,
Silvana.

Hello folks! I've been away for a while! I enjoyed the Spring Break but finally I'm back!  In this new entry , I want to show you an astonishing resource for our CLIL Lessons : Podcasting !!! Podcasting in the classroom is the latest trend because it stimulates learning through creative means. Some of the benefits are : Creative learning. Learning on the go, with podcasting learning is no longer a sedentary activity. We can have an online archive of lessons. Easy an accessible. One of my collegues and myself decided to create a new project based on podcasting. The first step to create a project is to think about an attractive topic and also t o think about a trending name. The name of our project is   " Book Race!"   and its main aim is to promote reading not only in the classroom but also outside the school.  But before starting any project we have to  adapt it  according to the age of the pupils and also make sure about the sudents' saf

Hey yaaa mates! You right? It's always a pleasure to share my resources and discoveries with you. In this entry, I will speak about Comics as Educational Resources in the classrooms.  In my opinion,  Comics are useful in the classroom due to three main reasons. The first one, is " Engagement" , students can create characters for their own comics and readers follow a story so we can see a real reading engagement . The second reason is "Efficiency"  , because it gives a lot of information in a short story and in a short period of time. Last but not least, "Effectiveness" is also important because with Comics students not only learn the material faster, they are also learning contents and values better. I used   Storyboard That   for my first creation. I chose this tool because is easy to use and suitable for the students to work in our classroom' projects and they can share and personalize their presentations with the whole class. Of c

Hey there! Today I want to talk about how to use videos with Educational Purposes. There are many benefits of  "Using Videos in Education " as shown in several decades of research: Facilitating Thinking and problem-solving. Assisting with mastery learning. Inspiring and engaging students. Learning resources for the future. Enhanced learning experience. Enhanced team working and communication skills. Deeper learning of the topics. What does it mean "To Flip the Class" ? The Flipped Classroom is a blended learning strategy with the aim to improve students' engagement and outcomes. It's key purpose is to provide a greater focus on students' application of conceptual knowledge rather than straight transfer of information. So, my fabulous team and I decided to start a new project based on "The Flipped Classroom Strategy" and we though about an attractive topic:  "The News".  In our project every membe
