Channel 4 Project - Part 2!

-
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 always respect the authorship, don't forget this guys) and she added some awesome sounds from GarageBand.

As I told you before, our Channel 4 Project is intended for Sixth Graders and one of our objectives is  to "Flip the Classroom". Students are going to watch our TV Programme and then they will have to do some activities related to every new.



In general terms, we got on well and everyone did a fantastic job. Every member of the team had a role: Lorena and Jenny were script writers, Dani was the recorder , Soraya was the editor and myself was the community manager and one of the reporters in the video. So, I also spread news, pics and the outtakes on Twitter using my favourite hashtags "#ictclil_urjc" "#channel4". (Yeah teachers are kind of superheroes, we can do many tasks )😊😆

Regarding to my experience, I can say that I had a great time working with my team. Even if the Chroma Project was the most challenging task , I think I overcame my shyness while we were recording. At the beginning, I was nervous that I could barely speak but as the time went by I felt more comfortable when I was in front of the camera. From my point of view, the coolest part was spreading the news on Twitter and taking pictures of my colleagues. This Project is  a wonderful idea to be carried on  in our classrooms because we can Flip the Classroom in every subject of the Curriculum and as teachers, we  have to forget the traditional lecture method. We must innovate!

Without further ado, here is the final outcome. Make some popcorn and enjoy!


To finish this post,  I hope you use Chroma to innovate in the Classroom! 😛😛😛
See you soon guys and please stay tuned!
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

Channel 4 Project!

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
