This is not a "Goodbye"! It's just a "See you soon!"

Hello guys!

I can say that I'm finishing my Master in Bilingual Education (I still have tasks and exams but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. LOL). Definitely, I'm not sad but to be honest I have mixed feelings because our ICT adventure #ictclil_urjc is about to finish and I don't want to!

I started to create "My Final Artifact" with Genial.ly  but soon I realized that I couldn't add music or voice records. So, I had to start again. My final choice was Powtoon because it gave me the possibility to create a video by using images of "Miss Smurfette" and adding pieces of my favourite songs in every slide. I also added comments expressing my feelings regarding to every tool that we worked with during this adventure (nice and funny comments mates!). Honestly, I spent one day creating my artifact with Powtoon but I cannot regret anything, I really love the final outcome!.

Powtoon has an ample amount of  backgrounds, templates, characters and allows you to upload your own files but you have to take into account that if you want a nice outcome you should spend a huge amount of time in front of your computer. You only need to sign up and try it!

During the "ICT Experience", we had 7 modules and I enjoyed all of them!. I still remember the first day in the ICT class ( I felt so clumy, LOL) but as the time went by I realized that I'm good at it! .I put a lot of effort and creativity in every assignment and I think that I did my best!.

If I had to choose an activity of this subject and the challenge that I enjoyed the most I would choose the "Chroma Project" because we worked hard all together as a team and we visited the "Future Classroom Lab". Also, during this adventure I had the opportunity to discover nice tools and resources such as Canva, Genial.ly, SoundCloud,etc. I'm sure, that all the tools will be useful in my classroom and I've already been using them.

I had a great time while I was creating my final artifact which summarizes this awesome adventure. Time flies and I needed to reflect on how much I learnt and put all the challenges together because now I'm a Proficiency ICT User. (Don't laugh! LOL).





Miss Smurfette became a Proficiency ICT User


I would like to use the opportunity presented by this post to thank to Mª Jesús García for her devotion, patience, cool sense of humour and for her advices. I'm so grateful!

Take care guys, was a pleasure to share these moments with you. Let's keep in touch and remember this is not a goodbye. I'll come back soon with new and fresh ideas.

Lots of hugs, 

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

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 usefu

Tim's Adventures and Comic Adventures!

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
