The world is my audience

Here I am again!!!

This time I had an assignment about recording and sharing a video through Flipgrid, specifically a response to the grid “The world is my audience” (#twima 8 – We all have a story!)

I usually do not do this kind of things… I do not have Instagram, for example, because I do not think anyone needs to know what I am doing every single moment… I do not like telling the world things about me, about what I like the most or where I am in every moment. I prefer keeping these things for me, my family, my friends… I believe people do not care and, if so, it would be worse… But this time is different; the aim of this video is not sharing everything, just a little piece of me, and I do not mind doing that. I thought what to tell… my hobbies, my experience abroad, my first time as a teacher, my worst moments, the best ones… What???? And finally, I found my answer! I am going to share my first walk after the lockdown, in a city which is not where I was born, or where I live... but it is my second city since I met my future husband. It is as simple as that, just a walk, thinking out loud why this walk is special, why it is important, and why it deserves to be shared.

Finally, the experience was not as bad as I thought; even I could say I have enjoyed it. Now I am part of that experience called “The world is my audience”, a part of an educational collaborative project, something I would love to see growing up and becoming something special, somewhere for sharing not only personal experiences, but also educational ideas and projects.

I leave here the video I posted in twima#8:

I think the tool is very useful for teachers in two different ways:

#1: For us, as teachers, as we can collaborate and share ideas and educational projects, as well as experiences or doubts.

#2: For our lessons, as we can create videos (5 minutes maximum length) for explaining contents or assignments to our students in a different way, so they can watch it at home as many times as they want/need. Very useful for implementing flipped classroom!!! (I think this is my favourite part of the tool!)

Of course, I would not finish my entry without leaving you the grid of #twima 8 – We all have a story!
