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!

Stay well!!!

Storyboard

Hi everyone!!!! Here I am again!!! This time I bring you a collaborative work made by Ana , Cintia , and me. It is a double-step project. First, we have created a storyboard (step 1) for creating an educational videoclip (step 2). As you could guess (taking into consideration the tittle of this post...) in this blog's entry I am going to write about the first step: our Storyboard. We did it using the tool StoryboardThat . As always, the first thing you have to do is to register using your e-mail; Google or Microsoft account; your social networks (Twitter or Facebook); or using the link provided by your teacher (if this is your case). Once you have done that, you can start creating storyboards! For so, you have a lot of features : - Scenes : This is the place for choosing your background image. You have different options: town, entertainment, home (indoor and outdoor), school, athletics, transportation, work, classical homes, historical, US history, country

Comic your lessons!

Hi everybody!!! I hope all of you, your families, and your friends are ok. The new tool I bring you today is Pixton , where you can create comics with different purposes. For using it, it is necessary to sign up ; you just need a Gmail, Facebook or Microsoft account, or just an e-mail. Then, the first time you access Pixton with your new account, a window will appear prompting you to visit the “Create page” , where you can start creating your main character. Once you have chosen its characteristics and the place where the story unfolds, you c an start decorating your comic: backgrounds, more characters, colors, dialogues... you can even play with the position and gestures of your characters. I have created my first comic in Pixton. It is about the current situation we have due to Coronavirus. You can find it below: I have to say that Pixton is an easy-to-use tool, it is simple, and intuitive . There you can share your comics; it has teamwork options, and yo

Mind map design

Hello again!!!! This time I have been trying different tools for creating mind maps. I love mind maps because they are very useful for everything: studying, reviewing, preparing a conference, whatever! So, here I bring you different tools you can use for designing them: Mindmeister Coggle Mind42 SpiderScribe Bubbl Creately I have created a mind map with the main contents of plants' lesson. Using it, I could explain students all the lesson, and they can follow the class, as well as studying it and reviewing it at the end of the lesson. In order to create my mind map I have used two of tools above: coggle and SpiderScribe. In both, the first thing you have to do (as usual) is to sign up. They have free plans, although they are not as complete as the paying-plans and, in SpiderScribe, you have some advertisements. Firstly, I am going to focus on coggle. This one is very interesting because you can invite colleagues for designing a collaborative mind map. I
