Hello again!!!


As I told you in my recent entry, I was working with Ana and Cintia in a collaborative outcome. In the last post I told you about the first step (storyboard) and, in this one, I am going to talk about the second step: the Videoclip.


We have recorded a Videoclip titled Finding Katherine. It is about a robbery. Katherine Shadow is a thief that has burgled a Monet's painting from D'Orsay Museum. Inspector Ana will travel from country to country to find and arrest her. She will count with Captain Cintia, who supports her. And also with different witnesses she will talk to, in the different European capital cities. These witnesses will provide Ana different clues (colors of flags, monuments, etc.) and she will pursue Katherine over some European countries, and finally she will arrest this famous thief.

I would use this videoclip in different ways:

- The first option would be using it as an introduction to the topic "European Geography"; as in the video we introduce students to different European countries and their capital cities, as well as their main attractions.

- Another option would be as a review. We can play the video and, after each settle of clues, pause it and let the students guess to which country Ana should travel to get closer to Katherine Shadow. Then we will play the video again, and verify students' hypothesis.

I think both are interesting ways of engaging students towards the geography contents. I think it is suitable for students in the 6th grade of Primary Education.

This video has been storyboarded using the tool StoryboardThat and you can find everything about it in my last post.

It has been a little bit difficult to create this collaborative video, considering the current situation due to Coronavirus, and the consequent lockdown.

We have used different lens of Snap Camera to dress me up, and Skype for the videoconferences. For the production of the video we have used iMovie, which has a lot of different effects and transitions. We recorded ourselves with a virtual green background, in order to be able to use a croma effect, and add the real backgrounds we wished.

We have also added music at the beginning, as well as at the end of the "film". This music, of course, has a free-use license.

Here I leave you the result:


It has been a difficult, but satisfactory experience. We have gone over difficulties and I feel very happy with the result of our work. We had many troubles, but we found a solution for each of them, so I am very proud of our video (however I know it is improvable and seems a little "artificial", due to the current situation).

I hope you find it interesting, and enjoy it!!! It has  been a pleasure to work with Ana and Cintia; all of us did our  best to carry out this project.

Stay safe!!!

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...

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 designin...

Reflect on my super own learning.

Hi everyone!!!  This will be my last post... for now!!! I have finished my ICT subject, for which I created this blog. My idea is to continue writing entries and doing some research in different ICT tools (websites and apps). So this is not a goodbye, just a "see you soon"! For this last post we were asked to do a summary about the course: what activities we did; which tools we used; our outcomes; what we have learnt; what we will use in the future with our students... We should present this summary/reflection using one of the tools we have been introduced during the subject, or a new one! As my teacher told me: "The sky is the limit for me now". We had, at least, to include screenshoots of our outcomes and a video or audio explaining everything we think must be mentioned.  I wanted to "innovate" so I have done some research, and I found an a wesome tool to create picture books . It is   Storyjumper ; it is an online tool, free and easy-to-use....
