Infographics in the classroom

USING INFOGRAPHICS 

Hi there!! Welcome to a new post.

Clientmoji

Today I would like to tell you a bit about infographics. Infographics is the visual representation of information, which in this case will make our students understand the contents much better. To achieve the objective that our students understand something better with its use, we will have to take into account that our infographics must have a balance of colours, be visually attractive, and have legible text.

Nowadays there are a large number of applications that we can use to create our infographics. Some examples are the following: Easel.ly, Piktochart, Canva, Smore, Tackk, Mural.ly, Padlet.

In my case I have used Canva. I consider it to be one of the best apps we have today. It's a very intuitive application for people who don't understand much about ICTs. In addition, it provides us with millions of editable templates. To create this infographic I used one of the infographic templates and edited it to create the infographic I wanted. It gives you the option to add titles, different types of text, font sizes and fonts. It also has a section with many images that you can use for free for your creations.

In this case I have created an infographic to explain how plants reproduce. I believe that students often have problems with this concept so the use of this infographic can benefit their acquisition.

I hope you liked my creation. If you have any questions about the app, don't hesitate to ask me. watering plants

What do animals eat?

  What do animals eat? Good afternoon colleagues! How is everything? I´m back after Easter holidays.  This has been a very fantastic week dealing with... ANIMALS. I´m teaching it in 2nd grade.  They love this subject, but it is true that they tend to go a bit crazy trying to talk about their experiences with animals. This week we have been dealing with the subject of what animals eat, which in my view is one of the most "boring" parts regarding to  animals as it does not have too much content. I've been mulling over the idea of how I could teach it in an engaging way. This time I have used Genially as a resource. Genially is a website that allows us to make amazing and eye-catching presentations that will capture the attention of our students. Usually, we tend to use the typical Power Point or Prezi presentation, which is a bit outdated. Thinks I liked from Genially... Genially is very simple to use, with all the steps indicated. With this app you have access to hundreds

Mindmaps Welcome again!!!! Here I bring you the last post before Easter holidays!  These last few days we have been dealing with the topic of weather and climate in Social Sciences. Children love it, but what I have realised is that they get very confused between the two terms and their elements. This week I have been mulling over the idea about what resource I can use to help my students understand the differences and I think I have found the solution. I have thought about the idea of introducing mindmaps. A mindmap is  a diagram in which information is represented visually, usually with a central idea placed in the middle and associated ideas arranged around it.  If we introduce its use in the classroom, we will be able to make our students able to organise the knowledge learnt in any subject.  The mindmaps could be done by hand in the students' notebooks, but what about being able to do them on the computer with thousands of resources to add such as images, colours, etc. In the

 THE SPANISH IMPERIALISM II This is the second part of my last entry. As I have told you before, students are dealing with one of the most dificult topics of Social Sciences. One of the posibilites is the use of Storyboard to make our students aware of the main info about The Spanish Imperialism, but what could be better than recording a video acting as kings? THAT´S WHAT WE DID. This task took us a lot of time, but it was so rewarded. Students loved watching their teachers acting as a professional actors in a film.  To record this video we used: -a king´s costume -a green cloth The most difficult part of the video was the step of creating the chroma. To do this we used Filmora app. You can download it from Internet although you have to pay for use some of the tools. That was our case, but finally we got an incredible result.  We as a teacher had fun recording it.  We hope you enjoy it a lot. If you have any doubt about the use of the app, do not hesistate to contact me. THANK YOU!
