 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!

Infographics in the classroom

  USING INFOGRAPHICS  Hi there!! Welcome to a new post. 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 crea...

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...

Creating comics

  Creating comics Hi there!!! Here´s a new post. Have you ever thought about making comics for your classroom and didn't know how? Today I bring you the solution. I have discovered that there are several websites that allow you to do this. Some of these are: Pixton, Creaza, StoryboardThat. I have been exploring some of the apps. I have to say that some of them require a fee, others are not very visual... that's why I used StoryboardThat. As I've told you before, the use of technology is not my thing, so I try to use easy apps.  What I liked the most about this app is the amount of backgrounds available to make your comics much more real, you can also change all the colours... If I have to highlight something that I didn't like it was the few expressions that you can change to the characters. In this case I have created a comic for our "Values" subject because next term two new children will be coming to our school.  In this way we can show the other pupils ho...
