Hi everyone again! The next post is related to podcasts and how to bring them into our classrooms as another resource for CLIL subjects. This time I have chosen the topic of herbivores, omnivores and carnivores, which is being taught in the second year of primary education.  The subject will be presented as if it were a Flipped Classroom, as the students will have a video and some questions to answer before starting with the scheduled sessions. Through this methodology we manage to respect the students' learning time and make the most of the learning time, making the students an active subject in the natural sciences class. trench coat In the different sessions, they will work in interactive groups on the three main groups and will make a MINDMAP to organise the information on the subject and an outline to organise their dialogue in the podcast. The latter will be done through their tablets with the voice recorder and uploaded to the IVOOX website. All voice files of the project...

Good day!!! How is it going?   In the following post, I am going to show you how I would use a Slideshow to teach CLIL content in a lively, visual and fun way to our students. There are many platforms to make presentations. But the best known are Genial.ly, Canva, Google slices, Prezi or Powerpoint. Genial.ly  is the one that I have used to create my presentation about the  plants . I am currently teaching this unit in my internship. So I want to share it with all of you! Personally, it is not one of my favourites. But it is at first glance attractive for the teacher who will use it and the pupil who interacts with it. The presentation is at the bottom of this post  or clicking on it . Personally, it is not one of my favourites. But it is at first glance attractive for both the teacher who will use it and the pupil who interacts with it. And the main reason why I don't like it is that it doesn't let you reuse presentations from other colleagues if you are not premium...

Hello Everyone!  What do you think about bringing proposals to the primary classroom, why not create a comic with them integrating CLIL and emotions ? In the following post I am going to show you which page I have used to create a simple comic. It is called storyboardthat . I have used it in free mode and it has let me put a maximum of 6 vignettes. It's quite an interesting tool as it allows you to place: - Characters (of different ages) ... ... and customize every part of their body like color, position and pose. - Places like school, gym, trsnport, village, city... - Text (speech bubbles) to introduce the dialogue - Add objects and pictures Features In my case, I started to create with Pixton, which had more realistic and attractive graphics for students, but it was completely paid and did not let you save the result. That's why I chose storyboardthat, because although it is limited, it allows you to create and use its tools. I would recommend this website for creating comics...

Hi there, back to the routine after Easter holidays? As I told you in the last post, I bring you one more resource that will help us to continue teaching in our 6th grade class about the climates in Europe. In this case I present the infographic. This resource will help us when explaining this topic to our students. T he  infographic  contains the content in a visual and colourful way. With images that accompany the information in the text and help in its comprehension. The websites where you can create them are  Data Wrapper, iCharts, Infografz, Tableau, BeFunky, Genially,  Vizualize, Visme, I nfogram, Canva, Easel.ly and others. And the one I have chosen is Canva. It is the one I ha ve been using during my time as a student and now as a teacher and it is one of the most useful tools to create content. This is my final result with this  program :  As you can see, it is possible to create wonders like this infographic. But you can also edit photos, cre...

The next post is about Mind maps.  Do you know what it is?  Mind maps are a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, readings, drawings, or other concepts linked and arranged radically through a key word or a central idea. Mind maps are a very effective method for extracting and memorizing information. In In our class we can use it so that we can begin to introduce the topic of the subject or project to our students because it is so visual and easy to organize the new terms and ideas. There are many programs to make mindmaps to project them in class such as Mindmeister, Creately, SpiderScribe or goconqr. In my case I have chosen goconqr for the following reasons: - It is free. - You can download the final result as a .PNG image. - You can project it anywhere with this link. - Easy and simple. - You can incorporate images. I have extracted mine from  pixabay  . But on the other hand the main drawback is that the website forces you to make your content public to ...
