Who am I on line?

Hi there, the post today is related to a NOOC INTEF training course  that I am doing nowadays. It's related to the net and how can we teach children about security in it. Here you have a mini project for year 6.

Think before you post!

Finally, just to say that I am also at the end of @decodeproject (DIGITAL COMPETENCE) seminar. In this point, one of the activities that is required is to make an input in the net reflecting my thoughts. So here you have mine:

My teaching practice takes an account, among other aspects, the use of new technologies but becoming aware of what digital teaching competency is about with this teaching digital competence seminar, it has opened up new approaches to the present and the future. I am lucky to work in a school that works for projects, involving living and cooperative methodologies, where children take part in their learning process. I would add, as very important, that education professionals have to ensure that technology has not to be decontextualized, I mean, the sense of its presence has to be understood.

December&Alice!

Hi everyone! December is here and, as most of you know, I love traditions and Alice in Wonderland. For that reason, I decided to mix Alice with Christmas and here you have the result: Alice Advent Calendar. Hope you like it! By the way, do not open all the windows. Just one by one.

Story time

Hi there,
I designed this story from a Teacher's magazine's issue. If you are a teacher, you can use it with very young learners. It's related to dinosaurs and parts of the body.

Autumn poem for very young students

Down, down,

yellow and brown.

The leaves

are falling

over the town.

City project

Hi everyone,

this is a ppt about our city or town.

It describes basic vocabulary to check with students.

Useful for English lessons!

After that, students brought shoe boxes to the classroom and they built the city they wanted. Here you have some photos.

Halloween fun art

Hi there, Halloween is coming and there are lots of fun activities you can do with kids but the one I introduce in this post is a fun one related to the celebration.
In this one, they had to use two hands using different coloured felt pens. This activity is a great way to exercise the brain as it uses both sides of the brain simultaneously. Here you have two examples.

Another open badge achieved

Hi there, INTEF created some training courses to enable teachers to build up our projects and share them through a web. You can have a unique collection of badges. Each of them contains data about some skills and the issuing organization within a portable image file. This data can be viewed when you display and share our badges. So, after doing a new eTwinning training course, here you have my new badge. 

A new training course

An eTwinning project is a collaborative work between two or more European schools on a previously agreed subject, topic or issue. The collaboration is carried out through a virtual platform and the use of different web tools. 

Normally, there are some administrators in a project who agree the theme, the duration and the students that will participate in, the competences that they will develop, the final product or products they wish to obtain and the language they will use, etc. Good planning and communication between partners are key factors for the success of a project.  I would recommend to participate in a training course about all of those points, and the best I have participated is the next:

An open badge

Hi there, INTEF created some training courses to enable teachers to build up our unique collection of badges and share them through a web. Each badge you earn contains data about some skills and the issuing organization within a portable image file. This data can be viewed when you display and share our badges. So, after doing a new eTwinning training course, here you have my new badge. Hooray, I have new mates to work with!

A song for October

Students in year 5 are reading/listening to the teacher reading Wonder. Also, they will watch the movie in the classroom. Because of that, I want to introduce this old song that tells the story of meeting a new friend at the beginning of a school year. Auggie, the main character in Wonder the movie, makes some new friends at the camp when you listen to this song.Through its lyrics, it is able to remind childhood.

Also, I want to share this stop motion that Alison Work made for her interactive media class in high school. Congratulations Alison!


I want to work the lyrics with students in year 5. It will be their first listening activity, filling the gaps and learning the song at the same time.

Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizalize or Plickers?

Hi there,

I have just found this inphographic about which tool is the appropiate in each activity and I thought of sharing it due to the clear ideas it give to us, as teachers, when we plan a lesson. Thanks a lot to Matt Miller, an educator, a texbook ditcher a blogger and a speaker.
